Morrowind has a couple extra percent because of SH and MGS2 being a little low. FFX looks just fine now.

Chrono Cross took 2nd place in Brazil. OoT took 4th place in the Phillipines.

Half-Life did not advance an any territory.

Hey, FFX holding the lead for this long on MGS2 - even if it is being held back by Konami SFF believe - means it's stronger than it's ever been I say

(but seriously I had this same reaction for LttP and everyone told me I was nuts... still FFX looks fine)

Seeing as GTA's really fallen off the map...I doubt that Vice City might be a threat to get second.

I sure hope people weren't thinking Oblivion (and Morrowind, to a lesser extent) were going to be weak by any means. Oblivion put up very good numbers against KH2 back when it was hot. I'd call it a miniature version of Fallout 3.

I thought Oblivion was strong enough to advance, but judging by the looks of this, it could win outright. If Morrowind is putting up respectable numbers, I sure wouldn't mind taking Oblivion over two ultra-violent PS2 games with similar appeal.

Karma Hunter | Posted 4/26/2009 9:15:55 PM | message detail
Well, GoW has always disappointed in these things relative to how Kratos does - it's like DMC in that respect. I went with GoW there because I still think it could make waves in this particular setting, but if I had known it was such an overwhelming favorite I'd have gone with Oblivion (and to be fair, certainly would in light of this).

Why such a (relatively) low % for OOT?

Probably because there were such a large number of users who thought Final Fantasy IX could beat OoT. If it was Final Fantasy VII, then it would most likely have defeated OoT, but most likely not any other Final Fantasy. Hence the 28.13% for OoT to take second.

I'd say

MGS2 > Starcraft
Morrowind =< Soul Calibur
Silent Hill 2 < Xenogears

it's probably about equal, maybe a slight edge to FF8's pack.
