Anybody have an idea what the sales figures for all the platforms are? Apparently I google and I don’t get along because I couldn’t find anything. I’m sure if there are strong sales of the game and the rerelease are strong sellers then that would help the cause for a 3rd installment, wouldn’t you agree? ---

There is a somewhat similar topic on the 2nd page: > **[GB game sales seem robust!](https://forum.gbfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=13076)** > > This weeks sales volumes numbers: (And it’s only been out a few days) 1st place xbox 360 2nd place PS2 3rd place PS3 5th place PC Not bad for 3 days! That topic only discussed sales ranks for the game on each platform based on data from Amazon. In other words, there is no hard data yet released to the public. However…: I would have to say wait until NPD data is released for the month of June sometime around July 16th. It will cover sales data from May 31 to July 4, which represents roughly 3 weeks of sales for Ghostbusters. According to [http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/Video\_Game\_Sales\_Wiki](http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/Video_Game_Sales_Wiki) > [@Video Game Sales Wiki](#): > > NPD covers roughly 60-65% of the U.S. retailers. It notably does not cover Toys R Us (since Oct 2007), Wal-Mart, and Sam’s Club retailers, but it does Amazon since Nov 2007. Although, NPD does not track Wal-Mart, they do estimate Wal-Mart and other retailers’ sales using various algorithms and estimations. In February 2008, the firm announced they will begin tracking online game subscriptions for PC sales data and Xbox Live online subscribers on a quarterly basis and then start gathering data from digital distribution later in 2008. The great thing about NPD is that they will release “hard numbers” and not just sales ranks. Here are May’s hardware and software numbers: Nintendo DS **633.5K** Wii **\*\*289.5K \*\*** Xbox 360 **175K** PlayStation 3 **\*\*131K \*\*** PlayStation 2 **117K** PSP **100.4K** UFC 2009 UNDISPUTED (Xbox 360) **679.6K** Wii FIT W/ BALANCE BOARD (Wii) **352.8K** EA SPORTS ACTIVE BUNDLE (Wii) **\*\*345.8K \*\*** UFC 2009 UNDISPUTED (PS3) **334.4K** INFAMOUS (PS3) **175.9K** POKEMON PLATINUM VERSION (NDS) **168.9K** MARIO KART W/ WHEEL (Wii) **158.3K** PUNCH OUT!! (Wii) **156.9K** X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE UNCAGED ED (Xbox 360) **\*\*120.7K \*\*** Wii PLAY W/ REMOTE (Wii) **109.8K** Here are estimated cumulative sales for some multi-platform movie-based titles that can help gage Ghostbuster’s success: **North America Only:** Terminator Salvation (360, PS3) - **43,000** Released May 19 The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena (PC, 360, PS3) – **100,000** Released April 7 The Godfather II (360, PS3) - **246,000** Released April 7 X-Men Origins: Wolverine (360, PS3) - **215,700** Released May 1 Transformers: [The Video Game](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/games/ghostbusters-the-video-game) (PS3, 360, PS2, Wii) - **≥ 1 million** Released June 26, 2007 **Worldwide:** Star Wars The Force Unleashed (360, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP, PS2) - **5.7 million** Released September 2008 (The fastest-selling Star Wars game in history, according to Gamasutra in February) Link: [news](http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=22256) It will be interesting to see how Ghostbusters performs along side Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (PS2, PS3, 360, Wii) video game. It was released on June 23 and will have 12-days (about 2 weeks) represented on Junes NPD data. Considering the movie is breaking all kinds of box office records, the game should be doing quite well too. ---

for anyone reading this thread a word of advice don’t waist your money on terminator salvation or transformers 2 those games are broaring and poor, i wouldn’t recommend renting them either unless you feel the need to experiment with them at best.
