PAL charts week 25 (2008), MGS4 second week, more GTA 4, Wii fit, ....

Second week of METAL GEAR SOLID 4: GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS in Pal region. Certainly the game will be able to top a lot of charts this week, but certainly less that the precedent week in countries like Ireland, Denmark, Norway (because not individual charts here), and maybe in France where Wii Fit seems very strong. One of our interest is to see the fight between the two versions of GTA 4 in countries where the 360 version usually beat the PS3 version. Last week, for the first time, the PS3 version of the game beat the 360 version in Australia. So, it stays Netherlands, Sweden, and UK where the 360 version win this fight the last week. Second interest is to see games like Wii Fit, Mario Kart on Wii, apparantly less sold out now, and maybe some new release as Alone in the dark the new nightmare and Top spin 3. Third interest is the terrible game MARIO & SONIC AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES which seems very strong in Netherlands and UK. Fourth interest is the first week of MGS4 in Spain. I hope we will have Spain charts this week. Fifth interest the first week of Crisis Core FF7 on psp.

United Kindom:

After a close fought encounter with ‘Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots’ last week, ‘Lego Indiana Jones’ retakes No1 in the All Formats Chart from Konami’s PS3 stealth-em-up.

It’s a case of which game falls by the greatest margin as sales of the LucasArts’ film/toy franchise drop 29% compared to MGS4 which falls by 59%. MGS4 shifts down one place to No2, ahead of Atari’s ‘Alone in the Dark’, reborn on Xbox 360, Wii, PC and PS2 after a seven year absence - debuting at No3 with under half the sales of MGS4 this week. ‘GTA IV’ continues to fall by one place, down from No3 to No4, while ‘Wii Play’ gains 2 places, up from No7 to No5. ‘Mario & Sonic’, ‘Brain Training’ and ‘Race Driver GRID’ all drop 2 places to No’s 6, 7 and 8 respectively, while Activision’s ‘Guitar Hero III’ hits all the right notes, back into the All Formats Top 10, up from No13 to No9 - boosted by a retailer promotion of the PS3 version. Having debuted at No2 in the Japanese Charts in September last year ‘Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII’ enters the UK All Formats Chart at No10. Released only on PSP, the Square-Enix published RPG accounts for 54% of all Full Price PSP games sold this week.

There are 2 more new entries that make the All Formats Top 40 – Take 2’s ‘Top Spin 3’, in time for Wimbledon at No12 and Nintendo’s Chef Training (not Brain Training) lifestyle title ‘Cooking Guide: Can’t Decide what to Eat’ at No19.
