Quote:Unfortunately you cannot compare the sales of PS2 games with GC ones. The PS2 userbase is ten times (not a real stat) that of the Gamecube's, so a million-seller on the GC is much more of a big deal than a million seller on the PS2. If you take into consideration Nintendo's half-assed marketing, the Gamecube's impopularity, and the Gamecube's small userbase, just under a million is still incredibly good.

Okay, you started it...

Ladies and gentlemen, I will now show why Conker's BFD should be considered the best selling game ever. (If you make me mad, I'll get out the mathematical formulas. You don't want that.)

Since Conker was released at the very tail end of the N64's life cycle, nobody paid attention. If the game had been released a couple years earlier, it would have sold much better. As it was, Conker accounted for the vast majority of sales for all N64 games released from March 2001 on. I would say 90% would be an accurate guess. Certainly this is remarkable. By extending this logic, I will now say that if Conker had been released as a launch title, it would have accounted for 90% of sales in the N64's history. I don't really know how many N64 games were sold, but it was a lot. Now, if Nintendo had advertised Conker better and the N64 was not considered a kiddy machine, this number would have been even larger. And if the N64 had the userbase of the PSX, or, gasp, the NES, it would have sold even more. Undoubtably, this makes Conker the best selling game ever.

Now why did Nintendo ditch Rare again?
