Some people will complain about a perfect day being too perfect.

Interesting numbers. Slow and steady wins the race.

I am sure this thread will draw some hate from people. But whatever.

Very nice examples majin

There are many more examples but these show why the whole 'Nintendo legs/evergreen' sales pattern isn't just some fanboy protection device.

Kung Fu Panda (360)

First Week - 16k

LTD - 2.82m (Most likely due to bundling though)

Sega Superstars Tennis (360)

First Week - 21k

LTD - 1.98m (Another bundle)

SingStar (PS3)

First Week - 55k

LTD - 0.82m

Just a quick go through, but from what I've seen I'd probably say not really. It would help if we could define how much a game has to sell to not be considered low first.

Kingdom Hearts 3 Bet: If Kingdom Hearts 3 becomes a multiplaform title/is not Wii exclusive then I will be banished from this land for 1 week and sing my praises to those who have proved themselves to be more intelligent than I.http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/RDBRaptor/rdbraptor_sig16.jpg%5B/IMG%5D">

They happen on the HD consoles. It's just a lot more common on the Wii and DS.

What is interesting of the five examples on HD consoles listed

Two were bundles (which skews things)
Two were casual games -- more like those found on the Wii.
One was a traditional game -- Uncharted.

I am Mario.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

I thought about including the Call of Duty series, but while it has insane legs, it also has solid launches on the HD consoles. I'm sure more examples could be found.
