Forums - Microsoft Discussion - How many 360 will be sold during Ninja Gaiden 2 release???

They should have just called it "Gaiden 2" and I'd be so much more in a hurry to be all over it xD

I can't believe the only reason I HATE that series is because Ryu's a shitty ninja ;/

I uploaded another high score and the list is now at 46,000. So unless there are multiple profiles on a single box, that makes at least 46,000 sold. It is moving along. I was sitting about halfway up in terms of karma.

mygamercard has 30,000 users having played NG2. Last night when I first played the game (about 8PM EST) their number was at 18,000. Actual owners of a game are usually around 4 to 7 times mgc's number. So anywhere from 120,000 - 210,000 copies sold thus far.

Where do they get their data from? I can take a picture of the screen where the leaderboards have over 46,000.



mygamercard gets their data from people that have a mygamercard account, have played the game and connected to xbox live. 2.1 million 360 users have a mgc account. Obviously not every 360 user has a mgc account or online capabilities. But as I said before, most of mgc's numbers for retail games can be multiplied by 4 to 7 times and that's usually in range with vgchartz sales numbers. For example: 1,360,643 mgc users have played Halo 3. vgchartz has Halo 3 at 7.8 million sales, that's about 6 times mgc's number. NG2 up to 35,126 at the moment. So, 140k to 245k is most likely the range for the game's sales. Although early mgc numbers for a week or so after a game's release lag a bit because: 1. not everyone that actually bought the game has played it and 2. some people only periodically connect to live.



Well when I uploaded my score for clearing the 1st level a little while ago, there were +67K entries on there. Though since not everybody bothers to upload their scores/are connected to XBL the amount of owners should be higher than that.
