The gap, in the previous week, between 'Mario Kart Wii' and 'Call of Duty' was 27,000 units, in favor of COD.

Sales of Mario Kart Wii are up 40%.

Call of Duty sales are up 13%.

This week the difference is 3,000 units (still in favor of COD).

So, I can deduct that :

'Mario Kart Wii' sold ~142,640 units this week, and 'Call of Duty' (all Platforms) ~145,640, in the UK

The previous week, that was ~101,880 units for Mario Kart Wii, and ~128,880 units for 'Call of Duty' (All Platforms).

'Mario Kart Wii' sold around ~100,800 units in the week 49, and 'Call of Duty' ~126,350 units.

Please, tell me if I've made a mistake.

You're right, I got the same estimation. Incredible sales for Mario Kart Wii considering it is already crossed 1M in November.

Mario Kart almost sold as much as the two COD's combined in the UK. That's crazy.

Only 2 versions?  What about the other version like PC and Wii?  Are they not out in UK?

 

You're right as well, there are more than just the Xbox 360 and PS3 for Call of Duty, although they represent the majority of sales.

Professor Layton returns in the Ireland chart too. Given the period of the year, and that it's an 'All Format' chart, this is quite a feat.

And better late than never, 'Prince of Persia' manages to make it into the top 20.

 

Going through the previous news, I get these sales for 'Mario Kart Wii' and 'Call of Duty 5' (all platform), in the UK :

Week Mario Kart Wii Call of Duty 5
45 50310 (Not released)
46 56370 433380
47 74970 212360
48 87720 148650
49 100880 126350
50 101880 128880
51 142640 145640

Remember that these are estimations.

Accumulated, that makes ~615,000 units sold for 'Mario Kart Wii', in November+December, and 1,195,000 units for 'Call of Duty 5', in the UK alone.

The Guiness World Record game is selling better than Resistence 2??? ..... How much is this game on the UK???

 

GAME loves to bundle this game with new Wii's during holiday season, therefore that might be the reason why it sells so much.

What's up with Fifa sales going up so much? Mass discounting, or bundles? Seems suss - so close to Xmas, and with no significant (comparable) movement for the last 2 months.

Almost makes me wonder if EA "bought" the news to be the #1 Xmas title.

Still - individual charts get the vote in my books. Ninty has 5 of top 6 titles in UK - that MUST be a record for them. Remainder of top#10 split between PS3/360.

One PSP title in the top#40 - at #39, and its Fifa :P

Most of the charts seems currently on holidays (at least for Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden).

'Sonic Unleashed' manages to get into the Norway's console top 20, most probably due to the release of the PS3 version (this console seems pretty strong in that country). Otherwise, everything's pretty stable.
