The current weekly charts have it at 64k / week - which is around 3.5m / year. By the time the DS is dead - it could well have sold 20m worldwide. Wow. |
If it passes SMB3 at 17.28M, it will be the best-selling single SKU ever (excluding pack-ins).
More Brain Training is at 4.98M in Japan, and sold 6K last week. So it will reach 5M during March.

"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
