Re: NBA 2K11 Overtakes Halo: Reach in U.S. Charts

It looks like it only tracks amazons number, this is no where near accurate. The vast majority of people buy at brick and mortar stores.

Data for "Saling The World" comes courtesy of the public sales information on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and Amazon.co.jp, with sales split out for each platform and territory, and pre-orders disregarded. This results in a true sense of what games are selling worldwide on the real-time updated service, as follows:

this is *HUGE*

Sports games are niche-games and really what this means is that

people are picking up NBA2K11 regardless whether or not they are sports fans.. simply put, casual gamers and GAMERS in general are buying NBA2K11

couldn't be happier for 2k sports..

and you guys thought I was insane for going nuts on 2K11 Twitter Trending non-stop for a week now..

TRENDING is the pulse of the world folks..

if you trend, it's a big big BIG deal because it means everyone is talking about you

that is the power of twitter

trending is the PULSE of the world

great job 2K SPORTS!!

Cmon Take Two hire some members of the Halo Development Team and get that online cranking the way it should be.....it would take the game to another level.

This really doesn't surprise me, the classic teams appeal to an older generation of fans. For God's sake I have my dad (who hasn't played a video game since Live 95) playing because of the 94-95 Knicks.

Good news for bball game fans.

Loving both Reach and 2K11.

This is the first time in a looong time a sports game has seriously eaten into my halo time.

Both awesome games.

Cause gamespot is avid 2k non believers...trust me!..from over the years. They have always been like this,and don't know about real sports

Yeah this is hilariously misleading, but only because it's just Amazon numbers. I mean Dirt 2 dropped to $14.99 and it's #5 all of a sudden. I hope 2K11 ends up being #1 overall for everywhere in October but those numbers obviously won't be available anytime soon.

Not surprising as this is perhaps the best basketball game mankind has ever created!

Whether its misleading or not I'm just impressed that 2K Basketball is even mentioned in the same conversation as Halo in terms of sales numbers. That was NEVER the case before. It goes to show that the 2K team has put out a good product and consumer purchases are showing it.
