Thankee much . . . really like the color coding you added to show if a game has not been released in certain territories.

Deserves to sell more, probably will sell more, but you need to console yourself in that it's the best selling March release so far:

Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts: 19
Tecmo Bowl: 10
Splatterhouse: 10
Excite Bike: 9
Beyond Oasis: 7
Sword of Vermillion: 4
Double Dungeons: 1
Elevator Action: 1
Sonic Spinball: 0

:lol @ Sonic Spinball. Only North American release that currently fails to chart.

Well it has Sonic in its name so I'm sure it'll have caught a few people out that aren't quite as informed as people on this board. I can't remember the game being all that bad, I was a Sonic fanboy back in the day, buying anything with his name on it, so that probably jaded my view.

I know it would be crazy hard, but any chance of making a chart of how many GAF bought each week total? Now that the buzz is over, general sales feel like they've slowed up a bit, but it may be a per week basis.

Sonic Spinball :lol Poor game. Even as a Sonic fanboy back in the day, I did enjoy this game quite a bit. It's ugly, and the fact that the controls are out of your hands never feels quite right, but still a cool little game.

If I didn't have it in the Mega Collection, I'd probably buy it. I wish we could get some real figures :|

Well, I would guess VC sales will boost when a huge name is launched for the service or when there's a drough period of Wii titles.

Actually, Cosmonaut X was doing weekly sales, which were quite interesting, but he skipped town a few weeks ago. I think Glass Joe is still doing monthly sales though, so we can expect a monthly chart after next Monday.

Yeah, I'm sure the game is doing better with Wii owners at large than the GAF Wii owners that participate in this thread (it certainly can't do much worse! :lol ) The game isn't terrible terrible, but I do think it may be the worst game on Sonic Mega Collection.
 
From the chart posted, IMO Tecmo Bowl and Chew Man Fu are the 2 games that deserve A LOT more sales. Mario 64 aside, they're the 2 games I've played the most on VC.
