Uncharted didn't sold spectacular but maybe it's just becouse Holiday rush and it is just hard for any PS3 title to top the chart? In America Uncharted also didn't debuted on high positions: it started on 30th place, than go up to 23th, and than to 16th. So it was pretty low but sold 186k in 3 weeks - that's not bad at all. The only PS3 exclusive that sold more in its first 3 weeks is Motorstorm and only by a little (4k).
Also Uncharted should perform better in other European countries as there are relativly more PS3's. Uncharted won't have as good start as CoD4 or AC but I still think it can break 100k in its first week in Europe.



Mario & Sonic, beating Super Mario Galaxy? Impossible!



Impossible? No it's quite logical.

My mum came up to me after watching a program that discussed the Wii.
This is what she said.

"I really liked the game that you do all the Olympic sports in, it looks REALLY fun!"

Then my brother asked her what she thought of the other game (SMG)

To which she replied

"Ohh the one where you save a princess? It looked very silly to me"

I think that explains it. Anyone who has never played a Mario game isn't going to be interested in it, but M&S? It looks like Wii Sports but with many more games.

Add in the fact that it is based on the Olympics which is very close to the hearts and minds of the UK people as we are hosting it in 2012.

It is also far more multiplayer friendly then SMG which is very important during the holidays when friends and family are coming around, they don't want to be watching you play SMG, they want to be playing with you - And what better game to be playing after the intro to Wii that is WiiSports? Well M&S ofcouse!

One last thing, Sonic was very popular here during the Saga MegaDrive days, but I'm not sure if that has any impact.



"..just keep on trying 'till you run out of cake"

Australia added. Wii shows it's power.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

@kirby: I think Lombard just assumed. He is French so I don't think he speaks Dutch. Maybe you could ask in comments section below the chart on gamekings?
