This is pretty good for Nintendo. The Brain Training games came out in May and they're both still in the top 11. Oh and in a slightly related note. A hudson developer has hinted at a mario party DS. Keep in mind I babelfished this so its going to be worded weird.

Whereas the last Mario Party 7 on GameCube left last month to Japan and the United States, it is at the time of a recent interview that Shuichiro Nishiya de Hudson Soft expressed its desire for developing new a opus series Mario Party but this time on Nintendo DS, which could be very interesting especially if the play makes it possible to clash on line.

Q: With its microphone and its two screens, Nintendo DS would be perfect to accomodate a play like Mario Party. Do you intend to carry out a title of the series on Nintendo DS?

Shuichiro Nishiya (Hudson Software): The characteristics of Nintendo DS are very gravitational for the series Mario Party. We would thus like to develop a Mario Party for Nintendo DS, as from the moment when we have an enthralling idea to bring to the concept.

Woah, the 360 only got 5000? I heard it's failing, but I didn't imagine everything would beat it.

It's good for Nintendo, and I'm interested in mario party DS, but please don't be really similar.

Go Nintendo! Looks like Nintendo DS is still dominating (hooray!!!)

Oh yeah - Japanese developers were never impressed by the 1st Xbox and they arent really impressed by the 2nd according to the show "Icons" on G4 TV.

Mario Party Advance was a total failure - I didn't like the rom of it.

I can't wait for the Mysterious Dungeon cames to be released in the US!

I have a feeling that Nintendo will always dominate the handheld market and will come back in the console market with the Revolution with dominating sales.

How much you want to be Shadowfax (Wintersnowblind) is going to post something about that in favor of the 360?

500$

Little disappointed in Mario Party being on that list. There probably working on Party 8......God I remember when 4 was out and it wasn't long ago. The first 2 were really good but went all downhill after that and became Hudsons money machine.
Figures Kingdom hearts II be on that list.
