Guitar Hero sold more than Rock Band?!!

WSR legs are already dwindling. Wii Fit is already over WSR and the game is more than 1 year older.

MP Trilogy did well in the Netherlands, but as expected didn't even chart in the UK.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

Not surprised by Guitar Hero's success in the UK, it's by far more popular than Rock Band here.

Dirt 2 was interesting though as I'd of expected the PS3 version to sell more/closer than it did(Any numbers?)

Also just from that list it looks like the PS3 is selling much more shooters in the UK, but I'm guessing the recent supply of new PS3 owners caused this movement?

Yea I'm kinda surprised about Beatles: Rock Band not overtaking Guitar Hero 5. But we'll see how legs draw out on those. It's quite possible Guitar Hero is just a bigger brand there... which seems to be the case by looking at sales.

Good start for DIRT 2 in UK but I suspect it won't have a similar good start in America. But should do quite well here and the rest of Europe. And of course good continued legs of Batman and WSR. I expect WSR to be a big seller and continuously in the top 10 even as we hit the holiday season just like it's predecessors. Beatles, GH5, Wii Fit, Batman, and potentially Modern Warfare 1 might do the same thing but on a lesser setting. Interesting holiday season to come.
