Wow, I knew the free game promotion was working but a 103% increase! This is great, as stated earlier lets hope the momentum keeps up. Also I'm impressed with the sales of Skies of Arcadia Legend, throw in the January sales and Skies has sold 44,574 copies, if this keeps up Skies 2 will definately hit Gamecube.

An era has ended! For the first time in 7 years, a PSX game wasnt in the top 25 all formats chart

And Nintend0wned, damn i hope they do a lot better in March. I wonder which console will be the first to detrone PS2 in hardware for a month? Could Gamecube possibly do it with Zelda? Or Mario Kart? Pokemon? Fzero? Final Fantasy? Metal Gear Solid? Only time will tell.....

Darc Requiem · « **Reply #27 on:** March 24, 2003, 04:08:31 PM »

I'm personally looking forward to the March sales numbers. I want to see if Nintendo's momentum will carry through. I'm also hoping that Skies of Arcadia Legends continues to be in the GCs top ten selling games. I'm almost positive that Zelda will be the top selling game next month just based on preorders alone. 600k and counting. I never would have guess that Wind Wakers US presales would be higher than its Japanese sales. I expected it to sell much better in Japan than it would in the states....who would of thunk it. Oh and does anyone have an idea of RE0's overall sales thus far? Has it reached 400k yet?

Darc Requiem: Nope, Resident Evil 0 is only up to 270k so far . . .

Darc Requiem · « **Reply #29 on:** March 25, 2003, 09:45:34 AM »

Seriously....its better than the RE1 IMO. Well I'm sure that the numbers will increase thanks to the free game promotion. Gamers maybe getting it for free but someone, Nintendo, has to pay for the game

February Hardware Sales
PS2: 484,000 (+8% over January sales)
XBOX: 197,000 (+20%)
GCN: 164,000 (+103%)
GBA: 282,000 (+6%)

Cumulative Installed Base
PS2: 16,802,000
XBOX: 4,962,000
GCN: 3,828,000
GBA: 12,441,000

Let's do some quick math.

Nintendo just said GameCube hardware sales are up 20% (presumably meaning "March sales" compared to "February sales"), thanks to Zelda.

That would put it's sales at about... 197 thousand for March.

Interesting figure, isn't it?

Darc Requiem · « **Reply #31 on:** April 09, 2003, 03:30:35 PM »

Yeah that is an interesting figure. A twenty percent increase would be put GC sales at 196,400 for the month of March. I wonder what PS2 and X-box sales were from the month of March. We can already assume that Zelda is by far the best selling game for the month overall. I wonder how well Skies of Arcadia sold last month.....

1424
GCN - WHIRL TOUR
Released: Nov-02
CRAVE ENTERTAINMENT
January '03 Sales: 54
Sales Overall: 181

So overall it hasn't even made $10,000 in sales over a period of 2 months. Sad.

Would that "other forum" be Gaming-age? Ehehe, can you guess who i am...

Anyway, if you guys think that GC got anywhere near xbox in sales in march then your wrong, just wait and see. Nintendo's gonna need something bigger than zelda (

is that even possible?) to even outsell the xbox for a month, let alone outsell the ps2 EVER! Of course Wind Waker will be the number one game, but that because everyone who already owns a GC bought it. Nintendo is going downhill FAST, but i dont care now because i know Nintendo will never stop making games *Starts playing his Gamecube*...

Darc Requiem · « **Reply #34 on:** April 10, 2003, 05:33:45 AM »

I disagree Mario. I think Nintendo will equal and possibly surpass X-box sales in March. Will it catch PS2....no. But Zelda along with the free game promotion should get the GC on equal footing with the X-Box for the month. As for April, we can only guess at this point but with all the nice titles hitting recently I wouldn't be surprised if sales stayed high. I know my GC is personally driving me to backruptcy recently LOL. Be careful what you wish for...during the N64 days I wanted better third party support and I've got it with GC....and now I'm BROKE!

Where are the march sales figures anyway im dieing to see how nintendo went.

Mario · « **Reply #36 on:** April 13, 2003, 08:09:01 PM »

Mario's March prediction:

PS2 - 380,000
Xbox - 200,000
Cube - 140,000

FFantasyFX · « **Reply #37 on:** April 14, 2003, 02:20:44 AM »

Since Nintendo has already revealed that their March sales were 20% higher than February sales, I confidently predict that Mario's March predictions will be wrong.

Nintendo is going to end up selling a little less than 200,000 GCs in March . . . that doesn't necessarily mean that they will beat out XBox however. XBox sales didn't remain static for the month of March, and unless sales were less in March than they were in February (highly unlikely), Nintendo didn't overtake Microsoft for the month.

WesDawg · « **Reply #38 on:** April 14, 2003, 12:34:39 PM »

Theres a pretty interesting thread about sales gonig on at Nintendojo. I'm curious if anyone here really understands this stuff. For instance, they claim that Ninty has sold something like 9.2 million GC's since its launch, and that the recent reports that they had missed their 10 million mark by 45% were an exageration. So the question is, I guess, was the 10 million unit mark a goal for just this past fiscal year, or for total sales up until now. If its the former, the Ninty's predictions aren't as bad as they look.

There's also these stats, or analyst predictions or something with XBox sales at around 8 million worldwide right now, a little below M$'s projected 9 milion mark. I'm not sure if those are numbers just from this past fiscal year or total sales either. Anyways, its funny how easy it is to confuse people with numbers. If anyone can clear stuff up, it'd be interesting... to me at least.

Mingesium · « **Reply #39 on:** April 14, 2003, 12:43:32 PM »

The analyst say it was 10 million for the fiscal year. Nintendo hasn't said anything so I assume it was fiscal year. Nintendo has shipped 9.4 million consoles total as of March 2003.

Microsoft said they forcast 9 million total as of June 2003. (They just announce it is total units and not fiscal year. I don't know if they changed it so the numbers would look good). They shipped 8 million as of Dec 2002.

Where are the sales figures for march? I want to know how much WW sold!

Mingesium · « **Reply #41 on:** April 24, 2003, 07:01:43 AM »

The March figures were delay for some reason. Expect numbers to come out in a week.

knicksben · « **Reply #42 on:** April 24, 2003, 08:56:37 AM »

Wow, GC was outsold by PS1. (In total GC sold 78,906 to PS1's 81,616) I guess we can't make fun of Xbox in Japan anymore.

Where are you getting your numbers? According to Media Crate the GC sold 6,900 units last week the PS1 sold 1,100 units and the X-box sold 1,200 units.

Uh can I have a link to those sales numbers please? Thanks in advance.

Ninja X · « **Reply #47 on:** April 29, 2003, 09:54:07 AM »

Zelda and Pokemon rocked March. And Star Fox Adventures did not sell 27,000 copies. I think you meant 17,000 copies.

Mingesium · « **Reply #48 on:** April 29, 2003, 10:18:00 AM »

the order is based on money made. Star Fox sold 27,000, but 10,000 were from the free bundle deal.

Ninja X · « **Reply #49 on:** April 29, 2003, 02:44:34 PM »

Interesting.
