It was ahead, but now the PS2 version is catching up.

Given the size of the PS2 userbase, that was always going to happen, and is probably exactly what Namco expected.

The diehard GameCube fans who generally buy 1st party Nintendo product the day/week it ships were enticed into doing the same with the GCN version of Soul Calibur 2. But in the weeks that followed, most GameCube owners that were interested in the title had already bought it, but the many casual gamers who only enter EB every month or so saw and bought it for PS2.

I must say, Those Crimson Skies sales makes me feel sad. It would have deserved to sell more.

But then again, pretty much all in Cubes top 5 should have sold more... hmm... Can't wait to see how Mario Kart will sell.

Mario · « **Reply #103 on:** November 18, 2003, 01:47:02 AM »

Viewtiful Joe did very well, i am quite surprised, considering the type of game it is.

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #104 on:** November 18, 2003, 05:53:00 AM »

Looks like the GCN was the only system that TMNT really did anything on, at least in the top 10 area.

Fish · « **Reply #105 on:** November 18, 2003, 06:31:27 AM »

PS2: 300,000 [-10% over September sales]
Xbox: 176,000 [+3%]
GCN: 254,000 [+54%]
GBA: 401,000 [-2%]

Go Cube! Just hope Mario Kart and Zelda bundle keeps it above Xbawx.(Just wanted to see is that easier to type than Xbox. No, it is not. oh well..)

PIAC · « **Reply #107 on:** November 18, 2003, 08:31:05 AM »

i say xbawx because of group x ;p it's not any form of derogatory jab at the system, or any attempt to shorten my typing time, which I never do. also...

HAH! take THAT bill, Billy Hatcher IS awsome and deserves that spot at #7!

It saddens me to no end how Madden sells so many copies.

All that proves is my belief that there are way too many stupid, uninformed gamers out there...

VideoGamerX · « **Reply #114 on:** November 18, 2003, 08:14:47 PM »

There were plenty of updates to the Madden series this year to warrant a buy, like improved defensive AI, new playmaker controls for better controls during plays, improved AI all around, new players added to the roster, improved visuals and audio, new cameras, new split screen views, and new modes. The franchise mode also saw improvements, and the new stadium builder made creating a new franchise all the more worthwhile.

Just because you don't like sports games doesn't mean you have to downgrade it as if only retards would buy it. I guess that makes you a fanboy of some other type of game since you fail to see anything good or positive out of being able to play football with cyber versions of your favorite superstars. Many people dream of being sports super stars but realize how rediculously unlikely it is that their dream will become a reality. By that same token, many of us dream of other far out fantastic things. What do we do to achieve this in some form or another? A good chunk of us realize these fantastic dreams through video games.

" I just want to know what the hell changes each year for these people to buy it EVERY year. I mean lets see, updated stats...and thats about it. "

It is obvious you havent played the game and for some reason see the need to rag on it even though you have no factual basis at all for your agrument. Play the game first if you insist on bitching at least then your posts will make a little bit of sense.

"All that proves is my belief that there are way too many stupid, uninformed gamers out there.."

all that statement proves is that Bill thinks he is a know it all god of gaming who for some reason is bothered by what games other people like.

Give it a few weeks.

Mario · « **Reply #119 on:** December 15, 2003, 03:35:26 PM »

Note: These numbers are not confirmed... and could be fake, im not sure.

GCN - 1,325,108
PS2 - 1,123,167
Xbox - 775,897
GBA - 2,124,690

Oh how i hope these numbers are right.

Pikkcuber · « **Reply #120 on:** December 15, 2003, 03:57:39 PM »

Hey manunited4eva22 i got 20 bucks on the table that you buy a soccer game every year. You soccer fans dont get football and we dont get soccer thats the way it has been and always will be. And there are alot of changes in madden every year i hate when people who never played madden critisize it like that, i hate shooters but i keep my comments to myself.

Berny · « **Reply #121 on:** December 15, 2003, 03:58:37 PM »

Awesome if they are. Has Nintendo sold less than the PS2 since the price drop?

Too bad if they aren't. I was hoping the streak would last. Or if they aren't real and are in fact BETTER, well that would just be stu–friggin–pendous.

Mario · « **Reply #122 on:** December 15, 2003, 04:01:44 PM »

Well if they are real, it would mark the first time a console has ever outsold the PS2 in a month, and Nintendo GameCube's best month ever.

Berny · « **Reply #123 on:** December 15, 2003, 04:20:02 PM »

Really? It's best EVER? Like ever this month?

Well if they aren't real, I will MAKE them real. How you ask? I have my methods....

Mario · « **Reply #124 on:** December 15, 2003, 04:29:53 PM »

GameCube has never sold over a million in just one month before. So yeah, this would be it's best month ever.
