I am glad to see DS is up on top but it's a bitter sweet feeling because they won't be up there again until MAYBE the release of StarFox or Final Fanstay

the DS has many tittles that can go up to the top ten...

and Mario bros. games always are on the first places

Oh sweet! Mario is number one! lol.

Oh, and to the guy who said that he didn't believe the Best Buy site because it said Nintendogs had already outsold the Legend of Zelda on the NES, that's actually true. Not only that, it's sold more than any Zelda game ever, actually. It even passed Ocarina. Nintendogs is closing in on 8 million right now. Within a week or two it will pass Halo 2, leaving only five games in this entire generation ahead of it, all for the PS2 (FFX, GT4, GTA3, GTAVC, and GTASA). Nintendogs is selling like MAD.

Here's the link: http://www.vgcharts.org/worldtotals.php

What's Trauma Center doing in there? It wasn't even a hot enough seller to be on any top 10 list at the time of its release, let alone a 10 months after its release. That's pretty sweet.

Can they not get a unified sales chart? I don't like Best Buy they tore down my hometown theatre that was only built in 86 and had a huge screen.

Im getting tired of them passing off best buy sales as total sales

GRAW owns, fight night round 3 owns, tekken dark resurrection owns hard, ncaa 07 is cool. no more comments

Wish I had the cash to buy a DS Lite. Brain Age and the new Mario are the games that have finally made me want one. But alas, I would rather play my 360.

I know.Tekken Dark Ressurection has better graphics and gameplay.No questions asked.

DS..... steady as always im surprised to see trauma center there! yeah

..........and the gamecube is dead.

Damn, I need to get Brain Age.

Go Nintendo go.

No stopping the DS phenomena!

sora 777 please dont compare pokemon to madden i dont play none of them put i at least know that each pokemon game are diferant new people, pokemon, towns, or wat ever madden on the other hand is all ways a update the only real new madden comeing out dont have a release date yet thats the one \for the wii and that cause of the wiimote ea just had to do something new so they can be there when the wii comes out P.S thats like compareing nba live to zelda

It would be nice to see what games are selling best in an actual game store. Sure, Best Buy is a fine place to get info from, but Gamestop or EB Games would be better for games. Then again, it's altogether possible people buy more games from the big name stores than from stores that specialize only in games. There are, after all, two basic kinds of game buyers, the casual and the hardcore. The hardcore (reserving the latest new stuff, etc.) generally go to places like Gamestop whereas the casual (the parents buying birthday/Christmas presents, etc.) go to whatever big store near them sells games, K-Mart, Best Buy, Circuit City, Wal-Mart, etc.

This is just me speculating. I wouldn't mind seeing multiple sale charts, or at least a side-by-side comparison between Best Buy and Gamestop sales.

Football & boxing? What the hell is Sprint Cars? Man, hopefully the draught will be over by the time the next chart is posted.

another victory for japanese alliance (sony+ninty)

Wow, there seems to be a lot of people making fun of the PSP. I wonder why that is. On both US (Best Buy) and Japanese charts there is at least one PSP game on the list. How many GameCube and original XBox games are on those lists...ZERO!

Well considering Gamecube and Xbox are considered "old" now, and that the PSP is "new" and supposed to be a state of the art handheld, I think people have the right to poke a little bit of fun at the system. And as for you complaining about this being only a bestbuy chart, very true but much like a survey, you can't always poll everything. If you take a reasonable sample, it usually indicates the general trend. Not always, but it I think for the most part, it gives you a good indication of where things stand. I've seen many parents shopping in specialty game stores when the price was actually lower at best buy .

Hey Gamespot. Why the Shameless plug for Madden in this article? I'm pretty sure the game will do just fine when it comes out without your EA buttkissing. They basically (and what I would consider unethically) removed all competition from their path.

This article is a sales chart. Not a prediction of the coming week sales.

Oh yeah go DS yah

I don't get why people will buy madden games year after even though there isn't much added content, its just updated. Its like the way people buy 17 different pokemon games just so they can have every color in the rainbow.

i guess bestbuy has the most parents shopping for games and real gamers going elsewhere like they should, combine it with all the other stores that sell games and results will be different, seeing graw and fight night outsell chromehounds,prey,hitman and LOTR for xbox360 in the last week is already enough proof of that.

I don't like the US console charts being based on BB.com. Sprint Cars?! I never even heard of that game until just now. This GameSpot and Best Buy affiliation sucks!

