Crap, Battalion Wars is a great game, and only sold 16k copies in its first month. Hopefully it gets some good holliday sales. It should have sold 160k, not 16k. Oh well, and nintendo gamers wonder why we dont get good 3rd party support.

Artimus · « **Reply #580 on:** October 21, 2005, 07:24:23 PM »

I'd love to try Batallion Wars but I can't afford any more games! Especially at $60 a pop.

Renny · « **Reply #581 on:** October 21, 2005, 09:42:05 PM »

I'm in the same boat, Artimus. And it reeks of old fish. Someone buy us all the games we want, OK?

The GBA numbers should not include the GBM numbers imo. Can Micro play old GB games? Does it have a flip-top screen? They aren't the same system.

My GBA doesn't have a flip-top screen either. Is it a different system too?

They're all variations of the GameBoy Advance.

Batallion Wars is doing well on that side of the pond...

Mario · « **Reply #588 on:** November 02, 2005, 03:08:12 PM »

I don't think that's well at all, hopefully it'll have some legs, it is a Nintendo title after all.

kirby_killer_dedede · « **Reply #589 on:** November 03, 2005, 02:31:38 AM »

I suppose the numbers aren't spectacular but if they're good enough to get it 3rd place I think it's good enough.

joeposh · « **Reply #590 on:** November 03, 2005, 06:47:48 AM »

That's much better than it's done in the States thus far.. and you also have to consider the fact that the last few entries in the Advanced Wars series have pretty much bombed in Japan. So even though this isn't a "traditional" AW title, those numbers are great by comparison (especially for the Cube).

Nintendo title with no mario/pokemon = no sales.

PSP-1,513,242/ 1,995,504

Sales of the top 100 titles totaled 591,538 units, 88.19% of last week's total and 78.94% of the weekly average.

Fifteen new releases took spots in the top 100, accounting for 40.31% of sales. Top-ranked "Daito Giken Official Pachinko Slot Simulator: Osu! Bancho" sold approximately 96,000 units. In terms of pachinko slot machine titles launched in 2005, the game's sales performance followed that of "Pachinko Slot! Fist of the North Star Plus" (approximately 165,000 units) and "Pachinko Slot! Onimusha 3" (approximately 106,000 units). Actual pachinko slot machines at pachinko parlors continue to be popular, and as with the company's previous title "Daito Giken Official Pachinko Slot Simulator Yoshimune," this title will likely see strong sales over a long period.

Third-ranked "Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance (PS2 Edition)" had an absorption rate of above 90% despite being a new title, and was a bigger hit than expected. It appears that the combination of a number of factors including the brand strength of Capcom, which is well-established in ACT, and the world view of the game bearing a close resemblance to that of the "Grand Theft Auto" series led to an unexpected public response.

AHAHAHAAHAUHHUAHA

The Pokemon XD and Nintendogs numbers do NOT include the bundles. Bundles are counted in hardware sales, coming soon. Though the Nintendogs bundle didn't come out til the end of the month so it might not do anything. The Pokemon XD bundle had a whole month so it's possible the GC outsold XBox.

Nice - more sales figures!

Pokemon sold 133K without the bundles...that's pretty good all things considered.

Good to see Castlevania up there with solid figures, but Another has dropped out... any chance that it's figures for the month will be released?

GTA PSP with 158k - not bad, but I expect the sales to be quite a bit lower next month, so it really isn't much of a boost.

Battalion Wars dissapointing, but to be expected.

And finally...

Just so you know RE4 PS2 was only out for 6 days, so its not a total failure yet.

Mario · « **Reply #598 on:** November 11, 2005, 12:22:25 AM »

Nintendo should really make the GC version players choice, it's both versions first holiday coming up and the GC version will steal away the PS2 versions thunder if it's half the price.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #599 on:** November 11, 2005, 01:19:20 AM »

What was the minimum sales required to qualify as Player's Choice?

But I think RE4 for the GC sold quite a bit more the week it was released. 300k within the first month, since it was released on the 11th that was 300k/20d==15k/d. The PS2 version sold 60k/6d==10k/d. That's assuming sales staying constant, which is obviously not the case, sales tend to be higher shortly after the release than later on.
