MGS4 moved to 8 from 14 last week. MGS4 showing good legs so far in EU charts.

Babyz will dethrone that poser Cooking Guide, then Babyz will rule all of Europe!!!

With the continuing fall of GTA IV in the UK and both versions of GTA IV already being out of the NPD top 10 in the US, I think it's fair for me to say again (I said this some time ago) that GTA IV will not reach its predecessor's LTD sales, and likely will miss it by a fair margin.

This isn't because the hardcore aren't there: they are, as the game debuted at sales higher than those for GTA III, GTA:VC, or GTA:SA. The problem is that the legs have been cut out from beneath the title. In fact, I've noticed thsi trend with a good number of PS3/360 titles: the debuts are up to par compared to previous PS2/Xbox iterations, but the legs aren't there and the title ultimately ends up with lower LTD sales (MGS4 in Japan is a good example of this -- it's debut put it on par with MGS2/MGS3, but now the game will likely end up with 15-20% less sales than its predecessors there).

GTA had been a franchise on the rise; it's sales had gone up and up and up from GTA III to GTA:VC to GTA:SA. It is now likely a franchise in decline, or perhaps even steep decline, with sales of 3+ Million less than the last iteration.

San Andreas sold over 20 million on all platforms so GTAIV will never reach there but maybe next GTA if R* go back to basics.

Sorry guys, been out celebrating tonight. I'll update in the morning, I can't match Lombard when it comes to updating the thread on time.

I think everything has been posted here anyway, just not updated to the first post yet.

wow... during slow spells from new releases the charts get scary in most territorys... Nintendomination...

Without new releases Europe is Nintendo territory.

Slow week this week, Lego Indy takes top spot in All Formats chart despite only having #20 & #33 in the Individual Formats top 40.

There's an article in yesterday's Daily Mail about Wii Fit shortages.

... well look at the bright side ... Crisis Core managed to hold its 29th place :P Well thats more than nothing ...

I wonder if Buzz will even apear in the top 40 :?

Those ebayers should have fun. Damn i can only imagine if Nintendo hadn't marketed it as a fitness device would it have done what it has done? Im thinkin that helps, but they got their marketing / game approach sorted so well now it aint stoppin, not for a while atleast. Like maybe 1 or 2 years from now.
