fwiw here are this month's top 10 in software-
# NCAA Football 08—360—EA—397K # Guitar Hero Encore Rocks the 80s—PS2—Activision—339K # Wii Play w/remote—Wii—Nintendo—278K # NCAA Football 08—PS2—EA—236K # Mario Party 8—Wii—Nintendo—177K # NCAA Football 08—PS3—EA—156K # Pokemon Diamond—DS—Nintendo—144K # Transformers: The Game—PS2—Activision—143K # Guitar Hero II w/guitar—PS2—Activision—138K # Guitar Hero II w/guitar—360—Activision—108K Impressive next gen sales for NCAA vs. PS2 considering the size of the user bases. I think that is the first third-party PS3 game to crack the top ten. Can Rock Band topple the Guitar Hero brand name this fall/winter? It just missed the list but Mario Strikers Charged sold about 100,000 copies it's first week, it came out July 31 IIRC. Same with RE4: Wii edition with had about 90,000. Hopefully Konami is paying attention to these numbers for a two year old port and gives Wii owners some kind of RE5 spin-off game that controls like RE4: Wii. |

Wouldn't have been the first time a market leader launched two years behind its primary competition, either. Sega Genesis - 1989 Super Nintendo - 1991 SNES wound up with 55% of the market share in that generation, so while the Genesis ate a healthy chunk of the market, Nintendo still came out on top. |

That's probably a very good analogy to the current war going on. In '89, NES was still king and still releasing very good games, so a lot of people didn't feel the need to buy a new console when they still had an NES to play and still get new games on. (In fact, I think '89 was the year my parents bought me and my brother an NES.) It'd probably be hard to find, but I wonder what the NES sales numbers were for 89-92. |
