hope next week better for ps3



Amazing numbers for 3DS. OoT at 1.2mil. Funny how a remake of a N64 game is the best-selling 3DS game. Hope this doesn't become a trend.
Great numbers for PS3. Should be at/near 200k next week.

Xenoblade does bad as expected, HW is fine though.


Don't judge the game on 1st Week sales.

Take a look at other JRPG games to release in EMEAA -

Demon's Souls 1st Week - 39k
Demon's Souls LTD - 222k

Valkyria Chronicles 1st Week - 7k
Valkyria Chronicles LTD - 108k

Tales of Vesperia 1st Week - 11k
Tales of Vesperia LTD - 117k

Resonance of Fate PS3 1st Week - 8k
Resonance of Fate PS3 LTD - 159k
Resonance of Fate 360 1st Week - 2k
Resonance of Fate 360 LTD - 101k

Monster Hunter Tri 1st Week - 73k
Monster Hunter Tri LTD - 353k

Tldr:
If it's as good as people are saying, it will sell over 100,000 units, probably over 150,000 units... And you shouldn't be so down about it.



                            

Nice increase of PS3 sales in EMEAA, but what about software?

I mean rounding out the bottom top 10 is 3DS Pilot Wings with 11,000 sold? really?

So when you buy a PS3 you don't think a game would help with your purchase?

It's amazing that the first HD title is Mortal Kombat, at number 22, and with sales of 6,756.

Was there a screw-up by VGC or are numbers this lame? Sadly, I'm thinking the latter...

I think that the entire SW chart for EMEAA looks pretty abysmal tbh. I mean, on PS3 pricecut Week... The highest selling PS3 game (and coincidentally, the highest HD console game) across the entire EMEAA region is DiRT... At 8000 units?

It just looks wrong.

One good thing on these charts - Mario Kart DS has hit a new Milestone. It's just had Week number 300, and still appears on the chart.



                            

It could very well be wrong - but you also have to remember that the West has had virtually no software of any consequence for close to two months now. That's part of the reason the price cut hasn't lifted software - if you're cheap enough to wait say, two years from last price cut to save some money on PS3 you probably aren't buying much new software when so much used software is available, particularly without the recent hits. The current systems on the market, other than PSP which has highly reduced shelf space now still have their major hits available new for cheap prices as well.

Decent effect from the price cut for the PS3, didn't really expect a huge surge this time of year. Nice to see the 3DS finally start moving a bit worldwide!



3DS is over 300K again this week as I expected!

PS3 Price Cut did...decent but not as good as people on here made it seem.

Wii and 360 did alright.

DS and PSP holding up well.
