Isnt ToS like at 350k something in NA now?

Has it surpassed Xeno 2?

Thanks to the archiving of all the numbers on this board i looked into it. We don't have numbers for as far back as July 2004 (Was the board started after then or something? Board erasing maybe?) Anyway, as of June 2005, Xenosaga Ep 2 has sold 141,821 copies, so ToS has at least doubled it.

Why is Xbox so expensive to develop for?

argon said:
Why is Xbox so expensive to develop for?

Well, if you ignore the skew introduced by comparing a sample of 11 to a sample of 190, it could possibly be explained by the fact that the xbox was advertised as being technologically advanced. In order to make a game that appeals to the same audience as was buying the game to begin with, they step it up a notch.

But I doubt that really impacts things to that degree. Most likely it's just a poor sample.

Well bh4 probably outsold it by now. And then there's the PS2 version, too.

That said, FIle 2's not SO bad. I've invested 45 hours online.

And see avatar.

That Capcom info. is amazingly old (not denouncing the poster of it) just saying for general knowledge. It was released to the public March 31st. Thus that information is dated back to then.

BH4 probably surpassed RE:Outbreak 2 in Japan (even if little)...that is if the used game market isn't --that-- bad.

And I agree with the user who's overly obsessed with Resident Evil, RE:Outbreak 2 is not a bad game at all for those who have a Sony HDD.

Sony HDD + Playing with fellow GAFers/IGNers/FAQers + Tolerance of oldschool RE gameplay = Fun online experience.

And get this...hardly any pricks on RE:Outbreak 2. It's social structure is like the antithesis of Halo 2 online.

According to Nintendo, the DS has achieved total sales of around 6 million to date, compared to 4.26 million for the PSP.

That's only for NPD+Media Create through the end of October, it doesn't count any other territory.

It's as of the end of June and it's been up for a very long time. I'm waiting for them to update that chart to as of the end of the last quarter (end of September).
