Eroge Sales Rankings Year 2006
2006 has been pretty bad compared to previous years in terms of sales, mainly because of the lack of big name titles from the big companies like Key, Leaf and Type-moon. While the other releases such as ef - the first tale and Scarlett did not do as well as expected.
Many regard this year as a pretty dry year in terms of good eroge releases. Though there was the legendary 2gb downloadable patch that was released for Summer Days… a few days before the actual game was released.

I guess no one care for f/ha in 2006.

Ooooh, School Days made it in there. I guess it was pretty much a first for that style of game. Hmm, I expected at least one of the Erogos series of games to make it in there though. I guess they aren’t that popular in Japan…

Another sign of how bad this year was… 4 of the top 5 are from pre-existing franchises. Ha-zah for originality! Was hoping that ef -the first tale- would have posted higher numbers out of the gate (even if it did release so close to the end of the year) simply due to the hype machine that it had going for it.
Really wish Scarlett would have done better for Nekoneko Soft as well…
