Those downloads are not sales.

Neither are most of the Windows games.

I don't mean that they don't come with Windows, I mean that you can get copies without paying for them and they don't factor into the price. I can play every single one of them on Linux using WINE because they are free.

Wow, this is still going on?



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

No matter how you look at it, the source data is dated. August 2008 is before the holiday. Due to the cheap price tag of bejeweled I expect it to have sold millions more.

Bejeweled had been out for four years by the time that was posted. I doubt that it sold an extra 325 million copies in six months.

No, I was meaning I'm expecting it to be over 30 million... not that much.

Still I just thought of something, didnt PopCap say Peggle was their fastest selling game?

Either way, both would still be under Wii Sports.
