It's weird. Went to buy it before Christmas and it was sold out everywhere. I assumed it had sold very well. Not in the UK now, but I'm assuming supply is good now.

Edit: Ah, beaten

Beaten but well explained. The distributors were dry, but copies started to come back into the channel this weekend. I expect it to do well over the next few weeks, mainly due to the low volume of sales this time of year and the built up demand.

 

[Jonsoncao]

I believe Kinect Adventures charted once on the UK board, but never since, weird

never charted.

K.A is bundled with hardware only none retail copy.. so chart track won't ever chart it

Strange Heavy Rain is there but no GOW 3.. :O
btw any idea how much the sales of the 50th title is going to be around 300k??

 

[Psychotext]

Strange Heavy Rain is there but no GOW 3.. :O

Heavy Rain did really well in the UK, was in the charts for ages. GoW3... not so much.

 

[nli10]

Hadn't seen outside of the top 10.

No Brain Training, no MKS, No Pokemon, 27 for NSMB...

Think it's time for the 3DS for sure!

No 1st Party Nintendo games released in 2010 made the top 20 - all the ones up there are either 3rd party or 2009 releases.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Hadn't seen outside of the top 10.

no MKS, .

Surprised about that, it's still 4th in the DS chart this week. Edit OK I'm not so surprised, that list shows you the power of multi-format games.

I hadn't realised Super Mario 64 DS is still selling, that's at number 9. Not bad for a launch title!

 

[noobie]

so anyone can put numbers to some of the titles in these top 50?

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

I love when Nintendo refers to the others by competitor 1 and 2 lol

To those that don't speak spanish, the source translated is:
- Source: GfK weekly report. Sales figures: Nintendo Iberica, extrapolating Gfk data by 0,68.

So I kinda expect to see other 'competidores' throwing a different spin on them

EDIT: I think you should do a new thread for this dabra, its a great amount of data with numbers for a sizable region in a whole year. It kinda gets hidden here.

 

[Chris1964]

Extrapolation from weekly reports doesn't give a clear picture.

 

[tzare]

Let's see:

LTDs

NDS - 67.9% = 5.300.000
PSP - 32.1% = 2.505.596

Wii - 49.2% = 2.700.000
PS3 - 33.4% = 1.832.926
X360 - 17.4% = 954.877



Also wow at a PSP game at nº2 (on the handheld chart). Not surprisingly is the only psp game well advertised.

it was made by a spanish developer so i guess that helped a bit too.
Those software numbers are totals for the year i guess. So GT5 is around 250k, not bad at all.

 

[Oxx]

Interesting to see all three Layton games doing decent business in Spain.

 

[Pooya]

So kinect 66k in Spain? or is that just standalone units?

 

[Road]

Extrapolation from weekly reports doesn't give a clear picture.

Maybe not for software and only if they get a limited top 100 for instance -- if they have weekly sales for every title, then it's fine.

But, we can't know for sure. =\

Very nice GT5 sales in Spain it was at 92,000 last time seen it.

Even more german sales for 2010 - DQ9 sold +100K

Holy shit the only non nintendo game which sold more then 100k on the Wii is Just Dance. Every single 3rd party game except Just Dance sold less then 100k.

Are these really YTD? Because if the first Layton game really sold over 200k units in just 2010...wow. :I

It looks like it - Layton is a beast in europe.

 

[slaughterking]

That's an understatement. If Layton 1 can sell over 200k copies in its third year, it has to be close to or over half a million units in Germany alone. That's half of what it did in Japan. That's crazy.

I'm glad Art Academy is selling so well. It's a great piece of software.

Layton looks like a Eurogame and plays like a Eurogame. Wouldn't be shocked if the first one hit a million in the UK at some point. We don't get the awards as regular public info now though do we? Ironic as ChartTrack-DSK are the source for the German numbers.

Layton is terrible. One of the few cases where the commercial success annoys me. Nice to see Mario & Luigi >100k in its second year, well deserved.

Why exactly? Those are some of the best games I always get to play around Christmas.

Layton legs a leapin'.

Surely Nintendo/Level 5 can't skip the fourth game in their cash-cow series in favour of bringing through the 3DS game in launch year?

Yeah, I think Layton 5 wasn't even mentioned during any event last week. I think it's save to say that Nintendo/Level 5 don't intent to get the fifth game out ASAP in western markets.

I only played Layton 1. It had no original puzzles, only classic puzzles I solved when I was a kid. So the game's mechanic "touch everything on screen to discover puzzles you already know solutions of" was boooooring. And the main two characters are extremely annoying.

Pleasantly surprised by this news. I honestly thought it was going to bomb, it doesn't have anything like the level of hype or excitement that the first game generated, and it's launched in the middle of a pretty busy PS3 release schedule. Certainly a few people I know are holding off for now with the expectation that it will be £10 in a few weeks.

Well SCEE actually decided to advertise it this time, so that might have helped.

Not to obstruct the celebration, but it may be worthwhile to consider that the original game was released on 5 November, whereas the previous individual-format number one title essentially had its sales quartered in the previous two weeks.
