My word, aside from one or two exceptions, the UK really has pretty terrible taste in games...

HOW many FIFA/Fitness games are up there???

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

....
17 (11) [PS3] Mass Effect 3 (Electronic Arts) - ~2.9k

Abysmal numbers all around. UK's gaming market is really crashing. Would be nice to get some figures from Germany. Maybe Germany could at last overtake UK as biggest gaming market in Europe. in unit sales there was not that much difference last year and after that UK numbers have taken nosedive.

Yeah, over here, with the close of GAME, things have been pretty terrible. The only things that seem to be selling is the 360 and FIFA, which is a shame. The only thing which comes near for more than one week is the 3DS, and fitness games. It's a sad state of affairs, that's for sure...

Activision must be licking their lips over Spyro's newly found success. So much for ever seeing a good Spyro game again.

full price forza has amazing legs

I'm sorry, but Forza 4 hasn't been full price for a long time. Why do you need to keep saying that?

OT: Nice to see Witcher 2 doing well, GT5 and Uncharted 3 shot up

He probably has the same reason you had for touting GT5 and Uncharted 3. Also quad posts?!

Just a sidenote: An indicator for overall bad sales is the presence of Martio Kart Wii.
