    Quote:Top Ten Software Sales:
    1. New Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo, DS) -- 200,037 units
    2. Brain Training 2 (Nintendo, DS) -- 60,463 units
    3. Winning Eleven Soccer 10 (Konami, PS2) -- 52,124 units
    4. Digimon Story (Bandai, DS) -- 41,135 units
    5. Brain Training (Nintendo, DS) -- 40,878 units
    6. Animal Crossing (Nintendo, DS) -- 30,206 units
    7. Brain Training English Translation (Nintendo, DS) -- 26,723 units
    8. Tetris DS (Nintendo, DS) -- 23,762 units
    9. Neon Genesis Evangelion Pachinko -- (D3, PS2) -- 23,587 units
    10. Doko Demo Issho: Let's Gakkou! (Square Enix, PSP) -- 16,582 units
    Week's Hardware Sales

    DS Lite -- 141,487 units
    PSP -- 24,653 units
    DS -- 22,478 units
    PS2 -- 20,737 units
    GBA SP -- 4,642 units
    Xbox 360 -- 1,407 units
    Game Boy Micro -- 1,294 units
    GameCube -- 1,002 units
    GBA -- 20 units
    Xbox -- 15 units

    The XBox sold 15 units. Wow. The 360 is selling more than the Micro and the Gamecube. That's a surprise as well, but not really. The SP outsold the micro in Japan too eh? I'm not surprised. The micro is all gimic, no substance. I mean, it is amazing how small it is. I'm impressed by that, but not enough to buy it and hang it from my keychain. The thing requires all it's own accessories, and doesn't play GB or GBC games. Further, the new SP has the same bright screen, only a little larger, and the SP is still very attractive a design (it looks great next to my DS Lite, like a near match, except the SP lacks the transparent gloss layer).

    micro still did better than the original GBA, which I am shocked to see is still being sold. 5 more than the XBox it seems :D.

    Also, Brain Age 2, already?!

    "Already"? Huh? The first one came out a while ago in Japan...

    The fact that GB/GBC game batteries don't seem to last as long as cart batteries (yes, I have some GBC games with dying batteries...) might be a reason why they might want to drop that support... but there is no excuse for getting rid of the link cable port. Making a new GBA and then making it so it cannot be used with the GC link is just such a horrible idea... :(

    That's just the last week's sales you know... generally those lists also include year-to-date sales, but you didn't include them here. NSMB's sales total is very impressive for a game that just came out a few weeks ago...

    1.6 million? Just in Japan? Wow... I thought it was lower than that, like 800,000 or so...

    They should make some sort of Japanese Training DS game.
