Capcom Sales

Oh well. Whatever happened to that 'uber awesome exclusivity deal'

I guess Capcom needs to realize just how many games are being released.

Theoretically, if you multiplied the number of GC - PS2 (ie times 8), GC sales would've been about 16 million (if my math is right). But thats a huge theory but at least it gives feasability to the fact that Capcom tries to BS their way out of making it sound like Nintendo is d000000000000000med

Gamecube got Resident Evil 4...that is going to bloat percentages. The other Capcom titles probably sold poorly-moderately

Take away the PS2 Capcom bestseller and GC Capcom bestseller (RE4) and I bet the average is very close if not in the PS2's favor

Hence why I said Theoretically

You may do the math all you want, but Stu said it perfectly. You also have to look at which titles were released.

Capcom could've had 100 titles for the PS2 but only a few could've generated so many sales....RE:Outbreak, Devil May Cry 4, Onimusha 3...... And for Gamecube Resident Evil 4 and Viewtiful Joe titles sloped the percentage.

You listed three PS2 games that could have "generated so many sales," but only two GCN games that sloped the figures...

/me shrugs and walks away

I guess you guys dont understand percentages...

if 2 out of 5 games are, say, 2 million sellers and the rest are 100,000, the percentage is going to much higher than:

if 3 out of 40 games are 2 million sellers and the rest are even say, 300,000

It's not me thats not understanding.

Sony can ship 100 HDTV's to Circuit City and 50 HDTV's to Target. Say Sony reports a big sales boost from CC and a decline in Target.

But in CC they would have 50" WEGA's and in Target they could have 50" HDTV....

Just because theres more in one, doesn't mean thats the reason for the sale....It matters what's on sale too.

Yea, so. I could say the exact same thing about the PS2. "The PS2 got (Insert popular game here). Thats going to bloat percentages"

I dont see how its any different.
