EA’s ‘The Sims 3’ (-48%) claims a second week at No1 even though sales have halved over the launch week.

Activision Blizzard debut at No2 with sci-fi action-adventure ‘Prototype’ from respected Canadian developer Radical Entertainment (Simpsons: Hit & Run, Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, Scarface: World is Yours, Crash Tag Team/Crash of the Titans). Last week’s big new entry, THQ’s ‘Red Faction: Guerrilla’ (-31%) only drops one place to No3 and Nintendo take No4 with ‘Wii Fit’ (+18%) - since being knocked off No1 back in week 21 by a steady stream of quality new releases, Wii Fit has risen 1 place per week over the last 3 weeks, perhaps in preparation for another assault on the top spot to complete that famous record-in-waiting (needs 3 more No1’s for the all time No1 record). THQ’s ‘UFC 2009: Undisputed’ (-36%) drops 2 places to No5 and EA’s ‘EA Sports Active’ (-28%) also relinquishes 2 positions now at No6. Activision Blizzard have the highest climber with ‘Call of Duty: World at War’ (+79%) climbing 9 places to No7 thanks to price promotion. Also of note this week is new entry ‘Grand Slam Tennis’ from EA at No13 which is the first Wii MotionPlus title available and was launched with or without the Wii MotionPlus device (also released this week and features in our Accessories tracking report). Note that Nintendo’s first title to make use of this device is coming out on July 24th (Wii Sports Resort).

Decent start for Grand Slam Tennis. It's the closest we've had to a true Tennis sim (though not quite there yet) in a good while, and it will be ncie if that effort is rewarded. Enough with the arcade tennis fluff, I say!
Nice to see it back
Yes.

O shit we just hit a gold mine!!! I cant do it now but someone should see what the the games are averaging per week with the places that they were in.

Bttb, just to make sure I'm understanding this correctly, the 10th highest selling game in the UK sold 33k for the entire month of April, correct?

It gives an idea how low these numbers are. The 20-40 positions are doing very low figures. Still worth tracking, but very low.

We already knew that positions 20-40 were doing between 3-5k. That means 20k a month for 4 weeks at 20 and 12k a month for 4 weeks at 40.

I didn't know that, personally. Thank you.
 
Infamous deserves to stick around the top longer than that. Gamers, particularly PS3 owners, are a bunch of idiots. Hey guys, it's okay to buy awesome games!

Dont worry most people dont know that. We had that leak a while ago with the numbers from the lower positions. When a game doesnt reach 100k (Silver award or whatever) after a game does like 4 weeks in the lower positions everyone always comes in and goes SEE SEE SEE the positions are worthless we dont know how much they are actually selling!! In actuality we probably have a pretty good idea its just its a lot lower than most people think (this is all non-holiday obviously).

There's a Father's Day DS/Layton bundle as well. I wonder if Curious Village will go platinum before Pandora's Box comes out.

Weird, according to ELSPA, KZ2 got its gold award (>200k) in March.
I'm quite surprised it's not in the Feb charts.

That's probably why, it didn't have to sell over 39k in February to get the award with those March sales.

Walk With Me barely mentions fitness and isn't a game. It's just a tool to encourage you to look at your walking and give Nintendo money. I've not hit my green light target today...

I made a largely ignored thread if people want more details.

Is it wrong that I want Wii Fit to break the "most number 1 weeks" record of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

It's right that you should want that. WWTBAM was across more formats I think and was £20 most places on PC. And was terrible as it only had about 1,000 questions...

In comparison WiiFit brings serious money into the industry and contains real games.

Wii Fit may be impressive, but most major game launches have beaten it in terms of chart position.

It just takes the place back the next week. :D

Everybody knows that Wii Fit is the final boss of software sales charts, and you only think it's defeated now because you didn't anticipate it's second form.

"It took Activision Blizzard almost half the year to do it, but the huge US publisher has finally scored its first All Formats No1 of 2009.

Sales of ‘Prototype’ are down 20% in its 2nd week of release, but with sales of last week’s No1 ‘The Sims 3’ falling by 49% , ‘Prototype’ pushes the popular PC phenomenon down to No2. Xbox 360 remains the dominant format for Activision Blizzard’s new open-world action title, Microsoft’s format accounting for 61% of sales, PS3 36% and PC 3%. ‘Wii Fit’ (-12%) climbs one place, skipping back into the Top 3 for the first time since it was deposed from the No1 spot over 4 weeks ago. The Ghostbusters film might be 25 years old, but a debut at No4 for the new Sony-published video game proves that it’s still a well-loved franchise. ‘Ghostbusters: The Video Game’ (98% PS3 & 2% PS2) debuts one place higher than Sony’s previous PS3 title ‘Infamous’ which was a new entry at No5 four weeks ago.

The price drop 2 weeks ago on ‘Call of Duty: World at War’ is still in effect, boosting sales by 59% this week as it jumps from No7 to No5, leaping ahead of THQ’s ‘Red Faction: Guerrilla’ (-46%) and ‘UFC 2009: Undisputed’ (-28%). Red Faction drops 3 places to No6, while UFC slips 2 places to No7. The bottom end of the All Formats Top 10 has a sporty theme with ‘EA Sports Active’ (-27%) down 2 places to No8, while Sega’s Virtua Tennis 2009’ (+33%) pops back into the Top 10, up 2 places to No9, helped by the release of the Wii MotionPlus compatible version. With Wimbledon starting this week EA’s ‘Grand Slam Tennis’ volleys its way into the Top 10, up 3 places to No10. Launched 2 weeks ago as the UK’s first Wii MotionPlus compatible title, sales this week are up 47%, more than double that of Virtua Tennis 2009 on Wii. There is also a strong second week for ‘Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings’ (+158%) which leaps from No32 to No13, while 505 Games have this week’s only other Top 40 new release with ‘ArmA II’ at No19."
