16. [WII] Donkey Kong Country Returns (Nintendo) - 559,968

Go Donkey Kong Country Returns GOOOOO! Deserves every sale!

[Cipherr]

Sooooo whats the oldest game on that list, anyone know? Is it NSMB ds or something?

82. [WII] Xenoblade (Nintendo) - 141,059

Japan, you have failed me. Tsk tsk.

[Thunder Monkey]

And it won't end until the hardware stops selling completely.

Such is the psychotic power of Nintendo. Their games sell forever... and very rarely at less than the starting price.

Every developer wishes they had at least one franchise like that. And Nintendo has several.

[akilshohen]

Kinect adventures sold well for something that only came out in Nov on 360...

[Little Green Yoda]

PES Wii doesn't sell well even in Nipponland? The PS3 version had a fairly solid showing @ 29th.

[ntropy]

Sooooo whats the oldest game on that list, anyone know? Is it NSMB ds or something?

78. [NDS] Mario Kart DS (Nintendo) - 145,761 / 3,709,271 (released Dec 8, 2005)?

NSMB DS released May 25, 2006

[Smiles and Cries]

DQ9?

[Gomu Gomu]

Nintendo has Japan by the balls.

[Leon S. Kennedy]

Sooooo whats the oldest game on that list, anyone know? Is it NSMB ds or something?

Super Mario All Stars is very old. Embarrassing that not a single PS3 game sold better than an old recycled Nintendo game.

[Ratrat]

lol at GT5. Peace Walker sold more than MGS4!?

[perfectchaos007]

DQ9?

#66

[DiddyBop]

lol at GT5. Peace Walker sold more than MGS4!?

It's the better game, no surprises there

[Tiktaalik]

lol at GT5. Peace Walker sold more than MGS4!?

It's on a more popular system.

[Ratrat]

Yeah, I'm ecstatic.

It's on a more popular system.

But its not numbered and I for some reason had the impression it underperformed in spite of its monster hunter ripoff ambitions. >_>

[Rahxephon91]

It's the better game, no surprises there

You mean the game that controls poorly? Yeah PW is worse then 4.

Still good to see it sold well.

[AniHawk]

Spirit Tracks actually did all right after all.

Also, NSMB DS selling 6m in Japan is all kinds of crazy. Seriously.

[_Alkaline_]

Thanks cvx.

Would love to get a Mario chart update, but is that Famitu or MC? I'm guessing the latter?

[Bel Marduk]

Xenoblade is 141k in Famitsu but 180k in Media Create? What?

Hmmm...

[ULTROS!]

NDS - 30
PSP - 26

360 - 1

[Ignis Fatuus]

It didn't sell outside of Japan.

[MattyGrovesOrMe]

7 games moved over a million copies in 2010.
7 games moved over a million in 2009.
7 games moved over a million in 2008.
10 games moved over a million in 2007.

25 of these 31 games belong to either of the following franchises: Mario (6), Monster Hunter (3), Pokemon (5), Dragon Quest (5), Wii ___ [Sports/Fit/Party, etc] (6)

All 31 games were published by either Nintendo, Capcom or Square Enix

[FINALFANTASYDOG]

91. [PS3] Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots PS3 The Best (Konami) - 125,259 / 189,973

This came out June 18th, 2009, Sold an extra 125,000 copies this year.. putting MGS4 Total Japan sales at around 900,000. Yep Mgs4 will more then likely end up being PS3's 2nd or 3rd million seller in Japan.

[Ratrat]

It didn't sell outside of Japan.

Surely it did more than MPO ww?

[ShockingAlberto]

Yeah, I'm ecstatic. But its not numbered and I for some reason had the impression it underperformed in spite of its monster hunter ripoff ambitions. >_>

Konami basically sold their soul to make sure PW sold well.

[Allan Holdsworth]

Spirit Tracks actually did all right after all.

Yeah but it price collapsed pretty badly early on. Overall it was a failure.

[Blablurn]

very nice peace walker!

[FINALFANTASYDOG]

Kinect adventures sold well for something that only came out in Nov on 360...

Kinect adventures = Kinect pack-in in Japan, so that means Microsoft sold 71,030
Kinects in Japan in 2010(Giving us a current attach rate of 5 percent)

[The Take Out Bandit]

I'm pretty shocked at how well Ken's Rage sold.

Popular comic/cartoon franchise gets game and sells well.

Not at all shocking.

Any word on God Eater getting a US release?

[FINALFANTASYDOG]

This also Puts Fist of the north star as the no.4 cross-platform best selling HD-game in Japan(behind FFXII, MGS4 RE5)

God eater is suppose to be Spring 2011 in AMerica.

Galaxy 2 @ 900k, almost 1M :( How did Galaxy 1 do? What are the chances of Galaxy 2 becoming a millionseller?

[Mockingbird]

So does this track all units even after they've fallen off the top 50 charts? Or is this just summing up all 12 months of games that have charted chart?

82. [WII] Xenoblade (Nintendo) - 141,059

This isn't bad right? I mean, it's probably broken even at least?

[_Alkaline_]

Galaxy 2 @ 900k, almost 1M :( How did Galaxy 1 do? What are the chances of Galaxy 2 becoming a millionseller?

Galaxy basically did the same, but 2 should pull slightly ahead in the long run. It'll likely make 1 million but not for a while at least.

[Rahxephon91]

Popular comic/cartoon franchise gets game and sells well. Not at all shocking. Any word on God Eater getting a US release?

God Eater Burst comes out here March 15th.

[FINALFANTASYDOG]

Galaxy 2 @ 900k, almost 1M :( How did Galaxy 1 do? What are the chances of Galaxy 2 becoming a millionseller?

Latest figure we have for Galaxy is 995.283.
Considering Nintendo evergreen Galaxy 2 will most assuredly eventually make it to a million

So does this track all units even after they've fallen off the top 50 charts? Or is this just summing up all 12 months of games that have charted chart?

Yes, tracks after they've fallen off the top 50.

[Thunder Monkey]

Also, NSMB DS selling 6m in Japan is all kinds of crazy. Seriously.

I'm still at a loss of words for just how well Nintendo has done this past generation.

It's really crazy. They've always had dominance in the handheld market... but that handheld market got huge. The addition of Sony alone was huge for the market... but somehow Nintendo's total unit sales skyrocketed as well.

Crazy shit.

Wonder how long this expansion of the handheld market will continue.

[revolverjgw]

Holy cats, I didn't know Fist of the North Star was still so popular

[Drkirby]

[PSP] Ace Combat X2: Joint Assault (Bandai Namco) - 136,806

Well, it is nice to see it got some decent sales some where, the West completely ignored the game (I have yet to play it yet though, so I can't talk much)

[cantona222]

Great analysis.
I thought FF franchise will have some showing there.

How come the total Japan sales of MGS4 is 900,000? isn't the number after the slash / In the list is the total sales number? which shows only 189,973 and not 900,000. Please explain.

Two versions.

[jeremy1456]

Nintendomination.

The PSP is the only worthwhile contender to it, but with the 3DS, I dunno.

[onken]

It's the better game, no surprises there

Since when has that got anything to do with it?

Also, no.
