As for the sales of the 360 version, while Rockstar/Take Two might be happy with them, I'm not so sure 360 owners are entirely happy with what they got for their money... ;-)

360 owners have since long proven that they will generally buy and like just about anything, and that they like spending money. I'm sure they are happy.

PSP tends to have 0-2 titles in the chart week by week, usually a football or wrestling game as far as I remember. It would've bombed just as much there, I'm pretty sure.

some games won't sell on the wii because the gameplay doesn't suit .

Have you played Bully on the Wii? I have, and the gameplay fits perfectly, in spite of some occasionally odd button choices from the devs and the fact that it's a PS2 port.

Bully on Wii did sell... it was just outsold on units by budget stuff.

38th most amount of money put through retailers tills last week. Wii software seems to steady or rise in it's 2nd week too. Not the kind of performance thats gonna get a GTA game made especially for the Wii though I agree...

Slightly higher than Mario Galaxy in that chart too.


Nice showing for Dynasty Warriors 6 - can't wait to pick that up!

I wouldn't call Bully a bomb.

We never saw PotC and WCW do well yet they all past 100k!

Not charting did dissapoint me though :\ I'll see what happens next week though.

And Blue Dragon was being given away with 360s which is the main reason why it did so well last year. LO has legs and isn't getting given away. I'm surprised it's doing so well here to be honest.

The Uncharted Fanboyism in these threads is insane.
I dont want to imagine what happens when MGS4 or FF13 and the like are released.

Why? LO looks much more like FF than Blue Dragon does.

Any of my friends getting a PS3 have to deal with me demanding they pick up Uncharted. :lol

I assume I'm not the only one doing this.

Also, hooray for Army of Two, I'm very much enjoying it on my 360.

I tried a couple of supermarkets (Tesco + Asda) for Bully on Wii on Friday and I couldn't find it (Bully for 360 was available in both) - so it's not in plentiful supply (in the shops I tried) or the shops didn't order it based on past performance of similar titles on Wii (I don't know which). I considered picking up the 360 version instead but I thought I'd hang fire on that after the freezing issues uncovered on here.

And to think, if Microsoft even bothered to market it, it may of been doing a hell of alot better.

Also surprised wii's bully is far out, equally surprised 360's bully is so high up.

To be honest I expected it to be around number 30something. So i'm quite surprised, also surprised it's doing so well in other non-traditionally 360 territory (spain for one). I hope it continues to sell well.

I'm usually not a dedicated member of the cheer brigade but: Soulstorm \\o \o/ o// YAY!

Bully Wii not showing up is strange indeed. Should've incorporated Sonic or RE it seems. Didn't think Bully 360 would end up debuting that high either. With all the reported problems it might not stay that long though since word of mouth won't be good.

Sonic and the Secret Rings being able to top Super Mario Galaxy again this week is very disturbing -- mostly because you know... the game isn't anywhere near the quality of Super Mario Galaxy and that's it's outselling Mario on his own platform. Then again, SMG's sales were very frontloaded and Secret Rings won't ever catch up anyway, but it's still just so strange to see. I would like to see another single-player and solo Sonic game on the Wii however. Secret Rings had the potential to be very good but the whole mission setup of the game is retarded beyond belief. It need to be more simple classic Sonic point A to point B gameplay yet there was a completely unnecessary layer of complexity added to it that completely works against it instead.

Mm. They did exactly the same with NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams - there's a fantastic sequel in there, but instead of concentrating on perfecting/adding more courses they slapped on tedious challenges and boat races. In both cases, taking the time and budget assigned to the challenges and mini-games and feeding it back into the core game would have maybe resulted in games that lived up to the promise. As it is, we got a pair of flawed but fun titles, one of which is (sadly) unlikely to see a followup.

Not really. SMG has been in scarce supply for ages now - very rarely do I see its place on the shelves occupied by a display case instead of a "Not in stock" notice - and SatSR is now down to budget price (£20-25) IIRC. TBH, I'm happy to see it selling well, even if it is charting higher than SMG.

Is anyone interested in a combo Weighted/# in Top 40 chart? I don't think it would be as easy to read at a glance, but someone else may like it. :lol

Astonished to see any 360 game go top 5 in Spain... let alone Lost Odyssey.

I am amazed by this too compared to how 360 games chart this is a miracle in itself. Did Mass Effect chart this high? Or even Halo 3?

Halo 3 topped the charts, but Mass Effect tanked pretty hard after the first couple of weeks in Europe.

Luckily for Bioware, Mass Effect made up for it in North America.

Just checked back you are right, I guess Mistwalker efforts are actually paying off for Microsoft then. Hopes this mean more jrpgs then since there is obviously a demand for them.

YES Go Lost Odyssey. Finally one of Sakaguchi's games selling like they deserev to.

This is such a happy moment for me personally because I can't get enough of Mistwalker's games man.

Microsoft now knows they gotta continue working with Mistwalker.

Majority of Wii shipments will be going to the US for March I assume, so this will probably continue for the next couple of weeks.
