Ultima Online 9th Anniversary Collection - Moving up at Amazon
September 20th, 2006 by Sherri the Mouse

I’ve been keeping an eye on the 9th Anniversary Collection at Amazon and right now it’s hovering at around the #350 rank in sales (when it first popped up on Amazon, it was several thousand back and started moving up - yesterday it was in the 400s). This is Amazon - USA only. Amazon Japan has been reporting the 9th Anniversary in the top 5 for several days in a row now! At one point it was #1 in sales!

Some of this could be attributed to people wanting to make sure and have a copy reserved for them (since EA in the past hasn’t always produced enough right at the beginning), as well as people wanting to get the goodies that may come with it being ordering between now and the time it’s released.

Will be interesting to see what happens when more details come out. That’s a pretty good sign of interest in UO - up around #350 in the USA, and in the top 5 in Japan, and we don’t even have the full details.

Just to put that in perspective, the current (as of this hour) top 10 in the category that UO is in:

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team (DS)
Okami (PS2)
Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (PS2)
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team (DS)
Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (GameCube)
Nintendo DS Lite Onyx Black
Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (Xbox)
Sony Playstation 2 Console Slim PS2
Microsoft Flight Simulator X Deluxe DVD
Xbox 360 Console Includes 20GB Hard Drive

As you can tell, it's competing with all console games, as well as any kind of gaming hardware (the consoles themselves, joysticks, etc.).

It's actually pretty dang amazing that it has remained in the top 5 in Japan for several days in a row, considering it's competing against console games.
