Does anyone have links to pages that list the number of units sold for various GBA games?

It would be interesting to see how well each game has sold but Im not sure all those figures are available to the public.
I was quite amazed at this quote found on nintendo.com though:

I guess that is world-wide but still....

Various ELSPA charts (top 20) are available at:
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/charts.php
800,000 DSs. Do you think the shortages were rumours or really true?

500,000 DS's the last week. 800,000 GBA/GBA SP's
I cant find any sales figures on that website, only their rank. Am I not looking hard enough?

I have worked in the end user shops (both GAME & an indie) most people only buy one game with there AGB and then just have a "quick blast" on it. Untill something they really want comes out or they finsh the game they got with the machine.
OK, xmas brings sales thru the roof on all machine (inc. AGB) because people want nice new gifts and games are good for that, a gift they can use for the year ahead.

The Magic-Box have the latest figures at http://www.the-magicbox.com/charts.htm but only from the top lists.
There is a company who can provide gamecharts from 1992 uptil now, but a membership costs money. You can visit their site at http://www.m-create.com

How well does a game have to do to sell 50k units? How much do developers typically make per unit?

I guess selling 50k units could mean that the game is "doing well" - but only if your production costs are ?2 and the retail price is ?29.99.
If each game is costing ?28 to produce, and you're selling it at ?29, the game isn't doing so well.....
