Big in Japan Nov. 21-27: Skyward Sword

i dont get why anybody questioned nintendo...? and to whoever said that the ds dont have much 3d party support....yeah riiiight - i got over 90 ds games that prove u different i happen to love the ds cause of its huge game library and even though i can pick up a nintendo title here and there im actually not that much into their series since i was brought up with them lowering the prize of the 3ds was a smart move but do u really think the 3ds wouldnt sell when super mario game and mariokart gets released at x mas...? personally i got a list of third party titles im waiting for to be released on the 3ds - i think next year will be great and with that said i dont think any console got a decent game library until its been on the market for 2 years or so

You guys do realise that the 3DS only has a few heavy hitters like SM3DL and MK7 and it's already doing so freaking well,right? Wait till next year with all the must-buys and the 3DS sales will go BOOM.Nintendo,you're awesome.

I only came here to look at the 360's dissapointing sales. :| At least 1,600 were sold this week. :>

MK7 will have the biggest debut for 3ds worldwide. 3ds is going great!

awesome, looks like there's gonne be plenty of people for me to throw shells at online.

All you Sony fans are wrong, Zelda is the best

Zelda is always great~!

Vgchart has a preview that says MK 7 will do 470,000 units. And there is still MH 3P for the 3DS. The system sales will explode after this. Nintendo will have a very nice Japanese holiday (Christmas is not celebrated in Japan). Great sales Ninty

It's because of Mario Kart 7, isn't it?

Ninokuni pretty much flopped. This is pretty sad. :(

Congrats to the 3DS for high sales and to SS for being the top game this week.

Wow, what a shocker.

Nice 3DS sales. :D

If the 3DS becomes the JP oriented portable and not the Vita, then good for Nintendo, but bad for us not being able to play them.

Cant wait for PSV

Man, Nintendo knew what they were doing all along. Great strong sales for Skyward Sword. The game is awesome, have it myself. And glad to see the great sales figures for the 3DS and Wii.

Just picked up a limited edition Zelda 3DS on black friday. It's a pretty sweet little device and things can only get better for it as more games are released! Glad it has significant momentum in Japan.

Look at those 3DS sales!!!! Must be because of the upcoming release of Monster Hunter TriG

@ekalbtwin These are sale statistics for japan....Nintendo products ALWAYS are going to sell well regardless. Don't confuse mercantilism for success, especially since the larger markets are abroad. Its why Nintendo's systems, DS included, have the least amount of 3rd party support.

Good to see the Wii have a pick up in sales with the release of Zelda, and still still see the 3DS destroy everything in its path. That system has become a beast! I almost miss the days when all the haters were screaming that it was going to kill Nintendo.

I forgot to mention that they misspelled "criticizing". Unless they edit the article,you can see they used an S,not a Z.

"criticizing the title for its troublesome controls" And being wrong about it. Every single other reviewer I've looked at has praised the controls.Sorry GS,but you're very much the minority here,and thus,just simply wrong. Keep aggravating Link like this and you'll wake up with the Master Sword pointed just under your chin. Anyhow,much praise for Nintendo and its titles. I don't know why people haven't learned.There are always analysts and haters predicting doom for the Big N,poking fun at the Mario fans who keep saying wait for the holidays,first party games,etc.,and then the fans are right. When will people learn that Nintendo isn't going anywhere? The only things I hope they improve are their 3rd party relationships and their online community. We'll see with the Wii U.

@moviequest14 Its japan, of course nintendo will sell more, it has always been like this. Thats why sony is slowly turning to other markets.

Woah! Look at that number on the 3DS! (Especially compared to the rest!)

Good stuff! Can't wait to see how much Mario kart 3DS sold! I'm part of those numbers ^^ 3DS is awesome! Can't wait for the PSV in December ^^

The PS2 still sells?

Wow 3D Land is still going strong there after so many weeks,and way to go Zelda. :)

Wow! This is mindblowing...makes it several weeks a row that 3ds has had sales more than all the other systems combined! Sorry haters..looks like Nintendo still reigns supreme.

Wow, the 3DS outsold everything this week. O.O
