  • Yeah ^^ As I said before: The DS is the best console EVER imho and it seems i´m not alone with this opinion ;) Its freaking awesome! 10 DS Games dominating the Gamecharts with 4 games already sold over or almost 3 million copys ^^

  • I'm completely impressed with the staying power of Cooking Navi.

  • Did my comment get deleted or did I forget to hit the submit button? O.O; ... Anyways, I hope Cooking Navi and Rune factory make it to America/europe by 2007.

  • I'm just a bit worried that even though the DS games are dominating the charts, it is very rare that you see third party games in there for longer than 2 weeks. Nintendo titles are always in the top band of sales, so this could lead to the same old same old with third parties pissed at nintendo and their titles not selling extremely well as they just arent as goon as the big N's.

  • @ jonno394 Yeah, this may be the case, but due to these kind of sales I daresay they'll stick with Nintendo (this time...) Oh, I'm kinda dissapointed about runefactory. thought that might sell better. and DSlite hardware selling more than 3 times more than all the other hardware combined... 0_0
