All numbers are LTD as of July '04. I don't think we will be seeing any new numbers though because someone mentioned that Acclaim was de-listed from the NPD.
Code:
Burnout

PS2 - 303,882 (50.3% of total sales)
GCN - 229,055 (37.9% of total sales)

Depends how you look at it. While the BO2 totals for XB and GC are close, the drop off from BO to BO2 on the GC is huge, while the XBox version gained sales.
Also I always wonder why people look at hard sales as indicative of a titles success. Maybe a larger proportion of the GC's sales were at a lower pricepoint. Only Criterion really know how well the title sold relative to how much it cost to develop.

The GC version was also damn near impossible to find after a few months. I had to get mine on EBay.

That doesn't really say much. It could have been hard to find 'cause lots of people wanted it, or because nobody wanted it so they didn't bother reprinting it.

LOL. They got (or are getting) delisted from NASDAQ. Has nothing to do with NPD. They won't be covered by analyst, but sales will still be tracked.

No your line is bullshit. A lot of games are great because of online, case in point Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Socom, Socom 2, counterstrike, Final Fantasy XI, Unreal 2K4, Phantasy Star Online, Diablo and many more. I don't know why you have a hate on for online gaming but you are the one missing out.
Uhh you totally missed the point... bafflingly. Not all of those games REQUIRE online gaming to be enjoyable (with the possible exception of SOCOM and obviously FFXI and Counterstrike which are online only and thusly in no way comparable) just like Burnout 3 doesn't. I havent bothered to renew my Xbox Live account because really, I see more or less no need to, but even when I do (probably after Halo 2's release), I would never consider a game good if it required me to play online to be up to snuff. If there is not a high quality single player mode or split-screen mode, I'm not interested.
And Burnout 3 has a VERY high quality single player and split-screen mode. It doesn't require online connection and claiming that a GC version shouldnt exist because online isnt as prevalent on the machine is a load of shit. And that's a fact.

You could also make the argument that certain online enabled titles will generally sell well or more copies. Is that always the case? No, but Gamecube online is pretty much a joke and they obviously didn't feel the game would sell well on the Cube anyway. Otherwise..........it's a CONSPIRACY!
Burnout 3 isn't on Gamecube because Criterion/EA figures, probably correctly, that 90%+ of the audience for the game has another system to buy it for, so they are not sacrificing any sales by dumping the third platform.
Seriously, how many racing game fans are there out there who somehow decided that a Gamnecube would be their sole gaming console?

Because Criterion didn't want it on the GC...simple.

I gotta say wipeout, that was a pretty bad post

Poor guy (if he is a big racing fan, that is)...
BO1 & 2 are good games, NFS:HP2 is terrible on anything but PS2, GC has the worst version of Underground, and SRS is not very good. The best racer on the system isn't even conventional (F-Zero).

It's not on the GC...let it go, most people here outside of a few fanboys are multi-console games...this makes no difference. This topic, the what wrong with Sega topics, and ones including people who are still pimping tired ass impressions from E3 as if it was last week and not half a year ago now need to go.
