Soul Caliber Sales: Nintendo Beating up Sony

BreakABone · 09-11-2003, 10:30 AM

Actually that data was stolen from Matt off the IGN boards, he didn't make a news story about it, but it's there.

Who cares who stole it from who. That's what society is....

But anywho

It's good to see that all it takes is a well known character and hype that lives up to what people claimed (about SCII) to sell good on the 'Cube. I wonder how long term sales will pan out...

I'm glad that Nintendo is finally pulling some numbers on games farther than other consoles.

I think the reason it's selling so well on the Cube is... well, there is nothing else worth buying on the system, so why not get it?

That is true actually

But it still doesn't explain why PS2's sales are that low... lower than Xbox... I would say it's because Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution was recently released on PS2, and that's supposed to be just as good, if not better than SC2... But we all know how poorly Sega's games have been selling...

True.. That and another reason/opinion why GC is outselling the other two is that have you seen any commercials for SC2 that doesn't end in GC or have link in it ?

I bought F-Zero GX the same day SCII came out...so there must've been other good games that are worth buying.

But remember also, only 1 other fighting (if you want to consider this a fighting game) game for the 'Cube, which is Smash Bros. Melee. SCII is the 'Cube's best true fighting game, so it makes sense to at least sell good.

All in good fun of course.

F zero woulda been SO much better had they tried to put more new and more innovative stuff in it. it feels like just more of the same. (fun tho) just not new.

THE REASON NINTENDO IS SELLING SO GOOD IS PROBABLY THE FACT THAT PEOPLE HAVE STARTED TO REALIZE THAT NOT ONLY DOES GAMECUBE HAVE A WAY FASTER LOADING TIME(2ND FASTEST,1ST IS XBOX)BUT HAS THE BEST GRAPHICS PROCESSOR,WHICH BEATS OUT XBOX AND PS2,ALL RESPECT TO XBOX I ALSO SUPPORT THEM BUT SONY IS JUST EW,I MEAN THEYLOST FINAL FANTASY AND NOW ITS BACK WHERE IT FIRST STARTED I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I HAVE THE VERY FIRST FF FOR MY NINTENDO.PS2 NO GOOD.

It isn't that there's nothing else worth buying it's that there's nothing else that anyone wants to buy. It's also that there are no other fighers worth buying. 45,000 units is hardly "beating up" especially when the game will end up being a million seller.

I'm also pretty sure that cube europe was the first site to break with those numbers so take it all with a grain of salt.

It's certianly good for nintendo that the game is selling well but don't get too excited about trumping sony. It will eventually take the lead just based on the fact that it holds a 5 to 1 edge in systems floating around out there.
