Also other castlevania games that sold over 1 million - Super castlevania(snes), Castlevania 3(nes), Simonn quest(nes), Castlevania (nes)...hell even Bloodlines on genesis most likely sold around a million mark. There jsut isn't any data on this stuff.

when is this site going to add old data like this. i remember when i first started visiting the site there was (incomplete) american charts dating back to around 1994.

any mods know if and when this will happen? i dont want to sound like a moany old git, this site is amazing and i can appreciate its a constant ongoing job updating old and new data alike.

 

I dont think this data will ever be added. It just isn't available. Japan was tracking their sales...but American and Europe don't have sales data for the 8 and 16 bit days. Believe it or not Genesis sold much better in Europe and south american than Snes...and it sold equal as Snes in North America until 1996.

This is why Sega doesn't appear to have many million sellers...they had plenty in reality but no one recorded their sales.