This website doesn't seem to accurate. First of all, it doesn't say when it was updated. Second of all... it says that Nintendogs has already outsold "The Legend of Zelda" for NES. I'm just going to have to call that crap.

http://vgcharts.org/worldtotals.php

i can wait until the ds circle lite comes out with NSMB 2

You know what, you guys saying that this so-called "US Chart" isn't accurate may be right. Tekken: DR shouldn't be droping that far..... man, I don't even shop at Best Buy and these guys call it a US Sales Chart based on whoever buys what at Best Buy. =(

This is not the last time you are going to see the xbox 360 on the list just wait till Gears Of War comes out,or the Wii and Nintendo will rule the Charts Again,also God Of War 2 for PS2 will be up there.

What in the hell is Sprint Cars: Road to Knoxville, and why is it on the best seller list?

Wow the DS is selling really good. I hate handhelds but good job BIG N. Ms is taking the US fast. This month till december they are going to sell consoles like crazy with the line up coming out.

Yet another victory for the MS / Nintendo alliance!!

Three games in the Top 10 for the great Xbox 360 and only two for the PS2? Great job, MS!!

Go, MS & Nintendo!

"Dekuxutu
Mario still is on top? Anyone else want to bet that NSMB will become the best selling game for the DS by the time it's life ends?"

That seems logical, but it also has some real stiff competition. Nintendogs is currently the best selling DS game world wide. It's already sold more than Halo, and is sneaking up on Halo 2.

NSMB is no slouch, having sold nearly 5 million copies since it's release, but there are several other games on the DS that sold as much or better.

Enjoy it guys. This will be one fo the last charts that doesn't feature a Madden game for some time. I can't believe people still buy those broing games year after year.

There are not as many XBOX 360 games competing for sales as there are PS2 games. Those 100 million PS2 owners have WAY more games from which to pick than the 5 million XBOX 360 owners do, meaning it can be more difficult for a PS2 game to dominate the chart. But that will change when Madden 2007 releases, so maybe I know nothing...

whatever

Wow, there seems to be a lot of people making fun of the PSP. I wonder why that is. On both US (Best Buy) and Japanese charts there is at least one PSP game on the list. How many GameCube and original XBox games are on those lists...ZERO!

God GRAW lives on the charts and its great to see mario on there so long as number 1. Trauma Center was allright to like to play a Wii version. What game was Number 1 on the top 10 for the longest?

Mario still is on top? Anyone else want to bet that NSMB will become the best selling game for the DS by the time it's life ends?

" Damn how did fight night come back and a side note ncaa on the 360 outsold the ps2 version thats incredible cause 360 has a fanbase of 5 million and the ps2 has 100 million "
you ` re right . but when NPD monthly game sale chart comes out it ` ll show that all these best buy stuff is a bunch of crap

I wonder when gamespot will post the recent two Nintendo press releases about the success of Brain Age and the DS lite in America and Europe.

Seems the psp is only getting the sony shipped figures of the psp by giving it away when you get a new cell phone or buy the bundles with five games or buy it when they have sale each week where the PSP only costs more then nine dollars then the DS lite without any games.

Wouldn't sales data be more accurate if it didn't just come from one store?!?
When they report box office figurers for movies they don't just count sales from AMC theaters.

Or if they are only going to report sales from one store, why not make it a GAME store like EB / Gamestop?

Actaully, Diablobasher, That game would be in the top 10 in any store. thats a pretty accurate list of america i would say.

Your right about one thing though, Anywhere else but the US the game does squat. like psychonauts squat.

Is GRAW 360 still there? Wow... I swear it's been in the charts since release.

thank goodness for madden. it might just make x360 look good for a few weeks. it's sad to see that it is playing catch up to 2nd gen systems when it should be dominating the charts - not just here in the US but also in other countries. it is so saddening that it can't even get in the top ten of international charts. hope it can keep it's head above water once the better 3rd gen systems arrive this fall.

I won't be surprised if NSMB beats Madden!!

Why dont you get sales information from game stores, isnt bestbuy a general store? like woolworths in the uk. Their charts are bound to be crap, i mean, everybody knows super mario bros, so of course its gonna be near the top.

But seriously, on any serious chart, NCAwtf would be nowhere near the top, not even on the damn chart to be honest.

Go get some real info please gamespot.

Meh,DS doesn't attract me at all.Then again,I'm not handheld kind of guy.

Nice to see the 360 gaining.Rock on MS.

Fire the reporter who calls this "THE US Console charts" Please

THIS IS NO THE US CHARTS... OMG!!! ITS JUST ONE STORE... ALBEIT ITS A BIG STORE BUT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSAND OTHER STORES THAT SELL GAMES
