I think people are still adapting to the slow-burn sales pattern of the Wii. HotD OK didn't sell much it's first month but isn't that over 200k now? Madworld is also over 100k I think as well. I don't think we can assume most Wii titles are down for the count until 6-8 months after they come out.

[BeautifulShy]

Madworld is actually at 190 k last time I checked.

So both Aerosmith and Metallica are in the top twenty. Interesting. Guess this will only encourage Activision to make more of these every year.

Van Halen and Moteley Crue are also rumored to be coming later this year.

[TJ Spyke]

The sales info has to be wrong, there's no way GH: Aerosmith is anywhere near the top 10, it has to be GH: Metallica.

GameStop had a sale in April where you could get Guitar Hero: Aerosmith plus a guitar for $10. I think Toys R Us had a similar deal.

[Caliban]

Excitebutts needs mawr visage 'cause that 13k isn't making anyone proud.

13,000 isn't too bad for 10 days.

True, but I was stating it in comparison to Excite Truck. I should have added more detail to my post, my bad.

I think people are still adapting to the slow-burn sales pattern of the Wii.

I am.

Madworld is actually at 190 k last time I checked.

Bangarang!

[GoldenPhoenix]

I am excited to see how Punch-Out!! does.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

So does Punch-Out have a better marketting campaign than ExciteButts?

[Stratos]

Since anything is better than nothing I would venture to guess yes.

[GoldenPhoenix]

The Punch-Out!! marketing has been quite good from what I've seen, while ExciteBots had, um, yeah, not much.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

So I have to ask Nintendo, what the **** is going on?

[GoldenPhoenix]

So I have to ask Nintendo, what the **** is going on?

They do it to spite you.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Therefore ExciteButts should never have been made, since this is all the sales they planned to get out of it.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Nintendo makes games, doesn't market them, sends them to stores, generates nonsales, and PROFITS?!

Sony needs to start taking notes.

[TJ Spyke]

So does Punch-Out have a better marketting campaign than ExciteButts?

There's been a ****-load of videos on GameTrailers/iTunes. I haven't seen any TV commercials though (of coarse I don't have cable or satellite though, and most video game commercials on aired on channels like Spike and Comedy Central). I really loved the live action videos about Little Mac making a comeback (which I think first aired on the Nintendo Channel).

[BlackNMild2k1]

Madworld is actually at 190 k last time I checked.

Where did you check? In the future?
Because where I checked you would be about 100k over what it actually sold LTD.

[Kairon]

Madworld is actually at 190 k last time I checked.

Because where I checked you would be about 100k over what it actually sold LTD.

Yeah, I'm also curious.... though I'm not too worried about Madworld sales yet, I figure they could arc a little below NMH sales.

It just struck me that the victorious PS2 sales means the number of regular DVD players on the market is beating the growth of the BRD player market.  Blu-Ray is pathetically losing the format war.

So PSP is on that 30-yr plan as well?

[BlackNMild2k1]

damn. total hardware is only at 95k combined (excluding PS2 since its not listed)
Remember when the DS would do something near that number all on its own week after week?

Looks like swine flu has kicked the recession into full swing in Japan now.
