Query: How well did The Last of Us sale?
This is a list of the best-selling video games of all time. The best-selling video game to date is Tetris, a tile-matching puzzle video game originally released for the Electronika 60 in 1984 and then popularised upon its Game Boy release in 1989. The game has been ported to a wide range of platforms and sold in excess of 170 million copies, including 100 million paid mobile game downloads and 35 million Game Boy version sales.[1] Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto V are the only other games to have sold over 100 million copies. The best-selling game on a single platform is Wii Sports, with nearly 83 million sales for the Wii console.
The court did say that the US patent statute gives patentees the reward available from "sales in American markets, not from sales in foreign markets." A sale in a foreign market therefore does not furnish a proper basis for finding exhaustion. "American markets differ substantially from markets in many other countries, and not just because of disparities in wealth that can lead to dramatically different prices" in this country and abroad (as was the case in "Kirtsaeng"). "Government policies differ dramatically, including policies on price regulation and, most particularly, policies on the availability and scope of patent protection." The court did not explain further, however, whether and how such dramatic differences in policy applied to the toner cartridges at issue in the present case.
The album charted at #15, with the then current single "Lonely at the Top" dropping from 10 to 31 on album release week. After this the album left the top 75 after three weeks in the chart. It did re-enter after the release of "I Luv U", but the last reported sales figures claimed that the album is their least successful sales-wise.
Sales of the album stalled midway through 2009. By October, just over one million copies had been sold in the US, the group's lowest in more than a decade. Through March 2014, the album's lifetime sales in the country totaled 1.1 million copies. In the UK, the record sold less than a third of "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb"s figures, and a quarter of "All That You Can't Leave Behind"s. Global sales of "No Line on the Horizon" remained at five million copies through September 2010. The album did not generate a hit single; ABC noted that sales of "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" had been propelled by the track "Vertigo" which, although not a chart success, had become well-known to the public from its use in iPod commercials.
The game did not initially perform well in sales when released for Windows, but according to Sidhu, sales of the game took off following the release of "Peggle Extreme" as part of "The Orange Box"; Sidhu stated that the special version of the game helped to bring in video game players that would "never be caught dead playing a game with unicorns and rainbows". "Peggle" (both trial and full versions) has been downloaded more than 50 million times from the Internet as of early 2009, though PopCap has not released how many of these downloads were for full sales of the game.
They used a theoretical model to show how a reduction in search costs will affect the concentration in product sales. By analyzing data collected from a multi-channel retailing company, they showed empirical evidence that the Internet channel exhibits a significantly less concentrated sales distribution, when compared with traditional channels. An 80/20 rule fits the distribution of product sales in the catalog channel quite well, but in the Internet channel, this rule needs to be modified to a 72/28 rule in order to fit the distribution of product sales in that channel. The difference in the sales distribution is highly significant, even after controlling for consumer differences.
"How to Have Sex" was met with a mixed response from its target audience (queer men/MSM) in New York City. Sales exceeded what the authors had expected, and within two weeks of the initial publication they had ordered a second batch, and, soon after, a third to meet popular demand. David France describes himself and his friends being "absorbed" by the material: "the pool table sat idle as a dozen of us passed around copies, hungry for guidance through the terror that sex was causing." It has been lauded as the "first sex-positive guide to practicing safe sex" and is widely regarded as revolutionizing the tone of safe sex education, particularly in the LGBT community. The only real sacrifices in behavior that it required were abstaining from substance use in sex-related situations, rather than abstinence from any form of sex itself. Most readers reacted well to the positive and casual tone of the writing, as well as the frank descriptions of sexual acts. Edmund White, author of "The Joys of Gay Sex", said of the pamphlet: "this is the sanest, most sensible advice I've read yet about AIDS" and Dennis Altman, author of "The Homosexualization of America" said, "at last: a response to the effect of aids on our lives that goes beyond fears and myths to suggest positive actions." David France called it "a survival guide for the plague years." Many gay men were simply glad for any concrete advice in the midst of such confusion, particularly advice that did not present celibacy as the only safe option.
Improv's disappointing sales and eventual cancellation on the PC platform has been used as a case study in numerous post-failure analyses of the software market. Sales on the NeXT platform could be explained by NeXTs limited marketshare, but the failure on the PC was another issue. Among the favored explanations are the fact that, unlike the release on NeXT, the Windows version faced strong internal resistance from 1-2-3, and corporate immune response became an issue. Lotus' sales and marketing teams, well versed in selling 1-2-3, did not know how to sell Improv into the market, so they simply didn't, selling the well known and understood 1-2-3. Other explanations include the fact that Microsoft Excel was being offered as part of the Office bundle at marginal rates that were tiny in comparison, as well as several mis-steps during introduction, like the lack of a macro language or undo. Joel Spolsky blames it on the design itself, claiming it was too perfectly aimed at a specific market and lacked the generality that Excel featured.
