Wow after pokebrawls post I had to check Just dance 4 sales. Looks like bieber marketing was a waste of a lot of money. Not even sure if a new gen can save it.


There is nothing that needs to be saved.
Not yet at least.



I am highly disappointed by my country. Dishonored's OPENING outsold by the third week of FIFA?

Nintendo handhelds drop on a main Pokemon release.

Should have been a 3DS exclusive.

Renewed faith in pokemon sales and against preorder chart here check.

The preorders charts lately just feel really out of whack. Not sure where the numbers are coming from, but their accuracy seems lower.

Quite good for Pokemon though! Considering the legs on them, they should do quite well in the long run, especially with the holidays coming up.

Nice on Dishonoured, too. Looks quite good.

Black and White 2 sell better than Platinum, not as well as HG/SS week 1. LT sales in the US should wind up somewhere between 3 and 4 million. As expected based on Japanese sales.



i just realized that the weekly uk hardware market is bigger as the us-american  market per capita, was that always like this?

But your county is a FIFAfootball land.

I love to watch the Premier League matchs.



Again... DS did ~130k (31k per week) last NPD (and the last, and the last). Now, with a million seller week - it's on track to do 52k (13k per week) here. Like Alan Moore once said, "fearful symmetry".

Oh well. Whatever.

Pretty equal aren't they?

if wiki is correct with population, usa should have 322,714 hardware sales this week to be equal but it only has 225,471
