I'm in the UK, and I don't think the Hitman Sales are going to be great at retail.
Every shop is selling it at more than the digital version on PSN.
HMV are £9.99 more than the digital version.
GAME are £7.99.

NnK just shows that JRPG's can sell if you actually market them. Most of them just seem to be released without publishers doing anything to promote them.

How much did it sell?

Well, it's number 1 on the charts that actually take it into account, so it seems to be doing pretty well. Certainly better than ToGf did, which was a game that NAMCO just dropped without promoting it much at all. That game debuted at #18 in Sweden when it was released while NnK debuted at #1.

To be fair even selling something like 200k across Europe would be impressive.
UK
Week Ending 2 February 2013: £9.65mm on 426,927 units
YTD 2012 £74.0mm on 3.390mm units
YTD 2013 £56.8mm (-23%) on 2.537mm units (-25%)
Getting worse.
I'll try to do more later, but for the sake of discussion...
Unit share in January 2013 (four weeks, not including the week above):
Xbox 360: 38.4% - 810K
PS3: 25.8% - 545K
PC: 10.8% - 228K
Wii: 8.6% - 182K

PSV: 2.2% - 46K

Wait what's the problem? All the times I tried to extrapolate numbers, those don't count? =P
For a second I thought it was -810k and -545k and I was like "holy shit". Dumb moment.
3DS+NDS+PSV+PSP (or all portable sales) = 310k
Physical PC (I mean, physical as in Steam and company are not included) = 228k.
Thanks for the update!
Also, very surprised at Ni no Kuni performance, even if it means like 10k or less being no. 1 in some places.
Hitman was discounted to all hell just after xmas. Was as low as £14.99 at one point.
Ni no kuni wouldve sold even more if it wasnt for the lack of software, people have been going nuts trying to find it, there still isnt one in my town sold out every shop i had to wait till the banned site got stock in.

I don't know. I think Chart-Track does include bundles, but I'm not positive.

If they are from Chart-Track they will include bundled software, ie, NintendoLand.

70% of the software decline is Wii/DS everything is down a bit but those two are the big ones. Will be interesting to see if the next wave of systems really does anything.

In a way, I think the Wii U is a victim of generational fatigue - it's essentially 7 years lat to the party and isn't offering anything noticeably better than the PS360.
The interesting thing will be whether more new platforms can stem this tide.

Ignoring that stupidity, does anyone know how much it actually sold?
Also, they sure don't enjoy handhelds in the UK do they?
We'll know in a year if people are just tired of this gen or if they're just tired of gaming. My money is on the former. Nintendo could have offered some powerful tech and a sleek new Metroid or Zelda, and they chose to go lo-fi with 2D Mario and a party game. Kinda hard to gauge the market based on that since it's pretty much doing that poorly in every region.
Did Namco Bandai even do any promotion? IIRC, the only promotion came from word-of-mouth of fans who were excited about the Wizard Edition and the subsequent shenanigans.

For amount of hype, I think it is. DMC was also day 1 I think but that didn't have the same level of demand judging by that chart.

Wasn't Far Cry 3 day 1 psn?

I think so. I believe that Battlefield 3 is the biggest one in terms of name. Or maybe Fifa 13.

I'm under the impression that there has been too much talk about it, but it seems to be more and more common to see a day 1 PSN release. Devil May Cry and Dead Space 3 are also available on PSN right now for example.I wasn't aware that those games all had day 1 PSN releases (I don't really follow console releases of PC games

Based on jvm's figures:
So I did a few calculations with these figures.
Total sales Jan 2012 - 2778
Total sales Jan 2013 - 2111
Market decrease of 26%
Now let's look at the detail.
Nintendo vs non-Nintendo:
Total Nintendo platform sales in Jan 2012 - 999k
Total non-Nintendo platform sales in Jan 2012 - 1779k
Total Nintendo platform sales in Jan 2013 - 467k
Total non-Nintendo platform sales in Jan 2013 - 1644k
Nintendo YoY decrease - 53.3%
Non-Nintendo YoY decrease - 7.6%
Non-Nintendo YoY decrease consoles only - 3.5%
So, is it the UK market that's dead, or Nintendo that's dead in the UK?
I hope this myth that gaming is dead in the UK ceases to exist, it's Nintendo that are in serious decline. A new generation of consoles from Sony and MS would more than fix the current problems for their own decline.

It doesn't fit with the numbers we got from Nintendo anyway. Problem is, people are being overly defensive of Nintendo and are quick to write off the UK as crashing or as an anomaly in the bigger picture.
It takes too long to explain the real situation though... or at least longer than people will pay attention for.

Eurogamer had it on their adverts for a while. A couple of adverts in Neo IIRC (anime/manga print magazine in the UK). Banner placement on the Playstation Store (Only saw the web version though).
Not exactly "mass public" marketing but it was there
