Assist trophy. All players have to solve a puzzle before they can move again.

That would help to explain the lack of Crash Bandicoot, Cloud and Solid Snake in the game.
Every time I randomly pop my head into one of these UK sales charts they numbers are exactly the beacon of video game heaven in terms of sales.

Not surprising considering UK is Xbox land. Also, why are we making separate threads for specific releases? Trolling?
I don't see how the poor Playstation sales argument makes sense.
They get like at least 40% of sales on most multiplatform sales, so at least 40% of the market has a PS3.
Yep, I meant LittleBigPlanet.Assuming you meant LittleBigPlanet, that first game did over 4.5 million worldwide. Even if this game didn't bomb in the UK it's never touching that.
When do people in the uk do their christmas shopping?
Huh? I seen ads.Question, does Sony advertise the game over there cause I haven't seen anything here in the US for it.
Wonderbook is a hit, though!
The thing is, most games don't get TV adverts. It's not really normal to put a game like that on TV. I don't think I've ever seen a SSB TV ad, yet it still did 10 million units at the last attempt.

Not surprised it bombed at all. There's no sizeable market for it and that was obvious from the beginning.
I must say I'm generally a fan of Yoshida but the first party Q4 lineup for PS3 is just bad, and it falls at his feet. MS receives plenty of criticism for their first party output but at least you know they will have some big hitters out in time for the holiday sales.
Pretty much the only country in Europe the ps3 is in 3rd place
Inspired by the german nazi soldiers, you mean?I don't see what's so great or iconic about the Hellgast design, as its completely inspired by / stolen from Jin-Roh, a 1999 anime.

Well, Starhawk sucked :/Been playing this non-stop since last tuesday. I didn't even expect this to be that good, since the beta was just alright.
Its pretty fun, and honestly if it didn't do well, people didn't know about it.
I don't know why some of you guys are surprised considering how Sony botched Twisted Metal's and Starhawk's release with no marketting whatsoever, then cancelled the contracts with the devs.
I honestly think that some of you guys just never watch TV. It's impossible to watch certain programs (particularly sports) without being bombarded with videogame advertisements.
2 weeks in the top 30 is not enough to call it a hit by any stretch of the imagination
I've actually seen a PSABR advert, which was my point.
To say that TV advertising is a key thing is incorrect. The audience for this sees ads on official blogs, enthusiast websites, shop websites, magazines, console storefronts, in-stores, mailshots from marketers. TV advertising is generally used for only really huge titles, at least here in the UK.
A lot of people have been focusing on deals and stuff like Black Friday.
Is there anything like Black Friday in the UK? Do people in the UK import BF and Cyber Monday deals?
What sort of numbers are we looking at for a chart placing of 38th? That's got to be just a couple of thousand units, right?
Can't say I'm surprised the game did badly though. I mean we're just out from call of Duty and Halo et al launching. There's new Nintendo hardware out next week. A lot of people have been focusing on deals and stuff like Black Friday. Hitman has just released and is generally already at cheaper prices to steal the new release thunder. I'd say all that, combined with the fact it's a pretty mediocre proposition anyway and not had the greatest marketing, make this a pretty predictable bomb.

The game is awesome,we will see how it does overtime.So does the game deserve these kind of numbers? Is it bad? I mean if its actually good and fun to play I could see having a really long tail like SSB does.

Another aspect that could have hindered it's sales is simply launching in the month of November, against the likes of BLOPS 2, Halo 4, etc. It definitely doesn't help that's for sure. Shame it got delayed slightly.
It rose 5 places, even with 3 new releases in front of it. That doesn't often happen without a price drop. It's early days, but it seems to have some word of mouth going. Should do well in the long run.
I didn't expect it to do fantastically, but that's worse than I'd expected. A good bit worse.
Well, Starhawk sucked :/
And they haven't really canceled the contracts.
They expired (ESP).
And yes, the game is great fun
Probably not because of the character selection.
I mean, they got all the classics like Crash Bandicoot, Cloud, Spyro, Alucard, right? Right.
