That fourth game listed is not for the NGC.  I think MM listed it to show that it scored higher than all of those NGC games.  And are you sure there are only 3 launch games MM?

For your information, according to several videogame webs, in the NGC launch have been sold about 290,000 consoles: 3 times less than PS2.

Hm. Those are impressive scores to be sure, especially coming from the stingy Famitsu.  But none of those games look terribly exciting to me.  The cutesy, big headed characters don\'t cut it for me anymore.

Although, I\'ll play it eventually and probably love it so what does anything that I have said matter?

SNK vs capcom is a 2nd generation game guys...No ****, its going to get a higher score. Adan, you genious you, Nintendo didnt go around claiming there machine good make milk and cookies, of course it didnt sell as well at the ps2 at launch. Geesh.

Um, ps2 only had 4 launch games in japan.

umm, look at your second to last post.
That kind of crap is not tolerated around here. Blatant insults are reserved solely for me and Jumpman.

lighten up, 3 games is just that, 3 games. None of which interest me at all. If they had some more, or some more third party games, it could have sold better.

I think even DC sold 260k at launch.

Jetgrind, there is something you don\'t seem to understand.  The NGC is not competing with first generation PS2 games, it is competing with the PS2 games that are coming out right now.  Go ahead and defend the NGC and its launch games all you want, but remember that as long as the PS2 has better games coming out, the PS2 will be a better system.

And Famitsu doesn\'t grade games on what generation they are.  It got a better score because it is a better game in their oppinions, not because it is second generation.  The NGC is supposed to be reletively easy to program for, so that "second generation vs first generation" argument is irrelevant.

I seem to remember a time when PS2 fans were pissing and moaning that the less-than-stellar PS2 launch games were being compared to 2nd and 3rd gen DC software.  All you are doing is being hippocrits on the matter.

I am a PS2 fan, but I didn\'t make up excuses why others thought the games were less than stellar.  I loved the launch games, so I didn\'t have to make up excuses like that.

I should have known there would be a **** load of sony fanboys here...The PS2 only launched with 4 games in Japan. So why are you *****ing the cube only has 3? And the 3 that cube has have better scores that what the ps2 had to offer at launch.

Iron Fist, i know the PS2 is going to have better software. Im just getting a little irritated at all these anti Nintendo threads. Fear, perhaps?

These aren\'t anti-Nintendo threads. These are reasonable everyday threads.

You ain\'t seen nothing yet in terms of anti-Nintendo.

BTW, the sony fanboys are in the Main Forum, in here we are all console fanboys.

Where the hell is Shenmue II, ignoarant public ignores a great title for some pretty stupid looking games.

Good for Nintendo. Every launch has games in the top ten, it is without fail.

Well it makes sense that all of the launch games would be on the daily top ten software sales list. All of the sudden there are 300,000 new consoles on the market, and there should be a comparable amount of games for them. Particularly since there were only three launch titles (only one of them which was any good IMO).

I mean, what are people supposed to do with their consoles, watch DVD\'s?! :p
