I think RE4 will eventually sell over a million in the US alone, on GC.

Resident Evil 4 is nearing a mil in the US !!! thats good news

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #480 on:** May 13, 2005, 09:43:57 AM »

Non-zombies a-go-go!

It's been over exactly 5 months, and Resi4 is over 800K on my favorite dead console. Capcom should be pleased!

Umm where do you get that nearly a million sold number from? The first number is money made, the second is units sold... RE 4 only sold 16,445 units last month... that brings it's grand total to 491,814 units sold in the US thus far... it may sell a million after it drops to 19.99 somewhere down the road but for now it's NOWHERE near that mark in the US.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #482 on:** May 13, 2005, 06:51:57 PM »

you know what I didn't really think about it, but the $ was after the larger # so I automatically assumed the 2nd # was money made. I guess that what happens when you don't take the time to pay attention to what you're doing (I am @ work, little busy today, sorta)

Savior · « **Reply #483 on:** May 13, 2005, 08:06:18 PM »

Capcom has only themselves to blame over RE4s flop. Damn Shame too...

the PS2 announcement was Frigging assinine....

watch the mediocre PS2 version outsell it though...

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #484 on:** May 13, 2005, 08:23:36 PM »

Tradition tells me that "Ps2 versions" of "Cube games" BOMB.

Rancid Planet · « **Reply #485 on:** May 15, 2005, 12:20:34 AM »

RE4 won't bomb on PS2. I assure you. It has sold better than I thought it would on cube so far as well.

Apparently NPD doesn't want people "leaking" American sales figures anymore. So I guess that's the end of that. It was kind of nice being able to see through the hype and get something closer to the truth about some things.

These sales threads are going to have to stick to the various Japanese numbers from now on.

Nintendo and Sony need to start making their "shipped" numbers readily available.

IceCold · « **Reply #487 on:** June 21, 2005, 06:51:01 PM »

Damn, and NPD numbers are so hard to get by.

I really wanted to know how the DS would do soon after all the great new games come out. Guess I'll have to wait and see now; we'll eventually get the numbers.

On a related topic, two weeks ago I notices that all the overall sales figures on N-sider.com had vanished, and now it just says "No Sales Data" I could have sworn that they had lifetime nubers for many games, but they're not there now. Anyone know anything about this?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #488 on:** June 21, 2005, 07:44:27 PM »

With no N.A. #'s to post in here I don't expect to see this thread posted in very often (not that it was)as GC games gon't really sell very well in JPN and the last time I seen one on the charts was several weeks ago when Metroid Prime 2 was released, and few weeks b4 that was Fire Emblem.

Mario · « **Reply #489 on:** June 21, 2005, 08:17:57 PM »

Well, Chibi Robo and Kirby GC are out there in a few days, it should be slightly interesting to see how they sell.

IceCold · « **Reply #490 on:** June 21, 2005, 08:42:36 PM »

Well, the North American games didn't really sell well either (except RE4); I was more concerned about DS sales

And yea, we can always look forward to the next "big releases" i.e Kirby & Chibi as Mario said, then Zelda

Dasmos · « **Reply #491 on:** June 21, 2005, 08:49:39 PM »

Wasn't Killer 7 in there like a week ago???

Mario · « **Reply #492 on:** June 21, 2005, 08:56:18 PM »

It flopped, the GC version lasted one day on the charts, well done Capcom!

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #493 on:** June 21, 2005, 09:52:49 PM »

Japan doesn't like shooting unless you let them hold 10 kilos of neon-pink plastic firearm videogaming fun.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #494 on:** June 21, 2005, 11:37:50 PM »

No, japanese hate the ego perspective because it makes them feel like it's them dying when their character dies. In K7 you shoot in first person view.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #495 on:** June 22, 2005, 01:09:20 AM »

Interesting. I now see why House of the Deads, Time Crises, and Virtua Cops seem to be all their market can handle.

Lame.

Mario · « **Reply #496 on:** June 23, 2005, 04:57:56 PM »

YES! May NPD data has been leaked after all! Only a few numbers so far

Top 3 publishers

1 Nintendo of America
2 Lucasarts
3 Electronic Arts

GBA POKEMON EMERALD Nintendo $30,236,960 882,579
PS2 SW EPISODE III: SITH $24,187,620 490,670
XBX SW EPISODE III: SITH $18,663,830 378,195
XBX FORZA MOTORSPORT $9,174,106 184,595
PS2 MIDNIGHT CLUB 3: DUB $7,345,949 150,470
PS2 LEGO STAR WARS $5,035,527 127,700
GBA SW EPISODE III: SITH $2,523,299 87,363
NDS SW EPISODE III: SITH $1,663,455 43,726

Top selling GC game - GCN DK: JUNGLE W/BONGOS $1,261,860 23,093

Pretty bad that the top selling GC game only sold 23,000, but it's good that it's Jungle Beat, that game has been selling pretty consistantly, hopefully word of mouth gets out and it keeps selling.

More numbers, including hardware, coming soon I hope

Invincible Donkey Kong · « **Reply #497 on:** June 23, 2005, 06:50:58 PM »

If Jungle Beat doesn't pick up I'm going to have to start putting more budget towards FIRST-CLASS ASS KICKINGS!

Ymeegod · « **Reply #498 on:** June 23, 2005, 07:41:36 PM »

23K for highest selling game for the month? And people wonder why 3rd party developers are ditching the cube?

Actually I think Killer 7 is out in Japan now (didn't blow off the charts) and I think it sold 17K on PS2 and 12K on the GC during it's opening week--pretty weak sales on either platform.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #499 on:** June 23, 2005, 10:26:51 PM »

I don't think Capcom expected any higher sales. They're making pretty niche franchises all the time in the hope that one of them becomes successful (e.g. Viewtiful Joe).
