LBP owns Uk in 10 weeks.

I would've liked to seen HSG5 and Oblivion for all platforms.


Unfortunately HSG5 (Everybody's Golf: World Tour) probably isn't very high, it never made the UK top 40, although it did spend a few weeks in the PS3 top 30 chart. Great game, I bought the JP version (Minna No Golf 5) back in July 2007.

It would still be nice to see, I'm guessing it sold 50k or so?

 

Anyways, the thread has been deleted by the people from that site, the numbers are most likely true then.



ummm the LBP had a bundle in the UK only I believe that would explain why it does extrapolate. Also the wiis not a 1/3 in UK ratio it is much closer to 3.5

Wii- like 3.35
UK- 5.15 mil
Total other - 17.2

PS3- 4.8 ratio
UK- 1.9 mil
Others - 9.2

360- 3.26 ratio
UK- 3.25
Others- 10.6

Actually the 360 is the most UK centric followed by the Wii, but it should be noted that the Wii caught on in the UK and France much sooner. It was kinda weird watching the Wii Craze hit one euro country after another... France was first, then UK, then Germany, Australia, Scandinavia, Italy, Other Europe, then Finally spain in q3 or so of this year...

Basically we will see the Wii ratio Grow from here on out, I think it was 3 like was said earlier not too long ago.

Also as I said, you cannot extrapolate these numbers from the UK simply by multiplication. Maybe in the US you could do that with 1/3 of the raw data, but Europe (and other even further) has much more Diverse taste than In the US as a whole.



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

ummm the LBP had a bundle in the UK only I believe that would explain why it does extrapolate.


The rest of Europe had a LBP bundle too, UK was actually the last to receive it

Also, you can't just extrapolate UK for the whole of Europe, it's not one homogeneous country like the US or Japan, tastes in games vary widely across the continent.

 

 I know, but it is still a decent way to check if the numbers are OK. Using them for other purposes will give you a flawed number, but still an idea of (roughly) how it is. I think everyone figures it isn't precise.

Edit: Couldn't resist.

Im just going to be gleeful and say all kinds of crap, don't pay attention.

"PC gaming better than console gaming, always" STRIKE!

"PC games sell better than console games" Strike!

I'll leave it at that, before I get too carried away with things. Really this can't be right, a mighty PC gaming icon selling far better on consoles? Hmmm!

Edit 2: Still can't resist:

Thats 2/3 of the tripple B's of PC WRPGs. Bethesda, Bioware, Blizzard... Its close to a trifecta, I can smell it.

 

Let's face it, if it was as good as Fallout games are (meaning not simplified for the consoles) then maybe it would have found more love among the PC gamers, just maybe... It's happening a lot recently, look at UT3, if there was no PS3 version, thus making the PC version absolute and utter steaming pile of CRAP then it may have sold a lot better....

Basically, don't make a console port and fuck up the game and it sells like hotcakes, look at any BLizzard/VALVe game (L4D has to be the lowest scoring game they have and it's also on 360, pattern?), look at Witcher, look at Dawn of War.

Edit: Of course, the actual game has to be actually good to begin with.

Edit 2: Also how is it NOT better? Let's leave the fact that it runs best and looks best on the PC. Bethesda just realesde GECK, and you know what that means? More or less weekly free "DLC" (as I know you are aware, but a lot of others arent, in PC gaming this DLC is usually called mods) for the PC gamers.

Did you notice how I lowered all the ratios, not just the Wii ones?

Ps3 went from 4.8 > 4.5

X360 from 3.25>3

And Wii from 3.33>3

That's because there is bought more SW in the UK than in the rest of Europe (comparatively to number of consoles).

Sure it's flawed, but I still think it is less flawed than using the straight out numbers.
