Am I the only one incredibly impressed with Twilight Princess' sales? It just re-entered the charts in its 277th week. It's the third oldest charting title, the only older are New Super Mario Bros. DS and Mario Kart DS.
The bloody game has been selling more and more in USA every year since 2009 now.
2009: 197,000
2010: 215,000
2011: 313,000
2012: 50,000 so far, in a period in which ~ 18% of total software is sold, meaning it's tracking to sell nearly 300,000 this year too.
Selling more in your 7th year on the market than you did in your 4th and 5th (and possibly 6th) is just ridiculously good, and virtually unheard of. Can you name a single console game that has done that? I can't!
Worldwide, it's passed 8 million, and slowly heading on to 8.5 million now. This game has had a longevity most games could never dare dream of. It's not bundled, it's not advertised, yet somehow it pulls of great numbers year after year.
