I'm surprised there is no Ratchet, I've seen the God-awful commercial so many times on TV it's unreal.

Yeah, despite the amount of people's definitions of the typical Xbox gamer and the typical Playstation gamer, either the same games or the same types of games have been charting for both systems in every country.
Obviously, this bodes very well for PS3 games like GT5 and Killzone 2, not so much for Little Big Planet and Afrika.
Not a bad debut for Scene It, if it was anywhere close to #10 on the US charts it would be an overwhelming success for MS, especially considering the minimal resources put into the game and the opportunity for yearly expansions and sequels.

Simpsons is quite a bit more well known to people than Ratchet is, and as such it's known not to be a kiddie thing. To the public, this Ratchet game is a mascot game starring a furry creature and his robot sidekick.

The release date was the 16th. Stores may have broken the street date, but it was officially the 16th (at least, it was here in the UK, which is the chart we're talking about). New releases are Fridays, period (barring the occasional exception like Halo 3, which got moved up to a Wednesday for near-simultaneous WW release).Yazan said:

Killzone 2 is going to be huge, whether it deserves it or not. Easily marketable, incredible presentation and it falls perfectly in line with market tastes.
Games like Ratchet will come in handy for the future, when the price of the system becomes more family friendly and the new buyers are looking at suitable systems. But for now, it's a bit sad to see it go this unnoticed.

Great for AC, COD4 and SMG. I expect AC to have the least legs of the 3, with COD4 and SMG battling it out here on out.
You mean people with similar taste in games? Possible. The PS3 has been over flowed with shooters so they haven't exactly attracted the platformer audience yet. Until they expand their audience, this will continue to happen. What Sony need to do is stop developing so many shooters in house, 3rd parties are providing plenty....BenjaminBirdie said:
The PS3, inspite of Ratchet, is still made up of too many shooters and only when Sony break free of that will they attract a wider audience.
Other then Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 I will be pissed if Sony develop more... Focus on other genres.

More than likely, especially as everyone will be buying GH3 this week.Grecco said:

The Collector's edition is 79 Euros currently on Amazon.de (only available for 360 at the moment and with 2-3 weeks wait). It's not just Ratchet that they overpriced though. Happend to Heavenly Sword for quite some time as well. Also 70 Euros on Amazon. Kind of defeats the purpose of first party games being a bit more affordable. To be fair though it must be said that pricing is a bit more reasonable in other stores but Amazon must get their prices somewhere.

No. It's the same people. I'd say there's no more than 300,000 - 400,000 users, in NA at least, but I'm sure its a similar phenomenon/ratio in the UK, that only own a PS3 and not both a PS3 and a 360.

It's even more expensive in the Netherlands with prices up to 75 euros. Sony's first party titles should be cheaper than 3rd party titles, not the other way round. Maybe one reason why R&C is severely underperforming is simply sticker shock, especially when games more in line with the average PS3 owner's taste like COD4 or AC are cheaper.

Go COD4!

I would suspect quite a few people (such as myself) import these days as well. The games are region free and in case of most of Sony's first party stuff multilingual as well. Something is wrong though when I can buy an imported game for 60 Euros and have to pay 70 Euros for my "native" version.

I'm calling next week:
1. GH3 PS2
2. GH3 360
3. Mass Effect
4. GH3 Wii
5. GH3 PS3
Edit: For UK
1. GH3 PS2
2. GH3 360
3. Mass Effect
4. GH3 Wii
5. GH3 PS3
Edit: For UK
I'd say that there are no way are there that many users out there who own PS3 and 360 at the current prices and game selection. So just like I said in the NPD, I think you are full of it.BenjaminBirdie said:
What you are trying to say is that 3/4 of the PS3 userbase in the US and now UK own 360's yet Madden 08 has sold over 500,000 on the PS3 so that means the rest of the userbase owns 360's? LOL. Keep thinking that.
No way.

If AC can beat SMG, I'm going to put GH3 360 over PS2.

I'm still waiting for one software debut to prove me wrong. Madden is a game that sells to all the people who buy PS3s between now and August. There probably are more than 500,000, look, It'd be silly to stand behind any concrete number, but I do believe that the phenomenon is a major factor in the software performance of PS3 games.

COD4 dropped 33% from last week. Assuming all 3 versions had an equal drop, at best Mario's debut was 34% lower than the 360 version of COD4.

In my town, I bought it on Friday and the store had sold out come Saturday. Though another store in town had it in stock... So I'm just guessing some places underestimated demand / received poor supply.Oxx said:

So that means the PS3 version sold how many?
What you are seeing is a clear difference in userbase size. The PS3 only has 1/3 the userbase of the 360 in UK therefore only gets 1/3 the sales. The same applies to the US, 1/3 or 1/4 the userbase = 1/4 the sales as well.BenjaminBirdie said:
Unless you are saying that the 360 userbase is stupid? Because the PS3 1st party lineup this year has sucked, really really sucked, yet you think that 3/4 of the PS3 userbase is made up of 360 owners? Totally doesn't make sense, no sense at all.
I can understand games like Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy XIII, Gran Turismo 5 etc... bring over owners that have 360's but nothing that the system currently has would attract them. Platformer fanbase though is niche, more casual/family, and the PS3 just hasn't attracted them yet.

I'm amazed though, that COD4's second week is still > Super Mario Galaxy. Say what you want about shortages, there has to be a good reason that Nintendo would send their #1 game for the fall out without a much bigger shipment or a much bigger push, whichever is to blame.
yep.

I don't think the 360 userbase can manage that. That would be 3 different No.1's in a row; and then you've got Mass Effect selling well.BenjaminBirdie said:

10th in the 360 chart: http://www.charttrack.co.uk/index.jsp?c=p/software/uk/latest/index_test.jsp&ct=110027
I think saying it bombed would be a bit premature. Given the type of game it is, I wouldn't think it's as front loaded as most games. But then again it's on the 360.
