Forums - Sales Discussion - PAL Charts Week 28 (2009). The Conduit debuts.

Week ending the 12/jul/2009

RETAIL BIZ: Out This Week

The Conduit blasts its way to shelves as retailers prepare for a quiet week

After Friday's wealth of new releases, retail is set for a quiet week of releases, with only three releases arriving on shelves.

The most notable of these is Sega's The Conduit, a highly anticipated first-person shooter that makes impressive use of the Wii's hardware.

Also out this week is the PC version of Guitar Hero: World Tour (Activision Blizzard) and Mystery Case Files: Return To Ravenhearst (Focus Multimedia).

 

You can also check this VGChartz's news for a more detailed released schedule for this week. (Well sort of, there isn't really much this week...)

Chart-Track's news (on the All-Format chart) :

Tiger Woods KOs Fight Night

13/Jul/2009

The EA Sports heavyweight one-two is reversed this week as ‘Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10’ (-1%) clinches No1 and ‘Fight Night Round 4’ (-45%) settles in to 2nd place after 2 rounds at No1.

Activision Blizzard’s ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ (-2%) remains at No3 but EA are breathing down Activision’s neck with ‘Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince’ at No4 (+71%) looking to make it an EA top 3 as the film nears launch.

Ubisoft climb one place to No5 with ‘Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood’ (+10%) and Nintendo drop two places to No6 with ‘Wii Fit’ (-8%).

Sega’s ‘Virtua Tennis 2009’ seems to have enjoyed Wimbledon, having spent the last 4 weeks within the top 10 and this week reaching an All Format high at No7 (+12%).

EA’s ‘The Sims 3’ (-21%) is down one place to No8 and Activision Blizzard re-enter the Top 10 this week with ‘Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare’ (+10%).

Activision also take No10 with the No1 title from 4 weeks ago – ‘Prototype’ (-32%). Sony’s PSP ‘Buzz! Master Quiz’ is a huge re-entry at No27 thanks to price promotion and Sega have the highest new entry at No29 with sci-fi shooter ‘The Conduit’ for Wii.

The Conduit debuts at number 32 which is a little disappointing but maybe it'll have decent legs.



Conduits having a sloooooooooooooooooow start apparently.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
