Since there are some issues with the news section it seems...
After E3, XBLA has re-bounded from the drop it suffered last week, as the gross sales are up over 50% on the week, with many major titles seeing very favorable increases on the week.
Capcom's 1942: Joint Strike wins the week with almost 16,000 units and a #5 finish on our All Time Best First Weeks
However, Go! Go! Break Steady wasn't so lucky. It sold rather poorly, and ended up at #42 of 52 games, with its sub-2k total.
Most every title was up this week. Here are the major movers & shakers of the week:
- Golf: Tee It Up! Sees yet another awesome, 10k+ week. At the 3 week mark, it already has over 30,000 units under it's belt, and looks like it will manage around 45,000 on it's first month. This would be rather good for the title.
- With one week left before it's first month is over, Namco's Soul Calibur is nearing the 60,000 units sold mark, and going rather strongly. It should wind up with 62,500 units (give or take) on it's first month, which will be pretty decent.
- Chart favorite N+ saw a massive increase of 109% on the week thanks to a new expansion pack that debuted Wednsday - which includes 200 maps for 200 microsoft points. Expect it to stay in the Top-10 for quite some time to come.
- Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords saw a 300% increase from last week. Between the price drop, and the new expansion pack, it's no wonder the game jumped more than 15 places on the charts. The expansion pack is also doing well, as it's sold approximately 3,000 units.
- Coffeetime Crosswords, Double D Dodgeball, and Live Draft Tracker all saw very strong increases. It would seem that E3 did indeed stunt their opening sales numbers, as Coffeetime Crosswords alone sold 3,000 units - 2,500 more than it did last week.
I am unsure what next week's game is. It's been mentioned that it could be Galaga Legions, Geometry Wars 2, or Bionic Commando Rearmed. So take your pick.
