Overall, it seems SPM interest is down in Japan, sort of the same turn Legend of Zelda: TP took earlier this year. What's uplifting is where the game stands in America, though some may argue that the competition is scarce. SPM hasn't been released in the UK, but WWSM still stands strong in the top 5. Okay, moving onto the DS sales....

2. Pokemon Pearl
3. Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day (http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/games/brainage)

2. Nintendogs: Lab & Friends (http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/games/nintendogsl)
3. Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training (http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/games/brainage)
4. New Super Mario Bros. (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/nsmb)
5. Final Fantasy III
After looking at these, I must say I continue to be impressed by NSMB strong standing. I know I say that over and over again, but it makes me confident that Mario is still hugely popular in North America. As for Japan, the training craze continues, while the UK sort of mirrors North American trends. Fun fact: Mega Man ZX saw a jump due to a sale on Amazon.
