Nintendo may be still having trouble with sale of their Nintendo GameCube, but their Nintendo DS is sure helping a lot to offset that problem, according to the top 100 sales charts for the first half of fiscal year 2006 (March 28-October 4), as reported in the latest issue of Famitsu.
While the PlayStation 2 took more spots in the chart than all other systems (including the number one spot with Konami’s World Soccer Winning Eleven 9 (884,130 units sold)), some high profile Nintendo games managed to make their way to respectable positions in the chart.
Nintendo’s hit puppy simulator Nintendogs took second place by selling 697,940 copies, followed closely by the surprise hit Nou o Kitaeru Otona no DS Training (615,074 units sold), a puzzle game intended to enhance brain activity in adults which has proven to be quite popular. Another brain-training DS game, Yawaraka Atama-Juku, ranked sixth (531,750 units sold), while the handheld’s Shonen Jump character melee royale Jump Super Stars sneaked in to the top 10 with 375,745 copies sold.
Overall, the PS2 had the most entrants into the top 100, with 57 games, followed by 17 games for the DS, 12 Game Boy Advance titles, 8 PSP games, and a half-dozen GameCube releases. No Xbox or PSOne games managed to make it into the top 100. *helo!
