Suikoden IV > Winning Eleven...for this week. The rpg revolution is near.

Thanks for the numbers, CVX.

 

[cvxfreak]

Not a problem.

 

[AniHawk]

PM2 aint gonna outsell the original..

Winning Eleven numbers are insane.

 

[snapty00]

2 PS2 World Soccer Winning Eleven 8 Konami 45,690 982,258

I swear this number is so high that it doesn't look right in a Japanese sales chart.

Has any GC sequel outsold its N64 original yet?

GO Pro EVO!!

 

[cvxfreak]

Animal Crossing?

 

[Jonnyram]

Animal Crossing?

OK, but that has an unfair advantage in that it was Japan-onry before...
And strictly speaking, it's not a sequel

 

[AniHawk]

Mario Party 4.

But PM2 may have been hurt by SMB2 and SMBall. It's possible if the game has legs, that it sells another 90k though.

Oh damn. Shrine of Data must've been on the fritz since I think it replaced PM with another N64 game which had sold 426k.

PM2 will outsell the N64 original then.

I could have sworn that, at some point, someone posted higher figures for PM...although I may be wrong. I have a tendency to do that.

And F-Zero GX (by 2k).

You were looking at U.S. version sales.

Even if SOD has correct data, PM2 will STILL outsell it.

It's got 90k to go...

Easy pickings.

 

[Fularu]

Smash Bros?

 

[cvxfreak]

Smash Bros?

Nope, it missed the N64 game by 900K, although SSBDX is still selling.

 

[evilromero]

Super Mario Ball looks great. I wish it could be doing better numbers!

 

[sprsk]

atleast the xbox sales are consistant, right guys?

 

[snapty00]

Have you played the game? Judging from your response, I'm guessing you haven't.

 

[sprsk]

yeah mario ball sucks pretty bad.

 

[cvxfreak]

They WERE exactly the same, BTW.

 

[MetatronM]

They WERE exactly the same, BTW.

Which makes it the only system to not have a drop off from last week.

See? Japan LOVES the Xbox!

Somebody should call Microsoft's PR department and inform them posthaste.

 

[RiZ III]

who the hell is still buying PSOne?! why!!

 

[Alcibiades]

They WERE exactly the same, BTW.

wait, doesn't Microsoft Japan have exactly 366 employees?

 

[Defensor]

who the hell is still buying PSOne?! why!!

Why not!?!

 

[Broshnat]

PM2 aint gonna outsell the original..

It will do another 90k without too much problem, although there are no reliable figures for Paper Mario. Iirc, Famitsu has it on about 360k, Dengeki on 420k and Media Create tracked it on about 700k. This goes back to the days when the coverage of the magazines was really poor, and Nintendo games in particular were actually selling much more than Famitsu and Dengeki would track them. I'd suspect that Paper Mario on the N64 sold around 550k or so, when all was said and done. PM2 may just match that...

 

[Broshnat]

Why not!?!

Because it's 10 years old !!!

 

[Mrbob]

What the heck is Super Mario Ball?!?!

 

[Grizzlyjin]

What the heck is Super Mario Ball?!?!

GBA mario pinball game.

 

[neptunes]

it's a pinball game thats not to great.

You're right. Last week, Famitsu had Famicom Mini: Super Mario Brothers 2 at 55,000 when M-Create had it at 100K or so!

 

[AniHawk]

So if PM was counted at 700k in MC, and it's currently half that for PM2...
