PAL Charts - Week 21, 2013

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
I'm more surprised with the sales performance of Fire Emblem: Awakening in the UK market. This is its 6th consecutive week charting in the top 40.

03 (NE) 3DS FIRE EMBLEM: AWAKENING (NINTENDO)
13 (03) 3DS FIRE EMBLEM: AWAKENING (NINTENDO)
15 (13) 3DS FIRE EMBLEM: AWAKENING (NINTENDO)
27 (15) 3DS FIRE EMBLEM: AWAKENING (NINTENDO)
30 (27) 3DS FIRE EMBLEM: AWAKENING (NINTENDO)
31 (30) 3DS FIRE EMBLEM: AWAKENING (NINTENDO)

Yes, it's quite surprising seeing Fire Emblem still in charts. Low positions now, but it's still there. A surprise...and maybe another sign 3DS hardware sales improved in the last few weeks?
 
I didn't check that Amazon UK thread, but people didn't realize that with how terribly Wii U is doing in Europe even an 2000% increase would not be great sales? Also that Amazon is not even a majority of the sales coming from the UK.
 
Great stream of games actually move hardware? Who would've thought!

Nice to see the 3DS doing well in Europe. DKCR at #1 is shocking.

Hey look Luigi dropped off it pedestal!
By another 3DS game?
And Lego City is still there?
WTF is happening in this country?

Nintendo is showering us with ads something crazy!

I've seen the FEA, LM2, LC, Pokemon DM and DKCR ones thousands of times by now.

I think DKCR is going to be in the top next week, perhaps first even.

It'll come back to Nintendo games being the top 5?
Woah successor of DS indeed!

Seeing Luigi so...strong makes me think Nintendo Directs seriously reach a broader audience than we thought. That and the fact that the "Buy 3, get 1 free!" promotion is coming on TV / is already on TV: http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/3ds-game-giveaway-gets-tv-ad-push/0115897?

“In terms of marketing activity, we will be promoting the trailer on YouTube as well as on our social media channels. The promotion will also be featured as a tag on all TV ads for games included in the promotion between now and the end of June and will deliver over 1,000 TVRs. So we really hope this promotion will be a success in highlighting that there has never been a better time to own a Nintendo 3DS.”
 
Great to see these 3DS titles chart, considering some of them were and are suffering from shortages.


For a while? They have been always pro Nintendo and Japanese media. But since the DS their love got even bigger.
I wasn't sure how far back France has been pro Nintendo, so I said awhile.

Four Wii U games out last week (RE:R, LEGO Batman 2, Sniper Elite, Fast & Furious) and not a single one in the top 40.

Not good.

Any ideas of RE:R numbers? Wii U apparently did 10% but still not in the chart.

Can't wait to get an XL at Christmas. Hoping to get a Pokemon Bundle of some sort. Just so many good games on the thing now..
 
In the UK yes, but that's the exception. The other markets are Sonyland.

Well some rare titles that have been exclusively on Xbox in the past tend to sell more on X360 even in mainland Europe (for example Mass Effect) but yeah 95% of multiplats sell better on PS3.

It's Fast & Furious I want to see numbers for. That Wii U 1% must represent a dozen copies sold at best.
 
Ok guys. The nordic numbers are up...

Can SOMEBODY explain to me how Sly fuckin Cooper can beat new Resident Evil release? How? There must be some bug with Sly being so high for so fuckin long. There is no other explanation.

Or is there like some promotion for pickin up Sly for 2€ over here or something that went under my nose?

UK

Week ending 25 May 2013
Revenue: £6.8mm
Units: 309.5K

Month of May 2013 (28 April - 25 May)
Revenue: £28.2mm (-38.0%)
Units: 1.266mm (30.1%)

YTD
Revenue: £228.9mm (-16.3%)
Units: 9.484mm (-18.5%)

As I feared, the market is falling further and further behind throughout a very dry summer. The best point so far this year, relative to 2012, was the week ending 30 March 2013, at which point the market was down only 10.5% in revenue and 15.0% in units.

Now look at it. Going to be a very long, depressing summer unless something changes.
 

Pie and Beans

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Now look at it. Going to be a very long, depressing summer unless something changes.

One would assume E3 would be the time for the final absolute mass-market price drops of the 360 (that mini thing thats rumoured) and PS3.

But then they may want to ride whatever profit they can get to buffer on any loss-selling their next gen boxes will be slicing off the top.

Torturously slow times, hibernation almost, but cheers for the stats as always.

Sly is like crack up there, no mistake.
 
Wow that's worse for FUSE than I'd have expected. I mean it didnt seem destined to do that well but barely scrapping the Top40 is pure bomba territory :(

And it means there will be few playing it online... Where the game excels, defeating the purpose of the game in the process.

Ah well should be bargin bin soon enough.

France week 21:

1 - Donkey Kong : Country Returns 3D 3DS - Nintendo
2 - Luigi's Mansion 2 3DS - Nintendo
3 - FIFA 13 PS3 - Electronic Arts
4 - LEGO City : Undercover Chase Begins 3DS - Nintendo
5 - Resident Evil : Revelations PS3 - Capcom

I think Nintendo/3DS is leading the charts here for more than 2 months now.
