Pokemon really does keep Nintendo afloat.

I also knew that Acclaim was a mess, but I had no idea they were that bad.




Btw, I thought Halo had sold more than that.

Uh, where are you getting the million seller games from? Those millions you see are the amount of money each game generated. You get the amount of copies it sold from that number.

Lookit those GC Splinter Cell sales. Ouch.

i attribute that to Ubi Soft seeming more happy about the PS2 version than the GC version. All their advertisements scream PS2 and flash a GC logo at the end, if they even do that.

Well... you're almost right. It's not that Ubi Soft is happier about the PS2 version, its that the PS2 market is what, four or five times larger than the GC market? If you're sending out an ad to 100 people, and 15 of them have a PS2, and 3 have a GameCube, who do you want to focus on?

The first number is the projected sales take. It threw me at first too, because the $ appears after the number. The units sold are only for that month, not in total. Xbox only has a handful of million sellers - Halo, Munch's, Project Gotham and probably by now DoA3.
