No idea about Motorstorm though.
I don't think any of them are shovelware. The darts minigame in Monkey Ball controlled quite well though, so if they did at least that well and fleshed it out a bit then it might be a decent game for the darts fans at least, of which the UK has quite a few. Carnival Games might not be a core title, but that doesn't make it shovelware. Don't know about Jet Race though to be honest._Alkaline_ said:
I think the word shovelware gets thrown around way too much. Some people use it to simply describe games they don't like. It should be reserved for games with clearly little effort aimed at those who buy on the strength of box art alone, such as Ninjabread Man and its ilk. Horsez is not shovelware.

I guess.
I wouldn't expect much from that darts game though. I can't even find a review for it.
The bundles effect is highly overrated. Released from mid-July to September (with the bundles also being different from country to country). Resistance had sold over 700k before it released in Europe and it did between 500-600k there before the bundles released (MotorStorm was shoulder to shoulder with it).

I read a review on Gamecentral (tv text service) Said it controlled very well, players had a good likeness to real counterparts but marked it down because its cheaper/easier to buy a dartboard than a game.

probably shows which version of the game they were worried about selling more... I keep seeing more and more 360 games coming out ridiculously cheap, games companies think they can still bleed the early adopters (in this case ps3 atm) and it seems to be working. But it will come in line soon, when they realise which of the consoles will win of the two in the end.I own both, but ps3 will win in the end, I bet a ban on this.

I'm a big fan of pushing the Value chart but you go to far!
Wii Play & PDC darts are the only Wii top 10 games this week in any chart. Wii Play's retail value is clocked at around £10 for the value chart so it always charts real low. No way could Wii even hope to compete under your rules!
Even using the full value top 40 truncates the Wiis impact so why not use the full data we have available to get:
9 X360
9 PS3
7 DS
14 Wii
1 PC
Oh - hang on. I think I see why...
In truth though for discounted games compare the position in the Values charts to that in the units chart. Using the full data is the only real way - using the headline stats like the 2 examples above only distorts the picture.

When I hear shovelware I think of "Barbies Adventure" and "High School Musical". Games like Big Game Hunter or Darts might not be your Gaf taste and thus crap, I wouldn't call them shovelware. Ports like Ghost Squad or RE:4 are just that - ports, not shovelware.

Well it has seen decent success in PAL land but it wasn't that succesful in the US and I think it performed according to expectations in Japan (bad). I don't know where that puts the title overall. Anyways calling it a bomba may be a bit harsh but is not as far fetched as other things I read at GAF so I think getting worked over it is a bit of an overreaction.TheBranca18 said:
In the case of Wii, not really since a lot of games are budget on release (Carnival, WiiPlay, Ghost Squad) and are generally cheaper than games for PS3/360. Especially in the case of PS3 with their recent RRP for first party titles.spwolf said:
But we all know what you're trying to achieve. Please continue.
nli10 said:
I am just saying - as I always did, that correlating sales to top 40 positions is stupid. In this particular cases, 9 Wii games are between 25th and 40th positions. Considering how top heavy game sales are, thats not really an great success.
And I was saying that when 360 and PS3 had more games in top 40 and when Wii had 5-6 only.
So it looks like SELL has finally lost its headstart for 2008.

Its for January, I suppose it covers (from Dec 31) until 27th January and thus it doesn't cover Burnout first week. It would have charted in the PS3 Top10 at least...Wollan said:

Pretty much that Burnout PS3 looks outsold 360 version in Europe.
Now wait for few weeks to see if DMC4 can do for PS3 again. Damn I wish we have the numbers so that we can see how 2 DMC4 versions doing most in the world.
[edit] And WOW for PS3 softwares on top ten Germany.

Thanks. I would've expected M&S at the first spot - Dr. Kawashima can't be beat it seems. Good entry for both DMC and Turok - though I guess the latter won't have legs.CubeRevolution said:
Oh god no. Who buys these stupid C.E.'s anyways? I wouldn't mind having the regular sit at No. 1 and the C.E. nowhere in sight.DMPrince said:

Im loling at you :lol
For most of fans of DMC, DMC = playstation brand. Just read the whole dmc thread on gaf, where they go about the dual shock is the only possible controller to play DMC on etc...
Same for PES, and GTA, they are "playstation" games for a lot of people here.

How so? 360 is dead in the water here. There were a couple of posters telling that on numerous occasions now.Lightning said:
C.E.s sadly have made a regular appearance on the charts. With Math Training and M&S launching I didn't expect the 360 version to appear in the Top10. It may have a larger install base but even before the huge price drop and the big christmas sales 360 games rarely made an appearance on the charts and if they did quickly left.reminder said:
Strange, haven't seen any - maybe over the weekend.

I don't see the fun really. Just like Uncharted's huge ad campaign doing nothing for the game's sales - equally funny? Don't remember you laughing at thatLightning said:
. MS dropping the price 100 during the PS3 launch without anything significant happening wasn't funny either - more like a tragedy.One amongst many problems, but certainly a big one. Especially considering you don't have to pay to play online with said PC games and they are usually 15 cheaper.Psychotext said:
