Talk:List of best-selling Nintendo DS video games

Dragon Quest V
According to Kotaku, Square Enix reported sales of 1.19m. Our current reference from Dengeki says 1.22m. What do we do? -- ReyBrujo (talk) 18:00, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Kotaku is just a blog (a generally reliable blog, but still just a blog) and provide no actual link for us to check. They say it's from Square Enix, but don't provide a link or something to prove it. Dengeki is a reliable source, so I would say stick with the current confirmed data unless someone finds this report from SE.  TJ   Spyke   18:06, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * You mean this report? Rhonin the wizard (talk) 18:11, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes. What to do though. SE says they shipped 1.19 million, but another reliable source says the game sold about 1.22 million in the same period.  TJ   Spyke   18:16, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * There can't be more games sold to consumers than games shipped to retailers. Dengeki made a mistake, it's not easy to track sales numbers. Rhonin the wizard (talk) 18:21, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe SE just under reported their shipment numbers? I guess it's better to play it safe and go with SE's own internal number.  TJ   Spyke   18:22, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it's illegal for companies to lie in financial reports. Rhonin the wizard (talk) 18:28, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, of course it is illegal :) I always say never trust what CEOs say unless it is an earning release. -- ReyBrujo (talk) 19:21, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I know Kotaku is a blog, and usually don't quote them, but they were talking about an earnings release, which is pretty much noticeable. I was going to quote Gamasutra, which is running the story on top of Kotaku, but I always try to dig digger. -- ReyBrujo (talk) 19:28, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Million seller update
According to the latest update, we are missing around half the million sellers of the console. There should be 83 games in this list. -- ReyBrujo (talk) 20:15, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Did you write the wrong link? The only mention of the DS there is a reader saying they enjoy the DS.  TJ   Spyke   20:45, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * According to a newer press release by Nintendo, there are 83 DS games whose shipments have exceeded a million units. Rhonin the wizard (talk) 20:59, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oops, you are right. Fixed it. Apparently I messed the clipboard with a blog url instead of an article one. It basically picks the information from the Nintendo Press site (the press site usually takes the news down after six months as much). -- ReyBrujo (talk) 00:42, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, sadly we will probably not be able to find out about them all. As you know, sales/shipment info is hard to come by (especially for those games which just BARELY crack the 1 million mark). Great to see the DS become the third system to ship 100 million (I know Nintendo combines Game Boy and Game Boy Color, and I doubt either one individually hit 100 million).

45 First-party / 63 Third-party Million Sellers
Just some info to help this list. At Nintendo's Media Summit today it was announced that 45 first-party and 63 third-party games have sold over 1 million copies. -Zomic13 (talk) 18:49, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
