Unfortunately it'll also likelybe the only XBox franchise to pass 2 million, meanwhile GC sales seem to be more spread out among top sellers, with Mario, Mario Kart, Smash Bros & Zelda all guaranteed to pass the 2 million mark.DJ Demon J said:So Halo, if it's lucky, may clear 4 to 4.5 million when all is said and done? Not bad considering the Xbox's weak userbase.
What would Mario Sunshine's sales have to do with decisions on Zelda? Also, those SMS numbers should get a 600k+ boost from the bundle.DJ Demon J said:SMS's numbers should be very disturbing for Nintendo, and hopefully a big wake-up call (which I think they may have finally reacted to given Miyamoto's unveiling of Realistic Zelda).
Safe to say, the effects would've most likely been negligible.DJ Demon J said:Good to see MKD doing very well (even though I think it's the worst MK yet)...imagine what online gameplay would have done to sales.
DC was around 6 million worldwide when Sega pulled the plug. We took a look at the numbers on the last forum and in actuality, GC & XBox have consistantly outperformed DC in every region since launch (except XBox in Japan). It's very unlikely DC had a higher attatch ratio at any comparative point in it's lifecycle over the current consoles either, in fact Vic Irealnd blamed the low DC attatch ratio for not having Working Designs publish on the platform (Puyo Puyoon was rumored to be their first game).---- said:It's pretty amazing how well the Dreamcast stacks up to the other systems after 31 months even though the system was basically pulled out of production after only 18 months. If Sega hadn't been in such poor condition and running such a sloppy business the system likely would have been the 2nd most successful console of this generation. If you compare the first 18 months you'd probably see that the DC had a much higher attach ratio than any of the other consoles including the PS2, and that it outsold the GC and Xbox worldwide in that time frame. A company that could hold onto it's 3rd party developers could have ridden that success into the #2 slot this generation. The Dreamcast and the Genesis are the only reasons I can understand why Microsoft wants to be first next generation so badly.

We probably won't get any of these numbers as they are American-traded companies. Not clear on the reasoning behind that, but I have yet to see EA or Activision numbers outside of Top Tens.bishoptl said:Any THQ or EA numbers out there?

DJ Demon J said:Splinter Cell? Ninja Gaiden? I'm sure there will be a few more Xbox games crossing 2 million before the console is dead. Nice damage control though.
The point about SMS and realistic Zelda I was trying to make is that perhaps Nintendo has realized that the rest of us (read: non-Nintendo fanboys) want new shit, and not rehashed old shit (*cough* Classic NES series I'm looking directly at you). Hence, perhaps the new, mature take on Zelda (no, Celda does not count as it's kiddy) may mean that Nintendo is going to try and reinject their most beloved franchises with a little nitro. Or not. Regardless, a marquee, industry-making character like Mario selling less than 2 million in a year and a half is shocking. Not quite as quick a drop as Ms. Lara Croft, but still....
And bundle sales shouldn't count (nor should they count for Halo or any other bundle game) IMHO.
Shoryuken said:I think your trolling skills are a little off. You say that "no one" wants Nintendo's rehashed franchises yet last year 4 of the top 10 games sold in the US were Nintendo games and from usually named "rehashed" franchises. And take a guess what is the number 1 selling game so far this year (..hint it isn't Ninja Gaiden). That's right it's that game from one of the most "rehashed franchises" in recent years, Pokemon Colloseum. Lastly if no one wants Nintendo's rehashed games why is it that they are consistently the number 2 publisher in the US? The only company they trail is EA, which as far as sales go no video game company can touch right now.
AniHawk said:You know the statement, "don't feed the trolls?" It means DON'T respond, and you won't have to deal with them again. He's not gonna just sit down and say, "Oh, you're right, Shory. What was I thinking?" He'll just find something else which he knows that will piss you off to argue because he enjoys it.

DJ Demon J said:No, read again, I said "the rest of us (read: non-Nintendo fanboys)." Do I dispute that Nintendo is brilliant at forcing rehashed shit down kids and brainwashed fanboys' throats? Not at all--the rest of the industry could take lessons on how to squeeze every last profit out of the same brand/IP.
However, aside from Pokemon (and maybe even this is beginning to slow), the majority of their IP isn't selling as much as it used to....hence my comments that maybe Nintendo has begun to reinvent certain franchises (Metroid Prime is probably the best example--Nintendo could have done 3D side scroller but instead went FPS) in order to drive higher sales to reach heights they used to reach and perhaps sell consoles like they used to be able to...

TheGreenGiant said:is that lifetime sales. I'm guessing so because of the halo numbers. Some of the sales numbers are plain shocking.
a) we're never going to see Shenmue 3. Blinx outsold the epic. :O
b) rsc2.. :face shock:
c) pgr2 :face shock:
d) amped2 :face shock:
what does that say about the power of the xbox launch lineup. Their sales really nosedived on return. Can we get a listing for Nintendo?
