Weekly Australian Sales Figures

Ah, the DS charts. The console that has been selling the most consoles and games for months on end. Pokemon Ranger up top, no suprise really as Pokemon always sell. Good to see New Super Mario Bros still up there after the months.

Gears of war at the top of the list is a no-brainer after the news that it sold over 2 million copies in 24 days.


Zelda at the top, again. Rayman is right up there, wasn't expecting that even though I bought it.

The Legend Of Zelda:Twilight Princess, number 1. No suprise really as it is a Zelda game after all, and was the main game at the Wii launch.

Wii Is Owning Europe

"The Wii launch figures are in for the whole of Europe, and they're...well, they're impressive. Nintendo sold 350,000 Wiis over the weekend of 8-9 December. That's two days, at 175,000 consoles a day. A lot of them went into a bag with Twilight Princess, which ended up in 240,000 homes (that's a 74% attach rate), while the Wii Play/Wii Remote bundle sold around 175,000 copies.

Those numbers are good, but the DS, the DS is going gangbusters. The DS, in a single week, sold 515,000 units, bringing the total number sold in Europe to 8.5 million."

Nintendo is doing excellent now, with the amazing success of the DS and DS Lite, and now the Wii. Nice to here Zelda had such a high attach rate-even if it wasn't such a suprising statistic.
