oh man, thank god i dont live in Japan or even have to associate mysekf with that place, its shameful really.

Millions of them buy "games" like English Training and Brain Training and completely ignore brilliant games like Exit and Lumines solely for the reason that they want them....Truly a sad state of gaming over there.

The fact it's a Nintendo handheld has nothing to do with it's success. For a few months, PSP was outselling the Nintendo DS in Japan due to the game drought the DS had. Once Nintendogs and then all the other quality Nintendo DS games came out, Nintendo DS started dominating the Japanese charts. While the Brain Training series has been successful, they aren't the only games selling well on the Nintendo DS in Japan. Both games and "non-games' for Nintendo DS are selling well in Japan. The Brain Training series and language training software are only part of the reason Nintendo DS has sold well in Japan. Nintendogs, Jump Superstars, Mario Kart DS, Super Mario 64 DS, etc. have all sold well in Japan as well.

You have got to be kidding me.

Seriously, do people only see what they want to see here? Because it sure as hell seems that way.

The fact that literally all of the banter in these sales threads are related to the DS would give someone that impression. Hell, it seems the popularity of Media Create numbers has risen sharply not only on GAF but on the entire Intartronic Mindspace ever since Nintendogs came out.

People should've realized by now that PSP fanboys are extremely paranoid. Obviously a thread that shows DS is doing better then PSP is going to be in favour to the DS. These threads were the exact opposite when PSP was in the lead at the beginning of last year.

Dude, you probably take more offense to fans of other systems' but that does not discount the fact that there is more of a contingent of Nintendo lubbers here.

Remember that "State your console bias" thread?

The English Training game is sold out all over Japan (accourding to my source) and the back order on Amazon.co.jp is shipping on Jan 15.

Here is the link to its nintendo page, looks really neat!--->

For those of us interested in the Japanese language these types of "software" like the Brain Training and Dictionary are a great way to "reverse engineer" the language.

I do this with books on English in Japan/Thailand also, just read them in the opposite way it was intended.

These are all leading up to a Universal Picto-Chat Translator-Teacher/Brain Trainer/calender/daily-planner/PDA app that should sell a BILLION copies in the year 2007.

DS regularly beating everything 3 to 1 is just nutso. I would have thought all of japan would have stopped buying it once the lite was announced.

yeah, and the amazing thing is there are still reports it's selling out! what's going to happen when ds lite launches?

ps2 is declining steadily, as is to be expected this late in its life. it's also lower than last week even with two huge sellers in the top ten, DoC and Shin Onimusha.

the gba range is on it's way out now. micro was a nice little boost but i think ds has taken its sales.

360 is very low.

edit - does anyone have figures for how the original xbox sold in its first 3 months in japan?
