>> Brendan, thanks. Very interesting stuff. Are these figures available on the web or are you a subscriber?
This detail requires being a subscriber. General top 10 / top 20 is available free from the www.pcdata.com website.
>> On the console side (TRSTS), I see that TR III is right behind NWO/Revenge, which I estimate sold 500,000-600,000.
In November, TR3 was the top selling PSX game (falling to #2 in December). Overall, it was #3 and #5 respectively (N64 titles selling more). I don't have detail reports for console games though.
>> As for TR and the Mac, I have a feeling that PC Data doesn't cover much mail order. In fact, I have a feeling they don't cover Mac-only stores either. A huge portion of the Mac sales come from these two sources.
PC Data covers a lot of mail order in its mix, but I don't know if that percentage is high or low. They may not get many Mac-only stores, although they do cover Mac Connection, MacMall, MacWarehouse, and MacZone. The complete list of retailers (stores and mail) consists of 48 companies, representing an estimated 80% of the retail market. The complete list can be found on their site / about our reports / software reports / retail report. |
