Damn.  If Bloodwake is outselling Smash Bros, I think it\'s a hint that Nintendo needs to change its advertising strategies.

The cube-mercials were neat at first, but they\'re no longer anything special.  Look at ads for games like NFL Fever, FFX, or GTA3.  Nintendo needs to step it up.

Releasing some more games would help, too. :)

GC has potential it just needs the games now

it wont fade away there will be something out there will pull in sales every month or so - but i dont expect it to be a big system or anything - it wont have a huge library of games like other systems but the library it will have in years to come will consist of a better ratio of good to bad when you compare it to the other systems

Max Payne sold more on XBox than PS2!!!! Crazy! I guess retailers finally told people whats up about that crappy PS2 port!

I remember last list people were saying how high SSBM was (even though it was still pretty new) It really dropped like a rock since the only thing out new past that is Courtside (ehhh) and Universal Studios (blecch).

Booya Nintendo, Booya!

What else is amazing is GTA3 is still NUMBER 1!!!

Patience Nintendo fans, patients.  Good things come to those who wait.

I wish Nintendo would bring Animal Forest+, and Doshin over here.  Anybody know if we\'re getting Animal Leader?

Nintendo\'s most popular game is "The Waiting Game".

But these are only US sales.  So it\'s 8 million PS2s vs 1.5 million Xboxes.  These games sales match the console sales almost exactly.

Why is that they have the most games out of both xbox and gcn combined. Plus they been out longer and have millions of more console in homes.

more idiots..

you know when a console launches...how you dont have any variety of games, or choices or any previous games you own...so therefore...you are pretty much FORCED to buy the games on offer

1.5 million XBox\'s sold...which means about 1.5 million people buy Halo...1.5 million people buy Project Gotham etc etc.

with PS2 you have choice...CHOICE!  you have other games you already own, you have spent previous monies\' on other games, or on your new XBox..

with XBox you have to buy the launch games otherwise you have no games to play

:rolleyes:  next time think..

Yep, very much like N64. They consistently had top selling games. Why? Well, with the lack of choices and lack of new games, even mediocre games sold well. Plus, N64 owners were starved into buying whatever game came out.

Anyone ever played Superman 64? Why is it that Superman had to literally fly through those rings in the air to get to his rescue point? :rolleyes: Terrible game. Great sales though.

Xbox doesn\'t have as many games to choose from compared to PS2. So there\'s gonna be some top selling games there. Not bad games either....unlike N64 back in the day.

Because discussion of Superman 64 is critical for the progression of this topic.......  I\'d like to clear that one up. :)

If you played Superman 64 on Easy those rings weren\'t there and that made those flying levels so simple they were practically pointless.  Putting in the rings gave a purpose to the flying and, in my opinion, made those levels fun.

While the other levels were leaps behind, they still offered at least a solid premise and for these things I can say that I enjoyed Superman 64.  I always like to point that out when I can, because I\'m not afraid to admit it! ;]

Then again, I didn\'t pay for the game, so maybe it\'s that the price was right...

What?! Jak and Daxter at number 20!?

It\'s those terrible Jak and Daxter adverts that are casuing it, I bet. I mean, they don\'t even (hardly) mention the actual game!



Oh....no GameCube games in there....Nintendo should really get its head outta its arse. Even X-Box games, and PSone games are in there.
