The split was pretty close with 55% going to Xbox 360 and 45% to PS3 (the PC version will be hitting shops in a few weeks). Nintendo’s ‘Wii Sports Resort’ therefore moves back down to No2 and Codemasters’ ‘Ashes Cricket 2009’ stays at No3. Activision-Blizzard’s ‘Wolfenstein’ moves down two places to No4 followed by Nintendo’s ‘Wii Fit’ at No5. It’s Activision Blizzard and Nintendo again at No6 and No7 respectively with ‘Call of Duty: World at War’ and ‘Mario Kart Wii’. EA’s ‘Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10’ holds par at No8 and we have another Batman game in the Top 10 with Warner Bros. Interactive’s ‘Lego Batman: The Videogame’ at No9. Activision Blizzard have a second Call of Duty game finishing off the Top 10 with ‘Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare’ and Bethesda Softworks new expansion pack ‘Fallout 3: Game Add-On Pack #2’ comes in at No20.

Thought Batman may have edged in on the PS3 but twas close anyways.

 

[Bernbaum]

Go Batman!

Awesome news for the entire gaming industry.

 

[batbeg]

He had prep time, it isn't fair.

Spoiler

Kick their asses Bats!

 

[Reno7728]

Wii owners had a hankering for some batman

 

[McBradders]

Great news for Batmans! Hope it has legs.

 

[Dennis]

Nice to see a licensed game that is actually good do so well.

 

[Kenka]

Ashes Cricket cannibalizing Tiger Woods sales.

 

[Reno7728]

Ashes Cricket cannibalizing Tiger Woods sales.

Not surprising, as 1. cricket is far more popular than golf in the UK, and 2. English Cricket just won their biggest series of the year.

 

[Dabanton]

Very well deserved for Batman.

 

[operon]

Well deserved sales for batman, where the class visual effects in the gif like pow etc.

 

[Bernbaum]

Where the spelling and grammar in the post like period etc.

 

[nli10]

Layton does well ahead of new title. Market shrinks and Wii & DS perennials rise.

Both walking DS games have not done amazingly despite advertising proving that the casual market is way more price sensitive than the regular market. Goes some way to explaining why Sony & Microsoft's full price casual games flop all the time at launch, but sell OK once at budget prices.

 

[mckmas8808]

Glad to see Batman doing well.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

360 sales up 43% and 2 of the most bundled titles (FNR4 and Tiger Woods) both go up...

...surprise!

 

[jrricky]

Yesterday was a bank holiday, but the sales chart only covers up until Saturday the week before, I think.

 

[SovanJedi]

I keep hearing a lot of praise for this Batman game, so word of mouth definitely helped. I want to try it out actually.

Wii Sports Resort still chugging along at a fair old pace too.

When did or does the PS3 price drop happen in Europe?

 

[D4Danger]

When did or does the PS3 price drop happen in Europe?

It happened last week

 

[slaughterking]

When did or does the PS3 price drop happen in Europe?

The price drop happened the day after the Sony PK at GamesCom. And today launched the Slim.

 

[tass0]

So Xbox 360 and PS3 are both $299 in USA, but in UK 360 is £199.99 and PS3 is £249.99?

How does that happen?

It has been said many times before, the console war battleground this generation is Europe.

£250 is the cheapest PS3 as well.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Awesome news. Batman deserves all our money.

The entry prices were GBP 129 and 179. They are now GBP 159 and 199. That is a price increase not price drop. Seems odd to have an increase.

School holidays. My little lad loves it. I was watching him play it and it looked pretty fun (for a 4 year old)

My daughter loves the programme on Nick Jr, but is thankfully only 2 so far too young for anything other than a plush toy.

Wow Dissidia did real well. I wonder if square should think about porting some of their DS games to PsP in western markets?

Wow Dissidia did real well. I wonder if square should think about porting some of their DS games to PsP in western markets?

THey have been advertising the crap out of it this week along with Soul Caliber.

 

[GothPunk]

Wow Dissidia did real well. I wonder if square should think about porting some of their DS games to PsP in western markets?

I'm really suprised at Dissidia's numbers actually, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite had a much bigger marketing campaign in the UK and entered the chart at 27. Such is the power of the Final Fantasy franchise I guess. I'm glad to see a PSP title in the top ten that's for sure.

 

[Roxas]

when was the last time a PSP game made the top 10 let alone top 5.

 

[DMeisterJ]

...maybe.

 

[Kinan]

Both GTAs?

 

[GothPunk]

Never?

This is probably the right answer. Is Dissidia a sign of things to come or is a PSP game in the top ten a fluke? There a some top tier games coming out over the next few months.

This is probably the right answer. Is Dissidia a sign of things to come or is a PSP game in the top ten a fluke? There a some top tier games coming out over the next few months.

Look for Soul Calibur next week - they have been advertising it all week on TV - tho i thought it was a GoW game for a while with the amount Kratos features in the ads.

 

[DMeisterJ]

Both GTAs?

Chart Track doesn't have data back in 2006, so we'll never know.
