How much did Girl's Mode sell it's first week on the DS? I remember it reaching up to 900k LTD, iirc.

Around 86k.

It was during the golden year of 2008, though.

Hmmm...  yeah, I think your 60k prediction is spot on. 


If the hardware is a hit among girls that number could go higher.

With the original Misty Pink 3DS, sales jumped 20k week-to-week. But now it's hard to predict, since it's only one model receiving the new color. Normal 3DS sales will remain unchanged.

Surprised FFIII sold that much considering its available on NDS and on phones.


What was the FW in DS?

OT: Did something happen that week, I see some 3DS and Wii titles that are actually up. Thats cool.

A whopping 500k FW

Did you know... this was the first high profile 3rd party game available on the 3DS in japan, near two years after launch? Shows a lot the "faith" the DS had back then from third parties.



Damn, took 2 years for a major 3rd party game to make it to the DS. Wow. Imagine if that kind of support was there from the start. o_O

Shoot, it's not like first party support was robust from the start either!

You mean DS right? ;)

Wow, well there is definately more interest in the 3DS, but I still think that these sells are not great. They seem ok, mostly because the direct competitor is not really a 'competitor', but sales could be higher.
