      Excellent news for basketball gaming fans.

      I think they marketed the game much better this season.

      Example: here in OZ, they normally have the game out months late and, even then, one or two copies on the shelf somewhere way out back.

      This year...they had the game out the same day as the USA...and the shelves were packed with the game / posters up / game located right in the middle of the display area.

            NBA2k9 is the best marketing game ever for T2. Make a quality game add quality marketing equal to higher game sales. T2 use this formula with your football game.

            Peace

              I bought Live this year and am happy with it. I passed on 2k for the 1st time since I saw Live going down the toilet after 04.

              Competition is a wonderful thing. IT creates quality products, and happy consumers.

              There wasnt a bad choice of hoops games this year, and I simply chose the one I liked better. That's all that really matters.

                Indeed, I was pleasantly surprised to casually walk into a JB Hi Fi on the 9th and finding the game right there, with plenty of boxes on display and a poster. They had it advertised for the 10th, and I was considering importing because of their previous history as you noted, so it was pretty awesome.

                On topic: this is great news, but not totally unexpected since the shift in sales had started since 2k7 if I'm not mistaking. However, it is a surprise to see the game in the top sale charts considering all the awesome games coming out in these months, so congrats. I am enjoying 2k9 more than any other basketball game before, so I hope they continue to set the bar high in the future. Although the online stuff is inexcusable, they really need to sort these issues out pronto.

                  I haven't bought 2k this year yet, don't know if I will because I'm pretty happy with Live, but congrats to 2k Sports!

                  First played the game on the Dreamcast (2k1, 2k2? can't remember), and I felt that it was something special. It's nice to see them rise from that point on and eventually overtake the competition in terms of sales. As a Business Management/Economics major, I can truly appreciate that.

                      Nice to see 2k reaching some success, especially after what happened with NCAA b-ball.

                          Did this game also dominate in returns?

                              Nice to see 2k win the sales battle. Hopefully this means the competition will continue.

                                that is so not true! 2K5 Football, NCAA 2K8...I can go on and on...that's like saying the best lyricist will have the most sales...If that's the case G-Rap would be DIAMOND (10x Platinum).
