As a result Sega’s ‘Aliens vs Predator’ slips down to No2 dropping by 38% in sales, followed by Ubisoft’s ‘Just Dance’ (-12%) at No3. Nintendo’s ‘Wii Fit Plus’ (+9%) leaps up the chart from No9 to No4, overtaking Activision’s ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’ (-17%) at No5. Nintendo claim both No6 with ‘Wii Sports Resort’ (-14%) and No7 with ‘New Super Mario Bros. Wii’ (-34%). Sega’s new entry ‘Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing’ gets off to a good start at No8, ahead of Take 2’s ‘Bioshock 2’ (-56%) which has a big drop this week from No3 to No9 and EA’s ‘FIFA 10’ (-43%) which has also moved down the table from No5 to No10. Outside the Top 10 Sega’s new release in the Total War series ‘Napoleon: Total War’ debuts at No12 and Sony’s RPG ‘White Knight Chronicles’ completes the list of new entries at No35.

Wow at Heavy Rain. Thats great! I hope that all the doomsayers are wrong and it sells like hotcakes. It would be very encouraging to see an innovative game like Heavy Rain do well.

Haha, I love seeing Napoleon: Total War in the top ten. Suck it haters.

Motherfucker.

Heavy Rain at number one is a massive surprise. I guess Jack Tretton was not lying about Heavy Rain pre-sales. It also explains why EURO got prefferential treatment for Heavy Rain. Looks like EURO will be Heavy Rains strongest territory.

Wow, what a big (and pleasant!) surprise to see Heavy Rain on that spot. Don't think many people saw that one coming.

yes us british are very awesome. thank you.

Sales of Arkham Asylum PS3 and the moving up of Uncharted 2 suggest it might have moved some PS3 units too.

Fuck yeah heavy rain. Fuck yeah.

Is it me or does every game that Pachter predicts to bomb end up doing the opposite. :lol
First Borderlands and now this. Don't blame him for those predictions, I was expecting mega-bomba as well. :lol :lol I guess I should give more credit to the general buying public.

Good to see Heavy Rain reaching nr. 1. I wonder how it did in comparison to Indigo prophesy/ Fahrenheit?

More importantly I hope this rekindle some intrest to develope some more adventure games. There is a market for these kind of games, take note devs!

Since when was UK MSland?? LOL

anyhow anyone who cares will know that the 360 has had an unofficial pricecut inthe UK with Arcades back down around 99£ and some places selling Elites for £159.99

It is MS strongest territory in EU and one of the few places where the 360 install base is still higher than the PS3 install base.

Well that's random.

...anyway. Great start for Heavy Rain, and I hope that it's got strong numbers to match that chart position. Looking forward to seeing it turn up in the sales awards.

Well it should definitely get the 100K award for March, maybe even February.
 
I actually had a strong feeling about that No.1 spot of Heavy Rain. It's sales over the weekend and the interest in the week leading to it's release seemed to suggest all good things. Word of mouth and a continuing marketing push should ensure healthy sales going forward.

Not bad for WKC, I guess, don't think Sony has pushed this at all here, which is a shame.

I think 100k in the first week might be a little optimistic (especially given lots of people have been mentioning low stock), but yeah, in March for sure.

Yes. 100K is on the optimistic end. I actually think it did about 70K.

I never doubted her.

Nice work Sony and QD.

I haven't brought it yet, but that's because Sony decided to make a console that would die on my ass like a week before the best month of video gaming this decade.

EDIT: Ummm it's 2010, whatever.
 
Oh and I'd also like to say a big FUCK YOU to my bosses for writing off Heavy Rain (cause they don't understand what the game is) and not getting in even a decent amount of copies of the game and losing tons of sales.

Now it feels even greater to see the game sitting there at No.1. :D

First AvP (which has better legs than ME2 and BS2), now Heavy Rain. This HD gaming thing is suddenly full of surprises.

I will be the first to humbly offer myself a plate of crow, as I thouight both games were going to bomb being sandwiched between Bioshock and FF13.

Poor Take2. Poor EA. The market is no longer their plaything, but a very dangerous, competitive place.

Holy Crap. Dante's Inferno both formats is gone off the charts already? Goddam.

And MAG is still around?

Anyway, OMG awesome at U2 and Forza legs. Beautiful thing.

I am overjoyed to see Heavy Rain at #1. I finished it this weekend and I was utterly blown away. Fingers crossed for another QD interactive drama.

Has a single PSP game charted this year?

I'm not surprised to see Heavy Rain at no.1, Fahrenheit also got to no.1 when it was released and there had been quite a buzz around heavy rain for the last couple of weeks.

The teasers and final ads for Heavy Rain were pretty good and tense. Plus everyone posting their origami's everywhere and people that don't know asking where it's from helps with the word out mouth.
