Neat charts for the week with one uber-increase for a Sony 1st party favorite.

A few notes:

Software is really doing very strongly week over week now that the price drop is in full effect. Even though software didn't increase strongly the 1st week, it seems now that it's becoming very strong, with 6 of the top 10 games having very little (sub-10%) drops, or increases.

#1 and #2 shootes RSV and R:FOM did phenominal for the week, and should see continued strong sales for quite some time.

NCAA FB2008 has also seen a strong drop in comparison to the X360 counterpart. Expect a good ending in terms of sales.

Also, we've seen Motorstorm increase due to bundling. I have no idea how long the Motorstorm bundles are going to sell, but they should end up propelling Motorstorm atleast to 750k or more.

NGS and Oblivion also see great drops. From Software also made a very smart move with the EM port. With 57k units sold and climbing, EM should wind up with somewhere around 150-175k units sold to nearly match the X360 version.

With Madden Week coming up, expect huge sales. The big question is if Madden 08 boosts hardware sales, or not. Either way, M08 should do fantastic on PS3. Expect 200-300k sales for it's first week.

Unlike the US Charts, despite such a decent hold in hardware (by some miracle), software outside of EBG5 wasn't the same way. Massive drops all around were the orders of the day, with no game dropping less than 20%.

However, the good news is that EBG has totally out-paced Gundam Mousou. At 3 weeks, despite a better opening, Gundam Mousou sold only 18,429 copies, and amassed 233,054 sales. Therefore, EBG5 is 25,000 units ahead now at the same time, and sold 15,000 copies more this week. Therefore, if EBG5 mimiced Gundam Mousou's drops (which if anything, it should do better), then EveryBody's Golf will reach atleast 345,931 copies sold. That'd easily outmatch Gundam Mousou's current 283,010 copies by quite a bit.

Hopefully next week, with no new games (again), and more PS3s sold, new addopters choose to start purchasing new copies of old(er) games. At 20% drops across the board for older games, it looks rather bleak. However, EBG5 should be considered a great succuess considering the PS3's userbase and software attach ratio. Lets hope it leads to more sales in Japan for other software, and the PS3 hardware.

what awful weekly sales in US and Japan. awful awful sales.

JPN isnt good but the US isnt that bad increases in sales is good especially on LAUNCH TITLES.

@yacjuman

Can you stop trolling. Resistance and motorstorm are the only (real games) good games, what can you expect also motorstorm is bundled with the ps3 I expect another increase in its sales.

Yac, you want a ban? I can give those out ya know.

Lol, it wasn't really a constructive comment from yac, but he didnt cross any lines, lets not be too strict. He'll just earn himself a reputation for having no credibility.

@Leo, i agree that the launch titles RFOM and Motor are doing very well at this point, however there is a far less positive aspect of that. The fact is no decent games have come out for the console since then except reasonable multi-plats. And whilst the upcoming HS and Uncharted look interesting, there is nothing to suggest they will be better than mediocre, and in HS's case their are loads of ppl (perhaps more than half of those that tried it) that claim its simply a button masher. The only exclusive game coming for the PS3 in the next 6 months that is guaranteed to be decent (relatively speaking) is Rachet and Clank

Are they free mr.stick?

/sarcasm

Free to 'tards, mitsuhide, free to 'tards.

I agree, these sales are bad especially for third party support.

Compared to?

In the US, the 3rd party sales are doing rather well considering the userbase. RSV will easily hit 300k, TES:IV will hit 350k, NCAA 250k, and so on. These numbers aren't spectacular like X360 numbers, but still solid and are good enough to garner a multi-plat release versus just an X360 exclusive, or total watered down multi-plat.
