[via GFK Chart-Track]

Disappointing in my opinion when a game released a couple of weeks ago tops a game that was hyped and been in development for around 5 years.

not dissapointing unless we see real numbers, it was only passed by world cup and that was on every platform. Alan Wake is #1 on individual charts.

good, just hope it have legs i really hope

By the GFK Chart-Track is supposed that Alan Walk sold about 36k (by maths).

Low for the strong 360 market in Others.

36k? in the UK?

ouch..

Well done to AW being #1 game on a single platform. Who cares if that football game snuck in to the all formats #1 by virtue of being multiplat. If VGC did a by country SW list for Others it would be in #1 position by a substantial margin for the UK.

Still it does show the benefits of being multiplat. If they hadn't ditched AW from PC Fifa would be in number 2 on the all formats chart. Then again if they hadn't ditched from PC AW might not have been released now.

if it only did 36k we could see them doing a pc version at this rate:):) that would be good

well its a new game that most people dont know about. wouldnt expect big sales from this game but it could sell well over time like how heavy rain is doing.

heavy rain sold more than 36k in the first week:):) http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=7703&region=All, well probably anyho obviously that includes all sales for others
