+kheller2 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I was rummaging around on an old Mac laptop of mine and came across a folder entitled XE_Sales. I have no idea where I obtained the data but it seems to list XE title sales from 86-90. If this hasn't been posted before I'll gladly do so. It feels like something off the mainframe.. Maybe Curt posted this at one time.

+davidcalgary29 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Wow, those are terrible numbers! I'd love to know if they were complete, though, as I can't believe that I was one of only 164 lucky buyers of Necromancer on cart during that period of time.

Mclaneinc Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Those numbers seem very low, Caverns of Mars 0, ok it was out some time but zero sales, as Doc says, must be a specialised report.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps those zero sale titles weren't available for sale during that time period, but may have been in 1988. I don't remember seeing any of those older titles for sale in Canada as part of the XEGS line at that point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 If this report is accurate Mario Bros should be a MUCH easier title to obtain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 yes and since it's a waining 1 year segment possibly for a region or state... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefffulton Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 3 hours ago, hunmanik said: There are some good selling titles in there like Star Raiders (and this from was 86 on, not 79 on), but now I see why XE games are so hard to find. You can see why the XE's were dropped in the 1990, but why they kept the 8bits going in 1984. There were still strong sales of cart software and games going on, but yeah, I abandoned my 800 for and ST in Early 1987 and many others did the same or moved on to the Amiga, Mac, or pC.
