Forums - Sales - DS will Tie GB Next Week in 10+ Million Software Sales

Erik Aston on 04 April 2008

Of course, the top 4 games on GB have still outsold the top game on DS. And likely nothing will catch Tetris or Pokemon RGB, both above 30 million.

Nintendogs could catch Pokemon GS at 23M, and will catch Super Mario Land in a few weeks.

A potential Brain Training 3 (which I'm not expecting), or another Pokemon game (could happen, and even Firered/Leafgreen sold 10M) would be the most likely 8th games... On a long enough time line, SM64DS could make it.

Wii has those 6 likely titles, with Brawl being the least likely but still probable...

More interesting is 5M sellers, where I believe PS1's 14 is the most... DS is about to get 9 with BBA... And Wii will hit 9 before the holidays with LoZ:TP, MP8 and M&S being the other 3. GB has 12 and PS2 has 13.

Wii stands a good chance - Wii Fit / Play / Sports, Galaxy, Brawl, Mario Kart are all pretty much dead certs, only needs one other.

Exactly my thoughts. *looks at signature*

I am actually expecting a 3rd party game to hit 10m on the Wii. I haven't lost all faith in 3rd parties and their future. But if that doesn't happen, there's always Nintendo themselves.


Nintendo themselves - the greatest 1st party ever. They almost always own the top spot for SW each weeks

I doubt a 3rd party will sell 10 million but u never know.

Of series with at least 3 entries, anyways. Brain Training is 2 for 2.

 ur doubting Brawl will pass 10 million??? Are you kidding me??? In America alone it should sell 5 million MIN. LTD . In Japan, around 2 million min. and in Others, 3 mil. min. Don;t forget that the Wii userbase is growing rapidly. It may even become a 20+ million seller IMO

I believe the DS will break 200 million.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
