| DirtyP2002 said: For me, this UK chart proves 2 things. First: That was a quiet week. You can see that the top of the charts are only old games. Second: The huge amount of Xbox 360s sold were not only replacement units. Games like Gears of War 2 and Fable III appear on that list. Even Splinter Cell Conviction is up. |
I think perhaps the huge number of 360's sold last week were a lot of upgraders, but the 360's sold this week (first full week of sales) went to new buyers. So in the UK at least there will be a pretty big number of consoles sold with the number of re-entries into the top 40/50. Interesting that there are a few re-entries in for PS3, is that going platinum perhaps?
Some games for 360 up and other's down, it's an interesting mix. A lot of the games directed towards the younger audience, and other G-rated games are down, but the adult/violent games are mostly up.
Hard to get a read on the rest of the Euro chartz whether 360 has had another extremely high HW week on the continent or whether 360s's load was mostly blown on opening day.
