Looks like Eidos choose the wrong format to put exclusive DLC on!

Interesting how Tomb Raider and NFS did better on the PS3 despite the install base difference.
Ha... I just noticed PGR4 is sneaking around the top 40.

Ouch at the L4D opening. Even with the PC version combined, it's 5 spots behind Tomb Raider on the All Formats chart.
Here's hoping Steam sales picked up the slack, I really thought the 360 version would do as well as Orange Box.

PGR4 is being bundled with Arcade units (along with Sega Superstar Tennis), probably explains the chart position (same goes for Lego Indy and Kung-Fu Panda/Premium bundle)

Also no Rock Band 2... I heard there was weird stock problems though.
Also Mirror's Edge complete bomba, dropped completely away after last weeks mind chart debut.

Strange one that, maybe due to all the other games 360 owners have been buying and or it may have benefitted from having an Uncharted aesthetic, or maybe the demo just put people off (it did me, too twtichy)?!

Yeah, Mirror's Edge disappeared quickly. I noticed on the weekend GAME stores are bundling it free with the X360. Shopto also have it for ÂŁ28 on both platforms.
No appearance for Banjo either, Quarter 4 can be a cruel mistress
/Waits for Banjo to hit half price...

MK vs DC, Lips and Last Remnant bombas.
Quite like the Lips ad actually. Which I've seen a lot of.

Katana_Strikes said:
Just out of interest can anyone remember how the Original Singstar launched on PS2? Pretty sure it wasn't this close to the end of the year, but I'm sure that didn't fly until a few weeks later.
I still want it, but it's not an urgent purchase.

Increased position in a i.e Top 40 list does not always mean increased sales though. I think Wii Music increased 1 spot in the Famitsu top 30 about 2 weeks ago or so, but the Wii Music sales were down 2k or 3k compared to the previous week. I think there is a chance that Wii Music could have increased in sales for it's 2nd week in the UK though, since Wii Music jumped relatively many places up and not just 1 spot up like it did in the Famitsu Top 30 chart if i remember correctly, but i'm just sayingWeisheit said:
Hopefully Chart Track will release some percentage talk about the Wii Music sales, then we will know for sure JonathanEx

It's odd, if you look at the platform charts, bundled games (like KF Panda and Lego Indy) aren't included.
Mirror's Edge is 11th on the 360 charts, Rockband 2 is #17, MK vs DC is #18, Lips is #19, Banjo is #21, The Last Remnant is #25, Naruto: BB is #28.

I bought that on launch day, and I have a vague image in my head of having to go to 3 or 4 stores to find a copy. I don't know if that was due to bad stock, or was due to it selling well.

Those are on the budget charts for their respected format.

Sho_Nuff82 said:
They are included in the Budget Chart, (at #1 and #2) there is no combined chart for full price/budget unfortunately.
Katana_Strikes said:
Thank you! So a much quieter market (even after Easter) but still a good position for an unknown brand. Hopefully Lips takes off forcing Sony & Microsoft into an escalating Scoreoke brand war and giving us decent additional features and cheaper songs.
Downloaded the Free 'Take on me' in anticipation.
Anyone know if we can use the PS2 Singstar disks in the PS3 yet (regardless of Backwards Compat)?
Sho_Nuff82 said:
Not full price games
Keyser Soze said:
I preordered online to avoid the awkward looks from the people I knew in the games shop. Turns out everyone loves singstar now anyway!

I've never played Singstar, and literally opened the game at the party. We had a whale of a time with it and it was definitly more in demand than Rockband was mainly because the song list is more girl friendly.
I did notice it was easy and gave very high scores, but peope when pissed think they are doing "AWESOME" anyway (as it often tells you!)
The song list seemed to have something for everyone.

There we have the answer, Wii Music increased in sales in it's 2nd week
I think it is a good thing that Chart Track posted this info Katana_Strikes

Ouch, Eidos needs to put some exclusive advertising, a demo and maybe DLC for the 360 version... oh wait! :lol
test_account said:There we have the answer, Wii Music increased in sales in it's 2nd week
I wonder if the CT boys realise they are adding petrol to the messageboards each week with their added details to the blurb? :lol
(oh and when I wrote my 5 reasons why WiiMusic will sell more in it's 2nd week in the previous thread I was picturing a 25% or so increase so am surprised too, maybe the first week sales were more dissapointing than previously thought?)
And in case I get shot at by Sony fans I am enjoying playing LBP with my Orange, Geeky SackBoy and yet to buy WiiMusic.

They just expected the game to sell better on the 360 (I think everyone did), like most 3rd party games.Doc Evils said:

Even with all of the exclusivity posturing, the game overall sold just as poorly as TR Anniversary.

What i ment with that it is good that Chart Track posted that info about the Wii Music sales is because now there is no doubt that there was an increase in the Wii Music sales in it's 2nd week Ye, unfortuntaly it is hard to say on how much Wii Music sold in it's first week in the UK :\ I think it is a pity that Chart Track doesnt release hard sales numbers (or atleast they dont do it very often atleast), atleast for the 1st week sales, since then we would know how alittle better on how good or bad a game is doing instead of just getting percentage numbers. But i am happy that we get percentage numbers instead of not getting any info at all
I wonder how Wii Music will do in the rest of the world in the upcomming weeks and months. I'm especially looking forward to 2nd month for Wii Music in the NPD chart for USA, especially after seeing the increase in Wii Music's 2nd week in the UK. I wonder if something simular can happend in the US, and in the rest of the world

Anyone who wrote off Wii Music after its first week of sales was just asking for trouble. Nintendo aren't going to let it drop down and die without a fight, that is one game that will have legs over the Xmas period (helped no doubt by an increase in marketing... and that god awful family playing midi tracks in their living room...)

It's being packed in to WiiFit bundles in some stores, but due to positive reviews and ÂŁ25 price tag on Amazon I've asked relatives for it for Xmas.

The 1st week is the money shot for all non casual games. Giving that away free would be comercial suicide for GDK/CT.
As you say percentages are an elegant compromise (and actually better for comparing months with very different sales paterns!)

What does "money shot" means? The most important week of sales? And if they gave this info away for free, then many people wouldnt buy GDK/CT's sales numbers (they are selling them, right?)?

My first language isnt english, i am sorry :\Ye, that is true, getting percentage numbers can be a better way to comparing months with different sales patterns
