Forums - Sales - Chart-Track: MGS4 had "minimal" impact on UK PS3 sales

SamuelRSmith on 17 June 2008

@leo-j:

You also have to realise that Others is the least front-loaded market. Meaning that games generally have smaller openings, but longer legs.

No-one I know of has brought PS3 for MGS4, so maybe the VGchartz numbers a tad little, little over than real numbers.

I don't know anyone who got a PS3 or 360 last week, so maybe there were no console sales?

Acording to Chart-Track in UK, Vgchartz already overtrack 360 sales by 75-100k and undertrack PS3 sales by 75k.

 Well that is certainly not the case for the 5 weeks after the launch of GTA IV where HW was tracked by ChartTrack as being up a good bit more for the 360 then the PS3, which wasn't the case here.

Its normal ,the MGS4 bundles arent out yet in Europe they were delayed one week.

7% is not bad ,the sales were already high.

MGS4 bundle (40gb + game for 449 euros) is, at least, out in FRANCE

but it is only 20 euros saved and 40gb no BC ...

 Exactly, like I said earlier. No Bundles in Europe. They are to be expected this Thursday/Friday. It is a normal bundle with a 40GB PS3 and the game. Results will be here next week. And oh yeah, I forgot no DualShock 3 included.

I know, but this time they changed the figures of last 5 weeks in UK unlike others times. It seem they are quick to change when it suits 360. Vgchartz have 360 at 2.086.268 when it just passed 2 million mark acording to Chart-Track and PS3 at 931k when it just passed 1 million. So the actual diffrence is 818k and not 993k in over all sales. Vgchartz are off by huge 175k.
