January 2003 Sales

The full list is finally out. Some of the intro dates are messed up (Oct-03). They also include hardware sales.

Mario Sunshine sold 1.53 million if you count the bundle.

nolimit:  I added up the four different packages and came up with 3.5 million, which sounds about right.  The XBox is listed twice (once for the bundle package [about 1.7 mil.], once for stand-alone [about 3 mil.]):  Total 4.735 million.  Just the same as already reported.

Speaking of which, I forgot to thank Mingnesium for providing the list.  Ever since I got my grubby little mitts on the November 2002 list, I've beome a hopeless junkie for TRST lists.

Does anyone else think it to be sad that Conker's Bad Fur Day outsold Eternal Darkness in January?

That's just ridiculous.

Well the average price of Conkers Bad Fur Day was $11.35. I think that had something to do with it but I concur it is a bit sad.

NHL2K3 has sold 4000-odd on GCN. In January it sold a mere 16 copies more than NHL 2001 on PS2.

No wonder they're cancelling them.

I find it odd that Hey You Pikacho outsold Top Gun. Comforting that Bloody Roar outsold Hooters Road Trip in January though(750 & 765 if you don't believe it. Of course these are if I read it right.

Does anyone know a good chart to compare PC software sales?  Would be interesting to see how PC games fared this year as well.

Actually, I'd be interested in a PC sales chart too.
Then I could laugh at the low sales and go "ahh, so many pirates"

The numbers for Feb. comes out in a couple of weeks maybe more. Thats why I kept this a general thread so I could post the numbers when they came out.

So far, I heard good things about GameCube in Feb. The bundle seems to be a success. GameCube should be close to or above the XBox in hardware sales. They are counting the free game in the bundle as sold, so expect Metroid Prime to be in the top 10.

i'd also like to see PC sales in there too. that'd be some interesting info, seeing how unreal tournament does against console games.

After looking at these numbers, I know if I owned a 3rd party software development company I would NOT make any games for the Gamecube. It just isnt worth the risk, the cost or the time.

the thing with the cube is that it accepts exclusives well, but not mulitconsole games....if i was a 3rd party developer, i would port everything every where, but have a few games that were exclusive for ps2 and gc. there arent many xbox exclusives that have sold that great, thats why they always get ported. well i would probably make a game where u get to see boobs for xbox and kill them after seeing their boobs.....this way u get the nudity and senseless violence all in one.....a game like that would rule the xbox
