Sales[edit]

United States[edit]

Note that every row save the bottom two are sourced from the NPD Group's TRST system, which only covered a portion of the market (estimated to be 81% of American game retailers circa 2000). In particular, Walmart did not participate in the system between July 2001 and July 2011, dropping the official estimates for that period to 55-60% of American game retailers.
