damn nintendo pretty much dominated this week and its good to see that some ds games are still selling well. Now some more new releases in america would be nice...

I'm still amazed that the DSi still sells ..... I mean it's the same price as the 3DS which is retro compatible ^^

:-0 at 3DS.

Also, there are a lot of Wii games for a dead console.

The is finally showing its age a week before being suceeded. Only one game in the top 20, despite healthy hardware sales.
