DS game The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is racking up big sales in Japan. According to Japanese retailer blogs, estimates are that Nintendo shipped 400,000 copies of the game. Apparently 350,000 of them were sold. Not Pokémon numbers, but damn close. As Chris Kohler over at Game|Life points out, Zelda games aren't *that* popular in Japan — good thing the DS is! Looks like this new version is a smash. Brian Ashcraft
