Sony will want to keep that card close to their chest. Remember retail won't be happy if it sold better on PSN. They'll be asking for an even bigger cut on first party games.iceatcs said:Yeah I hope we will get the number of total download for PSN from Sony. Maybe Gamers Day?

Not really different from last week tho.
Good point. Forgot it was a dual release.cgcg said:I wonder what sale's like for GT: P on the PSN store.
plus that means that we will get cheap PES games the whole generation..marc^o^ said:These european Wii sales are incredible.
I'm so glad to see PES being a hit there. It pretty much guarantees a sequel, and the thought of an enhanced version of this amazing game just makes me happy.
Any data is useless in the wrong context.brain_stew said:Honestly this chart is kind of useless, I doubt even the bottom 20 games all together will have outsold Mario Kart Wii. Uncharted lingered around there forever yet still hasn't broke 200k despite passing 100k along time ago. On the other hand Mario Kart has sold somewhere not all that shy of 200k this past week.
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/uk-retail-sells-17-89-million-games-in-q1The UK videogames industry has recorded an all time high for first quarter software sales, with retailers selling 17.89 million units and earning GBP 418.4 million.
The figures, provided by analysts Chart-Track, show an increase of nearly a third on the results from December 30 to March 29 last year, when 15.62 million units were sold and GBP 317 million earned.
"We are thrilled to see the industry continue to grow at such a rapid rate and videogame sales continuing to rise," said Paul Jackson, director general of ELSPA.
The figures also revealed that Nintendo benefitted the most from the sales by securing 37 per cent of all units sold. This was helped by Sega's DS and Wii title Mario & Sonic at the Olympics, which sold the most units over the period.
"This period has seen more innovative and family-friendly titles doing well and it is clear that consumers of all ages have been lining up to buy them," Jackson added.
Chart-Track's findings come after those of North America's NPD group, which show that Nintendo sold the most Wii consoles ever this March, outside of the holiday months of November and December, selling 720,000 units.

What's with that? It's a wonder they haven't done a "Wii Play Too".

There really is no way to estimate an actual breakdown between the retail and PSN version, but I would guess the PSN version didn't play a big role in GT5Ps sales, since its the exact same price as the boxed retail product and online purchases with credit card-only don't reach that many europeans.Pai Pai Master said:Very good for GT5 Prologue considering the PSN release. Would it be crazy to assume retail sales account for roughly 60-70% of total sales? I guess there's no way to tell until Sony releases some numbers.
Raist said:Why would they bother ? People buy it because it's a cheap game that comes with an additionnal controller. They don't need a sequel.
h3ro said:Wow, GT5 keeping up there... I thought everyone who wanted it would have gotten it at launch...
Shit, if people have any common sense. Which many don't. So, probably quite good.cgcg said:I wonder what sale's like for GT: P on the PSN store.
i think the japanese game sold quite well through PSN , like 1/3....i may be wrongpswii60 said:Shit, if people have any common sense. Which many don't. So, probably quite good.

Well we do have some context. It's strange though. The 37% figure may only apply to full price software? Because otherwise Nintendo should be over 37%.skinnyrattler said:Any data is useless in the wrong context.

No real numbers to analyze how everyone is doing in relation to each other, except everyone else is below 37%. It all needs context.

Yep, i think so Atleast in some places in Europe i think.Frillen said:Isn't Wii-Fit out this Friday in Europe?
SEGA continues its obscene domination.
Europe is SEGAland.
Indeed. 9 out of the top 40 I believe?
3 Nintendo and 3 Sega titles in the Top 10. Feels like the good ol' times.
WTF at SEGA on Wii
It's SEGA's party
They just choose to host a lot of it at Nintendo's venues
marc^o^ said:A friend saw a riot at a store this week-end, 2 couples fighting for the last Mario Kart copy. Crazy.
But this is even crazier: someone bought a copy at 101 (=$160) today on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.fr/Mario-Kart-Wii-v...yZ148484QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Knowing most of the Mario Kart with the wheel are selling at over $100 on ebay.
Nintendo has been successful so far, but I'm starting to believe it was only the beginning.

nli10 said:Seeing as the game has been restocked in game stores with every Nintendo Shipment in the UK I think that people love to overreact... Unless the casuals are scared of games stores and Woolworths has run out?...
I'm still in shock that the game appears to have achieved Platinum status in 2 chart weeks (9 days) where as no Game Cube games ever reached that level (SMS and MK: DD got Gold). That's a bit of a turnaround.
For perspective, if it reduces by a doubly large amount next week it will have sold around 400k and be beating motorstorm and possibly even resistance. (presuming 180k,140k,80k) We'll only know when it reaches double platinum though...
Still, nice to celebrate this before GTA X360 destroys it! (Still not sure that Wii Fit stock can possibly beat Mario Kart).
