Whats the appeal to these Mario Kart games seriously?

The gap between the Modern Warfare 3 sales is tiny.

Wow @ Uncharted 3

Maybe because its fun???

I personally dont see the appeal to these Uncharted games, just generic 3rd person shooters theyre all the same. Mario Karts unique.

It may be fun but not fun enough for it to sell that many copies. The games dont differ much from each game, the Wii version is better than the 3DS one, and its not that unique, theres been Crash Bandicoot games similar to it, there was even a Sega game last year that was just like it, infact better even.

Last i checked Crash Team Racing and Sega Racing were a RIPOFF of Mario Kart which was unique. Uncharted is a ripoff of Tomb Raider/Indiana Jones/Gears of War. Like i said it does what it does well but all Uncharted is is a combination of popular aspects combined into one pretty package.

Say what? Uncharted is far from being generic, there arnt even that many third person shooters around anymore. 

Thats because FPS games are better shooters than Third Person thats why, but Uncharted is definitley generic, not that its a bad game what it does it does well, but all it basically is, is a copy of Gears of Wars shooting mechanics and the climbing of Assassins Creed wrapped up in pretty graphics and with likable characters.

But as its own thing, its nothing new at all, it just did what it did well. Still i dont see the appeal to it at all, from what ive seen its just a very straight forward game where you run and shoot, climb, cutscene.

"Oh look we have to go through that door, but of course you can never simply go through a door in any of these games so go climb around the long way to lower a rope for us to get through". Is all that these games are.

"From what I've seen"

In other words, you've never even played it. Don't get too attached to that new account you have there.

But now that theres those other games aswell, that no longer makes in unique. The fact this new Mario Kart is no different at all from the one on DS also shows its not unique. Uncharted didnt ripoff anything, its a homage to adventure films. Tomb Raider itself was a blatant ripoff of Indiana Jones.

Theres other games like Mario Kart, theres nothing out there like Uncharted. Gears of War is nothing in the slightest like Uncharted.

That thread doesnt have the global numbers for the week though, just the Europe numbers.

Havn't given the OP time to update (which is why it should be left to me) but in future don't remake a ton of slaes data threads. Best they're kept in one with someone who is going to update frequently.

There are no FPS games on PS3 that are better than the Uncharted series. It having similar shooting mechanics to Gears of War does not make it a ripoff, Uncharted game out before Assassins Creed so it most certainly didnt rip that off either.

Most shooting games are simply just shooting and crap cutscenes. Uncharted has shooting, good cutscenes, climbing aswell as likable characters and a decent story something very few FPS games have.

There was always a separate America/EMEAA and WW thread before. That one had only Europe SW, i dont know how long he's gonna take to come back and edit it, whose to say he'd even come back today.

So your saying someone can come out wih a unique game then someone can rip it off then it suddenly no longer becomes unique? Mario Kart is plenty different from the DS game, new characters, tracks, gliding, undersea races, customizable karts etc. Its a racing game not Grand Theft Auto theres not a ton they can add, your still gonna be racing in a Kart around a track.

I didnt say Gears of War was like Uncharted i said it ripped off its shooting mechanics which it did.

The Call of Duty Modern Warfare trilogy is miles better than the Uncharted trilogy for one.
