Is it just me or is New Super Mario Bros. actually climbing the charts there... as well as Animal Crossing Wild World?

Does this chart list only console or PC games as well? I've noticed that PC gaming isn't what it used to be, especially because the console generation transition isn't nearly over and the PC has a lot less to offer to somebody deciding between a console and a PC.

@Ghostm: That's not really up to them, it's up to Capcom, and they already decided on the Wii. It'll probably make them a lot more money there anyway.

@tpacchia: You didn't read the WSJ article very closely. They were talking about the Wii not Nintendo as a whole. The DS takes up a good chunk of that list.

Looking for a non-Nintendo or Capcom Wii title on that list...Deca Sports (@133,000).

@Shindokie: Read my Messages: The Suikoden not coming to the US might have something to do with the moratorium of PSX/PS2 ports that Sony USA put on PSP developers; despite having 2 games packaged as one, it probably didn't pass muster as "40% new content" or whatever the requirement was. That said, you could always import it...and learn Japanese...>_>

I can't believe Star Ocean didn't do a good job. I honestly believed that Japan loved that game. I hope they bring it out here because unlike Konami who hasn't brought the Suikoden pack for the psp out of Japan. That makes me mad!!!! *rips screen from laptop*

We need mroe games like this. Keep giving the "casual" their Wii fits and such, I need oldschool Nintendo proper games. And someone call Namco and tell them I want Ace Combat on the Wii. (But "The Sky Crawlers" will have to do...)

Well, don't forget, there's a great deal more PSPs out there in Japan than there are Wii's. If availability is still a concern across the Pacific, then SSB:B will have some pretty awesome legs, as well.

Not that I'm saying it's going to surpass Monster Hunter, don't get me wrong, Monster Hunter will probably finish out the year at least in the top three over there, if I had to guess. I'm just saying that SSB:B will have some pretty strong legs, like always.

Its as though in Japan, the centre of all technology and videogames (well the pioneers at the very least), they've gone backwards, with lower tech. Weird eh.
