New threads for new DOOOOM
Goes to show how big the gap is between the BIG successes and the not so big successes... COD outselling all those huge franchises is insane

Mainland Europe: where Assassin's Creed on PS3 sells twice as much as Halo (which sells the same as farming simulators and Zumba).

It is a poor showing for sure, and the install base is still super small. However, no gaming device handheld or console has been so digitally driven than the Vita. Every game available for the device is available digitally and that has to eat into the retail sales enough to the point where titles aren't charting even on the top 100.
EDIT: By no means am I also trying to say that if you combined digital and retail sales of Vita titles they would be in the top 20 either. I would love to know the split in sales though.
How long it took Halo 3 to reach 100k in Germany.?
Just want to know if the series is going up or down..

I imagine the 360 is all but dead in Germany at this point. I'd be amazed if the numbers ended up even comparable.
Xbox had always a difficult standing in germany. PS3 online is free and Credit Cards (for Live Gold) were not so common around younger people.
Still no Euro Wii U numbers announced ....

I think CoD starts going up this time of year every year.
Do something? what would they do this early?. It was never going to do wii numbers and consoles on the whole are having a hard time of it in the uk. Even the super cheap 360 and ps3.
France Week 49:
By the way, are these datas below for launch weeks ?
Edit: from last week a missed Gamekult (FR website) article about the Wii U launch with some French sales. They don't say from where comes their datas ("our own source") > less than 45K systems sold first week-end (Week 48). 65K at the end of the following week (Week 49, I hope for Nintendo it's 45K + 65K, asked on Twitter, waiting for the answer). Article also point to some stock issues. For the same period the article say the 360 did 35K and the PS3 80K.

And so NSMB2 entered French top 5 too in week 49. I'm curious to see where it will be in the various cahrts this week.
And yes, DrWong, those sales are all UK's first week.
And here's the UK individual top 40
http://www.chart-track.co.uk/index.jsp?c=p/software/uk/latest/index_test.jsp&ct=110032
3 of the four 3DS titles rising again compared to last week ( only NSMB2 sees a little drop), COD Vita appears out of nowhere, finally Sonic & ASR Transformed appears.
I could extrapolate some numbers later, since we have Halo 4 and possibly numbers for other titles.

It does but not normally so much. Usually like 2-3% ala Halo.
I didn't say they will or even necessarily should do something this early, just that the situation wont improve until they do. And whilst the UK market might not be brilliant atm it certainly isn't in such dire straits that the Wii U it explains or excuses the Wii Us performance there.
The launch in the UK has been below all expectations. Not by a little, by a country mile and then some.

This might have caught Nintendo of guard, more than people realize. Nintendo bet on Nintendo Land for a mass market Wii Sports-like appeal but that didn't work out and Mario for the first time in ages is proving to be very lackluster in sales. Now there's this gap in releases they didn't see coming. They'll be rushing to finish games and put them out, except the market moves much faster than it did back in the N64 days and they don't have the time. And even then no one can be sure they'll be able to provide an experience as groundbreaking as Mario 64 or Zelda OOT were back in the day to save an entire system from obscurity.

Only reason that's there is because of bundles. Looks like SCE and MS are finally reaping the harvest of their "investment" in HD gaming.
I'm thinking the company can't be this clueless? You could see from a mile away that they would be caught in a pincer movement; between smartphone and tablet casual gaming on the one side to the firmly established HD twins -- with their low prices and mature library of cheap games -- on the other.
Your link isn't working, I think this is the article you are referring to. (pretty good summary too)
I think that depends more on how its doing in the other regions.

Nintendo Land only dropped 4 spots on the revenue chart (19-23) so it probably didn't really drop in sales as much as a bunch other games had their prices slashed and moved ahead as a result.
Yep! Link fixed. Thanks.
Its a limited bundle that is more expensive than the normal bundle seeing it comes with the pro controller. I wouldnt read anything into it, i dont think people get that for games on wii u to chart more or less every single person who bought a console would have to buy said game for it to chart.
I'm fascinated by Nintendo having these difficulties in UK compared to other territories, especially other European countries. I've seen people here saying it's due to UK prices, others said it's because seemingly smartphones / tablets took over much Stronger than other territories...what could the reasons be, in the end?
We're not daft enough to buy duff hardware with anaemic release schedules.

Give me dem 20 ambassador titles and announce something that at least resembles a goddamn lineup in an emergency Direct.
Hopefully this isn't a case like Vita, in which Sony simply didn't give a shit and let the thing decay.
Nintendo was never that strong or popular in UK - last gen with DS and Wii was something very special. Now its pretty much back to normal.
It also doesnt help that Nintendo is charging more and more for their systems with every new release.

For the WiiU's problems, 3DS games do like to knock around that top 40 chart.
It is strange, I've not seen one ad since before launch.
I know a number of companies are more interested in the POST Christmas market, bit like Japan's New Year money influx leading to sales, people getting money/gift cards at Christmas is making more sense to some.
But still, not like the WiiU will be big in those sales (or will it).
Its odd.
Something appears to be going on anyway.
I did say though that slipping chart positions would be bad and this looks BAD. Least for the time being.

France numbers seem ok for this price-point like I expected, not Wii-level, but anyway.
Google Translate says that it sold 45.000 in the first weekend and 65.000 in the following week (that's LTD of 110.000 units).

It's a combination of reasons from the moribund economy, higher prices [arising in part from Yen currency issues], pressure from smartphones and tablets and also from long games from previous platforms. ie Gamers' backlog.
Is Wii U doing that much better in Euro mainland?
The wording isn't precise, it could be 65k total. I think DrWong asked them on twitter though, we shall know soon enough.
If it is 110k total then it's pretty good but I'm not sure that is the case.
Some of you guys are quick to panic. Nintendo just needs to provide some good support in 2013 and make nice announcements in order to get people interested. A price drop/good bundle at the end of next year would be pretty good as well. Its obviously not a guarantee to fix things but they can't bend over just to make people buy it now rather than down the road when months down the road.
I kinda doubt a majority of people are that informed.

That sounds pretty fishy. Probably it means 65k in it's first two weeks.
How did Wii debut in France?
no, it's a business. Neither of those metaphors are relevant.

It sounds more like that from my rusty French... are there native French speakers to translate?
COD Vita. Still pretty dead.

Perhaps I'm giving individuals too much credit but you'd be amazed how austerity, a contracting economy and depressed wages concentrates peoples minds. ie Absolutely no chance of taking a punt on unproven platforms.

It's 45k first week and 65k by the end of the second week, not 65k in the second week.
Check again
I speak french fluently and like I said the wording isn't clear. "45k consoles sold the first week end, and just about 65k at the end of the following week" is what it says.
65k total seems to be the more logical number, but there's always a chance for it to be 110k with how the sentence is written.

Them COD on Vita TV adverts get lots of airplay in the UK. Sony really did think this would be a game changer.
Wonder how much they have spent marketing this game.
ah yeah. lol. Likely to be bundles I guess.
