Do you want bought or currently own?

Whether you bought it, doesn't matter if you no longer have it.

I updated the list, check again quickly. Next time there will be a cut off just to collate data, not a permanent cutoff - and new sets of games to look at in version 2 etc.
Are you data gathering for other companies, GG? 
These are the ones I purchased:
- Bioshock
- Dark Souls 1
- L.A. Noire
- Little Kings Story
- New Super Mario Bros Wii
- New Super Mario Bros U
- Pikmin 3
- Rayman Origins
- Rayman Legends
- Twilight Princess
Oh and I forgot about Twilight Princess, so I've updated my list.

Thought it'd be fun looking at the microcosm instead of always on massive markets. I'm not going to put your names or anything by the games to show ownership or anything. Just a number to see what sold here or not.

What I have from that list. WW is the GC version.
I'll add everything up by say Wednesday evening so if you haven't posted yet, do it soon. This will be interesting, if a game has only sold 2 copies here or less I would say it's niche. 5 or more is a sales success. Over that a blockbuster

This will be pretty cool, we can use this thread to make our own analysis of statistics like COD ownership or favourite genres, franchise sales.

I don't understand the reasoning behind what games were chosen, and am probably posting too late...but what the hey!
aspro said:and bioshock2
LOL, forgot that game exists.
Okay stop voting for the moment, I'll tally this up.
You'll have a chance to add your purchase to the existing and new list later.
Also shout out with any games you think should be on the list. I might not include games no one bought or only include glaring omissions that no one bought that are high profile.

Archangel3371 said:Yeah I was wondering why Bioshock 2 was missing. Which Metal Gear Solid Collection is that? There was the HD Collection with 2 and 3 for PS3 and 360 and there is the Legacy Collection for PS3 only with all Metal Gear games. I have both. Why are there games that haven't been released yet on the list?
There's no rhyme or reason behind the games. On a boring Sunday afternoon I just listed whatever came into my head at the time. I can't do a full and complete list all at once, too much work. So this way I can add to it bit by bit, from whatever pops into my head.
I meant the HD collection.
The unreleased games are just place holders but some are marking them down as purchased, which I guess is okay if you are 100% cert but I'd prefer leaving them till they are actually bought.
Okay the first run of data has been collected. What can we see? Analysis time
- Bioshock is a huge seller here, probably the game which sold the most... so far
- 360 games like Condenmed and Kameo did well, probably because they were launch games
- Demons Souls outsold Gears of War 1!
- Gears of War sales show a downward trend across the series
- God of War 3 sold twice as much as Ascension
- Everybody who bought GTA 4 also bought all or one of the expansions
- Halo sales remain strong across all titles
- L.A. Noire did pretty well IMO with sales nearing or equaling a single Halo game
- Mass Effect buyers stayed loyal and seemed to want to complete the whole trilogy for the most part
- NSMB Wii and DS are the best performing NSMB titles the Wii version almost matching huge Bioshock sales with 8 copies sold. Sales of the 3DS and U versions are exactly half of the DS and Wii numbers
- At 7 copies sold Rayman Origins comes out as a suprise seller here, selling more than many big name blockbusters, Legends is at less than half that
- RE6 sales seem massively down on RE5 numbers
- I seem to be the only person who bought SC Double Agent?
- Tomb Raider reboot and Sleeping Dogs are pretty popular titles, just under blockbusters like Halo
- Uncharted seems to have uniform sales across the trilogy, if you bought Uncharted 1 it seems you also picked up the 2 sequels too. Good franchise retention there.
- Viva Pinata did okay with 4 copies sold but the sequels sales dropped 75%
- Twilight Princess sales almost match Bioshock and NSMB Wii as the top selling titles on the VGPress but Skyward Sword sales notably drop almost by half from Twilight Princess.
How many copies has X game sold among our little band of brothers? Let's keep it relatively recent, say from the start of current gen.
