Except it didn't. PES released on Friday as well, as do the vast majority of games in the UK. Activision are one of the exceptions that tend to go for simultaneous world wide releases hence often release on Tuesdays. But for the most part Friday releases are the norm in the UK which makes the 'only 2 days' excuse pathetic at best. It's no different from any other game, if it failed to sell well in that period then it simply failed to sell. Plenty of other games in the UK can sell well in their first week despite releasing on a Friday. |
I used the data provided by Wikipedia for EU release. I don't have any data for games in UK but I am sure, although my attempt was oh-so pathetic (which is surprising to me as I didn't want to make the discussion personal but there goes the preference in discussion style) that you can provide explicit data on games released this year, when they released and how much they sold in their first week (or better, for the majority of these games: there 2 days they released).
