Introducing Two Out Rally, Baseball MMORPG

============================
What is Two Out Rally?
============================

Two Out Rally is a massively-multiplayer online baseball role playing game. More explicitly, it's an online baseball game where tons of fans just like you can create players, manage teams, and rise to the top of the leagues by crushing the competition.

============================
Tell me more.
============================

Create: Each member of Two Out Rally starts as a scout, and in that role can create players. Choose position, left or right handedness, background, style of play, and attributes depending on exactly what type of player you want. Unlike other MMOs, there are no useless stats! All decisions matter and they all affect the game in different ways.

Coach: Another aspect of Two Out Rally is the ability to train your players and improve their various attributes. As they level up, your training regimen can produce awesome results on the field! Coach your players up and see the results.

Conquer: As scouts gain influence, they can eventually use that to be the GM or Owner of a team. In that role, you take over all aspects of team operation, like finding/acquiring talent, managing contracts, daily lineups, defensive alignments, etc. Manage a successful team and conquer the competition!

============================
What do I do now?
============================

Two Out Rally is nearing an Alpha release in April 2010--and we're looking for Alpha testers. We're looking for all sorts of players: those that have done previous testing, those that haven't, those that love baseball, and even some that don't.

If you're interested in Alpha Testing (and getting a jump on the competition as well as some admin-approved bonuses), sign up by posting over at our Facebook fan page. Just throw up a "I'd like to alpha test!" on the wall and we'll make sure and contact you when it opens.

I simply cannot wait to tell you more, but I can't give everything away up front--some of these game functions should really impress you, but some things will remain secret for as long as possible.

UK - Wii Fit Plus Jumps to First Place; Dragon Age: Origins Debuts in 5th

Wii Fit Plus jumped back up to 1st place on the UK software sales chart (with sales up 3%), followed by EA’s flagship FIFA 10 (sales down 13%). Wii Sports Resort moved up to 3rd, thanks to the best Wii hardware sales of the year with the new White Wii Sports Resort bundle.

The move caused Sega’s new Football Manager 2010 to be pushed down to 4th place on the chart. The best newcomer this week is the critically acclaimed Dragon Age: Origins, the latest RPG epic from developer BioWare. The latest Ratchet & Clank offering from developer Insomniac, A Crack in Time, debuted at 22nd on the chart.

Nintendo’s seen some of its flagship titles move up the charts recently, like Mario Kart Wii, while some of its other popular franchises, like Super Smash Bros. and the original Wii Fit, have slipped to the middle of the charts. Some older titles that reappear in the top 40 this week include Ghostbusters: The Video Game and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.

UK - Batman: Arkham Asylum Dominates Thanks to PS3 Slim Bundling

Batman: Arkham Asylum was still the top seller in the UK this past week, beating out Wii Sports Resort (sales down 11%).

Batman’s sales were down 27% after its opening week, and although the Xbox 360 version is leading, the PS3 version now has a bundling with the PS3 Slim.

With the bundling comes a sales boost for titles like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (sales up 128%), lifting the title to number 3 for the first time in a year and a half.

New release IL2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey from developer Gaijin Entertainment takes number 6 on the chart. Dissidia: Final Fantasy from Square Enix debuts at number 10. Champions Online debuts at number 18.

X360 comparisons: After 193 weeks, X360 is where GCN was at 18.2 weeks (January 14, 2002), where PS3 was at 40.0 weeks (August 12, 2007), and where Wii was at 5.8 weeks (January 6, 2007).

PS3 comparisons: After 145 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 48.0 weeks (January 28, 2001), where PSP was at 71.1 weeks (April 17, 2006), where GCN was at 134.3 weeks (April 6, 2004), and where Wii was at 36.8 weeks (August 10, 2007).

Wii comparisons: After 142 weeks, Wii is where GBA was at 101.6 weeks (February 27, 2003), where DS was at 78.3 weeks (May 30, 2006), where PS2 was at 122.2 weeks (July 1, 2002), and where PSP was at 172.0 weeks (March 23, 2008).

DSi comparisons: After 42 weeks, DSi is where GBASP was at 58.2 weeks (March 22, 2004) and where DSL was at 20.9 weeks (July 22, 2006).

