Link?

 

[Beezy]

Lists!

 

[Scottlarock]

halo 2 + halo 2 collectors = :O

 

[cvxfreak]

Man, even the top 200 yields sales of around 700K.

 

[Oblivion]

Wow. Sony published a fuckton of games this gen. They're almost gonna gonna catch up to Nintendo at this rate.

 

[HyperZone<3]

obligitory EA sucks comment.
obligitory buy something else comment.
obligitory casual gamers suck comment.

That oughta cover it.

 

[AniHawk]

I don't think Mario & Luigi is a million seller, and I think Ghost Recon is. So there you go.

add obligatory Nintendo rocks comment and you're set I think

- industry is collapsing (aka the "iwata was right" comment)
- industry is sequel whores

 

[teepo]

it's going to be amazing look at this list 2-3 years from now with all the totals from the sales that come from the greatest hit line. the percentages will be a hell of a lot different.

 

[Gahiggidy]

Link?

.

 

[ioi]

May have been worth specifying this is NPD US only ;-)

 

[Idioteque]

PS2 METAL GEAR3:SNAKE EAT KONAMI OF AMERICA Nov-04 1,039,825

not bad but it deserves better

i wounder how well subsistence will do?

 

[GitarooMan]

Jak 3 really jumped up the last couple months (greatest hits), looks like all three will clear 1 million, pretty impressive.

EDIT: Also, the Madden sales are mind-blowing, talk about a license to print money

 

[kaizoku]

WTF only one NOA game didn't top 1 million? Amazing success ratio.

 

[joeposh]

WTF only one NOA game didn't top 1 million? Amazing success ratio.

Nah I think the over 2 mill titles are included in the over 1 million figure, so it's more like 11 didn't top 1 million.

 

[Kai]

Am I reading this right??

Halo 2 is the number 2 selling game this gen (US)? (Lmtd + regular) = 5,909,081!! =0

 

[Mashing]

5,900,000 people got PUNKED by Microsoft.

 

[Beowvlf]

WTF only one NOA game didn't top 1 million? Amazing success ratio.

There's actually eleven on the list under 1 million, I think the top chart is incorrect.

Nevertheless, 20 of Nintendo's 31 games are either Mario or Pokemon related, which is absolutely huge, and is indisputable proof of the mass appeal that those characters still have amongst the Nintendo fanbase.

Nothing else comes close.

 

[Nutter]

Am I reading this right??

NO.

~3.2 + ~1.7 =~ 4.9Mill

The Jak games are fantastic, and I'm glad to see them getting the sales they deserve.

And amen on your Madden comment; Madden's 2001 to 2006 on just the PS2 sold a ridiculously astonishing 15,324,767 copies. Nucking futs.

 

[Izzy]

Madden...

 

[Lindsay]

GRAN TURISMO 3:A-SPEC - 3,805,542
GRAN TURISMO 4 - 1,504,587



HALO 2 LIMITED ED - 1,683,821

Gives new meaning to the word "limited."

 

[Scottlarock]

HALO 2 LIMITED ED - 1,683,821

Gives new meaning to the word "limited."

count me in on one of the 1,683,821 =(

 

[DarienA]

Happy to see AC4 that high on the list.

 

[Dyne]

Namco Museum outsold Pokemon Sapphire?

3 million copies?

That CANNOT be true.

 

[Speevy]

I wish Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge were on this list.

 

[LanceStern]

Actually I wouldn't be surprised that Namco Battle Museum sold that much. They can be very popular as well as some movie franchises on GBA.

Anyways, the main point I think we want to bring up is that Super Smash Bros. Melee is the THIRD HIGHEST SELLING EXCLUSIVE TITLE in the US

And that's what's up

 

[LanceStern]

Also another fact I like to look at is the amazing selling power of Mario at least in the US.

Mario was the highest selling US Title even with Genesis out
Mario was the highest selling US GB title even with Pokemon there
Mario was the highest selling N64 title and overall title even with the PS1 out

Mario is the highest selling US GBA title even with Pokemon there.
Mario is the highest selling US DS title
Mario is the 2nd highest US GCN title

Even though his momentum slows, he's still the top dog on Nintendo. I like thinking like that, shows nostalgia and quality still rules

 

[Guillotine]

Hey, Nintendo rocks!

 

[jamesinclair]

PS2 DDRMAX 2 KONAMI OF AMERICA Sep-03 715,432


Oh wow.

 

[Ronin]

I had no idea DDR Max 2 did that well.

 

[jamesinclair]

Namco Museum outsold Pokemon Sapphire?

3 million copies?

That CANNOT be true.

GBA DISNEY PRINCESS THQ Mar-03 839,209

Some GBA games have horrible legs

 

[VOOK]

Only one game left on the Cube that could disrupt that list....

 

[jedimike]

Thx for the list SC... I had no idea Kingdom Hearts was such a hit. One of my regrets from this gen was not playing it, which means I'll be missing part II as well.

 

[Beowvlf]

I wish Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge were on this list.

Damn straight. One of the best games on the system. What did it even sell anyways? Enough for a sequel?

 

[Lindsay]

Mario is the highest selling US GBA title even with Pokemon there.

SUPER MARIO ADVANCE 2 - 2,461,043
POKEMON RUBY - 2,457,071

Not for long. Dunno how SMA2 sells normally but Rubys got enough steam to pull ahead if only by a little.

 

[AirBrian]

sonycowboy, can you breakdown NOA's total sales between GCN and GBA (and I guess NDS)?

 

[Red Blaster]

Hey, SC...how about stretching this to a 400 list?

 

[Raw64life]

If you could include N64/PSX/DC sales and stretch this list out to about 5,000 that would be great.

 

[Mrbob]

GO GO JOHN MADDEN GO!

So how did the Halo triple pack sell? Might have put Halo 2 over 5 million sold with the triple pack.

Halo 3 is going to be a beast.

 

[ImJustALemonade]

if you could stretch it down to every single game ever published that would be awesome

 

[TheDuce22]

The Halo franchise is bigger than I thought.

 

[Jiggy]

Wow, I didn't realize that even Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire combined (which they should be, IMO) can't touch the GTA series. Do people really like games centered around backtracking that much?

 

[cvxfreak]

Pokemon in its prime is bigger than GTA in its prime (which is apparently VC). And there's Japan sales to be counted in.

 

[AniHawk]

The Jak games are fantastic

STOP. HURTING. MY. HEAD.

 

[Dave Long]

I dunno if this guy posts here anymore...

...but when I said Halo was the second biggest franchise behind GTA this gen and you disputed it... I was right and you were wrong.

 

[Zaphod]

After reading that chart all I can say is...
Go Sony
Go Nintendo
Go Microsoft

Everyone had a great generation. More great games for all of us.

Oh and Go Sonycowboy, great chart as always!

Err, I'd give that to Madden more than anything. Multiplatform especially.
