Hardware Charts
Console - Weekly Sales - Total 2001 Sales

Gamecube - 129,377 / (428,788)
PS2 - 37,381 / (2,737,297)
GBA - 31,083 / (3,516,216)

This graph is a little deceptive, so make sure you look at the numbers and not just the graph:

And this pie graph shows just how much butt kicking the NGC did during this week:


Very impressive for that week, but how long will it keep up like this?  This one game is going to have to support the NGC for probably about half a year until Mario and Zelda come out.  And remember, next week\'s charts are when the PS2\'s price is dropped to $240 and when MGS2 is released.  Then we will see if Super Smash Bros Melee has any staying power, or if it will be overthrown by MGS2 (from what I\'ve heard, MGS2 sold around 500,000 copies in 4 days in Japan.  But I still want to wait for the Famitsu charts).  This is going to be interesting...

Ugh - I\'m disgusted that Rez sold so little. Poor SEGA. :(

I heard Rez gameplay = Panzer Dragoon, which in my mind means instant classic :-) I also heard the game\'s visuals are very immersive!

that translates to me importing this gem!

Im with alterd on this one, Rez looks like my style of game.  From what I have read is that  it is supposed to be VERY innovative. The game is hard to describe but looks really cool. The main reason why I am interested in the game is because of the music, fresh gameplay and stylish visuals

;)

But will it ever have a PAL release

NO no... according to SCE, PS2 has sold in the last week of November 105.000 units due to the price drop of the console. I can put a link but it\'s in spanish. That\'s wrong... at least the results are very different in other webs.

Yeah, about a month ago Famitsu started waiting 2 weeks to post the stats instead of one week.  This will give them more time to collect data and will hopefully make the stats more accurate.
