Following the October report from the NPD Group, Nintendo sent out their routine press release before returning to business as usual. Anything worth freaking out about? Not really. Anything worth mentioning? Plenty!

The Wii’s 800,000+ in the US last month brought Wii totals in the country to 13.35 million units sold, while the nearly half a million DS Lite and Nintendo DS units sold lifted the platform to over 23 million units sold in the States. Wii Fit, which also sold almost half a million last month, saw its total climb to 2.83 million copies sold. More after the break!

Since the game was available to Japanese gamers mere days ago, the title has moved 967,675 units. Even though Platinum is the third iteration of the current version of the series (along with Diamond and Pearl), the sales didn’t seem to suffer.

Capcom released a pile of financial results and sales figures, and hidden somewhere in the back, behind the relish and bottle of v8, were the numbers that Okami managed to churn up on the Wii.

Sadly, 280,000 copies are all that have landed in gamer’s laps in North America and Europe. Was it too late? Is Okami just too hard? Is the style of the game not suited for the Wii audience? All I know is that I bought it. *wipes sweat off forehead*

Dragon Quest V has been doing that thing it does since it’s release in Japan on the 17th of July. In just a few short weeks it soared past the million mark, leaving even the Oneders in the dust. I know that may be hard to believe, but trust me on this one. Eager gamers in the US will have to wait a few more months to get their paws on it, as the series of remakes will make an appearance starting in September.
