Not to bad for 2 old school titles.
But then again, the competition is not very
strong.

Wow. That's pretty cool^^ I wonder what KOF would have sold like if it were on the PS2.

sweet!

Nomax · Jun 21, 2003

Still a DC game in the top 10 while Sega of America & Sega Europe think it's a dead system... :rolleyes:

Hey guys, open your eyes!!! eye eye

JHendrix · Jun 21, 2003

Yeah ports TOTALLY don't sell... oh_no

OrochiEddie · Jun 21, 2003

I don't know whether to laugh or party....

smokey · Jun 21, 2003

What I keep asking myself is Why didn't SNK/Playmore port Metal Slug to the Dreamcast,why only fighters

its funny that these so called 'inferior ports' sell 10x more in their first week than the entire run of the homecart

Well obviously. :rolleyes:

I mean look at the price difference. Only the hardest of the core is going to purchase the original ngh versions.

Yeah ports TOTALLY don't sell...

tickled

These stats prove that ports give playmore a good source of income.

More ports
=
More money (for playmore)
=
More games for my neo glee

Yes but only the hardest of the core buy the originals. tickled

Plus just look at the amount made. There are so many more copies of the ports created than of the home carts. So like I said obviously the port is going to sell more. Just because it sells more doesnt mean its of the same quality or better than the neo version. :rolleyes:

Which you seem to be implying.

sha-v · Jun 23, 2003

KOF 2002 is selling well. Something about 16.000 pcs where produced. MS3 is doing bad. About 45.000 pcs were produced.

@Sonic 10times? Maybe you should watch the japanese NeoGeo Home KOF 2002 sales figures more exactly.

After the first week something about 6200 pcs were sold. By the way, the figures above are from the first day.

Shapermc · Jun 23, 2003

What the crap!?!?

Did The Matrix do really well in Jp. or something? I know that it was not the game play that people bought Enter the Matrix for.

rugal2000 · Jun 23, 2003

It would be great if ( and I know its crazy) Playmore bought dreamcast...and made cd conversions of new games and maybe sega could still put out some stuff every now and than as well as other jap 3rd parties

And hopefully more Dreamcast ports for me

Ok I'm dreaming, it doesn't look like happening :o

There is definitely some irony in these Neo Games being ported onto technologically superior systems where they sell well.

They simply are great games. Port or not, they simply rock.
