Forums - Sales Discussion - The Legs List for Week Ending 31st October 2008

Last week I created the first "Legs List." I'd arbitrarily chosen 6 weeks or older as my cut off because of the rash of recently released games.

If I want to do this more than once, however, I should come up with a slightly more thought-out standard; real legs are probably longer than 6 weeks. So: from now on, The Legs List will show the Top 50 games making the Worldwide Chart that are in their 13th week/4th month of release or longer: 

1. Wii Sports (Wii)

2. Wii Fit (Wii)

3. Mario Kart Wii (Wii)

4. Wii Play (Wii)

6. Grand Theft Auto IV (360)

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Worldwide (All Regions), per VGChartz' data.

No surprise to see Nintendo on the top of that list, amazing legs all around for Wii and DS.

One problem... 13 weeks is 3 months Unless you meant IN their 4th month, in which case sorry, I misread

Oh and neither GTAIV nor GT5p would be in their without Japan... (GTA just released and GT5 bundled) how odd.

 Hmm... I'd given that some thought, & here's my rationale:

1st Month: 1 - 4 weeks

2nd Month: 5 - 8 weeks

3rd Month: 9 - 12 weeks

4th Month: 13 - 16 weeks

I figure that 13th is 4th Month, 1st week... but I can see how it might be confusing, so I won't mention 4th month from now on.



Wow, PS3 games have no legs....they all just hover around the 10,000 mark



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

Well tbh I prefer lunar months over calendar months, it makes things much simpler. (13 months in a year all with 28 days/4 weeks) but when people think of month it generally means calendar month, which can make it confusing about how many weeks are in it.
