Though we don't have actual numbers, it seems 'Street Fighter IV' had a very, very strong debut.

Interestingly, 'Disney's Bolt' and 'Ben 10: Alien Force' both have a -way- better second week than the first one.

For an old game compilation, "Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection" has a good opening.

In the UK All-Format chart for this week (the one Chart-Track comments on) :

  • "Street Fighter IV" begins in place 1
  • "Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2" takes the 3rd place.
  • "Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection" begins in place 7
  • "Race Pro" begins in place 13
  • "50 cent: Blood Cent" begins in place 22
  • Not new releases, but "Ben 10: Alien Force" gains 9 places up to place 4, and "Disney's Bolt" gains 28 places from rank 40 to 12.

In the UK PS3 chart for this week :

  • "Street Fighter IV" begins in place 1
  • "Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection" begins in place 2
  • "50 cent: Blood Cent" begins in place 10
  • And like a repetition of "Eternal Sonata" performance from last week, "Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice" begins in place 30.

In the UK 360 chart for this week :

  • "Street Fighter IV" begins in place 1
  • "Race Pro" begins in place 2
  • "Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection" begins in place 3 (!)
  • "50 cent: Blood Cent" begins in place 9

No new releases has made it into the UK Wii, DS or PSP charts.

Thanks, I really like the format you use here for new releases. SFIV seems like it had a massive first week, but we can't tell how much. Fortunately this was the last week of Chart-Track's/ELSPA's February, so February ELSPA Sales Awards should give us a good indication of how much it sold (not updated yet).

Really pleased for Mega Drive collection, I expected it to make the top 40, but not to be that high. It didn't even need "Sonic" in the title as was deemed necessary for the US release.

Good to see Disgaea actually made the PS3 chart, if only just. More niche than Eternal Sonata, and in a week with stronger new releases, so thought it might have a hard job even making the PS3 top 30.

Great second week for House of the Dead: Overkill, UK is still Sega land :)

So as someone who used to spend all my spare change on SFII Coin Op, I must ashamedly admit to not getting around to buying SFIV yet, this is a must buy for this week, along with Sega Mega Drive Collection. Sega and Capcom are my two favourite publishers this gen, some real quality stuff from them.

SFIV and SMD Collection both being old school franchises and both selling more on PS3 this week could suggest that PS3 demographic is quite a bit older than X360 demographic.
