Forums - Sales Discussion - 2 million DS sold in 1 week, bravo

2 million... In 1 week!?!?!?!?! Man, oh, man!



Around the Network

Great! Now please give us Final Fantasy IV, DQ IV & DQ V, Blue Dragon + and ASH and I'll abandon my Wii.

(until Mario Kart and Brawl that is)



Wowzers. DS = crazy

Gratz Nintendo.



There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.

man 2 million is absolutely insane. too bad nintendo didn't have 350,000 more wii's available for last week cuz then wii would have taken the console record as well!



end of '08 predictions: wii - 43 million,  360 - 25 million, ps3 - 20 million

 

Games I've beat recently: Super Mario Galaxy, Knights of the Old Republic, Shadow of the Collossus

 

Proud owner of wii, gamecube, xbox, ps2, dreamcast, n64, snes, genesis, 3DO, nes, atari, intellivision, unisonic tournament 2000, and gameboy

Come on, 1.77 to 2.05 million..... that's almost 300k units.... 300k units is close to an averge yearly week for most systems. That means it's a pretty steep record.

14% increase.

that's like beating your 6 minute mile by doing a 5:11 minute mile. It's a BIG difference.



Numbers: Checker Players > Halo Players

Checkers Age and replayability > Halo Age and replayability

Therefore, Checkers > Halo

So, Checkers is a better game than Halo.

What's even more impressive is that Nintendo is posting these sales without a single price cut. How long will it be before they even need to resort to that?



My End of 2008 Hardware Predictions (console only):

Wii : 50 million

360: 28 million

PS3: 24 million

These predictions were made on January 3rd and won't be revised

The ds had a price cut, from $149.99 to $129.99

I bet this is an industry-wide single-company record also, 3.5m hardware units in 1 week has to be a record.

Oh yeah, I sometimes forget how horrible the DS sales were at the start.
