Good PS3, 1st again, good the others too, stabilizing at nice numbers for a slow season. Wii didn't drop at all despite no noteworthy launches. I don't understand DS growing without noteworthy launches too, special offers weren't so special, at least here, and it's sure there'll be far better ones after 3DS launch...

Is LBP2 going to stabilize over 30k? Will it do it in America too? Only in Japan it started quite meh, but in a slow season, and it still haven't had its first Xmas WW, BF in USA and Golden Week in Japan. GT5 still in the Top 20. Kinect beats again Balance Board in EMEAA too.

When the Kinect Slim comes out lol. 

Erm, don't think that's coming, but Wii has dropped massively since holidays, way more than the others % wise. So perhaps in a few weeks.

Gran Turismo 5 continues to prove it's doubters wrong. Very nice!

On the other hand, the numbers aren't as exciting outside of price cuts & holidays.

I'm more surprised aout Forza Motorsport 3. About half the sales of GT5 despite it being a year older, and a lesser known brand in EMEAA. GT5's release made a lot of comparisions between the two games and boosted Forza 3's sales noticably. I hope Forza 4 sells well in EMEAA.

I don't think the comparisons to GT5 did anything with Forza 3. Software is up as a whole and GT5 will do exactly what many predicted: clear 10 million.

Won't cross 10 million at this rate. GT4 had 51k sales in week 13 for EMEAA, during a slower month, and stronger sales in Japan and Americas. GT5 only had 31k sales in week 13 for EMEAA, about half. GT5 is showing strong signs that it will have weaker legs then GT4, which only just crossed 10 million.

By comparision, Forza 3 only had 20k on it's 13th week in EMEAA (2/3rds GT5). A Year later and a month, it only gained 769k more sales in EMEAA. If GT5 continues to hold 50% stronger sales, we should expect about 1.15 million for EMEAA in about a year. Include Americas and Japan, and sales and they could be between 1.6-1.7 million (using ratios from either total or weekly sales betwen regions).

That should put GT5 between 7.2-7.3 million sales next year, but it won't stop selling after 1 year. However after a year and 3 months, expecting the game to sell 3 million units is unlikely.

But believe what you like.

Note, last week GT5 sold 23k in EMEAA, so my calculated estimate could still be high. Sales by next February could be as low as 6.8-6.9 million. Still, best selling PS3 exclusive, only surpassed by two Call of Duty titles.

It's still too early for LBP 2 sales to stabilize, but it shouldn't go below 20k weekly for a long while.

I'm really surprised Black Ops jumped.

you should be wondering when/if it can overtake the other HD console weekly

you know the one that shares the same type of games and controllers, the one that released 16 months later and has passed it in total in this region , the one that is still priced the highest in this region

wondering if it will outsell the other console the one that has already sold more than it by 13M in this region and has outsold it in every sub region despite releasing a yr later, has already peaked and is still priced more than the cheapest 360 sku in this region wont do you no good...

Why would I? use common sense. I don't think it will overtake PS3 weekly so I'm not going to wonder. What a stupid post.

You know GT5 is undertracked in EMEAA... by shipped comparison GT5 sold in 6 weeks what GT4 sold in 6 months... GT5 is selling way way way better than GT4.

It seems the kinect fad has finnaly died   Kinect Adventures! legs are good there, dropped out of the top 10, and it seems that the US is the only place it still has good support.


ha you are wrong about something bud, you cannot trust the positions when 2 new games enter, last week in emeaa kinect adventures sold 31k this week sold 38k. So dont troll the Kinect k?

KA wasn't the only one that has lifted.



Above: still the best game of the year.

Whats with the big console sales in the UK?

Allow me to answer this question, and also the people asking why SW sales are way up.

There are a couple of reasons:

 

  • This week, and next, Tesco has cut 20% off EVERYTHING video game related. Consoles, SW, memory cards, points cards, accessories... I know I bought a couple of games because of this!
  • The 3DS has been the focal point of many gaming retailers here. So a lot of consoles are getting price cuts/bundles (for example, you can get a Wii, Wiimote, Nunchuck, MKWii and 4 wheels for only #99, that's about 35% off compared to last week!)
  • Gaming stores are in a sales period, slashingprices everywhere
  • Advertisements have been steep this week for older games.
Or, of course, it's just adjustments

 

I'll go with adjustments cause I don't like these numbers
