Just like the the UK pop charts, and the US movie charts, the JAP games charts are the most influential in the world. This week's top 10 selling games from the Empire Of The Sun are:
01 NDS Final Fantasy 3 - 503.051 / NEW 02 NDS NEW Super Mario Brothers - 65.556 / 2.901.264 03 NDS Rune Factory - 42.210 / NEW 04 NDS Brain Age 2 - 41.784 / 3.073.195 05 NDS Cooking Navi - 37.326 / 384.045 06 NDS Tamagotchi 2 - 30.504 /430.933 07 NDS Mario Basketball 3on3 - 30.355 08 NDS Animal Crossing Wild World - 30.023 / 3.149.131 09 NDS Brain Age - 22.866 / 2.736.150 10 NDS English Training - 17.465
As you can see, ALL TOP 10 GAMES IN JAPAN ARE NINTENDO DS. With about 5 of them either made by, or published by The Big N themselves.
Also, on the 14th of September in US/JAP and the 15th in EU, Nintendo are holding a press conference where they will hopefully reveal all about the Wii, including prices, release dates, and that final big secret they're holding back.
This Nintendo fan thinks that the secret is going to be a bit disappointing, perhaps something along the lines of a good GPU or something I don't know. But what I also think is that the Wii will dominate. Japan will fall head over heels for it, and it's priced so cheap (nintendo promise it won't be more than $250) that even people with x360/ps3 might grab one (like yours truely).
So, could Nintendo reclaim the crown it rightly deserves but lost 10 years ago to the all-mighty Sony? Wii'll see :p
