Topic: New North American (NPD) Sales Thread

[couchmonkey]

I bet if Star Wars Episode III were released on the Cube, it would have been in the top 10 (though not as high as the PS2 and Xbox versions).  DK Jungle Beat isn't doing so well, but it's not Nintendo's biggest franchise, nor is it something that Nintendo advertised much - at least not that I noticed.  Seems to me like Nintendo's marketing department could push some of its niche titles a little more.  It might just be that I haven't been watching as much TV or something, but it seems like Animal Crossing and Pikmin got a lot of marketing compared to some recent games like DKJB, and they sold accordingly.

[KnowsNothing]

DKJB got some good advertising in when it first came out, it showed this guy with an afro controlling people with some bongos.  I saw it quite often back then, but I haven't seen one in a while.

[nickmitch]

They should've kept it running. It was one of the best video game commercials as it showed a good ammount of gameplay while still having that something to grab your attention.

I don't know exactly whats up with the list, but it just appears to list the game that sold well along with all the platforms it was available for, and not exactly what system it sold well on.

So don't get too excited that you see Gamecube on there  

[KDR_11k]

What? Norton System Works dropped off the list?

MoH:EA outsold Battlefield 2. Perhaps those morons who bought MoH should think about the message they're sending!

Americans and the UK are obsessed with first person shooters, I dont understand why either.  It's even starting to filter over into the console world in a big way too.
 

[KDR_11k]

Yes but BF2 is a first person shooter and unlike that piece of crap MOHEA it's awesome! Oh, wait, it's not realistic. Guess that's the problem...

[KDR_11k]

Is that ignoring PC or does the US lack PC gamers?

[Renny]

It does include PC, last I checked. Not a single PSP game either. Are people just buying an expensive MP3 player here too?

[ShyGuy]

People just pirate there PC games and they buy the PSP for the stellar movie experience!

[Ymeegod]

No NPD's only has console info--no PC titles is ever included.

[Renny]

Is there another chart that tracks PC software? I swear I've seen them before. Hope I wasn't thinking of EBGames's so-called charts.

Why are the Donkey Konga 2 lifetime sales 47,835 when it's sold 48,015 this year?

Good to see Jungle Beat's US sales growing steadily, how much did it sell in June?

Also, Mario Baseball has climbed up to number one on the Japanese Daily Chart!