Meanwhile, another executive from IBM, Daniel Stowell, had participated in IBM's expansion from selling hardware in the 1960s and '70s "the only way it knew how, through face-to-face sales" to the company's first use of a market channel in a project known as the "Alternate Channels Marketing Test." The idea was to incorporate direct response marketing techniques to accomplish the job of direct salespeople, and the initiative was quite successful. Notably his story illustrated the need for "consensus management" of the sales team. Traditional ways of managing sales people did not work when team members who had to develop a new way of selling were embedded in 14 different sales offices around the US.
"Drones" debuted at number one the US "Billboard" 200 chart in the week ending 14 June, earning 84,200 album-equivalent units in its first week (including 79,400 copies on traditional sales, 26,000 on single sales and 3.3 million on single streams), surpassing estimations. "Drones" replaced "How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful" by Florence and the Machine in the previous week, the first time two British artists had debuted consecutively at number one on the US chart since 1956. Its traditional sales took "Drones" to number one of the Top Album Sales. The following week it fell to #19, tying with Bon Jovi's "The Circle" and Sia's "1000 Forms of Fear" for the tenth-largest drop from #1 on the Billboard 200 as of January 2017.
Although many of its customers are in law enforcement, the company was near the top of a list of sellers whose guns were linked to New York City crimes in a 2003 report by a Columbia University researcher using data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Some 102 guns of 11,700 used in crimes and later identified came from the Jovino shop. According to current owners, until the 1980s the Jovino Company was "one of the biggest dealers in the country" and sold guns to many police departments. The study did not suggest any wrongdoing by the dealers listed (the store is not responsible for how people use the products they legally sell) and did not take into account that a store that has a higher volume of sales would most likely have a higher number of sales to people who later used the firearms in crimes, even if the store had a lower ratio of firearms used in crimes bought from the store per total sales than a store with a smaller volume of sales. A 2007 "Village Voice" article raised questions about the store's sales to United Nations diplomats from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
In truth, it was only the non-Africans who gained in the long run. They used the free labor of Africans to build a new world and advance their world. Africans who participated in the slave trade on the other hand, only helped to harm Africa, to depopulate Africa, to deprive Africa of young men and women who could have helped build a strong Africa. They traded their most valuable commodities (humans) for liquor, guns and various western goods that were all of inferior quality and of no value. They did nothing to build and advance their nations and they wondered why Europeans scrambled to colonize them. In fact, it was the Europeans who eventually outlawed slavery and had to stop the Africans who were all to happy to keep the trade alive. Africans biggest mistake was viewing other Africans as well ”Others”. They only sought to conquer others, instead of harmonizing with others. Just think how great Africa might have been had there not been ethnic fragmentation. Africa suffers til this very day as a direct result from the sins of the slave trades all across Africa. They say the Africans participated because they didn’t know any better or to prevent themselves from becoming slaves. These are lies, they knew exactly what they were doing and what was going on. Slaves were sought from Africa because Africans were the only ones willing to steal people and sale them. There would have been no Europeans going to Africa if there were no slaves to buy. Africans were the most culpable in this sad saga. They say that Africans didn’t sale their people. Well, they are right. What Africans did was sale human beings. The greatest crime of all. They caused great suffering to Cudjo Lewis, all the survivors of the last slaver Clotilda, the millions of enslaved before them and to their homelands in Africa.
"Share the Laughter" did not do as well, but for a standup comedy album, its sales were far from disappointing considering Intersound/CGI was on its last legs and soon closed.
Although the album did not make it onto the "Billboard" 200 chart in the US, it did enter the UK album chart on October 27, 1984, and reached #22 during its 10 weeks there. On November 12, 1984, it was awarded with Silver certification for sales of 60,000 units as well as Gold certification for sales of 100,000 units in the UK by the British Phonographic Industry.
Fixed-asset turnover is the ratio of sales (on the profit and loss account) to the value of fixed assets (on the balance sheet). It indicates how well the business is using its fixed assets to generate sales.
The resolution is vague on how to implement sanctions on North Korean air cargo, in contrast to the provisions for sea cargo. However, it is alleged that North Korea uses air traffic more than sea traffic to transport or exchange weapons technology. The Congressional Research Service report identifies the Pyongyang–Tehran air route as a matter of concern, as most of the US$1.5 billion North Korea earns in weapons sales comes from Iran. In addition to this, the report claims the air route is also used for the exchange and collaboration of WMD technology, as well as a route for visits by scientists, technicians and nuclear and ballistics officials. Most of the route passes over China, and a U.S. delegation held talks with Chinese officials over how to implement the resolution regarding the aircraft which regularly refuel at Chinese airports, but did not report on the response.
