Transformers can change into anything, but this week there is no change for them at the top of the All Formats Chart as ‘Transformers: The Game’ from Activision holds on for a second week.

Both Pokemon games drop 40% in sales, but ‘Pokemon Diamond’ still shines brightest as No2, while ‘Pokemon Pearl’ slips 4 places from No3 to No7. There are still 8 games which are exclusive to Nintendo formats (DS and Wii) in the All Formats Top 10, although ‘Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree’ is expelled from the Top 10, down from No7 to No16, while ‘New Super Mario Bros.’ climbs 2 places, re-entering the Top 10 at No10. ‘Mario Party 8’ is the highest All Formats Top 10 climber, up 4 places to No5 as the Italian plumber notches up 3 Top 40 games (2 of which are in the Top 10). Nintendo’s dominance is further enhanced by this week’s only All Formats Top 40 new entry, ‘Trauma Center: Second Opinion’ on Wii, while Ubisoft’s ‘Surf’s Up’ has a successful 2nd week thanks to the launch of the film, entering the Top 40 for the first time at No11.

I get disoriented when people don't post the Full Price charts as well.

EDIT: For those that don't know how to look at these charts and will reply to my post "bu-bu- I count 10 PS3 games up there because Vegas is on PS3!"

methane47 said:

Does Vegas count for the 360?

Click to expand...

Jammy said:

Vegas on 360 is budget priced, so it doesn't show up in the best-selling 360 game list along with the other games... although it is the best-selling budget game for 360. It could be possible, but the bad thing about these PAL charts is that combined SKUs across multiple platforms are charted, so the only reason Transformers is higher than Pokemon is because Transformers is on however many platforms it is and Diamond is only on DS.

Vegas for PS3 is the fifth best selling game on the system, but the last game that showed up on either list for the PS3 is Formula 1, meaning that even though Vegas is above it on the All/Full Charts, it is likely because of the 360 version among others.

jjasper said:

So why does it show up as #21 on full price ahead of F1? PC/PSP version?

Click to expand...

felipeko said:

Going by Jammy's logic we have:
5 X360 titles on the top 40, 3 of them being 3rd party titles;
12 Wii titles on the top 40, 6 of them being 3rd party titles;
3 PS3 titles, 0 3rd party.

I think i can live with that

Hoy shit, the Trauma Center debut is really strong.

I'm very tempted to buy it but since they already announced another TC game with 16:9 and 480p support and TC is full price I'll probably wait until it hits the bargain bin. It's a smashing success for Atlus already.

PS3 exclusive titles seem to have relatively dipped in a week of low releases, are the bundles starting to pick up the sales from the in-store packs finally?

Didn't see one single spot here in Germany. Which doesn't mean there aren't any, since I'm not watching much TV, but I'm still curious how well it's received here.

Busty said:

I can't believe, that Resistance is still number one in the UK PS3 charts. Is that because it probably has a 1:1 tie in ratio for people buying the PS3, it's the game that everyone gets?

Though in saying that, I'm assuming that the chart isn't including pack in games towards it's final tally seeing as both Resistance and Motorstorm are part of the 'summer starter pack' promotion.

Jaded Alyx said:

Yep, no doubt helped by Nintendo publishing and subsequently marketing the game too.

Do bundled games count? Cause that would explain it, since both Resistance and Motorstorm are bundled with PS3's now.

Phife Dawg said:

The slow decline of both Resistance and Motorstorm in the charts hints at the "old" in store bundles slowly selling out and "new" bundles selling more (which don't count since they're shipped with the games).

dyls said:

I get the first part, but why does it necessarily mean that the "new" bundles are selling more?

Click to expand...

nli10 said:

Exactly - this is the first week since the 'price drop' that the games haven't risen, either suddenly demand has stabilized (unlikely) or some stores are running out of launch machines and selling the new packs (likely).

Not such a great week for the PS3 games this week...

And I will never understand how the hell games like Transformers continue to be on top... The game completely sucks.
