[papelnabangka]

k&l bomba!

[Gagaman]

36 (__) [WII] Red Steel (Ubisoft) 37 (__) [WII] Gt Pro Series (Ubisoft) Seriously?!

Must be selling for cheap now. Brits love cheap games, even if they're shit =)

[sionyboy]

Woah, Mass Effect takes a tumble. It was sold out in my local Asda today as well. Assassin's Creed 360 is still doing very well, SMG hanging in there still.

DS and Wii titles are starting to make their way up the charts as Xmas gets closer, 360 looks like its going to have a very good Xmas as well.

[AnIco]

36 (__) [WII] Red Steel (Ubisoft) 37 (__) [WII] Gt Pro Series (Ubisoft) Seriously?!

If you want to buy a Wii in the UK, it invariably means that you're forced to buy a bundle with shitty games.

[Busaiku]

36 (__) [WII] Red Steel (Ubisoft) 37 (__) [WII] Gt Pro Series (Ubisoft) Seriously?!

Yeah, what's up with that?

Mario Galaxy has great legs in Europe though, that's great to see.
Oh, that's a bad start for RE:UC though.

[Stop It]

37 (__) [WII] Gt Pro Series (Ubisoft)

Oh.....snapplecakes.

Also, Mario & Sonic going UP to no2? the advertising is working, yikes.

[needlejuice]

36 (__) [WII] Red Steel (Ubisoft) 37 (__) [WII] Gt Pro Series (Ubisoft) Seriously?!

Bundles

[Kildace]

Where's Uncharted? Has it released yet?

[sionyboy]

Where's Uncharted? Has it released yet?

No, released this Friday. Look for it in next weeks thread.

[justjohn]

this week.

[donny2112]

felipeko,

Can you do a graph showing "Dr Kawashima's Brain Training" U.K. ranking since you've been doing these threads? I'm really surprised that's it's the #1 game this week and seeing its slow rise looking back in the past few PAL threads. Thanks!

[Chinner]

Mass Effect : (

[Wollan]

Where's Uncharted? Has it released yet?

Releasing this week. Alongside SingStar PS3 as well (both Dec 7th).

[Kildace]

No, released this Friday. Look for it in next weeks thread.

Good, I was worried for a second.

[rage1973]

The Call of Duty games always sold that well in UK?

I would think so since the major team in the game involves fighting as a British force.

[Gowans007]

those Phil & Fern DS ads that are everywhere are really paying off then

[Pureauthor]

at Brain Training.

[SovanJedi]

01 (02) [NDS] Dr Kawashima's Brain Training (Nintendo) 22 (28) [NDS] New Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo)

*Makes small choking noises*

[slaughterking]

Uhm, we have seen a strong performance of the Brain Age games last week, but to see how they are rising even more is quite...interesting. And Mario & Sonics improvement isn't that bad either. I wonder where that came from.

[SovanJedi]

7th place.

I'm not surprised at all. A DS lite + Brain training games is the ideal, no brainer gift for .. pretty much anyone over 12 who doesn't have a DS yet. I wouldn't be that surprised if they topped the charts all through december.

[felipeko]

Yeah, but you want all price charts (i can do for all year), or units (from week 33 to now) one?!

[Jokeropia]

Dr. Kawashima is immortal.

NoE needs to get their game shipping process in order btw. Mario Galaxy has been sold out on Amazon UK and Amazon Germany pretty much since release and falls in and out of stock on Amazon France as well. (You can order it at the moment, but the expected delivery time is 2-3 weeks.) I don't know if the availability in stores is better, but there really shouldn't be shortages anywhere.

[Speevy]

I think the asterisks all retailers were ordered to place on K&L are having an impact.

[schuelma]

As I suspected, M&S will be big in Europe.

And will do damn well in N.A

When I was on my Wii-huntin' escapades last Saturday around the south of the UK, Super Mario Galaxy was available in quite reasonable supplies in every store I went into. Except Hawkin's Bazaar, because that would just be silly if it was available in there.

[sionyboy]

I think the asterisks all retailers were ordered to place on K&L are having an impact.

Those "6/10 - Gamespot" stickers I've seen on the packaging have really got people talking as well.

[Frillen]

Brain Training is insane.

Seems like the Mario & Sonic ads are working wonders. They've pushed them really hard here in Norway atleast.

[Agent Icebeezy]

Pretty impressive for the 360 in the UK

[brain_stew]

I think the asterisks all retailers were ordered to place on K&L are having an impact.

What's the whole asterisks thing about? Did I miss some inside joke?

On another note, Brain Training is just unstoppable, its scary to think what sort of units it'll have sold by the end of this generation. I thought Mario & Sonic would rise, those adverts are doing the trick.

[donny2112]

Yeah, but you want all price charts (i can do for all year), or units (from week 33 to now) one?!

Units, please.

[Sho_Nuff82]

This chart covers Nintendo's record-breaking DS week right? Not surprising that Brain Training got such a huge boost, it makes a great holiday gift.

Wow at Assassin's Creed, 3 weeks in a row in the top 5 on one format.

Double Wow at Mario & Sonic going up in the charts.

Kanyezie and Lyznich actually aren't doing that poorly, on the All Format Full Price charts they're just behind Super Mario Galaxy (on a side note, FIFA is actually #3 despite not having a single SKU in the top 15). Eidos has to be pleasantly surprised considering the game reviewed much worse than say, Midway's Stranglehold.

[donny2112]

Stickies: Read them. ;)

[Frillen]

Units, the other is irrelevant.

And wow at The Simpsons DS. Really didn't think that that version would be the second best selling version.

[felipeko]

Units, please.

And i made the all prices too.. http://felipeko.googlepages.com/Brai...ice_charts.PNG

[Keyser Soze]

What's the whole asterisks thing about? Did I miss some inside joke?

Gamespot reviewed game, it scored low, advertisers got angry, complianed, gamestop fired reviewr, internet angry

[Draft]

The Europeans have rejected Mass Effect. I can understand why, but I still hate them for it.

[Jokeropia]

When I was on my Wii-huntin' escapades last Saturday around the south of the UK, Super Mario Galaxy was available in quite reasonable supplies in every store I went into. Except Hawkin's Bazaar, because that would just be silly if it was available in there.

Thanks, that's good to hear. I hope this is just an Amazon-exclusive problem.

Anyway, I'm not completely sure if this goes here or not, but I can't think of a better place to post it.

OP updated, thanks

[Speevy]

PS3 seems to be doing really well in all of Europe save for the UK. Why is this?

Because the Xbox 360 is doing really well in UK.

I know why, but I can't say.
