Wow... I hope that was more due to Konami not shipping enough...
I'll have you know I bought Dawn of Sorrow and not Mario 3 on 3. That does suck though DoS was a damn good game that deserved to sell more than it did.
What are the odds of this thread being replaced by the Official Wii Thread: Part 5 when the new year begins?
Dunno. Just saying...why bother making a good game when the delta in sales will be negligable? Yeah, it's true on every system to a degree, but on a Nintendo system it's beyond ridiculous. It's a vicious cycle though. No good games are made on it because they won't sell, and the non-Nintendo games won't sell because they aren't any good. The kicker is the audience has to step up and reward the companies if they make a killer game (like RE4 or what have you). It's just that they don't. The top 10 best sellers on the DS are all Nintendo games. DoS sold half as much as number 10 on the list. It's probably also the best game on the damn thing (barring the new one, I haven't played it). Nintendogs sold 15 times as many copies in America. WHAT THE HELL
Seriously, it's cool to play with that site just to see how warped the perspective is.
According to that site DoS has sold 230,000 copies and Mario Hoops has sold 272,000. DoS was available in limited supply for a long time while Mario Hoops has always been available everywhere, and DoS cost a lot less to develop than Mario Hoops.
BTW according to that site Metal Gear Acid 2 (a Konami PSP game) has sold only 44,000 copies.
That chart shows Dawn of Sorrow selling 230,000 copies, in North America alone, in its first 13 months.Quote:

Also Final Fantasy III DS has outsold Mario 3 on 3 in Japan 937,500 to 438,500. In America it has also outsold it in each game's first month 168,000 to 101,000.
So yes AAA third party games will sell big on the system. There is a reason why Square Enix is supporting the DS big time in 2007.
can we skip part 5 and make Official Wii Thread: Part 6 the search for the official wii thread part 5Quote:
