No "babies" in the uk top 40. It's as in France, where now they have disappeared from the top 20.

NOOOOOO!!!!! SUPPLY CONTRAINED OF COURSE!!!!! I BLAME WII FIT!!!!!


No rank 10 in the ds top, and only 8 DS games in the top 40.

Now, the DS has a top 50:

I hope you realize I was joking. That being said that's still a lot better than the goose egg the PSP laid.

Sure, i understood it was a joke.

And for the psp, i claim before the fact that the psp version of lego indy has been delayed in UK (one week delay), which is very hard for this game, which whithout that, must have been in the top 40 with a good rank.

 



I know it so will......

@lombard: Yep, 37k is for both version of GTAIV summed up. There is no info of 360/PS3 split for some weeks.
As Munkeh said it puts Indiana Jones at over 100k, Ninja Gaiden II at 20k or a little bit lower, M&S (Wii version) and WiiPlay at around 22-25k.

Lol if I sound repetitive, but 3rd party games don't sell on Wii!! Confirmed.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

I've applied the LIJ percentages to the chart and estimated some others by evenly filling in the gaps. I then estimated sales numbers by assuming M&S Wii sold 25k as Sega recently said it was consistantly selling this amount every week. It also matched with what my estimates for GTA IV should be at this week. I then applied these to the All Formats chart and along with the chart-track data that GRID was 3k behind GTA IV. I then refined the Individual format chart a bit more from the All format data. For the chart I've rounded off to the nearest 1k or 1%, but I calculated more accurately than that.

Anyway, here is my estimate for this week, the amounts may be a little off depending on how much M&S sold this week, but the percentages should be fairly close. It gives a good insight into an average UK chart week at the least.

@BKK2. For DBZ burst limit, you expect 12k on 360 and 3k on ps3. For me, it's impossible, because 80% 360 and 20% ps3 split for a game on ps3 and 360 is impossible for a game like this. 9k on 360 and 6k on ps3 is more possible; or 9,5k on 360 and 5,5k on ps3. 10k on 360 and 5k on ps3 is maybe possible, but not more.



@BKK: Where did you get percentages from?

At least numbers for lower positions (20-40) seems unreliable. As lombard said it's doubtful DBZ for PS3 sold 1/4th what 360 version. 



Well, DBZ 360 is rounded up and DBZ PS3 is rounded down so it's not quite as much as 80:20.

It's just estimated mathematically, they might be a couple of thousand off, but it's just to give a rough idea how much each sold. Below #12 LIJ NDS it's too inaccurate to give reliable splits between versions twenty positions apart.

It's not my intention to make the math fit with my expectations, just to use the math with the limited data we get and see what it comes up with.

Anyway, DBZ sold poorly on both consoles, especially so on PS3, but UK probably isn't it's biggest market in Europe anyway.
