As the second true title to promote healthy activity and get people off the couch and moving, Outdoor Challenge does have a good array of games to get people up and moving. Sadly, the motivation may dwindle after a period of play. Perhaps though, some of these activities will get people interested in the real world version of some sports (mine cart jumping and mole whacking not inclusive) and then as a developer even though you're preventing more sales you are passing on good habits to the younger generation.
The lower price tag when compared to Wii Fit is a huge plus, especially if the included mat can be used in subsequent Active Life titles, but coming in at $70 does put it up into the price range that may be just out of acceptable range for a lot of parents who've already dropped nearly $350 on a Wii and Wii Fit.
Namco Bandai today released their Q1 2010 earnings report. And buried amidst the boring money stuff (net sales are down 15.8%) is something a little more interesting: game sales data.
Listed were the publisher's top five-selling games for the quarter ending June 30, 2009 (as in, only those sold during that three-month period, not lifetime sales). Those expecting Nintendo-like numbers will be disappointed, but those who love Afro Samurai - or just numbers in general - will be thrilled!
Poor Namco. Their best selling game isn't even well reviewed or high in sales. The other 4 are just jokes anyways. Hopefully they shuffle up some good game ideas for this next quarter to keep afloat since I like the Tales of series.
this is what they get for unleashing Ace Combat to a foreign audience and abandoning the outright loyalty of the PS horde; otherwise ruining the track record of an excellent franchise.
where in the world is KK and that fkn Cellius...? >_<
The top ten best-selling games for Namco Bandai during the 2008-2009 fiscal year.Tales of Vesperia for the Xbox 360 is surprisingly not on the list.

6. Naruto Ultimate Ninja: Storm

Region(s): Europe, Japan and United States
Total Sales: 640,000 units
I do better with Namco exclusive only for ps3 and more than flops been there in 360fixme.
Wow Naruto UN Storm sold rather well! Is anyone really surprised TOV has not sold well on 360.
