Round 2 (and hopefuly last) of my interim management of Sega's enamuring blunders in the US.

Anihawk, this takes FOREVER to add up! :lol

*Still no new numbers for NCAA Basketball 2003 (GC).

*No Iron Phoenix numbers as of yet

Sonic Mega Collection Plus (PS2) knocked NBA 2K2 to number 10 on the Top-10 list. It's has legs, apparently. Phantasy Star Online III finally crossed 50k, too. Not much else changed and it's a near mirror image of last month.

Sega has had no new releases since Super Monkey Ball DX. Sad indeed :-(

The rest of the stats to follow later.

 

[Die Squirrel Die]

With SMC(+) doing so well, I hope Sega consider expanding into proper collections of non-Sonic games. They must have the Megadrive to GC/PS2/Xbox porting process down to a fine art by now.

 

[GhaleonEB]

My how Sega has fallen. The first half of their 3rd party life had most of the good games, and nearly all of the hits.

BTW - what happened to Anihawk that you have to add them up? I've seen him posting lately.

He got Herpes. Shhh, we're not meant to talk about it.

 

[VerTiGo]

I always believed that all Xbox exclusive Sega games should not have been Xbox exclusive.

No handheld numbers?

I heard he had a one-night stand with Magic Johnson.

[Sho Nuff]

While I was back in America, I almost bought Virtua Quest. hahahahahahaaaa

 

[Musashi Wins!]

I always believed that all Xbox exclusive Sega games should not have been Xbox exclusive.

that's a very original opinion at this stage in GAF.

Spikeout!!! :lol

 

[jgkspsx]

I'm really tempted to pick up Virtua Quest as soon as it hits $20. I mean, a game based loosely on Virtua Fighter has got to be worth something, eh?

That's what I thought Horrid. Boring.

Sega died

 

[Hotsuma]

Spikeout!!! :lol

The first two months of sales for Spikeout were always MIA. I'm sure it will do better than Virtua Quest.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Holy crap! Anyone seen what Sega's stock is doing?

Japanese:

http://today.reuters.com/stocks/Overview.aspx?ticker=6460.t

US:

http://today.reuters.com/stocks/Overview.aspx?ticker=sgamy

I'm up over 60% on the shares I bought just over a year ago (right before the Sega-Sammy merger was announced). Investors must not read GAF!

 

[callous]

Where is Outrun 2?

 

[GhaleonEB]

Where is Outrun 2?

On the Microsoft list, silly rabbit!

 

[callous]

Someone stole it! It's gone!

As Culex pointed out, it takes FOREVER to put up. I broke my arm in a car accident last month (got in a battle with the center divider of the 210 freeway and lost), and it gets sore after a while.

 

[Oblivion]

Interesting. I did some quick adding, and I got the following:

GC: 5800K units total
PS2:6000K units total
Xbox: 4300 units total

Those aren't exact right down to the ones digit, but you get the idea. I wonder if Panzer Dragoon Orta would have done any better on the GC?

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

SEGA SUCKS..

I only want SoA 2 and Beach Spikers 2

 

[johnjohnson]

I wonder if Panzer Dragoon Orta would have done any better on the GC?

Of course it would have done better. Also HOTD3, Shenmue 2, Outrun 2, Sega GT, Toe Jam & Earl and especially JSRF would have done better on the GC. Absolutely!

Spoiler

 

[johnjohnson]

Seeing those 259,500 units of Sonic Mega Collection Plus sold on Xbox I wonder why Sega isn't milking Xbox on Sonic Gems Collection too. I'm pretty sure it would sell >100k copies on Xbox and should more then cover the expenses to make it.

 

[Yoshi]

Very good numbers for GameCube. Obviously, Sonic Mega Collection will reach a million this year and thus will be the second million seller for Sega since they are 3rd Party. Sega is simply put the most important 3rd Party for GameCube when looking at sales. There will be two million sellers by third Parties by the end of year and both will be developed and published by Sega. Looking at these numbers it's not hard to understand, why Sega is publishing Sonic Gems Collection exclusively on GameCube in the USA. Hopefully Sega won't forget it's strong results on GameCube, which are the strongest of all consoles, in spite of the weakest hardware sales, and will support Revolution strongly.
It's hard to understand, why Sega is porting GameCube games over to Xbox and PS2 but keeps all the Xbox-exclusive games exclusive. I really don't get their reasons ^^.
Ah yes: Very nice sales for Monkey Ball .

Given that Nintendo likely cut a deal for an American exclusive, and with this being Microsoft's only strong region, Sonic Team probably felt it wasn't worth the effort to convert Sonic CD/Fighters/R for Xbox. Maybe when the window's up in 6 months we'll see an Xbox release alongside the PS2 release here.

 

[Ryoh]

xbox players have some problems.. :/

 

[AirBrian]

HEY SEGA, WHERE IS SUPER MONKEY BALL 3?

 

[Fuzzy]

Revolution launch!
