Quote:Namco shipped over 1.6 million units on the first day of Soul Calibur II at retail for GCN, PS2, and Xbox. (Shipping, of course, is not the same as selling.) "The release of Soul Calibur II marks a monumental moment in Namco's already rich video game history," said Namco's Chief Financial Officer, Robert Ennis. "Never before has a Namco title sold as well in its U.S. debut and we hope that this is just a glimpse at what is to come for the 'Soul' franchise." Read our Soul Calibur II review here.
The GameCube version has been outselling the PS2 and Xbox version thanks to the inclusion of our favorite hero, Link, to the fighter's lineup as well as heavy advertising.
Quote:In our news update yesterday about Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, neither Konami nor Silicon Knights said that they had delayed the game as rumored. But today EBGames is showing a new date of March 5th, 2004 instead of the initial date of November. The MGS game we have been awaiting for since the N64 may have to wait a few months longer. Recently EBGames put up a new date for Pikmin 2 and it turned out to be true, so we wait again for confirmation.
That would definitely hurt sales of the game not to mention the fact that I don't want to wait an additional 4 months for the game!!
