PAL Charts - Week 40, 2007

Fair play to Forza for the substantial bounce. I had written it off as a bomb, but it's coming back.

I'd like to see the LDT numbers for Forza 2, it has been in and out of the UK top ten consistently.

Weeks 34/35/36/37 it fell off the charts, then sold about the same as MotorStorm; I guess the end of the summer is a slow patch.

Wii fans don't want to know about FIFA08, they must be buying the PS2 version. I can't see 360/PS3 owners buying the PS2 version of the game.

Also, the PS3 should take a dip this week with all the pricedrop and new SKU rumors that were flying around. I'd expect it to happen across all the charts, especially France, Italy and Spain where the rumors and ads seem to be the most.

expect resistance and motorstorm to shoot up again next week.

Resistance has already gone up a little thanks to Sony's Church of Englands marketing pat them on the back.

We British folk are football whores :D

Interesting that the PS2 is the top selling version it's madness Sony wants to kill the PS2 off.

Aren't Resistance and Motorstorm bundled with the PS3? Aren't they basically an indicator of PS3 hardware sales?

I'm surprised at the amount of Wii software still charting. Its been out of stock online for the last couple of weeks.

in that case, next week they should break the top 10.

Aha... that explains why they're almost always next to each other in the charts, and the fairly consistant performance. I wondered what on earth people were seeing in MotorStorm (yeah, it's a good game, but not 'consistently in the top 40' good).

Cause people only buy software along with hardware?

Why? They're not included in the 40 GB.

They may not even be in the new 60GB (not sure, it says two games, but I don't know which ones).

Edit - I'm confused. You guys are saying they include bundles, but where the hell is Wii Sports then? That's bundled in Europe too, right?

Has Heavenly Sword really done that poorly? Do we have any type of estimate on what their sales might be? Would be a shame if it doesn't sell well at all. It has its flaws, but it's better than a lot of other games that get good sales.

I don't know about UK, but here in Portugal (Sonyland), this game is being heavily advertised and apart from that, it had free publicity when one of the top news program made a journalistic piece about games being more realistic based on Heavenly Swords launch, with videos from the game of course.

The 360/PS3 bundles are not in-box I'm sure. It's probably more like, "Buy a 360, get a free copy of Forza that we still have to ring up" kind of thing.

So basically, the console that's gonna take over the world (PS3) is being outsold by a 16 month old piece of software (NSMB) in Sonyland?

I think Motorstorm is a good technical showcase for what the PS3 is capable of. Its a good technical launch window title which Sony themselves are trying to push really hard so its no surprise why its selling well in Europe especially. Sony hit the Jackpot apparently with two new soon to be franchises with both REsistance and Motorstorm. Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said about Heavenly sword. Maybe the art style didnt click with most people. Maybe they should hire the god of war guys to do their art style next time and rename the game Godess of War :D

I understand your point, I just don't understand why you quoted me before making it.
 
Quake Wars, baby! Good to see RE4 return, it was in the french charts last week as well. HS is a big bomba, like a lot of people suggested. Maybe it can pick up the pace with the new 40 gig or fares better in NA.

Well, a few people quoted my comment, and I just wanted to continue with a comment about PS3 sales after my original point was confirmed. You were the last of the 3 who quoted me, so I just went for you.

I am surprised that so manyWii titles are in the charts as new Wii consoles have been out of stock in UK for about the last 3 weeks.

This.

Retailers have better offers on 360 and PS3 than official bundles. Oddly enough, I'm still seeing forced bundles for Wii on the high street, stores will only sell you it if you buy a game with it.

It's awesome we actually have a readable understandable list these days. I'll have to remind myself to visit these threads more often now.
 
FIFA 08 Wii actually climbed a couple of spots (edit: woops no it never, it fell) ... I've just been playing it today. Its alright... the controls are decent and it looks pretty sharp for a Wii game. I quite like the Footii Party stuff, and that it's online. If Metroid weren't coming so soon and I wasn't so poor I'd probably pick it up.

It does look better on PS3 and 360 though. All that close up stuff sounds great.

Good to see the return of RE4. It deserves legs.

I remember you posting something about RE4 Wii possibly selling a million world wide and I thought you were nuts...I think it eventually might actually happen, or get very very close.

Woops... reading comprehension eh!

I like the way you're formatting it as well. I love the way you've took the time to do links to the charts on each line as well. Good stuff!

I believe the second part of that prediction is that if it gets close enough to a million then we will see RE5 on the Wii...
