Thats how its always been for the DS (with the exception of Japan where it completely dominates), its a quiet seller, you don't notice it. Even though its selling a huge amount of software.

Mmmm, though having this thread maintained on the front page is somehow a good thing, I think your conversation would be more appropriate on MSN Messenger or other equivalent softwares.

Well, on topic :
Numbers of title by platform in the individual top 40 in the UK :
360 x 13
Wii x 10
DS x 8
PS3 x 7
PC x 1
PS2 x 1
Just by the look of this, no one would imagine that the DS is actually the record breaking platform in the UK.

The DS has a crap load of games in the 40-200 region... there are just a few chart toppers but a ton that sell well for a long time.

Yes, it sold about the same number of software units in UK as 360 and Wii during November, from last week's thread:
