What happened to R&C? It fell off a cliff. It fell to 10th on the PS3 chart in the UK. It's getting killed by a wrestling game.

It's also sold out at every online retailer in France.

Sold out in Game and Gamestation too near me but the £5 cheaper Tesco has some which is odd.

My friend's nan who is 76 has been told to buy brain training by her Doctor, bet that game has the highest average age of players for a video game of all time!

 How is it in godsake possible that everytime you see bad sales for SMG that you start about R&C??

No one every mentioned R&C as a big seller even on VGCHARTZ where Leo-J said R&C will probably haves 1 million units sold global at the end of the year.

If you have a complaint report me. Again with the attacks, just ignore me if you hate me so much, sheesh.

This would indicate two possibilities, either, the Wii userbase is very casual outside of NA, indicating why a more "hardcore" title like Mario posts relatively weak sales, or people are holding off until the holidays to purchase this game



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Or it's sold out in many places (which it is). Or it's unreasonable to expect heavily frontloaded sales on a title like this. Or it sold more than 70,000. Or or or or or or...

VERY disappointing for SMG

also I MUST say R & C has been a HUGE disappointment sales wise

I mean AC almost beat R & C USA first week in UK!!

I mean I love R &C, it's THE game to own on PS3 right now

but WHY are people not buying it!!

My prediction for YEARS END:

WII - 18.3 Million

Xbox 360 - 15 Million

Playstation 3 - 8.5 Million

R&C was just released today officially even if some stores broke the street day last week

70k isnt so bad but AC PS3 did nearly the same with about half the userbase...

People just need to stop expecting explosive first week sales for SMG. I've warned you all about this repeatedly. I wouldn't be surprised at all if SMG debuts in America at around 400K.
