Revolution Interface, DS Chart-Toppers

Posted by Zonk on from the that-'n'-certainly-is-big dept.

Joystiq reports on the continued success of the DS in Japan, where the two-screened console is not only outselling the 360, but topping the charts as well. They're also showing off mock-ups of what the Revolution virtual console service might work like. As Doc Brown said, "Please excuse the crudity of this model." The virtual console will allow Revolution owners to buy and play classic Nintendo games. Includes a list of possible launch titles.

    Did you read the article? The main text is a sales chart for the week beginning December 26th.

    # FORMAT TITLE
    1 DS Brain Training 2
    2 DS Animal Crossing: Wild World
    3 DS Mario Kart DS
    4 PS2 Kingdom Hearts II
    5 DS DS Training For Adults: Work Your Brain (Brain Training)
    6 PS2 Front Mission 5: Scars of the War
    7 DS Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
    8 DS Gentle Brain Exercises
    9 DS Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop!
    10 DS Pokemon Mysterious Dungeon: Blue Rescue Force

    As you can see, the DS is outselling EVERYTHING, not just the Xbox360, but also the PS2, Gamecube, GBA, and PC games. 8 of the Top 10, and all of the Top 3. For those that may say "but that's just game sales" also read the other article about 13 million DS's being sold. Not shipped, not "sent to retailers", SOLD.
