Not many people jumped at "Super Monkey Ball" when it hit the market.
Made by Sega for the Nintendo GameCube, "Super Monkey Ball" was one of the only three games available on the market when Nintendo launched the new console in September.
As one of only three games for a new console, you might expect "Super Monkey Ball" to be an instant million seller. That would likely happen in the United States, where consumers will buy just about any game they can find for new game consoles.
