what about other retailers?

A nice feat for DK considering the UK hates Nintendo games. If it's doing that decent in the UK, then numbers will no doubt be better in Germany, France, US, etc.

Hooray. Tropical Freeze will boost Wii U sales in the UK from 2,179 to 2,180. Wii U saved in UK.

So like 6k for DK in UK? Not that good but to be expected.

Argos (biggest catalogue retailer in the UK) have PS4s( PS4 + Knack bundle) at 2 stores. There are 737 stores in the UK. Its supply constrained massively! I expect PS4 sales to drop massively in the coming chart updates here.

Probably closer to 10k, but with no platform splits and no Minecraft % change it is hard to know for sure.

Not a great start for DK, but it could have been worse. DKCR had a relatively poor first week in the UK.  Granted that was probably around 30k, and it went up in subsequent weeks.  Week 2 was +68%, week 3 was -13%.  That would put the 3 week total at (launch week)x4.14, or 124k if that 30k number is accurate.  This DK obviously won't have the same legs considering it wasn't released in December.  This past week was also apparently a school holiday which probably had a positive impact for DK, but could mean a harsher drop next week.

EDIT: Actually there were splits for Lego.  Last week it did 38,500.  This week it was up 7% so 41,195.  PS3 was 21%, 8,651.  DK was one spot below the PS3 version so it is less than 8,651.

We have 8.6k for Minecraft last week tho? Even so it's in the range of 6k - 9k and that's poor. There are 200k WiiU owners in the UK, what did they buy the console for if not Mario and DK (which have both done poorly)

Minecraft was likely up last week, but see my edit.  Based on Lego numbers it (DK) is less than 8,651.

I really don't know what Wii U owners are doing with their consoles.  This is a problem Nintendo has had with their software release schedule for a while.  I can remember a lot of interviews with Reggie saying "we have this, that, and the other over the next quarter."  However people have to be interested in every single game for it to be a fleshed out lineup.  Sales figures show that those buying habits don't happen for the majority of owners.

These englishs sure love their minecraft.

Personaly I think englishs have terrible taste in video games. Knack and Alien outselling SM3DW only strengthen my opinion.
