"2 titles climb back in to the Top 10 this week thanks to a successful hardware promotion: Warner’s ‘Lego The Lord of the Rings’ climbs 11 places to No8 (+266%) and Mind Candy’s ‘Moshi Monsters: Katsuma Unleashed’ climbs 20 places to No9 (+350%)."

Moshi Monsters is only on DS and 3DS. Are people buying DS's again (we have 550 for all Europe last week in the front page...), or stores bundling DS games with 3DS's? Something doesn't seem right.


According to GAF, there was an Argos promotion (catalogue store) of a 2DS + Lego LOTR + Moshi Monsters for £99 which caused this massive rise.

They're also the store who were selling Vita + Killzone + Virtua Tennis for £140 which catapulted them back into the top 40.

So that's it, stores bundling DS games with the 2DS. Nobody is doing this is Spain.

Guardian splits are up:

2% for Batman on Vita, so maybe ~ 2000 units? Terrible

Well, it doesn't look very great compared to the home console versions.

Those splits clearly show that casual gamers are sticking to Wii and not willing to upgrade. Just Dance sells 86% on Wii vs 4% on WiiU, Disney Infinity 32% vs 6%.

Wii Party U is the new atomic bomba.

Not worried about Wii Party. It'll just keep selling and selling and selling and selling...

I hope.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

So the DS games are due to the 2DS sales. It's selling above Just dance so that must mean the 2DS is hot in the UK? could be anywhere between 3k-8k in sales this week. That's incredible if true.

Nice charts, good font, Wii Party U at 38, wow that is low. I would give it a solid 7/10.

Apparently Animal Crossing got 101% of its sales from 3DS this week, which is interesting.


The Batman title is not the same game found on the consoles. The PS Vita title is the same of the 3DS.

Yes, I know.  I'm not a writer for The Guardian, though, so I'm not quite sure why you're telling me this :P

I'm saying these numbers are probably flawed because they forgot the 3DS numbers and they mixed with other game, so 2k could be wrong.

No, they aren't flawed.

3DS version didn't release, it was delayed and as was Wii U version of origins.

Sonic Lost World is a completely different game on both systems, yet they get combined. The 2k number is correct and that more than I would have thought it would sell.
