Red Dead Revolver being #1 surprised me, and I expected Samurai Warriors to do better. Tranformers being as high as it is is also a bit surprising.

Aeggie · 06-23-2004, 07:15 PM

The Xbox and PS2 are both feeling a sales boost from recent price cuts...

I'd like to see a Top 20 or something for the PS2. Would like to see how La Pucelle did (not terribly surprised it didn't make the top 10, given that it would have had to sell more than 60k copies).

A LOT of games didn't do very well. Standouts are Onimusha 3 and Rallisport Challenge 2. Those numbers are just sad.

Aeggie · 06-23-2004, 11:54 PM

Is anyone else really surprised that Shrek 2 made all four lists?

Escaflowne2001 · 06-24-2004, 05:22 AM

It was highest on the GC no wonder it gets a kiddy persona.

Nyceane · 06-24-2004, 06:29 AM

red dead revolver sold more than syphon filter...

Escaflowne2001 · 06-24-2004, 09:13 AM

There's alot of western fans. . . they got the atmosphere exact if nothing else.

But it's because people don't bother to look at numbers. The game actually sold the most on PS2 and Gameboy. It was on the Gamecube top part of the list since it's a fairly new release to go along with a very popular movie. Expect something similar with Spiderman 2.

Disgaea broke the top ten, so I expected La Pucelle to at least have a decent showing that's apparently not happening.

Ah, but look at this:

GCN POKEMON COLOSSEUM $2,699,522 56,692
GCN SHREK 2 $2,691,449 54,099
GCN CUSTOM ROBO $1,889,476 47,598
GCN MARIO KART: DOUBLE $1,315,605 26,582

GCN SUPER SMASH BRO MELEE $837,854 28,192

GCN MVP BASEBALL 2004 $797,860 16,465
GCN MARIO PARTY 5 $710,399 14,326

The only game on that list that does not feature a cartoon/anime look to it, is MVP Baseball. That's why the GC has the kid friendly image (and that's not a bad thing), because that is what the people are actually buying.
