rustyjaw Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Hmm, not easy to judge given that the PSP hardware didn't come out until the 24th. This is interesting: PSP SPIDER-MAN:THE MOVIE2 $1,970,245 40,145 Why buy this? Is there a way to get a U.S. PSP without it? Or is this the official name of the game? EDIT: it must be the game since it is the only Spider-Man on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 That's the name of the game, those sales are the game sales. Congrats to PSP owners for not buying the $50 games by & large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Daddy Bling Bling Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 I think Ridge Racer sales are low due to poor supply. The game was very hard to find after launch, whereas I saw piles and piles of games like Wipeout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChoiceStriker Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Sorry I haven't been keeping up with all the PSP news - Brian, which games were $50? All the EA titles, looks like... Honestly, I wasn't even aware any of them were above $40. Yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan B. Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Here's a Reuter's news report including PSP hardware numbers: U.S. video game sales up 32 pct in March -analysts Fri Apr 15, 2005 11:44 AM ET LOS ANGELES, April 15 (Reuters) - Video game sales rose 32 percent in the United States in March, analysts said on Friday, noting Sony Corp's top-selling "Gran Turismo 4" racing game as well as an improved supply of console hardware. Citing figures from market researchers NPD Group, analysts also said Sony Corp.'s (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research) new PlayStation Portable handheld gaming unit sold 620,000 units of hardware in the month and 1.1 million pieces of software. The PSP was released on March 24. By comparison, Nintendo Co. Ltd.'s (7974.OS: Quote, Profile, Research) DS dual-screen handheld has sold 428,000 units this year, analysts said, quoting NPD. The DS, which costs $100 less than the PSP, launched last year. The supply of Sony's PlayStation 2 console continued to improve, analysts said, with 495,000 sold in the month, compared with 227,000 units of Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) Xbox and 94,000 units of Nintendo's GameCube. Microsoft has acknowledged the Xbox is in short supply, which some retailers fear may continue through the year as the company prepares to launch its next-generation console, most likely around the holidays. "Gran Turismo 4" led game sales in the month, with more than 532,000 units sold, followed by the value-priced "MVP Baseball 2005" from Electronic Arts Inc. (ERTS.O: Quote, Profile, Research) at just under 338,000 units. Most analysts expect U.S. software sales to grow about 5 percent in 2005, driven by growing sales for handheld devices like the PSP and DS.

JFo Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 No love for the Cube. They're practically giving the things away at $99. I can't believe sales aren't better. I can. It's not as if Nintendo has given gamers many reasons to invest in a Cube the last month. Compare the Cube releases this month with that of the PS2 and Xbox, and you'll understand why nobody is buying it. At this point, I don't even think the new Zelda is going to be of much help. Too little, too late I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
