Yes, but I'm a games player. I'm not bothered about sales figures, I like to play games, if it's a crap game then I'm not gonna be happy. Do you work for Microsoft or something?
Anyway all the big Ninty 1st party titles have outsold Brute Force by a long shot.

Starfox yes, but that was made by Rare. Not sure what you're talking about with the rest though, they were all great games, some were a little short lived but while they lasted they were great fun to play.
The thing is though, the games you listed are hardly the best of Nintendo's 1st party titles. Where as Brute Force supposedly is, pretty embarasssing really.

Yet again, I don't care about Nintendo or Microsoft's sales. They're all big company's who's finances matter very little to me. I'm a games player, I play games, I don't keep up to date on the sotcks and shares and comings and goings of console manufacturers. I'm after quality games and quality exclusives, which Xbox and PS2 are very lacking of. Xbox has some great games, but nothing has ever wowed me in the way that Nintendo 1st party releases have.
Xbox only has one killer ap by the name of Halo, and even that IMO is stupidly overrated.
Oh and XBox hasn't got the 'important' sales as you put it, once again you make things up as you go along.

Actually, Luigi's Mansion and Mario Party 4 are great, their only problems are thier length. Wario World is pretty good, too, although not great. StarFox is pretty crap, though.

They're taking pre-orders on The Getaway 2.
Nuff said.

Besides, it's Game, hardly the most competent of sites is it ? I mean, why oh why would anyone preorder Halo 2 this early ? Last big title that was actually in short supply in proper stores was Vice City on PS2 at release, (and Skies of Arcadia / Ikaruga), something like Halo 2, Half Life 2 etc all stores will have tons...

Brute Force's chart position says different, I think it's crap, but it sold, sales is what it is all about and why Nintendo has problems. Besides, Nintendo has it's fair share of toss as well - Warioland ? Starfox ? Mario Party 4 ? NBA Courtside ? Luigi's Mansion - an example of graphics over game anyday ?
Ultimately, MS and Sony have the wide range of developer support and the all important sales - unlike Nintendo.

Click on 'spotted an error?' and write; "this game does not exist (in PAL form)".
Yeah Ive already got it on import - its graet for the first cuople of days but its repetitive nature becomes dull. Also it's annoying that if you dont play on it for a while your village becomes an absolute wreck with weeds and villagers moving in/out.
Nope, Animal Crossing won't be coming out here. No worry though, it's not as good as you'd expect it to be.
Fun for a while, but shallow and repetetive game play soon grate on your nerves.
