Big in Japan August 8-14: Monster Hunter and Pokemon spin-offs

@comb5 Oh, ok. I agree with this. :P

@Rovelius I know this is a super late response, but I was just going through my inbox. You totally read my comment wrong. I said there were 40+ incredible games to be played on the PS2, not the 360. So for someone who's never owned one before there is still a lot of fun to be had with the console.

Anyone else notice how, even though most people tell you xbox is the best system, Nintnendo's products continually dominate sales in both consoles and games. Go 3DS! Go!

@packtop Yep, so true

@superxtreme101 Well with Mario 3D,Mario kart7,Kid Icarus,Animal Crossing,Mario Paper etc coming by the end of the years and the beginning of next year. All of them except maybe Kid Icarus(since it's a sequel of a 20 years old game it's hard to know how well it will do) are all games that normaly sell some millions of copies easily and will most likely boost sales of 3DS. But if that don't happen the 3DS won't live much longer...

@packtop Well yeah it would be quite surprising but I think their sales will start to pick up once the first-party games are launched (LM2, Kid Icarus or Super Mario 3D) I am really hoping for a NEW Metroid 3D.

I can still buy a DS Lite? Better pick one up...but where?

Wow, PSP Go sales increased dramatically over last week. That's the one to watch, folks.

@superxtreme101 well it's the first week since the drop price so it isn't really a surprise but if they still sell over 100k next week then it could start to be surprising.

Math Equation 3DS sales > 2 x ( everthing combined) Holy Crap

@packtop But pokemon is still more popular and if pokemon BW was made as a launch title for the 3DS instead of the DS,the 3DS would have won so easily.

@comb5 Care to list the 360's 40+ ''incredible'' games?

i guess nintendo is still going strong, i hope they make a megaman for 3ds (or just a remake of an old one)

@dxdevilex0 So ? Monsters hunter also have a MMO,manga, toys and lot of other things too.

Wait I thought the 3DS was dead and Nintendo was done? Six of the top ten games are on Nintendo platforms and the 3DS sold more units than everything else combined and doubled. Looks like the haters were wrong. Again.

Good to see the 3ds on top.

Wow, that's a lot of 3DSs. o.o

@packtop That's because pokemon has anime for kids,manga for teens,games for people of all ages and toys for kids which are all very popular

BTW why is still PSP selling like hot cakes? not that I have anything against it, it just puzzle me...

Pokemon would have won easily if the 3DS would have been just a few months older. Only about 12k lower when you consider that the 3DS is about 6 months olds and the PSP is about 4-5 years old. It's kinda obvious way more peoples have a PSP then a 3DS and still Pokemon is only around 12k lower. I can't believe pokemon is still so popular after all years... And damn like i though price cut is all Nintendo needed to sell more 3DS now all they need is good game and sorry Vita but your chance to win against the 3DS is getting lower and lower.

PSP Go is still selling? What a piece of crap that thing was!

That's a lot of 3DS's!

Not surprising, with the price cut and all. But hopefully this will lure 3rd party devs back to making games for the 3DS, Megaman Legends 3(D), anyone?

This level of support for the 3DS should really get the ball rolling on 3rd party devs, if they look @ the numbers they'll see that it's definitely worth the investment

@X-TOR-DEN-AIR That would sell a lot too. Japan loves their Monster Hunter, it's their WoW and they are just addicted to it.

Bu bu but I thought the 3ds was dead! Its nice to see kirby doing well, he is really under rated some times.

Wow,from around 30000+ to 196077,just wow... I don't even think that the PSV will sell that even if it's selling at a loss... Keep it up,Nintendo!

Sales of the 3DS are greater than the sales of every other console combined. But analysts and Crytek told me that people don't want portable consoles.

These spinoffs do well in Japan but tank everywhere else--just ask Square Enix. Every time I see one I feel like the Japanese game industry dies a little.

@lol someone trolling hard.

make sense that X360 and ps2 are fighting neck and neck after all they both second generation consoles from thier manufactures,

man so there is a higher chance in japan to find a girl who likes games nice

lol @ 360 competing with the PS2. notice how the original xbox isn't on this list. PS2 , PS3 & Sony themselves are just better (: (my opinion, of course.) ((a very GOOD opinion))

Nearly the same amount of PS2s being sold as 360s, mind=blown.... But it's not like there are 40+ incredible games to still be played on the PS2 though.

what would happen if Capcom made monster hunter for the 3ds

Xbox 360: 1,576 PS2: 1,513 The battle continues ..........

wow everybody snatch the 3ds

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD for US... NOW.
