Forums - Sales Discussion - Pal Charts, Week 4: M&S strikes back

Wii software still pretty much dominating UK. 15 of the 40 top slots. Galaxy took a small nosedive. Possibly just a small lull for the game.

I hope todays charts will be up soon!!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Can't wait to see all the charts! Any word on when the next charts, including ours, come out?

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

So many Wii titles are doing great. Especially glad to see Z&W doing rather good



.

The great thing about Z & W doing well is that it is such an amazing game the word of mouth will be tremendous!

The problem w/ NA and Japan is that it did not sell enough to get enough word of mouth(I believe we will see a steady 3-4k in NA for a LONG time however)



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Maybe, we could explain the percentage with an other analysis.

 


Of course, piracy is another explanation, as PS3 hasn't been cracked yet. I noticed the same thing happening in Europe, multi-platform titles selling more on PS3 than on 360 despite PS3 having a smaller install base at the time. I still think it's due to piracy. Americans seem to have a far stronger anti-piracy sentiment compared to Europe, which might explain why the same thing isn't happening there.

Also, from what I've read (not much as this game doesn't interest me) PS3 version is supposed to be the better version, so maybe multi-console owners have chosen to get it on the PS3 instead of 360. 

Now we're seeing multi-platform PS3 games start to outsell the 360 version in Netherlands. We don't have accurate hardware sales for there, but if it's anything like the rest of mainland Europe, then 360 probably still has a hardware lead, but PS3 is catching up. That was the pattern in rest of Europe anyway.



That split for Burnout being so close even though 360 has a higher install base is VERY telling of something IMO.

 

It used to be a joke that the PS3 could gain on the 360 in hardware or software, but I have been watching the EU regions. And while the Wii is just running away with the race it seems that the fight for #2 is getting interesting. Burnout did VERY well in relation to the 360 version. Its odd to see these things happening. Would be bad for MS is Sony starts selling more software in EU than they do, especially when we know Wii sold more software than 360 in December also despite a userbase disadvantage.

 

MS needs to reignite things quickly. That whole "We have the highest attach rate!" is going to be jack all if Wii moves more hardware and software in the US and PS3 surpasses them in EU in soft and hardware and they get thwumped in Japan as well. That would leave the 360 in the same spot as the Xbox. Losing. 



@bigjon
Don't make it seem like such a big deal. The game sold almost 50k in European (others) charts in the front page. SMG is experiencing the expected drop-offs. It happens to all games. M&S is an anomalous beast, however. I suppose people in Europe can't resist a game with two of the most famous VG characters of all time.

Even if SMG is falling, it's still doing better than a lot of games, which I'm sure would kill for its legs.
