Just added, HW sales so far this year:

Neo Child · Jun 19, 2006

Will nothing stop Sega?

GitarooMan · Jun 19, 2006

Ah, Ken Griffey and NBA Jam, good month for sports gamers.

jman2050 · Jun 19, 2006

Sonic 3 had a good second month. it has legs.

GO SONIC

jarrod · Jun 19, 2006

btw... Aladdin Genesis was a SEGA game.

Jim · Jun 19, 2006

Go NBA Jam... pfft, who needs EA when you have Acclaim.
Though I'm hearing good things about this "NBA Live" series which is coming out in '95.

(Thanks for these awesome threads, BTW)

ConsumerSquare · Jun 19, 2006

Sega bringing us a one console future!

jarrod · Jun 19, 2006

Hey, is it possible to get ltds for the older stuff mentioned up to this point added?

Reilly · Jun 19, 2006

Will Capcom ever stop making Mega Man games? -_-

Stop killing the retro illusion!

Danthrax · Jun 19, 2006

Wow, big drop for Sonic 3. I'm a little worried its gimped number of zones is hurting its sales legs. We need S&K stat!

Ghengis Cohen · Jun 19, 2006

Reilly said:

I don't see them making Mega Man games after this generation. I think the franchise has run out of steam entirely.

Archie · Jun 19, 2006

Know what Nintendo needs? A new Mario game. Look how much Super Mario Bros. 3 sold, I'm sure we will get a new Mario side scroller sometime this year!

yayaba · Jun 19, 2006

Sega has 16 of the top 25... Nintendo is doomed, DOOMED I SAY!

Pimpbaa · Jun 19, 2006

Look at those increased 3DO sales. That price drop really helped. It's only a matter of time before it's the dominate platform.

Do you honestly think a $500 system will ever sell well? That is alot of money!

Honestly... no game company would ever dare to sell their systems for $500+ after this!

Oblivion · Jun 19, 2006

Anyone know what the Genesis LTD is in the U.S.? (For the present)

AlanHemberger · Jun 19, 2006

I'm kind of disappointed that Mario Paint dropped so fast. But yeah, Sonic 3 definitely has legs and I think everyone underestimated NBA Jam. I think this list just shows how bad the SNES is getting stomped

djtiesto · Jun 19, 2006

Impressive how the NES still continues to sell... Its probably cutting into sales of the SNES. When the NES market migrates to the SNES, then Sega will be in some trouble.

Oh, and can we get some SEGA-CD sales up in here?

Don't be, Mario Paint was actually released August 1992. For it to still be on the charts even at that price is very impressive, not even Star Fox lasted this long.

Er... I mean Aladdin Genesis *is* a SEGA game and can we have ltd sales for *today* (March 1994)?

Square2005 · Jun 19, 2006

djtiesto said:

Maybe if Sega CD sales were higher they'd make it into the TOP25:lol .
If a Sega CD title ever sells enough i'll include in the TOP25, but that hasn't happened yet.
Look for a release list of upcoming games that might sell well, so you'll know what to expect.

Red Scarlet · Jun 19, 2006

19 GEN X-Men ($49)

That game's crazy. I'm at this computer, and it tells me to reset the machine, and I don't know what to do. SOMEONE HELP!

I've answered this so many times...look in the previous month threads.

I know me too >.<

There needs to be a website where all sorts of game faqs are made so we can easily look up codes.

Red Scarlet · Jun 19, 2006

What's a web site? I don't like spiders.

starship · Jun 19, 2006

what an amazing legs Tetris 2 NES has. I think next generation will be Nintendo's last attempt and after that it will go third party.

It's something only the rich can afford.
Stupid Prodigy... they charge you for each minute you are connected.

Ignatz Mouse · Jun 19, 2006

1995 can't get here fast enough.

Red Scarlet · Jun 19, 2006

So it's like phone sex? What do you do on Prodigy?

Didn't SF2T come out around the same time as Special Champion Edition? Or did the Genesis one have longer legs?

Pimpbaa · Jun 19, 2006

Archie said:

But it's not just a game machine, it's a multimedia center! It can play audio cds (with CD+G), photo cds, and video cds! That makes it worth the money.

Yeah only a month apart, but SFII Turbo fell off the TOP25 this month (see Feb).

photo/video compact discs!?

evilromero · Jun 19, 2006

Ah, Sega's good year up until that Fall (when Nintendo dropped DKC). If Nintendo had allowed MK1 to be as gory as MK2 this wouldn't be an issue.

soul creator · Jun 19, 2006

man, Acclaim is going to completely dominate future generations. They're not going out of business anytime soon, that's for sure!

DarkCloud · Jun 19, 2006

Acclaim is on a roll! EA never stood a chance.

Unison · Jun 19, 2006

Did NeoGeo sell zero? :lol

You 3DO fanboys are the worst, I swear. Although, I will admit that the M3 looks hot. It'll forever change the face of gaming when it finally hits!

BorkBork · Jun 19, 2006

NBA Jam was actually the game that got me interested in basketball. Can't believe it's been 12 years...

lyre · Jun 19, 2006

How can a purely TV and other gizmo player like Panasonic be the market leader in gaming?!!? It's like ... I dunno .. SONY being the market leader!! It's unfathomable I tells ya.

Yeah and it will never sell another unit. Completely dead.

12 years ago? 1982?
NBA Jam was for the Atari?

That's 19,118 carts smashed trying to reset the power. :lol

Pft

It would never replace the tip hotlines.

p.s

NBA Jam is the hottest thing since Peter Andre

Tiktaalik · Jun 19, 2006

Is it 95 when SNES overcomes the Genesis? Oh man 16 bit wars were so good.

Link1110 · Jun 19, 2006

Talk from the future:

I never knew Genesis outsold SNES for so long, SNES really only won because of Japan. Remind you of anything recent?

If we want to talk as if from 2006 in these threads, lets just do it in spoilers, so everyone wins
