According to Enterbrain, in its first two days of sale in Japan, Pokemon Platnium sold 967,675 copies.

For comparison, it sold more in the same time period than both the recent Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest games for PSP and DS respectively (they are colossal franchises in Japan). It is also the largest single-game DS release in one sales week, even though the game had only been out for two days of that week. Only the original D/P release around this time in 2006 has sold more in a sales week (counting the combined sales of the two versions).

Seriously, DSTT? you could have gotten better, such as the Cyclo. Also, it's not a DS RAM cart, its a flash cart, ram carts are used for playing gba roms. I've had pokemon platinum in almost full english for about 3-4 months. only thing not in english is pretty much the names.

Mod/Admin, sorry if you don't want me to post links, but buying/selling flashcarts is legal, just some of a flashcarts purposes. links; www.realhotstuff.com www.dealwoot.com
I personally prefer realhotstuff, because you get your package in like 2 days after they approve it, which is normally within an hour after purchase, even if you live all the way across the US. They're located in New Jersey. If anyone has any further questions, please IM me on msn at Esjay@fantasysquare.com
