Mr. WikipediaSpamBot

I thought I would continue this here for those who are interested in this information. Since NPD has tightned down though I might not be able to get as many #'s as I used to be able to. Take a look at the lack of PS2 titles, 9 of the 10 games are for Nintendo's systems.

Sales of the top 100 titles totaled 831,942 units, 83.31% of last week’s total and 63.91% of the weekly average. Although total sales were lower than those of the previous week, the results were an improvement on those for the same period the previous year (777,482 units), and it would appear that the software market is making a modest recovery.

Fourteen new releases took spots in the top 100, accounting for 19.52% of sales. Although “Super Mario Strikers� (which sold approximately 74,000 units) and “Resident Evil: Deadly Silence� (approximately 20,000 units) performed comparatively strongly, few other titles stood out, and a group of Christmas and New Year standard titles continued to drive the market.

Sales of the top100 titles totaled 1,777,440 units, 213.65% of last week's total and 125.11% of the weekly average. Twenty new releases took top spots in the top 100, accounting for 62.82% of sales. "Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-" was ranked number one, with sales of approximately 392,000 units, while "English Training DS" and "Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams" also performed strongly, both selling over 100,000 units. The launch of a large number of new titles such as "Ar tonelico" and "Bleach DS" also stimulated the market.

Sales of "English Training DS" were approximately 242,000 units. Although there is a strong educational element to the game, sales have been strong from the very beginning, perhaps due to the large number of people who wish to learn English in a relaxed, informal way. Following on from "Brain Age" and "Gentle Brain Exercises", its performance as a standard title will be closely followed.
