And the list goes on. Numbers climbed everywhere. Did I miss a big announcement on this one?



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

im guessing it was cause of the whole 72 million sellers (shipped) thing



Stof you're a mod... just ask Brett or someone and they will probably tell you the cause.

I do remember there were some leaked NPD number not too long back, but I don't think these games were included so ???

That doesn't really make for much of a thread. I kind of just wanted to be able to talk about all the new numbers. Table Tennis was one hell of a jump up.

That list makes me cringe.

I'd guess that some titles did not have EU numbers, which were now added.

In which case, there has already been a thread... I think 11ht11 made it about 3-4 days ago.

I believe I PMed you a few weeks back telling you Excite Truck was probably almost a 1 million seller... or it might have been another mod.

 



So this brings the number of potential million sellers to what now?



Pacman taught people to run around in dark rooms munching on pills while listening to repettive techno music and for that I somewhat idolise him.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 was also adjusted up past the million mark, which is great to see. In fact, we saw six Wii games pass the million mark with the week's updates (Three through adjustments and three through weekly sales).

Next week we could see two more titles reach one million sold: Endless Ocean and Monster 4x4. Until then, we play the waiting game.

Oh, and I'm loving the updates. There's still plenty of missing data, but with Brett pushing VGChartz at full steam, this site is only getting better and better.

Well, Nintendo says there are 72 games which have shipped a million, so I suppose that's how many games are potential million-sellers right now.

In response to the OP: Behold the power of the bargain bin! Us Wii owners loves our cheap games, we does.
