It should be mentioned that it did this with just two days of sales. Man i hope this game does well. Its so awesome

Not to Denegrate the game's success, but what game doesn't open to two days of sales in it's opening week?



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Every game in the UK bar the very very rare occurence launches on friday, you're right. Halo 3 launched tuesday and FFXIII launched tuesday as well.



 

Not to take away from a very respectable position, but 99% of games launch on Friday here.



The game sold well in the UK.
It has been a while for a Wii game to do that.
So this is something good.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

This has been advertised more than any Wii game I can remember in the UK - yesterday nearly every ad break I saw featured it (often followed by one for Wii Fit+). Actually a bit surprised it didn't debut higher, given that.

Glad to see it has a solid debut in UK, Capcom is the only big third party company that deserves to have success on Wii.



Decent start, hope it continues.



I have seen a couple of TV ads for it too... but the more suprising thing is it has dominated the Nintendo Channel, there are about 20 videos of it on there, probably almost an hours worth in total.



Special Edition May have boosted the sales as well.

Well that will give the title legs, ads started just by a couple of days so probably we'll see their effect next week...
