TOS success bodes well for BK, imo.

its good to know that NY is no longer part of the nation

At my Best Buy they had about 12 but that's the only place around that still has any left.

Neither are Washington, DC, Baltimore, other parts of Maryland and parts of PA apparently.

Fifty · Jul 24, 2004

*sigh* When will companies realize this and start putting out a few more big titles in August or any other weak month instead of stacking everything on November.

Incognito · Jul 24, 2004

Wow, all 50,000 were sold?!

SHOCK.

Doesn't that contradict what you just said?

Your numbers are a bit off. You added an extra 0. When you only ship 5K it isn't hard to sell out.

Auron · Jul 24, 2004

Why do companies still assume RPG's don't sell in the US? Just like any other genere, if it's good and gets some advertising support, it will sell. Final Fantasy VII and Pokemon changed everything.

SantaC · Jul 24, 2004

Tos is the best thing since sliced bread. Sorry i am a lil drunk.

Baten Kaitos should have been released in the summer instead.

SantaC · Jul 24, 2004

two cheers for ToS people. I raised my glass. I have a party here but somehow i made my way throught the computer rand gaming-age. People on this party saw the tos intro and theys aid wtf, thats an awesomne intro. end of story. now i gotta go.

DSN2K · Jul 24, 2004

must have shipped a little amount.

I'm guessing this too. I'm also betting that it wont indicate BK's performance.

shut up you

Obviously. They didnt advertise on TV. Missed opportunity as this will affect sales negatively.

On the plus side, this game could become rare, and worth something in the future.

fennec fox · Jul 24, 2004

With a title with as focused an audience as tos or Disgaea, it's a very slim margin between "successful sellout" and "bomb bomb".

etiolate · Jul 24, 2004

Metrosexual RPG is so fitting a term I knew every game you were talking about without naming them.

AlphaSnake · Jul 24, 2004

I agree with Lonestar and MrBob.

I agree with Genis.

Fitting.

Wario64 · Jul 25, 2004

There's no denying that Gamecube owners have been starving for a new game, besides Zelda Four Swords

KOTOR is one of the best RPGs ever, my expectations for ToS is sky high now (Judging by scores, its not as amazing as KOTOR)

im looking foward to playing this, i should have it by monday.

Maybe, but what I said is steeped in truth more than likely. Has there been ANY significant RPGs releases on the Cube lately besides FSA or Crystal Chronicles? I'm drawing blanks here myself.

what about A Wonderful Life in mid-March, that's pretty significant (enough to make Metal Gear Solid it's b*tch)...

I bet there was some cross-ownership between this and Animal Crossing...

Suikoguy · Jul 25, 2004

I can confirm this
No additional copies have been shipped, none scheduled to arrive

MegaMan Anniversary Collection did pretty well also.

edit-I wonder if Command Mission GC will outsell the PS2 version also?

IJoel · Jul 25, 2004

ToS kicks ass!

It deserves great sales.

Single Player FSA SUX though. Gah! What a boring game!

I think it will but not by much.

They're not shipping anymore?! I must secure a copy fast if so.

Fifty · Jul 25, 2004

That makes no sense. Do they not want to give it a chance at being a hit? Looks like that's the case.

bjork · Jul 25, 2004

I was at a Gamestop today, and it's still there.

jarrod · Jul 25, 2004

Probably right... most likely a 10-20k difference like MMAC.

Wario64 · Jul 25, 2004

http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product_id=220341

All 4 locations in a 10 mile radius have 0 copies, and no more units on the way...

Edit: I know some of you people are asses, so that quip about the no more shipment, how true we talking here? I was hoping to hold off on purchasing it until later.

Vargas · Jul 25, 2004

My question still stands.

NotMSRP · Jul 25, 2004

You can always buy used!

Defensor · Jul 25, 2004

Hmm, 27 stores within a 30 mile radius in my area have TOS in stock. (1-3 or 4+). What do you say to that?

dude, get real. ToS isn't going to be up for any game of the year awards come Dec. It hasn't reviewed as well as KOTOR, and just because the GC gets a decent RPG finally it's no reason to trash it's superior. Just enjoy your game without being stupid.

My zip code search is showing at least 10 copies available (a couple 4+ listings).

Yikes, someone hit a nerve!

Maybe KOTOR wasn't that fun for him -- everyone's entitled to their opinion.
