well, as bad as those may be, atleast sales don't affect how fun a game is.

That top ten for all formats is beyond depressing. LOL MADDEN 2005, IT'S SO FRESH AND AMAZING.

"well, as bad as those may be, atleast sales don't affect how fun a game is."

True. But it does indicate how retarded the North American market is right now.

I live among retards.

Sales are always depressing. Great games will always be great games, but if they're not trendy or cool at the time then there's not marketing force in the world that can sell it. Prime example is Beyond good and evil. I'm willing to say that BGE was the best multiplatform game to come out last year, and in most cases better than Kotor, VJ, TLOZ, and did sony have a blockbuster game last year.

7 out of the top 10 are football games. Gotta catch 'em all!

Renny · « **Reply #156 on:** September 13, 2004, 08:08:16 PM »

While the other three are a movie license, a Tom Clancy game, and a soulless shooter. That's pretty much what the yearly charts look like.

We Americans love our football!

*charges through people football style*

I don'y buy football games so I don't know how it works. What's the reason in buying a new madden game every year. How much better can each game get. I have ncaa 2005 but that's the first football game I've bought since nfl quarterback club '96. Its a good game but I won't buy another football game for five or six years.

Better than the PC charts which consist of 50% Sims.

I'm glad we could have this discussion. ;¬]

Mumei · « **Reply #163 on:** September 15, 2004, 11:32:28 AM »

Good god August looked horrible. The best-selling Gamecube game sold worse than Halo for god's sake. =/

I do hope the sales numbers start picking up soon, because that is just sad. =/

MaleficentOgre · « **Reply #164 on:** September 15, 2004, 01:49:46 PM »

I just can't wait until we get novembers numbers.
Halo 2= 9,923,923,234,234
GTA:SA= 9,923,923,234,233
MP2 = 500,000

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #165 on:** September 15, 2004, 01:55:47 PM »

There aren't that many people in the world. As of the second I looked up the world's population, everybody in the world would have to run out and buy 1553 copies of Halo 2 and GTA:SA to get numbers like that. Each.

MaleficentOgre · « **Reply #166 on:** September 15, 2004, 03:46:20 PM »

It was figurative. I was making a funny, and I see that I failed. How's this both Halo 2 and GTA:SA will sell above the millions, and metroid prime 2 won't. If it breaks 3 quarter of a million I'll sell my car.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #167 on:** September 15, 2004, 04:02:07 PM »

Then please put community service hours in by going to Media Blitz and start spreading the trailers i linked there.

Sorry, I'd rather not have another Halo "argument" with a Gamecube fanboy. They're futile...

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #169 on:** September 16, 2004, 12:30:34 PM »

Have a Halo argument with a PC gamer, then.

AMac2002 · « **Reply #170 on:** September 16, 2004, 12:46:17 PM »

Haha, ahhh I'd rather not. People are entitled to their own opinions, and these arguments really don't produce much.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #171 on:** September 16, 2004, 01:08:51 PM »

GREAT RESPONSE

Thank you
