New IPs should have a rather aggressive marketing campaigns. Nintendo always sends games to die. They only invest in advertising for games like Kart, Smash or Pokemon. I can't say I've ever seen them push anything else, like there was never any chance for such games to do well to begin with. Nintendo's marketing arm is a fucking joke...

Jesus, Bureau PS3 didn't even make it into the top forty.

2k can't be happy with its performance. They really should have taken my advice and released it digitally for around £20 - £25 instead of retail for £40.

Yep. The way they treated Disaster Day of Crisis a few years ago(And to a lesser extent those JRPGs everyone got so worked up about) was truly shocking. Sent to die in Europe and denied any sort of release in the US, the largest single games market. Seriously, who the fuck does something like that?

The fact that Disaster was the best first party title they released on the Wii was what really stung imo. Was around that time I started to lose interest in Nintendo's output coincidentally enough.

Nordic countries must be the only places where PS2 games sell enough copies to be able to compile a weekly top 20 sales chart, and by enough copies I mean 5 or 6 units

Thanks. I don't kno why I forgot FFXIV, though. Maybe because it came out a few days earlier than the usual day for European releases (Friday).

Yeah I had to double check it wasn't a nuclear bomba from last week lol

 

[Visualante2]

DIsney Infinity's abysmal performance on WiiU will be alarm bells for both Activision and Disney. It's pretty telling that the system has a very core audience right now if Wonderful 101 can outsell it. Third party support is dead. Can't wait to see Rayman Legend's position next week.

I'm guessing that it's about the same.

Pretty generous guess I'd say.

So did Nintendo prevent the Guardian posting splits or what?

Two big new releases and Fifa 13 still on top.

03 (08) PS2 KINGDOM HEARTS (PLATINUM) (SQUARE ENIX EUROPE)

WHY WOULD YOU BUY THAT?

Glorious Final Mix HD is out in 2 weeks! Sthap! Also who the fuck has Dirge of Cerberus on shelves?

Edit: Wait a sec... Sly 4 dropped from Nordic charts? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Damn you new multiplat releases!

Fifa is on sale, SR predesscors were cut to the unplayable, uk versions were banned. Don't know about splinter cell, but it was never big here.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't surprised. Probably says more about the lack of success that the ports are having, but it's heartening to see that Wii U owners are at least going for a third party title that appeals to them.
