MAKE MINE MINECRAFT

29/Jul/2013

It’s a surge in sales of Microsoft’s ‘Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition’ (climbing from No2 to No1 / +74%) that keeps Nintendo from claiming a first Wii U No1 on the All Formats Chart.

Since launch in week 48, 2012 we’ve had 43 Wii U titles (5 from Nintendo). This week Nintendo add 2 more first party titles, the first being ‘Pikmin 3’, which debuts at No2 (Pikmin 2 debuted way back in week 41, 2004 on Gamecube at No32 on the All Formats Chart, subsequently released on Wii in week 17, 2009). The other Nintendo release this week is also for Wii U, ‘New Super Luigi U’ at No 13 on the All Formats Top 40.

Sony’s PS3 ‘The Last of Us’ (-16%) has to content itself with 6 straight weeks at the Top, dropping down to No3 this week. Aside from the Nintendo Wii U releases there’s little else to report, with last week’s big new release ‘Dynasty Warriors 8’ (-48%) from Tecmo Koei dropping from No5 to No18 and Ubisoft’s ‘The Smurfs 2’ (+213%) making an appearance at No25, having been released the previous week.

I think we were all expecting The Last of Us to be dethroned this week; but I did not see this one coming!

Great, Pikmin3 is second place, but I wonder how good are the numbers for the game

Anywhere between 11,500 and 13,500

Edit~ Scratch that I was looking at the 13th

damn, NSLU must be printing money. hope Pikmin sales are good enough for a4th game. =( DW legs

Congrats to TLOU for 6 weeks at #1! I was expecting Pikmin 3 to be the new #1 though.

About 16k for Minecraft this week.
About 9k for The Last of Us.

Pikmin 3 in between.
~4k for NSLU

Most surprising by Minecraft, keeping the Wii U off the top.

I believe that makes Pikmin between 9k and 15k, correct? I will go for 12k. That's not bad for a title like this. But as always, it's the second week and beyond which count. I expect Wii U sales to double with these releases, but where is NintendoLand?

Has Minecraft had a price drop at retail? Congrats to it anyway!