Based on the latest Media Create hardware numbers...
DS vs PSP: Weekly shares of 70.6 / 29.4 bring total shares to 68.4 / 31.6. If DS stopped selling and PSP continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 543.6 weeks (January 24, 2020).

X360 vs PS3: Weekly shares of 81.4 / 18.6 make this the most X360-tilted week ever. This brings total shares to 25.2 / 74.8. At this week's rates, X360 catches up to PS3 in 313.6 weeks (August 28, 2015). If PS3 stopped selling and X360 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 241.9 weeks (April 13, 2014).

PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 7.1 / 92.9 make this the most Wii-tilted week ever. This brings total shares to 28.0 / 72.0. If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 2,503.1 weeks (August 13, 2057).

Week over week, everything is returning from a holiday bump, though for their own reasons Wii and PS3 drop even more. X360 drops the least and continues floating strangely high.

Through the first thirty-four weeks of the year, overall sales are down. However, the systems can be split into camps of 3 up and 3 down. Here's how the year-to-date year-over-year percents stand as of now.

Wii: -54.2%
DSL+DSi: +14.0%
PS2: -52.2%
PS3: +1.8%

Famitsu Software Stuff

Freaky-deaky Tomodachi Collection increased its weekly sales AGAIN and AGAIN. This last holiday-bumped week was its biggest yet.


In its sixth week Dragon Quest IX not only continues outpacing Dragon Quest VIII, but has outsold the initial release altogether! Should take another week or two to additionally outdo what DQ VIII sold in Best form. Though not pictured here, it's worth noting that as of week six Dragon Quest IX is back ahead of Dragon Quest VII: 3.62 M to 3.57 M. Thanks to Chris1964 for keeping up with that stat in particular.


Monster Hunter 3's first week put it ahead of the initial PS2 release of Monster Hunter 2. The second week put it ahead of PS2 MH2 combined with its Best release. The third week is just gravy.


Tales of Versus isn't off to a bad start for a modern Tales game, but it's not quite matching up to this year's first PSP Tales hit, either.


Continuing the comparison of decently successful Puyo games from a few weeks back, it looks like DS's Puyo Puyo 7 is behaving a lot like PS2's Puyo Puyo Fever.


Tingle's second outing doesn't start off as well as his first.

X360 vs PS3: Weekly shares of 60.7 / 39.3 bring total shares to 25.0 / 75.0. At this week's rates, X360 catches up to PS3 in 677.2 weeks (August 9, 2022). If PS3 stopped selling and X360 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 237.9 weeks (March 9, 2014).

PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 11.1 / 88.9 bring total shares to 28.1 / 71.9. If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 859.9 weeks (February 8, 2026).

Week over week, everything is up, though it's almost unnoticeable for PS2/PS3/Wii. Seems like a holiday bump which these systems have countered by being old/about to be replaced/coming down from another bump.

Through the first thirty-three weeks of the year, overall sales are down. However, the systems can be split into camps of 3 up and 3 down. Here's how the year-to-date year-over-year percents stand as of now.

UK - Wii Sports Resort Holds Off Wolfenstein for Top Spot

With 2 weeks off from the top spot, Wii Sports Resort (with sales down 12% from last week) has reclaimed the number one position on the UK All Formats Software Chart, holding off new release Wolfenstein by 2,000 sales.

The remake of the classic Wolfenstein 3D, which comes from Quake 4 developer Raven Software, managed to hold off Ashes Cricket 2009, which held first place for the last 2 weeks. Nintendo, Activision Blizzard, and EA continue to dominate the top 10.

Assassin’s Creed made a comeback to the top 40, coming in at number 24, as well as Dead Space at number 35. Recent release Madden NFL 10 has dropped from 8th place to 20th.

Actually, Famitsu is in the middle of one of their two-week periods, so their website doesn't have them. Next week it will update with the sum of the sales from the two weeks. However, an external site does list the Top 20 software, so there's still plenty from Famitsu to see at the bottom of this post.

Based on the latest Media Create hardware numbers...
DS vs PSP: Weekly shares of 69.9 / 30.1 bring total shares to 68.4 / 31.6. If DS stopped selling and PSP continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 433.3 weeks (November 28, 2017).

X360 vs PS3: Weekly shares of 48.3 / 51.7 bring total shares to 24.9 / 75.1. If PS3 stopped selling and X360 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 301.5 weeks (April 20, 2017).

PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 11.0 / 89.0 bring total shares to 28.2 / 71.8. If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 870.2 weeks (April 4, 2026).

Week over week, Wii returns to Earth, and the biggest other change is that a PS3 drop and X360 gain put them within kissing distance.

Through the first thirty-two weeks of the year, overall sales are down. However, the systems can be split into camps of 3 up and 3 down. Here's how the year-to-date year-over-year percents stand as of now.

You may notice that X360's year-to-date year-over-year is now tanking. Five weeks ago it was over 200%, now it's at 110%. That's because we've reached the time of year when X360 started doing pretty well last year:


PS3 had one of its worst weeks this week. It has has three lower weeks: all during October 2008, immediately preceding a new bundle and Grand Theft Auto IV / Little Big Planet / Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spec III.


Famitsu Software Stuff

This week's hotness is of course Monster Hunter 3. Though different trackers see things differently, by Famitsu's reckoning in its first two days MH3 became the best-selling single console Monster Hunter SKU.


However, it doesn't beat out PS2 MH2 when combined with its Best rerelease.


It also has a smaller start than the two PSP versions of Monster Hunter 2: MHP2 (412) and MHP2G (2838)


In its fourth week Dragon Quest IX continues outpacing Dragon Quest VIII. Though not pictured here, it's worth noting that through week three Dragon Quest VII is slightly higher: 3.42 M to 3.39 M.


Dragon Quest IX also passes up Monster Hunter Portable 2G + its Best rerelease this week, to become the top third-party portable game of the generation.


Tomodachi Collection is a weird game: its weekly sales keep going up. This seventh week is its best since its first. I don't know what the record is for continuing to increase each week, and frankly it seems like it'd be a bit of a pain to write something to try to weed such knowledge out of the database. However, if you know of others like this it could be interesting to compare them. Keep in mind that it's not so unusual for this to happen for a game that releases shortly before the end-of-year holiday rush, and then rides the general bump.


At 51K, Puyo Puyo 7 seems to be the best Puyo launch in quite some time. Among all on modern systems I only see one with a greater launch (2004's Puyo Puyo Fever on PS2), and one other over 40K (2006's Puyo Puyo! on DS).


Gears of War 2 starts bigger than its predecessor.


Armored Core 3 Portable for PSP starts off quite a bit better than PSP's other Armored Core: Formula Front. However, that was a launch game.


The new DS Chibi-Robo (3638) isn't performing quite as well as the DS original (109), but better than either the GCN original (1763) or its Wii rerelease (3605).

UK - Codemasters' Ashes Cricket 2009 Continues to Outsell Wii Competitors

Codemasters’ Ashes Cricket 2009 remained at the top of the sales chart this past week, and Nintendo’s Wii Sports Resort and Wii Fit held 2nd and 3rd place.

Madden NFL 10 debuted at number 8, the latest title from EA Tiburon which has been highly acclaimed for its improvement of the 20-year franchise.

EA’s Fight Night Round 4 dropped out of the top 10, from 5th place to 12th place. Too Human makes an appearance in the top 40, as well as New Super Mario Bros. UFC 2009: Undisputed has plummeted from 22nd to 39th place.

UK - Ashes Cricket 2009 Knocks Wii Sports Resort off the Top

New release Ashes Cricket 2009 has knocked Wii Sports Resort off the top of the UK Software Chart after just two weeks. The Codemasters title marks the first time a UK publisher has reached the top of the All Formats chart since Eidos in 2007.

THQ’s top-selling UFC 2009 Undisputed dropped from 8th place to 22nd, while G-Force jumped from 26th to 9th place, coinciding with the film's theatrical release.

Some other titles that saw sharp declines in sales include Infamous, from 27th to 36th place, and Race Driver: GRID, from 24th to 38th place. The decrease in UK business follows news of a weak 2nd quarter in the United States.

UK - Wii Sports Resort and Wii Fit Remain Dominant

With a 6% increase in sales, Wii Sports Resort remains at the top of the UK Software Sales chart. The long-running success of Wii Fit has boosted that title to second place.

The next three spots belong to EA, with a solid lineup of Tiger Woods, Harry Potter, and Fight Night.

UFC 2009 Undisputed has pushed its way back into the top 10, following recent announcements of record profits for THQ thanks to the popular fighting sim.