Dziabiak used the proceeds from the sale of Media Catch to launch Next In Line Records, an online record label. His plan was to distribute music online, but the company did not work out. Dziabiak had a roster of recording artists that played small- and medium-size venues. He noticed how costly it was for these artists to manage ticket sales for these venues without paying expensive fees to Ticketmaster.
In terms of food, less instruction is given in terms of how and where to grow them but the iudex is tasked with ensuring both quantity and quality. Special attention is paid to wine, especially how it should be made and stored. In case of excess production, the "[p]rovision is made for the sale of fish and other goods that are not used because the king did not visit".
The VHS release of "How I Spent My Vacation" was one of the highest selling videos in the United states; on the "Billboard" charts, the video ranked 12th in sales in April 1992. In May 1992, "How I Spent My Vacation" rose to 9th in video sales. On July 18, 1992, "How I Spent My Vacation" had been on "Billboard Magazine"'s 40 "Top Video Sales" for 16 weeks. On June 27, 1992, the film was ranked the 5th highest on "Billboard"'s "Top Kid Video". On February 6, 1993, "How I Spent My Vacation" had been on the "Top Kid Video" list for 41 weeks. While it did not state the revenue of the film, the "Toronto Star" stated that the film sold so well that Warner Bros. decided to release videos of "Tiny Toon Adventures" episodes.a. "Billboard Magazine" and some reviews state that the film was released in 1991. The "Miami Herald", "Bowker's Complete Video Directory: 1997", "The Animated Movie Guide", "TV Guide", "Toonzone"'s "Tiny Toon Adventures" episode guide, and the "New York Times", state that the film was or will be released in 1992.
Used car dealer Ralph Spoilsport (Proctor), last heard in "How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You're Not Anywhere at All", appears selling used body parts in a "going out of body" sale.
"How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful" debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart with first-week sales of 68,788 copies, earning the band their third consecutive number-one album. The album slipped to number two for two weeks in a row, before reclaiming the number-one spot in its fourth week on the chart, with 14,419 copies sold. In the United States, the album debuted atop the "Billboard" 200 with 137,000 album-equivalent units, of which 128,000 were pure album sales. It marked the band's first number-one album on the chart, as well as their largest sales week. As of December 2015, "How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful" had sold 290,000 copies in the US. The album debuted at number one on the Canadian Albums Chart, selling 19,000 copies in its first week. In Australia, the album debuted at the top of the charts, with sales of 15,706.
Sales figures for "Rogue Trip" are unknown. Publisher GT Interactive claimed that the game did contribute significantly to its fiscal revenue during the release period, despite an overall loss during the quarter. There were various, unofficial reports that a sequel to the game was in development by SingleTrac between 1999 and 2000. However, nothing concrete was ever made public and many key members of the company, such as producer and designer Scott Campbell, left the company in late 1999 to form Incognito Entertainment. Former SingleTrac employee Jay Barnson told "PC World" that he was unaware of any plans for a sequel and that GT Interactive never disclosed to the development team how well its projects "Rogue Trip" or "Critical Depth" had sold. "Maybe they both sold very well and they never told us, but it sure seemed like management wasn't enthusiastic about sales," he explained.
A year after the original release of "Amnesia", the developers revealed that they had sold around 391,102 units and were continuing to sell about 6000 units per month. They also released details about how much money each platform generated for them by analyzing the sales from their online store, with 70% of sales coming from Windows users and 15% coming from users of Linux and another 15% coming from users of Mac OS X. Frictional did however note that their store was the only place anyone could purchase the Linux version of the game, whereas the Mac OS X and Windows versions could be purchased from other sources, meaning that the total percentage of Linux sales is actually considerably smaller compared to other platforms taken collectively. Observing that their own Mac OS X sales did not go down from their own store even as services like Steam picked up the game for that platform, meaning that it did not steal customers from their store but instead opened up a new market, they decided this makes a good incentive for other stores to support Linux as well. As of September 2012, the game sits at an estimated 1.4 million sales.
Johnson's fate was worse. A too-costly advertising campaign, as well as an ill-timed offering of matched motors and hulls, drained all cash reserves by 1930, when control of the company passed to its bankers. Next came an attempt to lessen its reliance on seasonal sales by entry into the refrigerator-compressor market. This last-ditch effort did not revive the business, and shortly thereafter Johnson was for sale.
From 2001 to 2004, the group released one mini-album, two full-length albums and several singles. After lacklustre sales of their final record, "Kill the Last Romantic", Ford privately announced his intention to disband the group. After several short festival performances and radio appearances to promote their final single, "How Did It Ever Come to This?", Easyworld announced their split in September 2004. Their last public performance was at the Staffordshire date of 2004s V Festival on 22 August.
