How imaginative! Another adventure of a green goblin trying to save a dimwitted princess who keeps flirting a big monster dinosaur.
Link, wake up! Zelda hasn't been abducted by the villain. She left you for someone with bigger muscles.

I live in japan!

Gaming really is for EVERYONE here.
Not because the japanese are so into games.
Only because nobody talks to eachother in public or shows any signs of individuality, so they escape into their cell phones and ds lite's which must all be silent in public places anyway.

So yes, most of the country has a DS, and yes, everything will go apecrazy over zelda because, yes. :amazing

That number sounds about right. But keep in mind that those are worldwide sales, and these Phantom Hourglass sales numbers are only for Japan.
