Super Smash Bros. Melee sold more than Devil May Cry 1,2,3...COMBINED!

DMC 1 --- 2.77 million

DMC 2 --- 1.69 million

Total ---6.08 million 

SSBM--- 6.58 million

http://vgchartz.com/worldcons.php

PS2s --- 117.89 million

GCs  ---   21.59 million

PS2s outsold GCs by more than 5.46 times.  Yet, SSBM outsells DMC1,2,3 COMBINED!  The funniest part of this ownage is Twilight Princess for Wii has already sold more than every DMC game. :lol:  Wii has an install base of 7.09 million right now compared to 117.89 million PS2s.  Yet, Wii has a game already that has beaten every DMC in sales. :lol:

TP is one of the worst selling Nintendo Zelda's ever in Japan...and it still has beaten all DMC game sales worldwide in 6 months time period.  Even Wii Play has sold more than every DMC game.  There are a few Mario Party games that have outsold all DMC games. 

Cows, you have been overhyping how popular this franchise is for years.  Yes, DMC franchise is popular, but it IS NOT NEARLY as popular as you have made it sound.  And BTW cows...do you really think DMC4 will sell a lot on PS3, seeing as the install base is going to be much nearly as high as PS2, and the game is now multiplat?

Cow excuses

1. PS2 has so many great games and it is hard to have a franchise as popular as Halo and SSBM. 

2. Gamecube and Xbox had few great titles, so of course Halo and SSBM were wildly popular and this explains why it sold more than DMC 1,2,3 combined. 

Yes, PS2 had a lot of great games.  There 117.89 million PS2s in homes.  If a PS2 game is great, cows will buy it.  GTA: San Andreas sold 14.88 million on PS2.

SHeep should never bring in sales OF ANY SORT to an argument between GC and PS2.

DMC1 and 3 is better than the entire Smash Bro's series... COMBINED!

Yes, PS2 had 100s more games than Gamecube...yet GTA:SA sold 14.88 million on PS2 anyway.  If there is a game a cow wants, then he/she buys the game.  It is that simple.  It really doesn't matter how many games there are on a system.  If your argument were true, then PC games should never have a million seller because PCs have been around for many, many years and have TONS of games...If someone wants a game badly enough, he/she will buy it.  Also, with the HUGE INSTALL BASE PS2 has, it is surprising DMC games didn't sell better.

no. DMC 1 2 and 3 sucked horridly... I hate them.... Play the SSB series with other people and see if that still stands.

No one will listen. I say this alot of times but get flamed.....

i'll take DMC over smash bros any day. smash bros is cool though.

Yeah, and GTA San Andreas sold more than every game last genPS3_FTW

Yes it did...thanx for proving my argument in my initial post.  One of the cow excuses I've heard from posts is that PS2 has so many great titles that it is difficult for just one particular game to become multi-million sellers with so much competition from other great titles in the marketplace.  GTA:SA proves my point that even with a huge install base and 100s of great titles, a franchise can still be a huge mega-hit.

Have any evidence to back up that far fetched claim?

You're using that as ownage?? wow, sheep really have nothin better than sales figures to use, they must be compensating since the ps2 completely distroyed your flopcube.

as for the reason why SSBM sold more, its really simple, the game has a larger fanbase than that of DMC, plus DMC isn't for everyone.

I still fail to see you point, because SSBM sold more does that make DMC bad?? YOU FAIL IN SO MANY WAYS.

So if gamecube sold 100mil you think SSBM would of sold alot more than 6 mill? Possibly but I doubt it would of sold 100mil... games don't sell based on how many consoles have sold.. they sell well based on whoever likes that paticular genre or game duh.  You think all 100million PS2 owners liked hack n slash games?

