Soul Caliber Sales: Nintendo Beating up Sony

Blackmane · 09-11-2003, 03:03 PM

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 ?

Actually i seen the most PS2 and GC ones. quite a few of them. one commerical break have GC one, next would be PS2. only saw the Xbox commercial once.

Im glad to see that Nintendo is having success with that game, i only hope that they can boost hardware sales as well. I bought the game, and lots of people i know bought it, its great.

Im surprised by this. A game selling better on the Cube than on the PS2!?? Its Bullocks! Its really good to hear though.

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.

I think CVS2 is betta

Personally I plan on getting Wrestlmania XIX, P.N.03, and I already have F-Zero GX and Madden/NCAA Football 2004, so there's other games out there to buy for the GCN, Game. But then again, I bought SCII four months ago, so eh...

The Link over Sony/Xbox sales don't surprise me, and the GCN version is pretty close to the PS2 version in Japan, so I hear.

All three versions are sure to be system sellers globally, though I'm not too sure about the PS2 version in the US (too much competition, and pretty much the worst version of the game).

-Official Ninja of [coming soon]...

Canyarion · 09-13-2003, 05:24 PM

You forgot Bloody Roar: Primal Fury on the GC. Not that it's any competition but...

I'm really looking forward to the GC version of SC2. I hope they do some advertising in Europe...

Seth · 09-13-2003, 06:10 PM

What about mortal kombat: DA?

Didn't it come out for the cube?
I heard that was a fairly decent game.

SCII
CVS2
MKDarkAlliance
SSBM
Bloody Roar

If you are implying that F-zero is unworthy of purchase than I..well...I...

you >>

<< me

DISS F-zero WILL YOU!

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.
