From nintendojo.com. I'll underline all of the games that sold more than Metroid Prime in December.
Good lord almighty. I can't believe these figures. Look at all of those shitty PS2 games that outsold Metroid Prime. Splinter Cell sold almost twice as many units than Prime in December. There were almost twice as many X-Boxes sold in December than Gamecubes, and now the X-Box has a million unit lead over the GC in Nortth America.
Can you imagine what's going to happen if Nintendo doesn't release their next console at the same time as the PS3 and X-Box 2? They're dead! There is no way around it.
