You sound like you have specific titles in mind but I can't figure out which ones.

Also, they aren't westernized, they are made in the west.

I did have other titles in mine, but I couldn't remember what they were called.
One was Virtua Fighter 5 though, so that leaves 2 more that I can't think of.

Those finding are based on what? who did they poll? it all sound like a load of crap to me.

I'll leave that up to you to decide. But I still say its funny

[Kairon]

That smiley face was about 1000 times better than the official videogame voters network commercial.

Update: FWN Media Create Sales 7/16 - 7/22  

[Ceric]

Interesting that even though the Wii sold less units then last week its still on track to overcome the Cubes numbers in 11 weeks while the DS still has 15 weeks to go till it can surpass the PS2.  That will be a big announcement in October-November.

[Ceric]

A better article about Nielsen  So all you really need is a game soundtrack and and a cd player to trick it.  What about multiple console released games?

62. (Wii, Nintendo) Fire Emblem: Goddess of Dawn - 153,397

I'm surprised no one is mentioning this.  Fire Emblem on the Wii has now sold around the same as the it did on the Gamecube in Japan.  The difference is, Fire Emblem for the Gamecube made up it's entire sales it's first few weeks and then died.  The Wii Fire Emblem on the other hand had lower sales it's first several weeks but has been hanging in there for the last several months and has now reached what it's Gamecube counterpart has.

This is a perfect example of how it looks like Wii games will have great legs in Japan.

Poor Dewys Adventure has not even managed to enter the top 30.

7 NEW games in the Top 10!!?? that impressive, especially considering that every console and both handhelds hold atleast one of those Top 10 spots.

[KDR_11k]

05. [Wii] Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 (Bandai-Namco) - 46,000 / NEW

Is that more or less than The PS3's "lol we get minimum ratings" game?

[Ceric]

The Top Ten is a little more jumbled then normal.

[Majora]

Hot Shots Golf 5?? Sales suprise me.

Might actually be decent....... if it were a Wii game.

Watching videos of it makes me just hate it...... knowing how much better it's be with my Wii-Wand.

You're right, it would sell a hell of a lot better if it were a Wii game, and I think most 3rd parties already realize that they bet on the wrong horse. But everyone knows that its called a Wii-mote and not a Wii-wand you Harry Potter fan!!!!
Hahaha potter fan... actually I'm just kidding. I just wanted to poke some fun at the lurker/new poster.

Haha, yeah I am a bit of a lurker, been visiting since the start of the planetgamecube days and had a few forum accounts, but never have contributed much. So I thought I might start slowly posting.... lol, everyone seems nice enough here...

Wii-wand just sounds good... Do you think Nintendo ever considered actually calling it the Wiimote... instead of the Wii-REmote?

Nice hmm? Be careful with that thinking. The next thing you know you're posting a completely harmless idea about online plans with Wii, having your ideas called stupid with questionable evidence to disprove it when you were simply thinking of a nice scenario.

[Kairon]

Either that or you're actually enjoying a game that most review sites have panned, and then the very next seconjd you're beind accused of deliberately snubbing good games just to support mediocrity, lazy ports, and the death of gaming... and drinking too much kool-aid. Well... I like the kool-aid! So there!

I can't believe it.  This is the first time since I started making the parser that a Gamecube game has made the top 50.  I had to change it to compensate because I hadn't originally put the code in for it.  This last week has been all sorts of weird.  I'll have to make sure all to up SalesBot power system at this rate...
