Konami's recently released Rock Revolution has flopped in the US, selling 2 copies on the Wii.

According to NPD sales data (via NeoGAF), the game hasn't performed as well as Guitar Hero or Rock Band since strumming its way to the US in October.

Rock Revolution is Konami's attempt at breaking into the console music market after having an impressive run with the arcade sensation, Guitar Freaks. Less than 3,000 copies sold across the entire US, breaking down to 1,442 Xbox 360 copies, 816 PS3, 666 DS and an abysmal 2 copies on the Wii.

Activision's Guitar Hero World Tour did far better, with 191,049 Xbox 360 units, 182,845 for Wii, 96,657 PS3 and 63,462 PS2 versions.

I find it hard to believe data is measured that accurately.

This is a mistake in the data. NPD doesn't track sales that low. This was just posted on the web for laughs. However, the game is not good at all. Konami is slowly becoming the Ubisoft of Japan.

Indeed, I smell bullshit.

If it's true though I hope for Konami those two buyers don't want a refund. That would be even more tragic. Smilie

ooh well.. atleast it sold better then okami Smilie


If it's any consolation, Okami sold better than 80% of what's on Wii from what I saw on sales data.
Now can the Okami commercials finally stop please?

" Konami is slowly becoming the Ubisoft of Japan."

I wouldnt go that far, PES is apperently one of the best football games made, especialy for Wii.

They also got Lost In Blue, Dewy's Adventure, Kororinpa and Elebits.

All with some effort put into them.
