Anybody know the sale figures on NFL2k5... like how many sold so far ? wondering how its doing considering the 19.99 price tag...

hopefully sega actually makes some profit...
 
My brother, who works at EB, said that it's selling like "hotcakes". I went in the other day and they only had like four left on PS2.
 
It's about time Sega makes a profit on the 2k series, they make some of the best games and always get walked on by the damn mainstream!
 
I didnt bother looking around about this deal..but im sure everyone knows about it.. Anyways my walmart still has copies left of this at 15.86 for the red ticket price sale.

Btw are people also GGC them at bb? or did best buy do something like price this game at 19.96?
 
MyWal-Mart got in 32 ps2 copies and we were down to about 8 in a matter of the last week. I'm sure we'll be sold out relatively soon.

We didn't get any XBox copies in because the shipment is at the new store which opens August 25th (we will be only the second Wal-Mart super center in CT, located in Wallingford) but im sure if those copies were here they would sell like hotcakes as well.

Looks like the $20 price point is working well for Sega, just hope they don't bump it back to $50 next year, and instead keep it this way ot even charge $29.99 instead.
 
I'm happy Sega is getting the sales they deserve... finally! :D
 
I really hope Madden doesnt sell this year. To me, all the versions are the same. One you bought one Madden, you own them all.

Yeah, they say Madden this year is about the same as last. Sept. issue of OXM reviews them both, and gives the edge to ESPN over Madden!!! 9.3/10 to 9.1/10 ESPN NFL 2k5 wins!!!!

I like the Sound Effect
 
[quote name='rawtalent']Yeah....it's been said before, I'm sure, but let's hope this starts a trend of $19.99 quality games.[/quote]

That would be great.
 
I know a lot of people that bought it as well as my local EB selling them pretty fast by the way they get running to the back and bringing more to the front.
 
This quote was taken from an article (regarding NBA 2K5's new coverboy) today:
"ESPN Videogames' ESPN NFL 2K5 has already sold over one-million copies due in large part to its reduced price point of $19.99 which will also extend to ESPN NBA 2K5 and ESPN NHL 2K5. "
So if they sold 350,000 last year, and over one-million so far this year, they have tripled their sales already
 
Nice. That means in a sense to equal the amount of copies sold last they wold be selling at $60 or so, so they are making a better profit, and there are still many weeks left for copies to be sold.

Real nice.

Remember.. for them to make the same amount of gross profit as they did last year.. they'll have to sell 2 1/2 times as many units. And that's just to break even with last year, not to do better.

Don't forget that there is also the printing and distribution cost that's incurred by multiplying the numbers of copies sold, so they would need to probably go between 2.66 and 3.00 to make the same gross profit, and that doesn't include the addition of Global Star in the publishing path, so once they get their cut, maybe even 3.5x the number of copies sold last year.

If those numbers are right, then that might be happening. Seems so unbelievable that the strategy would ever work..
 
I hope Sega does well they really need a few hits under their belt.

I wouldn't be surprized if next year EA also drops their sports titles to $20.

I really wish all sports games would droped to $20, I mean really what other game series has you buying a new game every year? How many people really go out and by last years or two year old sports games? Sports fans want the most up-to-date games. Thats why they buy a new one every year. Most of the time all that is updated are the players, in the end its the same game that you got last year and the year before that.

I'm not a big sports fan, But I feel better paying $20 a year then $50 a year for a sports game.
