The preview should be out later today or tomorrow and I'll post the 2nd monthly NPD prediction thread then (of which I won the 1st ). To get you in the mood, here is a summary listing of games sold by publisher for the current generation consoles (PS2, GCN, XBX). If I have the time tomorrow, I'll post the same listing on a per console basis.

thanks

Sa.?

I wonder what Nintendo's stats would look like with GBA software included...aren't they the #2 software publisher (behind EA) in terms of marketshare?

I think they're #2 in the US and #1 worldwide, yeah.

How convienent.

 

[Deg]

My advice is to ignore charts posted by Sonycowboy. The last one he did had far too many errors. He even missed out Splinter Cell Xbox in that.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Take 2 has 82 games this gen?!

 

[AirBrian]

Take 2 has 82 games this gen?!

I thought the same thing. I'd assume that would cover Gotham Games and other developers they published...?

 

[Deku Tree]

Nintendo Averages 500k per title? That's sick.

 

[sonycowboy]

My advice is to ignore charts posted by Sonycowboy. The last one he did had far too many errors. He even missed out Splinter Cell Xbox in that.

NPD changed the title for Splinter Cell from T. Clancy Splinter to T.Clancy Splinter (removing a space, so my database did not match the two) and since those two titles did not have any sales for June, they didn't get included. They were the only titles affected.

Splinter Cell is included in this summary.

Please find another error or apologize for the far too many errors comment or, at least acknowledge that you were talking out your arse and found no other errors.

 

[sonycowboy]

How convienent.

I would love to have a valid GBA database and it would cause Nintendo and THQ's market share to go way up.

Square Enix is doing even better! 584,713!

Square Enix is doing even better! 584,713!

Yeah but 32 titles is alot more than 10.

 

[human5892]

Nintendo Averages 500k per title? That's sick.

I bet with GBA sales included, it would be even higher (think of the SMB ports alone).

 

[Kobun Heat]

That is a lot of crap.

"EIGHTY-FIVE GAMES? I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD STACK SHIT THAT HIGH!"

 

[Ranger X]

damn Electronic Arts... they could have their own console and and be alone at making games for it lol

I think they're #2 in the US and #1 worldwide, yeah.

Number 2 worldwide. They were #1 last gen (in both US and worldwide).

Going by sales per title, it makes you wonder by Ubisoft is still bothering with the GameCube at all, and why Sega isn't giving much more love.

It likely partially because UbiSoft is brimming with Nintendo fans... most 3rd parties out there actually want to see Nintendo stay in hardware for various reasons.

As for Sega... jealousy perhaps?

Wow, EA is practically in a league of their own. That's just crazy numbers.

 

[Jumpman]

That's interesting, Sega's per title average is higher on GCN than on PS2, and nearly double that of Xbox.
