Game Informer Writes: "It would have been smart for Namco Bandai to release this before Wii Fit, but it helps that Active Life is cheaper ($60) and most likely easier to find. Tackling the relatively brief career mode is sweat-inducing fun in the harder difficulties, and I enjoyed the retro Power Pad appeal."
Namco Bandai today released their Q1 2010 earnings report. And buried amidst the boring money stuff (net sales are down 15.8%) is something a little more interesting: game sales data.
Listed were the publisher's top five-selling games for the quarter ending June 30, 2009 (as in, only those sold during that three-month period, not lifetime sales). Those expecting Nintendo-like numbers will be disappointed, but those who love Afro Samurai - or just numbers in general - will be thrilled!
Poor Namco. Their best selling game isn't even well reviewed or high in sales. The other 4 are just jokes anyways. Hopefully they shuffle up some good game ideas for this next quarter to keep afloat since I like the Tales of series.
The top ten best-selling games for Namco Bandai during the 2008-2009 fiscal year.Tales of Vesperia for the Xbox 360 is surprisingly not on the list.
thats some really interesting no's 600k gundam 2 in japan alone and 650k for ultimate ninja storm if they patch trophies i would buy it great looking game
FLOP! only in 360fixme.

6. Naruto Ultimate Ninja: Storm

Region(s): Europe, Japan and United States
Total Sales: 640,000 units
I do better with Namco exclusive only for ps3 and more than flops been there in 360fixme.
Wow Naruto UN Storm sold rather well! Is anyone really surprised TOV has not sold well on 360.
