The first choice for small childeren huh? Well, let's not get started there, because you insult me more with calling Nintendo kiddy than calling BMW bad. You seriously have no idea whatsoever you're talking about.
Anyways, here are the sales numbers for Xbox 360 in Japan last
week. It's rockin', huh? [face_plain]

A remake of Final Fantasy III sold hald a million copies (everything there was) in it's first week out, and the new Super Mario Bros (at number 2) has sold close to THREE MILLION JUST IN JAPAN since launch a few months back. Nothing on Xbox 360 comes even close, including worldwide numbers. In fact, there are 3 titles with little less or little more than 3 million copies sold for Nintendo DS in the top 10. This shows people are ready for a change, and Nintendo Wii will be just that: not just a hardware update (PS3/360), but a true next gen home console...
Top 10 games is Nintendo DS lite. Never in the history of gaming has this happened in Japan. Nintendo is rocking hard, and Wii is gaining momentum all over the world, in particular when the price will be announced (which will be low compared to the other systems)
