Wii didn't get its price cut in Europe until 20th, so only 2 days, (I think) UK was 16th

The Witcher 2 did way better than I expected.

Horrendous 3DS sales.

Disappointing Portal 2 numbers.


EA wont be happy, besides it would of pay its self off and made big profits for valve on Steam sales alone 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

Forget GT5, COD ect, how the hell does Fifa have those legs?!!!!

What I don't get is how Mario Kart and Wii Sports combined beat Wii HW ....

a lot of the software looks peculiar to me.

just by looking at the pal charts every week, unless asia/africa have become a very influencing factor in recent days, these sales don't make sense at all. Fifa 11 and Call of Duty Black Ops for the ps3 are in the top 10 of every single chart week after week and Gran Turismo 5 outsold then even though itst only been appearing on Italy's chart lately.

Here in Poland, each week, one of the major multimedia shops EMPIK provides top games sold and FIFA is always at the second or third place. For example last week:

x360:

L.A. Noire
FIFA 11
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars
Grand Theft Auto IV (Classics)

ps3:

L.A. Noire
LEGO Piraci z Karaibów
FIFA 11
Sniper: Ghost Warrior
Sports Champions

psp:

Patapon 3
FIFA 11
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
God of War: Duch Sparty
Patapon 2 (Essentials)

I knew Nintendo would have trouble selling 3DSs, but it´s even worse than I expected.

Because you can buy both stand-alone.

What other software looks "off"?

I don't think anything else is off, that's kowen!

I guess that makes sense though, it's only a 10k lead over HW, didn't realise Mario Kart was still selling that well.



 

Impressive witcher 2 sales considering its retail only. Can't wait to see how it does in america.

@Troll whisperer: I think the console prices are at a level now where price cuts will have limited impact, especially for the low end ones (ie. price wasn't the thing stopping people from getting one before). The PS3 might still be able to milk a little boost from a price cut due to being the most expensive one, but even that is at a range now where I doubt we will see huge boosts anymore from price cuts.

Yes but surely it was expected to be number one for at least one week. You're right in that pricecuts will have a limited impact in the long run now, but the first week of any pricecut is usually met with a big jump in sales. I think most people would agree.

The Wii pricecut didn't even bring it to number 1 in EMEEA. I expected it to do it for one week at the very least. Well, I guess it's safe to say the Wii's time has passed. It should be number 1 WW though.


The Wii has been reduced to prices lower than the 'official' price cut for months now.  It was never gonna make an impact, in the major markets anyway.

I expected the official pricecut to have a bigger impact, but I guess you're right.
