I can safely say I prefer Famitsu numbers now because they include download cards. Animal Crossing is over a million already with Famitsu tracking. Can wait for me eShop direct leaks so we get the big picture.

Can't wait to see what Pokemon does next week. I'm hoping that game will be a million seller.

Wait, Famitsu tracks download cards but Media Create does not? So we can calculate an estimate of the number of download cards sold, right? And from there, we can calculate the eShop downloads in the first week with the "200k" number.

Yup, that's why we have such a huge discrepency b/n MC and Famitsu - download cards.

The 200k from last week is probably a lot more by now too.

We can't do that, look NSMB 2:

Media Create:

03./05. [3DS] New Super Mario Bros. 2 # (Nintendo) {2012.07.28} (¥4.800) - 41.658 / 1.385.212 (+79%)

Famitsu:

03./05. [3DS] New Super Mario Bros. 2 # (Nintendo) {2012.07.28} (¥4.800) - 37.802 / 1.384.844 (+101%)

Famitsu also includes download cards here, but Media Create is higher. So... here we have a problem. Even if one tracker includes DLC, there are discrepancies between them, so is impossible to get the right answer.

According to this, NSMB 2 has sold -1k by download cards... yeah...

I don't think Famitsu counted download cards then. NSMB was the first of it's kind like that I think, along with Brain Training. Famitsu expanded it's tracking method it seems.

Mmmm... seems odd... If Famitsu expanded its tracking, now it should track NSMB 2 download cards as well. Why leave the game behind, while Animal Crossing is tracked? And this week and last week numbers NSMB 2 was lower than Media Create.

Or do you think Famitsu will only track Download cards from games released after Animal Crossing? Anyway, I'll ask on Neogaf.

That's awesome.

As a huge Nintendo fanboy, I'm glad to see that the 3DSXL alone can take down the Vita.

I get personal satisfaction watching a company I support do well even though we all know the company doesn't give a living sh!t about me.

I've never seen anyone with a Vita, heck I doubt anyone I know knows what it is. So it's no surprise it sells like crap. That and it doesn't have a single good game.
