You have brought shame to your bloodline.I feel like I'm the only person in the UK who opted for the PS3 version of Steins;Gate right now.

You have brought shame to your bloodline.
I just wanted to play a visual novel on the big screen for a change.
Tbh I'm more talking about the "made up estimates" for France 2nd week and other data to somehow prove that Splatoon has sold more than 500k.
There is no doubt that Splatoon will sell more than 500k easily, but we can't just say it has already.
Unless it's bombed in America it almost certainly has sold over 500k already, it's pretty illogical to think otherwise
I just wanted to play a visual novel on the big screen for a change.
This still doesn't explain why you didn't buy the Vita version
Buy a PSTV then.
But I already have a Vita and a PS3. Why would I buy a PSTV?

It might happen one day if Zavvi ever decide to pull their thumb out of their butt and dispatch it.
Because it's cheaper than a banana and you can play your Vita-only games on a TV.
Apparently they re-used the "translated CG" from the pc version (576p) in the console release so you can tell us how they look upscaled to 1080p in the S;G OT when you get your copy.I don't particularly want to play Vita-only games on my TV though. Steins;Gate had a PS3 version so I thought why not, let's play this type of game on a home console for a change and see it at 1080p. That's cheaper than buying a PSTV just so I can play the Vita version on the big screen. Not to mention it would look worse given the resolution.
Fantastic result for Splatoon, far better than I'd hoped.
Like I've said before, this is what happens when Nintendo actually try and be competitive. Release their own unique spin on the kind of games people want, advertise it like crazy, and not surprisingly, it'll sell!
Also, brilliant to see Steins Gate chart! And in the top 20!
So, how much do you think a decent decrease from 1st week to 2nd week normally is?
Yup, that's why those "Nintendo can't compete", "They'll never get core gamers back" and "Their only chance to stay relevant is doing something different" shouts are apologist/defeatist bullshit. Once they're determinated to get back on track and grab the market, they'll have no problem, as, despite the controversy surrounding their lastest systems, they still hold major appeal on the eyes of the gaming world.
I didn't comment on whether the decrease was decent or not, just that Week 2 is too early to bring up 'legs' of a title. The basis of the original comment was that it has developed nice legs so far, but if nice legs is a 50% drop week over week, the game will sputter out before it reaches 50k.

Surely it's illogical to think that it must have sold 500k without there being evidence to support that more than 500k has been sold.
Again, I'm not saying that it hasn't.
Just that we can only use the numbers we have, not made up ones.

Because I've been a participant of sales-age for like 15 years now. I know that when a game has a smaller than average second week drop it will have decent legs compared to its opening. I'm not stating that the game will become a phenom or anything....It's week two and experienced a 50% drop, if the 'legs' keep going like that, it'll cross the finish line south of 50k. I don't think that fits the criteria of 'nice legs'
What!? This is pretty much the status quo.
Splatoon, a Nintendo title selling well on a Nintendo platform is the prime symptom to the problem Nintendo has had for decades, Nintendo needs non-Nintendo games to do as well as Nintendo does on the system before we can start talking about grabbing markets.
There are 2 WiiU titles in the whole UK top 40. That's pretty normal.
WiiU is almost same price as a Ps4 / Xb1 in UK. Most stores don't sell or stock it. I have never actually seen one in a shop.
I want what you are smoking.
Because it's cheaper than a banana and you can play your Vita-only games on a TV.
Can you softmod the PSP-side of the PSTV to make it run PSP/PSX games off the memory stick via homebrew and run emulators?
Wow one XB1 title in the top 50.
At least there's one this week. Makes me wonder if Wii U doesn't outsell XB1 in Germany.Wow one XB1 title in the top 50.
Yes, they need 3rd-parties as well, but going after new audiences and genres themselves helps too, like they're doing with Splatoon right now. They got a TPS, something they didn't, and should keep expanding their audience as much as they can and not remain restricted to a selected IP's and genres (most specifically Mario) like they were these last years.

Havent we heard that is in fact happening before?

XBox: One.
heard the same thing about France, didn't pan out
and at the very least that's not the case with launch-aligned sales, lack of Wii U updates since last August makes this impossible to answer right now though
Project CARS sales in France in may > Project CARS sales in USA in may.
Edit: around -44% for Splatoon 2nd week in France.
XBox: One.
That's a good drop for second week. So France is now at around 37k, quite similar to UK.
SCROLLS STROLLS TO THE TOP
15/Jun/2015
Bethesda Softworks take top spot as ‘The Elder Scrolls Online’ becomes their first chart topping title since ‘Wolfenstein: The New Order’ just over a year ago.
Although the original PC version of the title launched in April last year, the new updated versions feature a subscription free model as well as several new updates. Having launched on Tuesday ‘The Elder Scrolls Online’ is the third title to break through the 100k sales mark in its first week in 2015, delivering a bigger week 1 then ‘Battlefield Hardline’ but still behind ‘The Witcher III: Wild Hunt’, which remains the biggest debut of the year so far.
Following on from the success of the movie which also released this week Warner Bros’ ‘Lego Jurassic World’ roars into the chart at No2. With ‘The Elder Scrolls Online’ taking No1 the consecutive five week run of Bandai Namco is ended as ‘The Witcher III: Wild Hunt’ (-48%) drops down to No3. Another title making the jump to Gen 8 consoles debuts at No4 with 505 Games’ ‘Payday 2: Crimewave Edition’ for Xbox One and PS4. The original ‘Payday 2’ topped the charts back in August 2013 and the Crimewave Edition adds improved visuals and new content to the title. ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ (-34%) is not far behind but makes way for the new titles dropping down to No5. ‘FIFA 15’ (-23%) is at No6 and remains comfortably ahead of a resurgent ‘Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’ (+11%), which climbs to No7. Wii U exclusive ‘Splatoon’ (4,948 / -44%) is down to No8 in its third week on chart although is sure to see a boost with an official hardware bundle due to launch on the platform next week. ‘Battlefield Hardline’ ( -39%) is down four places to No9 and ‘Farming Simulator 15’ (-26%) rounds off the Top 10.
