Surprised to see Need for Speed Underground 2 so high, I didn't realize it was so popular, even more so than some big games I expected would sell more, like Metal Gear Solid 3 and Metroid Prime 2.

Josh H

Metroid Prime 2 at 29. No wonder there seems to be fewer and fewer games that appeal to me these days. Mainstream tastes just continue to get futher and further from my interests.

darkside

The fact that Mario Party 6 outsold Prime 2 that bad is just depressing.

RyoHazuki

Fear not. Thats So Raven made the top 80.

Chris_D

The discs of all the GTAs and Halos sold so far would fill a very big landfill (halo 1 clocking up another 150k that month)...

The figure for KOTOR2 is probably a bit disappointing but I imagine that one will continue to sell ok for the next few months.

tanman

Looking at that list really tells you the sales might of the mainstream dollar. It seems to mostly consist of "mainstream" gamers with GTA and Halo and kiddie gamers with Spongebob and The Incredibles.

No wonder there is so much crap on the GBA, it sells like crazy.

mr.snowmizer

I don't know how you came to that conclusion. LucasArts executives probably broke open some champagne when those numbers came in.

Decker

I agree. Remember also that KOTOR 2 came out mid-December (Dec 7th actually), so those sales don't really reflect a whole month, either. Likewise, most of those A-list titles had their huge sales in November, so that may distort the total sales of Metroid Prime 2. Still, those sales are shockingly low.

I agree also about NFS Underground 2. Can't believe it's selling that well; I heard almost zero buzz about it. Since it's the #8 game on Live, it's hard to believe it's #2 in sales, but I guess it is. No wonder EA is so powerful, whatever they throw out to the masses seems to sell like hotcakes (well, except The Urbz).

Another suprise : No DOA Ultimate on the list. I thought that had sold pretty well. Guess not.

No PC numbers? Bah. World of Warcraft would have been #6 or so.

I believe NPD has alwyas only tracked console numbers.
