GCN METROID PRIME 53,815 Top 100 games for March - OB1 - 29th April 2003 YOWZA! That's awesome news! Zelda sold almost one million copies in just one week. Very nice! Top 100 games for March - Nintendarse - 29th April 2003 What great news. Nintendo really trumped the competition in March. 826,352 is great! As it turns out, I was more skeptical of the mainstream than I should have been (a common mistake of mine). It seems like the Zelda seal of quality sells, even if it's not the "coolest." Some of the figurines in the Nintendo Gallery of Wind Waker have hilarious commentary. Octoroks get the PERFECT ATTENDANCE AWARD. Even funnier, Carlov's figurine (Carlov is the figurine maker) has commentary to the effect of, "Athough some people are disappointed that Carlov hasn't done anything 'cool' with the figurine club in a while, it's all okay while Link is around!" Top 100 games for March - OB1 - 29th April 2003 I told you guys it would sell well. Everyone was like "no wAy! cartoons is for teh babesie OMG!!! W@00!111". Top 100 games for March - A Black Falcon - 29th April 2003 I guess 'its Zelda' > 'it looks dumb' after all... its good news. It won't change my opinion of mainstream gamers, though. :) Top 100 games for March - EdenMaster - 29th April 2003 Quote:Originally posted by Great Rumbler You know why that is? People probably bought GameCubes to play Zelda, and decided to buy the newly $30 Melee too. Or maybe not, who knows? Top 100 games for March - Nintendarse - 29th April 2003 Here's another wacky occurence: 23. PS2 NFL 2K3 73,849 82. PS2 MADDEN NFL 2003 30,971 There seems to be a lot of wierd stuff going on. 2k3 Outsells Madden, Prime outsells Splinter Cell, and SSB outsells Halo. CRAZY! To be slightly based in reality, the total sales of Madden, Splinter Cell, and Halo are signficantly higher than 2k3, MP, and SSB (respectively), but that doesn't mean we can't celebrate! Top 100 games for March - Great Rumbler - 29th April 2003 Quote:Originally posted by Nintendarse Exactly. :) Top 100 games for March - Private Hudson - 30th April 2003 It's a pity that The XBox still outsold the GCN.. Though, Zelda had only been out for a week, perhaps it's impact will be larger in April. Top 100 games for March - Darunia - 30th April 2003 Wow...what shocks me the most is that Star Fox Adventures is still in the top 100! Rare's GC entry did make some headway afterwall...too bad it'll be the only one. :( Woo-hoo, go Wind Waker!! Still...out of 100 titles, only 4 were GC...and that does say an awful lot. Top 100 games for March - Nintendarse - 2nd May 2003 From GAF (sonycowboy): March Hardware Numbers (CSFB) The March CSFB report states that: US Hardware Sell Through 128-bit hardware sales were up 21% year over year. Sony's PS2 unit sales in March were down 16% sequentially, but up 13% year over year. Microsoft's Xbox unit sales in March were down 17% sequentially, but up 20% year over year. Nintendo GCN unit sales in March were flat sequentially, and up 48% year over year. Nintendo GBA unit sales in March were up 188% sequentially, and up 61% year over year. So using the Febr totals and the sequential percentage changes: PS2: 488,934 * .84 = 410,704 XBox: 198,531 * .83 = 164,780 GC: 165,417 (flat) = 165,417 GBA: 291,112 * 2.88 = 838,402 Or, using the Feb totals and the year over year percentage changes: PS2: 362,408 * 1.13 = 409,521 Xbox: 136,388 * 1.20 = 163,665 GC: 111,236 * 1.48 = 164,629 GBA: 504,684 * 1.61 = 812,541 So, as you can see these percentages actually make sense. GBA >> PS2 >> GC = Xbox The reported values confirm each other mathematically, which is good news. So the Best Buy estimate was incorrect after all! It was quite accurate for the holiday season, so I don't know what made it underestimate GC sales for March. My only guess is that Best Buy doesn't sell to the traditional "Nintendo" market, so Toys R Us and similar stores had disproportionate increases in GC sales around the release of a traditional Nintendo game. In comprison, Metroid Prime was selling more to a new audience, so the Best Buy numbers were in proportion. I'm pleasantly surprised once again! |
