3 third party Wii U games in the UK chart. One is ZombiU at #16 with 19k in sales, another is that Sonic kart game at #69 and third is Batman at #97...

Not encouraging


Just wait till the BIG games come out.

Damn MS why didnt you price drop in Europe as well? Thats the reason for this insultingly close gap. They even said numerous times that Europe is the real battleground of this gen.

Also, looks like next week will have Forza 4 outselling GT5 in 2012 sales, making it 2 years in a row :)

What about total sales? Just sayin' but... GT5 outsells Forza 3&4 combined.

thank to bargain bin price and re releasing



the 360 is a beast in the US, hopefully in next gen the PS4 (or whatever it is called) will grab more market share than the PS3.

Not totally convinced the Hitman numbers are correct, opens at 450K across PS3 and 360 then drops to less than 80K at this time of the year? I don't believe that.

The 360-PS3 gap is super close this week, it's gonna make an interesting watch for the rest of the year :D

Lots of hardcore hitman fans (PC) are talking crap about the game everywhere.  I guess that crap talk is spreading fast.   Something like with ME3 (with the ending issue, loss of lots of RPG elements, and that choices dont matter) it began selling huge, and then it dropped.

That sale was for Black Friday weekend. This is for the week after, when the price went back up.

That sale was also for Walmart, just like God of War SaGa was at Walmart that same weekend for $15.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

360 finally back in the 30% marketshare club.

When PS4 and Xbox³ arrive all consoles should be in the 30% club.

What a change from when people thought Wii would take over 50% huh?

The generation got turned upside down.

The re-release is recent, and as sales2099 was saying Forza 4 nearly outsells GT5 this year. GT5 made most of its sales at full price.
