kamil said: @Fishy: It's nothing unusual for a game to go up in its second week in UK and it's not an indiction of M&S kind of legs. For example Viking went up this week but noone expects it to hang around 10th place for months. Bully on X360 also had a better second week than first but now is goint out of the top 40 pretty fast. |
Yes games in UK tend to not drop much, but a 34% rise is NOT common. Maybe 10% for a game that had weak sales first week. But PES had a solid opening, and PES is a very popular franchise. I do not expect it to be another M&S, but I do expect a slow decesion down the charts(15-20 weeks)
