Looks like Viva Pinata only sold 19,000 copies last month, for a total of 199,000 copies sold in North America. Looks like the stock is still a little high as I doubt Europe has sold more than the number sold in North America.
A good way to boost the sales of viva pinata in real life, would be to put it as adverts in cartoon network, or even at the end of their spin off show of this game..
I think if they put Viva Pinata on the DS, that could extend the name recognition for the 360 copy and have some positive effect on the lifetime sales of the 360 version.
how did you find out its december sales? & its sold more than that if you count the rest of the world. I could easily say that europe has sold near 100k+ copies, i dont know, how do you find out?
VIVA PINATA DECEMBER NUMBERS. VGcharts has Viva Pinata selling 111,250 copies in December, for a total of 151,000 in North America. Too bad they don't have a tracker for just European and Australian sales.
So the December numbers did better than 2x the November numbers (the 2x rule), so that is bullish. However, it's not a large enough margin that I think the game is breaking out. Also, note that the game was heavily discounted in some areas so in some places we are already in the $30 phase of the game. 400k lifetime? 500k?
Well, could someone go to a games store, and ask about the sales of the game? Some will tell you, pretty much the reason it had poor sales in november, was because EVERYTHING came out in december, and so people bought gears/ps3 or something else instead.
Orkeater, whether or not its a great family game doesn't matter if the sales numbers aren't backing the game up. I still can't find anything mentioning December results for Viva Pinata though...only stuff that says its not selling as well as it should.
I am giving up on this stock, its been over a month, and its not stopped falling. Its rediculous, everywhere i go, the damn game is sold out. Its a great family game, and doesnt deserve to drop like this. I lost over 1mil on this, im selling and starting over on new stocks..
