(ignoring Mario & Sonic - as its a special case)

(etc..)

Be interesting to compare to some of the 3rd-party PS3 & 360 titles (apart from the obvious smash hits, such as Assassins & CoD...)

People might be able to read the numbers now :P

RE:UC looks like it has got close to its lifetime (shipment) target - after just 5 weeks. Very nice, Capcom must be happy!

Boogie has sold 200k? Didn't know that. =/

The big surprise hit of 2007 is Carnival games. Is anyone gonna deny that? It must have cost only 100k to make and it may outsell Ratchet and Clank!



Avinash_Tyagi on 19 December 2007

third party games would do fine on the Wii, its just that most third party games are garbage

 

which is why Ninty titles sell far more

I think Boogie has sold a lot more than that in Europe, it's been on the charts around here ever since release.

 It came out of left field all right. The initial reaction was dirision, and now people are trying to figure out how it sold so well. Even when compared to other casual/party titles, the appeal is mystifying.

 Aren't these just the North American numbers though? For Boogie it doesn't show any European data, just NA.

 I had the misfortune of playing Carnival Games the other day, and while I went into it with an open mind I have to say that it's complete garbage.  A few of the games are tolerable, a couple are actually fun, but many of them are utter crap and I'm glad I wasn't the one that forked over $20 for it 

I can see why it appeals to people; budget title, a setting that just BEGS for minigame conversion, etc.  However I wonder how many people are still playing it a week after the purchase
