January Console/Game Sales
Scyth3r:
It was January. What great games came out for the Gamecube? None I believe, so I don't see why peopel would want to buy a GC at that time.
And then the informed people waited till February for the free game deal.
Take sales number for one specific month... say March when Zelda comes out and we'll see how the numbers go.
Perfect Cell:
Skies of Arcadia did, and Skies wasnt even on the list While MEDIOCRE games that get bashed by reviewers like The Getaway and Devil May Cry 2 make the list? What is F'n Wrong with people?
Im hoping this stuff gets to Nintendo so they can know that they are not alright. They need to get it in gear! Crap like this always worries me!

jarob:
Like Perfect Cell said, 'Skies of Arcada' came out and it is not on this list at all. Why would Sega make Skies 2 for GameCube? Very depressing this list. Metroid should still be on there at least!
FFantasyFX:
Jarob: Skies of Arcadia was out for 2-3 days in January and managed to sell about 20,000 copies. I'm actually encouraged by the early results. Like it or not, you'll have to wait until the February NPD data comes out before any solid determination can be made about Arcadia's commercial success or lack thereof.
Anyway the January stats are a rather disheartening but logical extension of the unexpected thrashing that Nintendo took this holiday season. Hopefully, the free game offer and the Zelda bonus disk promotion will give Nintendo some momentum in February and March.
