PAL Charts - Week 28, 2008

Nintendo's Pro Bono PR Firm
Europe belongs to Nintendo.
Mario Kart+WiiFit+Smash Bros are selling so well Nintendo doesn't want to provide new games that could canibalize these sales. Thus E3 this year.

I would almost call that...unhealthy. Luckily gaming is a global thing.

MGS4 and Buzz are out already. The writing was on the wall with last week's chart but it's still strange. But seeing that MKWii outsold GTA4 on PS3 (and probably combined with 360) you can really sense the tight grasp Nintendo has here.

The fuck is this shit? No GTA4? No MGS4? No PC, PS3 or 360 games at all?

And High School Musical?! No wonder we get treated shit. We don't deserve any better with a top 10 like that.

Not actually that important
If you're wondering why there's no sign of Mario Kart Wii on Italy's chart is just because there hasn't been any since 6/8 weeks at the very least.
The biggest mall in my city get roughly 3 copies every friday at the most.
I'm still MKwii-less, sad panda indeed :-/

This is going to be slightly 'OT' but does anyone have an idea of what HAZE sold either in the UK or in Europe in general?

I was talking to a friend of mine in retail (UK) and he said that he had been surprised by how well the game had done. Bare in mind that could just mean the game sold two copies rather than none.

Also, stores in the UK such as Woolworths have started selling HAZE for 25 quid brand new which I know screams bomba but even still I'm curious.

Nintendo is murdering in Europe. And when they don't even release new software, their old ones just keep on trucking. I wonder if the "triforce" that is Brawl, Mario Kart and Wii Fit will continue to sell as well up untill Wii Music and Animal Crossing City Folk will hit Europe (AC: Wild World was pretty big in Europe).

:O :O :O It's quite telling when you see a full top 10 with almost all older releases constantly selling. Mario Kart is 2.5 fucking years out in Europe, BT 2 years and More BT is more then a year old. And all titles are first party :lol

Christ. Nintendo's dominating every country there is. The Netherlands? The UK? Australia? France? Spain? Japan? America?

I have a strong feeling these titles are going to sell through the holidays. I think Nintendo's getting away with releasing less because of their games' legs, not to mention third parties are having quite the success too.

Agree, just a new marketing campaign for the triforce and they would sell a tonne.

Yeah, if I was Nintendo, I'd direct additional Wii shipments to Europe too. Especially Germany. I mean Holy Fuck.
No supply constraints here in Germany since a long time now. WiiFit can be hard to get though.

Yeah, and when Nintendo put out those 3 new colours for DS, they put a lot of Mario Kart DS ads on tv. :lol The game has been out 2.5 years and it just gets a brand new ad campaign. (And it shot up the ranks afterwards, at least in the UK). The titles that have continued to sell are also the perfect games for repeating tv commercials. Wii Sports, Brain Training, Mario Kart, Mario & Sonic etc can be brought back at any time.

They have found the perfect way to combine marketing and product (Wii / DS). Hell, just by watching the Wii ads suddenly increase a lot, I know Wii are easy to find again (which will change soon because of the ads, like a cyclus)

When all these wii owners emigrates to 360 Sony will be fucked.
No need to worry, Sony still has a 140 million playerbase to count on! They said it themselves at e3 so it must be true!

Why do all Sony fanboys have The Simpsons avatars?

Dude why are you stalking me? :lol But seriously i can see this thread has taken a turn for worse, thankfully the new pal charts will be out today so their will be a new thread. O and for the record i am a fan of good games and own all 3 consoles so nope im not a 'sony fanboy', if i'm 'cheering' the most for sony at the moment then it's because i think they have the best games out or coming out.
