Forums - Sales Discussion - PAL charts week 41 (2008), FIFA 09 second week, Lego batman first week

 

 

United Kingdom

‘FIFA 09’ secures a second week at No1 in the All Formats Chart with sales down 47%, but remaining in a league of its own at the top despite the appearance at No2 of ‘Lego Batman: The Videogame’ from Warner Bros.

‘Lego Batman’ is Warner’s biggest ever videogame launch, released across all 7 major formats with 22% of sales on Xbox 360, 22% on budget PS2, 20% on Wii, 17% on PS3, 12% on DS, 6% on PSP and 1% on PC. There are now 7 different publishers represented in the All Formats Top 10 with 4 titles selling best on Xbox 360, the remaining six top sellers on Wii. ‘Wii Fit’ steps up one place to No3, bouncing back after last week’s dip in stock, while ‘Star Wars: The Force Unleashed’ slips two places to No4. Ubisoft also drop two places as ‘Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway’ falls to No5, also unable to compete with newcomer ‘Lego Batman’ and Wii Fit’s 47% sales increase, despite the debut this week of a PC version at the top of the PC Full Price chart.

The strong Top 10 Wii contingent is bolstered by Namco-Bandai/Atari’s ‘Family Trainer’ which breaks into the Top 10 at No9, while Top 10 regulars ‘Mario Kart Wii’ and ‘Wii Play’ remain strong at No’s 6 and 7 respectively. The All Formats Top 10 is rounded off with ‘Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09’ down 2 places to No8 and ‘Big Beach Sports’ down from No8 to No10.

Good week for the 360 in UK, i think. Because GTA 4 360 beat GTA 4 PS3, and most remarkable, lego batman on 360 beat lego batman on Wii. Finally, fifa 09 on 360 continue to beat fifa 09 on ps3.



FIFA 09 Still Top of the League

‘FIFA 09’ secures a second week at No1 in the All Formats Chart with sales down 47%, but remaining in a league of its own at the top despite the appearance at No2 of ‘Lego Batman: The Videogame’ from Warner Bros.


‘Lego Batman’ is Warner’s biggest ever videogame launch, released across all 7 major formats with 22% of sales on Xbox 360, 22% on budget PS2, 20% on Wii, 17% on PS3, 12% on DS, 6% on PSP and 1% on PC. There are now 7 different publishers represented in the All Formats Top 10 with 4 titles selling best on Xbox 360, the remaining six top sellers on Wii. ‘Wii Fit’ steps up one place to No3, bouncing back after last week’s dip in stock, while ‘Star Wars: The Force Unleashed’ slips two places to No4. Ubisoft also drop two places as ‘Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway’ falls to No5, also unable to compete with newcomer ‘Lego Batman’ and Wii Fit’s 47% sales increase, despite the debut this week of a PC version at the top of the PC Full Price chart. The strong Top 10 Wii contingent is bolstered by Namco-Bandai/Atari’s ‘Family Trainer’ which breaks into the Top 10 at No9, while Top 10 regulars ‘Mario Kart Wii’ and ‘Wii Play’ remain strong at No’s 6 and 7 respectively. The All Formats Top 10 is rounded off with ‘Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09’ down 2 places to No8 and ‘Big Beach Sports’ down from No8 to No10.



FIFA 09 (UK All Formats):

Week 1: 479k (360: 201k, PS3: 192k, PS2: 53k, PSP: 14k, OTH: 19k)
Week 2: 254k

LTD (All): 733k



Around the Network

I think we can assume that X360/PS3 versions of Fifa dropped around 50% and sold around 100k each this week (bringing the totals to around 300k each). Even if PSP/Wii version dropped less (and they probably did) that doesn't matter much as they represented at most 6% of last week' sales.

Expect both X360 and PS3 version of Fifa 09 to achive Platinium awards in October ELSPA update. PS2 version will probably get the Silver award.

I don't think diffrence of just 2% between two versions is good news for 360. Remember 360 enjoy close to 1 million lead over PS3.

All the weeks before, GTA 4 PS3 beat GTA 4 360.

Because of the percentage about fifa 09 the last week, we think that the ps3 version will win this week.

Third, lego indiana jones on wii has beaten the 360 version during the first week of the game, and in this case, the wii userbase is bigger that the 360 userbase.

It's only what i said.

 



lol... PSP FIFA actually went up a position :D
