Nintendo DS worldwide software sales [Update 1]
Coming off the staggering news that the Nintendo DS is the fastest selling system of all time in Japan, we've got another doozy for you. Here are the current estimated numbers for worldwide sales for Nintendo DS software: Nintendogs - 7.37 million Animal Crossing: Wild World - 4.66 million Mario Kart DS - 4.64 million New Super Mario Bros - 3.84 million Super Mario 64 DS - 3.76 million Brain Training - 3.69 million Brain Training 2 - 3.11 million Wario Ware Touched - 1.97 million Brain Flex - 1.58 million Tamogotchi Connection: Corner Shop - 1.27 million Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time - 1.22 million Tetris DS - 1.19 million English Training - 1.14 million Utterly astonishing are the figures for Nintendogs, selling over seven million copies since its release in mid-2005. The best-selling game on Gamecube, Super Smash Bros: Melee, has been around since 2001 and has only managed to sell 6.05 million by comparison. Nintendo is indeed reaching a new audience, and that new audience seems to really like throwing frisbees with a stylus.[Update 1: Apparently, many people missed the "estimated" at the top of the post. Though compiled by an individual, the numbers appear to be at least decently accurate after cross-referencing several other sources. Take the numbers with a grain of salt, and enjoy the picture of the cute puppy.]
