If you combined the 2 different Halo 3 sku's (like other charts do) then Halo would be top and therefore its quite understandable why a game that came out in the same week on the same console would suffer.

Did you just post three times in a row?

Anyways, I don't think the two fanbases are neccessarily the same persons. A lot of people play footie games exclusively. And while it seems that quite a fewof these PS2 owners upgraded to 360 it's not as much to crack the market. Watch PES sell better on PS3 as well in Germany.

No SingStar in the Top 10? Super Paper Mario already out, despite being heavily advertised? That's weird. The new Singstars probably came too late, they should have released them a year earlier. The hype has dried up a bit.

Well it did debut at No. 1 and was No. 2 last week. Fifa and Halo just overshadowed it. It's too bad we only have the top 10.

-Europe is slightly behind the USA in adopting next-gen platforms as shown by the PS2 version of FIFA 08 being the best selling one. (Whereas Madden 08 sold best on the 360). This should not be surprising since next-gen launched later in Europe.

I wouldn't use Fifa as proof. In the UK a HUGE percentage of Fifa's audiences are lower class chavs who probably can't afford next generation consoles yet. The type who kept their PS1's for years too. Not being snobby, but people who live in the UK will know what I mean. Chavs, yobs and the socially backwards tend to love the Fifa franchise. See also: Tomb Raider.

I'm not surprised it sold best on PS2.

Well yeah, but that's a console specific chart, PC sales have nothing to do with it.

It's also a genuinely good game over the last couple of years. It's constantly trying to improve itself which is more than can be said for Konami's stagnant series.

FIFA is also fun in single player matches, something PES hasn't really been for years.

Thx. Did we get this for every week? Can't remember.

Anyways has it been in the charts ever since release? If so then that's awesome. Highly deserved imo. Oh and TP is on the chart as well? Talk about serious legs.

What I find interesting is that in Germany and Spain, the PS3's Fifa sold more than the Xbox 360's Fifa given that the Xbox 360's user base is more than the PS3's due to the more than a year head start. Will this trend continue when the system seller, PES/winning eleven is released? Or even with other multiplatfrom games that are released at the same time from now on?

its been said a million times, halo 3 came out the same week so it was split between what to get. things would have been different had halo3 not been released that same week.

I didnt know the Fifa fans and the Halo fans were one of the same. One is an FPS and one is a sports title that have been THE GTA equivalent of sports titles in Europe which is a far stronger brand than Halo in Europe. I wonder what excuse you'll come up with next if the PES PS3 version outsells the Xbox 360's version? Better think of one now :lol

It will happen for PES, since this is seen as a PS brand too. It won't happen for every multiplat game though.

Oh wow. XBOX 360 users do not ever play more than a single genre. If they bought Halo by default they can't possibly be expected to play anything else. *gasp* Bail out 3rd parties, Halo am here!

Please try harder.

People sure bailed out on PGR4. :(

Only about ~11,000 players on the leaderboards. Even a week later, PGR4 was sent to die by being released in the wake of Halo 3. I sure as fuck wouldn't want to release a game within a month of H3, frankly.

Sadly, I still have PGR4 in the packaging. Picked it up the day it came out as well.

FIFA 08 PS3 seems to be performing better then the 360 version which is weird. The PS2 version dominating is to be expected and I wonder what legs Halo 3 will have outside the UK? :lol

Halo 3 seems to have hurt the sales of the 360 games that came out around it, particularly FIFA.

If you look at this week's MC charts, Halo dropped a spot, and most of the 360 games in the top 20 actually went up.

Normal buying habits will probably resume for the rest of Europe in due time as well.
