I don't have the actual numbers, but if you're talking this generation on consoles, I would imagine RSII for the GC would fit the bill -- I think it's just under one million.

cheers

 

[Swordian]

Awsome

Funny how BN3 sell better then BN4... but it isn't surprising

Well, BN4 did come out at the very end of the month.

 

[DSN2K]

UBI are making shit loads on those tactical shooters.

 

[Lazy8s]

Looks like licensing TV/movie shows for portable video watching has shown some potential for the videogame companies, or other content providers, with applicable IP:

GBA ALL GROWN UP VOL 1 $337,377 17,474
GBA CARTOON NTWK COL VOL1 $179,852 9,022
GBA CODENAME:KIDS VOL 1 $63,089 3,159
GBA DORA EXPLORER VOL 1 $260,741 13,467
GBA FAIRLYODD VOL 1 $618,225 31,065
GBA FAIRLYODD VOL 2 $579,356 29,112
GBA NICKTOONS COLL VOL 1 $1,022,025 51,395
GBA NINJA TURTLES VOL 1 $11,228 562
GBA SPONGEBOB VOL 1 $874,214 45,085

GBA STRAW SHORTCAKE VOL 1 $174,214 8,973
GBA YU-GI-OH! VOL 1 $26,467 1,323

And SEGA's catalog properties can contribute to their bottom line this way in addition to just game sales:

GBA SONIC X VOL 1 $475,254 23,814 (Majesco)

All Nintendo needs to do now is to release some exclusive episodes of the Pokemon cartoon like this to really launch this thing.

 

[siamesedreamer]

I appreciate it Subitai!!!

Well they're not exclusive but...

GBA POKEMON VOL 1 $476,610 24787
GBA POKEMON VOL 2 $304,757 15876

...I wonder why no other 3rd parties have jumped on the GBA Video Bandwagon? Or why Sega and Konami didn't publish Sonic X and Yu-Gi-Oh! themselves?

 

[Alcibiades]

I think Majesco holds the rights to the GBA Video technology... (and anyway, those particular game properties are licensed to other networks/kids animation studios for use in animation probably)

 

[jarrod]

Yeah, Nintendo was pretty smart setting up specific companies for IP licensing (The Pokemon Company, WarpStar Inc, etc). I wonder if they'll publish the Kirby cartoon on GBA Video also?

 

[MASB]

If the trend continues, it looks like Nintendo/Majesco scored big with Classic/GBA Video. I was really interested in seeing how the GBA Video lineup did. Some of the lesser Classic games sold better than I thought they would.

 

[jarrod]

Anihawk, where are you and your sweet LTD Nintendo lists?!

Seconded. LTD Sega sales would be great also.

GCN VIRTUA STRIKER 2002 $3,599 143

Sweet. My favourite GCN game is still selling!

Your favorite GCN game SUCKS!

 

[Alcibiades]

Here are a few I'm keeping track of (the ones I care about basically, not all of them): there may be mistakes (hopefully not)...

edit: for GCN obviously...

 

[Musashi Wins!]

UBI are making shit loads on those tactical shooters.

And they've got an expansion for Rainbow Six next month. Whew.

GC hardware is just sucking. You can hear it out your window. I wonder if RE this year would have made more of a difference come xmas. They should bundle the GBA with it already.

 

[Mega Man's Electric Sheep]

"Wind Waker - 1,476,718
Luigi - 1,411,482"


Wow. Luigi's mansion might pass wind waker in sales. I never saw this coming. This month:GCN ZELDA: THE WIND WAKER $510,474 10333
GCN LUIGI'S MANSION $560,584 31730


Even with the lower price for Luigi, notice the profit for Luigi was more too. Wind waker will get a sales boost when Nintendo finally lowers the price, but even so, I'd say Luigi has been a huge success for them. Halo always gets props for its legs, but Luigi needs props too!

Meier's in charge of those.

Anyway, I'll be back in about two-four hours for the Sega numbers. SoAL sold a lot (near 10k), so it broke 100,000. Sonic Mega Collection sold 55k, which is a ton, and SA2B is about 4k from 900k.

Soul Calibur 2 sold about 125k across all platforms this month, too. The power of price drops.

Ouch. At least Ballers is still doing well for Midway.

 

[Insertia]

Heh, I expected Xbox to begin closing the gap between PS2. Instead PS2 outsold Xbox&GC combined and then some. Guess it was a one time thing for the Box.

 

[Subitai]

bunkem, could I get Vivendi for last month?


Either way Thx.

 

[Subitai]

Atari for last month and full for this month would be nice too.

"Without Nintendo, there would be no growth"

 

[SolidSnakex]

"Without Nintendo, there would be no growth"

LMAO! That whole conference about how the GC was selling in comparison to the PS2 and Xbox was downright laughable.

 

[Mooreberg]

The first thing that came to my mind was Nintendo's E3 conference. So much for momentum...

 

[explodet]

Well, not to sound like a fanboy (probably too late ) but Nintendo has gotten more marketshare in software, thanks in part to EA's drop.

This increase, however, will immediately be erased once Madden shows up.

 

[Hellraizah]

That quote from Reggie was downright arrogant.

 

[Gchaime]

What's a YOY?

 

[explodet]

What's a YOY?

YOY = Year over Year

Basically comparing last year's figures to this year's.

 

[Deg]

Yeah the YOY June figures do refelct the price cuts this year however. Last June didnt have any significant price cut.

 

[Justin Bailey]

That quote from Reggie was downright arrogant.

He didn't say it, George Harrison did.

He didn't say it, George Harrison did.

Damn, my error. I thought I remembered it from Reggie.

COCKLES, I was waiting for you. Now where's DJ Demon J and the rest of the family ??? we must celebrate !!!!

 

[Meier]

LTD GBA numbers coming soon

 

[cvxfreak]

That quote from Reggie was downright arrogant.

Maybe he was talking about Japan.

I think they would fair well on Gamecube too (a MS Collection would rock). Discuss.

 

[JayFro]

Topspin 216k
Counter Strike 321k
Crimson Skies 315k
Ninja Gaiden 467k
Splinter Cell 2 400k


Splinter Cell 2 is a bit low but give it time, and Ninja Gaiden is doing better than I thought considering the level of difficulty. Topspin surpassed many peoples expectations and I'm surprised by Crimson Skies and Counter Strike.

 

[Drinky Crow]

Haha, Gamecube still getting rocked.

 

[cvxfreak]

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle will probably end up being the first third party GC million seller, and it hasn't even dropped to $19.99. I hope Sega does that when it does break a million, which can be as soon as this Christmas or New Years.

 

[apujanata]

To bunkum :

Can you please post the data for April 2004, Konami, and the following games :
TEENAGE MUTANT TURTLE GBA
YU-GI-OH! SACRED CARD GBA

XBX HOUSE OF THE DEAD III $186,190 9,292
GCN BILLY HATCHER $105,707 5,234

it seems for Sega, the main games that sold are the sonic ones. I was surprised that Sonic Heroes sold better on PS2 then GameCube, even though overall the Gamecube nintendo has sold the best becuase of the extra month it had.

GCN SONIC HEROES $882,513 17.936

PS2 SONIC HEROES $901,475 18,170
here is the x-box

XBX SONIC HEROES $450,389 9,052

I would like Sega to port Shinobi, Jet Set Raido Future, and Panzeer Dragoon, s we could see if the Gamecube audience would buy those titles or if they mainly buying Sonic games.

Pretty please?
