Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Soul Calibur IV did excellent! I can't believe people here are suggesting otherwise. The 360 version alone did 4x as well as SCIII did: combined with the PS3 version, it appears SCIV did approximately 7x the total of SCIII in its first week. How can that possibly be considered bad?

Well comparatively it seems to have done well.  But considering SCIII didn't sell more than 100k in UK it doesn't have great numbers.  I mean the 2 versions combined in the UK may have gotten around what the PS2 version did LTD which is good for the franchise.  But I think people were expecting more.

But within the franchise its a good start.

Soul Calibur took 3rd place on full price chart (after pro cycling manager 2008 and Kung Fu Panda). I'm not really sure how Pixeline could take 16 of 20 spots in all price chart.

 

 



Looking at the new PS3 platinum releases, only Ratchet and Uncharted made the PS3 chart, Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm, and Resistance all failed to make the top 30. The platinum release may help boost Uncharted past 200k, it passed 100k fairly quickly, and continued to chart well, but didn't pass 200k, so I think it must be fairly close.

Does someone want to volunteer to do this week's PAL charts? I'm unlikely to be around much next week.



The UK chart looks like a Nintendo chart. Nintendo has really taken over UK. What a drastic change from last gen.
