LOL @ capcom. THeir office manager is no doubt quivering in his/her boots. All that time for the port + dante and this?! They might have to rethink this port policy or this belief that their games aren't performing on the Cube. Next up... more Street Fighter and Megaman games.

:yawn:

LOL @ doro numbers and OUTBreak numbers. Online is KING!!!

Ok...so I guess most gamers in Japan don't like Viewtiful Joe. That solves that mystery. Now my question is why bother making a tv show off a game that hasn't sold that well on two systems? Was it just his personality? He is a great character, but not that popular by the looks of it.

Joe managed around 70-80k total on GameCube in Japan... that's not too bad actually considering it's budget, genre, platform and the marketplace.

Thats true, I guess I just expect more from such an awesome game. I can't lie and say I'm not disappointed...I thought for sure the PS2 version would get some nice sales. :(

good for them (the PS2 userbase) cause this was nothing more than an attempt to salvage the poor sales of a GC game

Damn, so Spike only shipped around 40,000 copies of KOC II? That explains why almost every online retailer has it on backorder and expect another shipment in a week.

Now I know why my order says "Ships in 7-14 days".

I wonder how many people bought Biohazard just for the DMC 3 demo

p.s. DMC3 demo is pretty hawt

I'm actually rather impressed with that Dororo number, poor sales percentage aside. It will probably do about 42k or so its first week and just might end up around 100k... a level I was certainly not expecting for it.

seems like shops ordered in unwarranted amounts of dororo, however.
wonder why?

I'm guessing because it's based on a famous manga that a lot of people are familiar with.

I was up until 5am last night playing it and while the game has serious hit detection, shoddy camera issues it's actually the most fun I've had with a Sega game in a while. The story and presentation are way above Sega's usual budget level...I guess they got everyone to work cheaply :p
