Forums - Sales Discussion - PAL Charts week 13 (2008) Gt5 prologue begin

So, after going through Chart-Track news I end up with this:

WWF SMACKDOWN 2 PSX (January 01 2001) [100k-200k]
METAL GEAR SOLID 2 PS2 (March 2002) [100k-200k]
GRAND THEFT AUTO: VICE CITY PS2 (October 27 2002) [200k-300k]
CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER 4 PC (March 2003) [100k-200k]
FIFA 2004 PS2 (October 2003) [100k-200k]
PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 4 PS2 (October 2004) [100k-200k]
GRAND THEFT AUTO: SAN ANDREAS PS2 (October 29 2004) [~660k]
HALO 2 XBOX (November 11 2004) [200k-300k]
GRAN TURISMO 4 PS2 (March 09 2005) [200k-300k]
FIFA 06 PS2 (September 30 2005) [100k-200k]
PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 5 PS2 (October 21 2005) [200k-300k]
FIFA 07 PS2 (September 29 2006) [100k-200k]
PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 6 PS2 (october 27 2006) [100k-200k]


WORLD OF WARCRAFT: The Burning Crusade PC (January 2007) [Second Fastest PC game ever missing out to CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER 4 by less than 1k]
HALO 3 360 (September 29 2007) [~465k)
FIFA 07 PS2 (October 2007) [Higher than Halo 3 which that week was ~ 98k]
CALL OF DUTY 4: Modern Warfare 360 (November 2007) [11th biggest first week ever, second fastest 360)

Another 4 games confirmed over 100k.

Assassin's Creed is the third fastest 360 game and debuted lower than The Getaway did in 2002, and that sold less than 100k. PES 2008 on PS2 had around 58% of PES 6 first week sales, so sold around 58k-116k, so possibly over 100k, but maybe not.

Highest Wii first week sales I could find was The Legend of Zelda which was ~70k.

So, 17 games confirmed over 100k, there's possibly a few more which Chart-Track failed to mention, so GT5:P is probably over 100k, and if not, then it's very close. We will see in a few days when ELSPA update their monthly sales awards.



Around the Network

Sonic and the Secret rings rises 6 spots on a week with so many new releases. Madness. Sega Tennis Bomba on PS3 and 360, only charted for Wii, and Hot Shots Golf MEGA ULTRA bomba. Holy freaking crap.

 

Edit: WOW @ X360 Rainbow six hanging tough in week 2. Thought it would tank off and be completely front loaded.  



Imagine Babyz moving back up the charts

How many copies do you buy each week Fishy?

 

Seriously though... how you can support something like that >: (.

more wii titles in top 40 equals more wii shipments

expect wii to be even higher than last week!

There were several new releases so it is hard to say. SMG and M&S were down so it could be about the same.... But I hope you are right.



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

 except Hotd and pro evo, there weren't, so it still has 2 more in the charts. Wii play is on the same place..so yea it could be the same, little lower or higher, but not much different than last week

@BKK: Fifa 07 is a typo right? Should be Fifa 08?
Also it was second week for Fifa 08 when Halo 3 sold 98k for the first week it can be calculated (from chart track news and the fact that Halo 3 sold 465k first week) that Fifa 08 for PS2 sold around 174k for its first week.

BTW:
Halo 3 sold around 465k and it was 68% of X360 software sales for this week. But we also know that Fifa 08 and Halo 3 contributed 83% of X360 sales for that week so Fifa alone contributed 15% (from chart track news when Halo 3/Fifa were released). Thus we can calculate Fifa 08 debut (for 360):
Fifa 08 first week = (15%/68%) * 465k = 102.6k
There is of course margin of error so we can't be sure if Fifa really broke 100k or not but we can assume it was around 100k.
But Fifa 08 (X360) had worse debut than Geors of Wars, Assasin's Creed and Vegas 2. So this would put those games above 100k for first week.

Where did you get info that AC sold worse than Gateway which sold below 100k?
