Hero-of-Time Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Another great week for ninty. Yeah its crazy how unstoppable they have become. Feels great to be on the winning side for a change I wonder if anything can change the fortunes of the PS3 now? Alot of the time once a great lead has started its hard to get knocked off the top.
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Good to see some big releases on Nintendo systems. Dragon Quest and Zelda are dominating, and it's great to see the Wii sales particularly high. Highest it has been for a long time...
Dante Posted July 20, 2007 Author Posted July 20, 2007 Anyone notice that the Wii total is now 3 million in Japan.
Goron_3 Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Hourglass is selling REALLY well in Japan; alot better than TP faired and that was a full console version. I reckon it could get past the 1million sold in Japan, and it's bound to sell well in the America's and Europe.
Calza Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 There are more DS owners than Wii owners so it's pretty obivous PH would sell more than TP.
Goron_3 Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 There are more DS owners than Wii owners so it's pretty obivous PH would sell more than TP. yeah good point, but I mean that TP stopped selling quite well very quickly. I mean, 70,000 Wii's are bought every week and only a fraction of them buy TP.
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 But you also have to take into account that new games get released all the time, and with the advertising that goes on those games, the older games tend to just back away out of the limelight. There are a few exceptions, though. WiiSports and WiiPlay have both faired well there since launch.

That said, they did say the control method was made to favour newbies.
