Sales are a bit different this week, a new Gundam title was released for the PS2 and it took the top spot away from Children of Mana as it came in second on the charts. However this is the best debut a Square-Enix title has made so far on the DS, so hopefully these sales encourage them to make even more games for the system. Lastly, you can see that shortage severely affected DS Lite sales, let's hope Nintendo can ship more with the new colors on the 11th.

  How many DSL units shipped on the first day? I thought Nintendo would ship +100,000 units on launch day?

  wow an extra 117,556 ds units in one week and to think next week should have an even higher amount of sales with the two other colors coming and even more orignal ds units. i hope children of mana sells at least 1m units so square will give us a few more of there games.

  I hope Nintendo is not using the scarcity to make their product look more valuable.

  That's awesome to hear, i'm glad it's still selling so well. Nice to hear Children of Mana is out as well, hopefully that won't mean we're left waiting too long for it. Oh, and PSP gets Valkyrie Profile? Damnation!