Another reason why twilight princess sold alot is that the wii had no other good launch games and everybody went ahead and bought that game...Blanco98

Wii came with Wii Sports, a game a lot of people like.  Twilight Princess on Wii was in direct competition from itself from the Gamecube version.  Wii had a launch of more titles than Gamecube had.  There wasn't only 1 or 2 games like N64 at launch.  There were several.  Wii install base IS ONLY 7.09 MILLION.  It has only been out 6 months.  It has already beaten every DMC game in sales.  Super Monkey Ball  is competition.  On Gamecube, that franchise was an over million seller. Wii version got over 8 on GameSpot.  Wind Waker sold much less than expected for a Zelda title, and left a bad taste in a lot of gamers' mouths and turned many people off to Zelda franchise forever.  You make it sound like it was really easy for Twilight Princess to sell so much. 

Dmc isnt that popular...trophylocoste

Someone finally agrees with me that it is not a "mega-hit monster awesome blitzkrieg of ownage on a mass scale".  The way cows have talked about this franchise, I used to believe it was almost as big as Halo...

I hate both those series. I bought DMC3 and I borrowed SSBM recently because I saw how popular they are on these forums. Button mashing junk FTL. Please link to some extra boring youtube videos of both games being played by the "masters" so I can be "pnwed". JiveT

Then you must really hate God of War, don't you?

I never once said DMC was bad.  You just assumed that is what I thought.   And you are wrong in your assumption.  DMC is great IMO.  I just made this post to show the cows that DMC franchise isn't NEARLY AS POPULAR as many of them believe it is.  That was the point of my post.  Yet, I keep getting excuses left and right.  I mean, cows were crying over DMC4 becoming multiplat when it was announced.  Some even went as far as to say that "PS3 iz teh doomed!"  The franchise isn't that popular.

So what if it's not popular, people will buy it and enjoy it regardless of what anyone else might think.. because they like it obviously.. So what is the point of this thread again...  oh your trying to prove to cows that DMC isnt as popular as SSBM... but they already know that... duh... sooo..

That why I have 33 GC games. I would have owned 57 if I were to have all the GC games I wanted. But I don't have the money for it...

The topic creator knows nothing about marketing and economics.

People who bought GC bought it specifically because they were already interested in the mario and nintendo franchises. It just made sense that SSBM, also a launch title, was a must-have game. Same applies with Halo and Xbox. Ppl who bought the x360 are primarily gamers who are into the shooting games. Which made sense that Gears is selling well.

WIth the PS2, the game audience is huge. It spreads to the teen, kids, adults, females, etc. Everyone bought it because some particular games appealed to them. I knew many people who bought PS2 becuz they were into that DDR and karoke stuff. But they werent interesting in anything else.

100 million users arent going to be interested in the same thing.

You're comparing something that has too many variables. Go take an econ class buddy. 

Imagine how much Super Smash Bros Brawl is going to sell on the Wii.

....and it's online! 

That's because the game is a masterpiece. And you know what they say: if you have a gamecube, you have SSBM :POGTiago

Amen, I bought the GC for SSBM, played over... oh what... lets say close to 5 days of gametime on it, and if Brawl was the only game for the Wii, I'd still pay 250$ to get it.

Melee is my favorite Nintendo game of all time.

Wrong.  The Cube only had ONE game worth owning and it wasn't even made by Nintendo:  Resident Evil 4.  The Cube was garbage.

Interesting that the Cube won Three GOTY awards then isn't it.

edit: Here's 12 games that every Gamecube owner must purchase. Notice the distinct lack of Starfox Adventures and Super Mario Sunshine, even though those where both good games.

1. Resident Evil 4
2. Resident Evil Remake/Zero
3. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
4. The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
5. Metroid Prime
6. Metroid Prime 2: Echo's
7. Eternal Darkness: Sanitiys Requiem
8. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year door
9. Tales of Symphonia
10. Fire Emblam: Path of Radiance
11. Super Smash Bros Melee
12. F-Zero GX
13. Ikaruga

Yeah.

DMC ain't a popular series. It's the main reason it went multiplat. Very similar scenario to NG.
