Forums - Sales - UK Top 40

Nsanity on 05 March 2012

Eurogamer

EA snowboarding reboot SSX has claimed first place in the UK all-formats chart.

It is the first time an SSX game has ever hit the top spot. Chart-Track does not divulge sales figures, but SSX sold more than double the previous best-placed game in the series, SSX 3, back in 2003.

Fellow new entry Mario Party 9 was third, despite not being stocked by GAME.

Nintendo's mini-game collection scored its best-ever chart placing too - two places higher than previous best Mario Party 8. It landed just behind FIFA 12, which scored second.

PlayStation Vita exclusive Uncharted: Golden Abyss, last week's number one, fell to fourth place. Sales were down 71 per cent.

After last week's flurry of launches, Uncharted and FIFA Football (down from second to eighth) are the only Vita exclusives still clinging to the chart.

Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition, last week's other new release, is nowhere to be seen.

Mario & Sonic London 2012 Olympics was fifth, while UFC Undisputed 3 and Modern Warfare 3 were sixth and seventh, respectively. Assassin's Creed: Revelations and Battlefield also made the top ten.

So Mario Party 9 was 3rd, despite not being stocked by either GAME or Gamestation. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

That probably didn't help, but the biggest problem is the game itself. Word of mouth can't be good for it, so sales would have come to a sudden end regardless of GAME stocking the game.

It's an okay game, pretty mediocre-ish. Very overhyped, not anywhere close to Xenoblade in quality. But I don't think it's bad enough to have a bad word of mouth.

I hope that was sarcasm. You can't say that a game is mediocre and overhyped only to conclude that it won't have bad word of mouth.

It's not a bad game so why should it have bad word of mouth? It's more likely that the game will have non-existent word of mouth...not bad or good. Just so-so.

Golden Abyss didn't drop anywhere near as drastically as I expected. Perhaps it really does have a 65% attach rate. Would love to see more Rayman and Lumines love though, got my hands on them today finally, they're incredible, especially Lumines Electronic Symphony. A Meteos for the Vita or 3DS would be really nice from Q entertainment.
