Wow, this shows a lot of who is buying from you. 360 and DVD sales are annihilating every thing else. Keep the train rolling.

[AlphaQ GehaD]

this is awesome, after the expected outcome of dvd/360 media being number 1 the other percents tell you a lot.

right after the PS3 you would think regular PSP or PS1 but nope its N64, the multiplayer madness. I broke this out yesterday at a house that only had COD4 on CPU and we played some Mario Kart and Smash Bros. What surprises me is the Dreamcast so far down. I wouldn't mind finding a copy of some of those games, Such as UFC or Royal Rumble...and Blu-Ray is doing pathetic. Im a check Cool Stuff for some Dreamcast titles. hope they are cheap like $5

Good Job guys

[AZRaiderH8r]

Good stuff guys! Wow, the PS3 titles are really hopping off the shelves, huh?

I want to know who is responsible for the .01% of IntelliVision sales. That's awesome!

[Lord Geoff]

It is pretty crazy Alpha, because many people that come in have never heard of the DreamCast. When we had demos running, people were surprised that it was a year older than the PS2, due to the quality of the graphics for the time. It was awhile before anything other than first party Sony games were able to match it.

The original Xbox seemed to me to be the natural progression from the DreamCast. As I recall, the DC ran on a modified Windows CE OS. Also, I think that including the HDD in the Xbox would have been the only thing keeping MS from expanding upon some of the cool ideas relating to the VMU. That was an often overlooked aspect of the system.

With the screen on your memcard, you could see your hit % in Ready 2 Rumble boxing, your health on Resident Evil and pick your plays in private on some sports games. It was great innovation on Sega's part. And online gaming? They were truly ahead of their time.

Congrats Guys!!! Hope 2008 is even better!!! But, ColecoVision? seriously?

I am surprised that the Cube outsold the DS, makes no sense

Cube games are cheaper, tend to rotate out better and are being purchased by Wii and Cube owners. I imagine that there are some Wii owners that just want to sit down and play a game with more depth from time to time, instead of waving their arms for motion control that critics say feels "shoehorned" into a quickly pieced together game.

That is not a critique about the system, but rather about the third party developers that jumped on the gravy train with the Wii. As is usual for Nintendo systems, it seems like the best titles for the Wii will come from Nintendo.

Yeah the Dreamcast is sweet, I have like 6 VMU's and 2 of them are black. The Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 saves a mini game on there as well, so you can play and get exp for your character. I also have HOUSE of the Dead 2 with 2 guns.

If you ever get in a Copy of UFC, The Wrestling game, and Power Stone 1-2 for Dreamcast Please let me know, I would most likely want to take it off your hands.
