In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

It's really interesting to compare how different the 3 main European markets (UK, France, Germany) are, software-wise. In the present case, the German market seems to have gone full-handheld (DS).

The transition to the next/current generation seems pretty slow, as illustrated by the still strong PS2 software sales, and the inability of the PS3/360 titles (and to a lesser extent, Wii titles) to remain more than 2 weeks in the top 10. In term of trends, that makes it the closest to the Japan market.

Glad to see that Professor 'Layton' is doing fine in Germany too.

Regarding the other charts, there isn't really anything to say, outside that it's pretty apparent that the winners of this Christmas season have already been decided.

Amazon UK lashed 60% off of LBP's price. They probably aren't the only retailer.

 

 

 same as the Fallout, Fable jumps of last week for the 360.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Thanks, it's corrected. I was really wondering how 'Need for Speed' on DS has been able to get there, in the top 10. Now, it's more logical and coherent.



Usually MCV have a double issue the week before Christmas, so I don't expect another update until week 52.



You can see the retail price wars in full effect here, value only increased slightly, but units increased by a far larger margin. I don't think Japan can come anywhere close to that many units, so UK probably passed Japan for year to date unit sales this week. The only question is, can Japan make it up in week 52? I think it's unlikely to make up for this week's and next week's difference, UK has probably beat Japan for unit sales this year, but can it win for value with the recent fall in the £ x-rate? Famitsu data is the most important for this comparison, as ELSPA use Famitsu numbers, so any announcement by either party will be based on Chart-Track and Enterbrain figures.

Full Chart-Track 2008 annual report will be in January 23rd issue, but I expect we'll get the basic overall figures before then.



I've added Prosugno's numbers separately in the first post.
