Yup, pretty good numbers indeed.

But I highly doubt that you'll get numbers for Germany, as the game is not released over here.

Still, expect something around 100K-120K for the week in others, which is still very impressive for a thhird party Wii game.

That's of course only if the rest of Europe follows the same pattern as the UK.

Nice.



Wow well done Sega! 100k first week for Others seems possible. Now using VGChartz wonderful database we can establish that:

- House of the Dead: 2 & 3 Return sold 21k in Others and 14k in America (rounded up) first week.

- American sales grew more than Others and in the end was 20k behind Others.

Based on this trend I'd say that American sales will be larger than a 1.4:2.1 ratio as more people will look at this as a sequel to 2 & 3.

Therefore I expect America to sell around 0.8 times the amount of Others so that would end up being around 80k.

Japan's week 1 was just a little bit lower than Americas last time however it had no legs really. We can assume then that the sales will be around the same as they were for 2 & 3 (ratio wise, otherwise pen then in for 13k) which means Japanese sales will be around 60k.

That would put the sales at either:

HotD:OK ~200k (Bad Japan)

HotD:OK ~240k (Good Japan)



 

150k first week is good?

Am I missing something?

Yes 



The Umbrella Chronicles is a million seller. It did 237k first week. Isn't that an on-rails shooter?

Granted, most of those sales were in Japan.

@ Kantor

thats possibly becuase resident evil is a stronger frnachise than house of the dead, particularly on consoles.

plus i dont think the game is released in Japan yet

I think this is a very good number consediring that next week , we will have numbers for the rest of PAL region  (France, Germany, Spain, Italy...and Australia).

(This game is released on 13th in UK and 19th in rest of Europe)

I hope it might sold 60K first Week in europe and 60K more for NA. 

And perhaps 1Million LTD, as Shaun White. Who knows ?

 

 

Wait and see :)

The game will not be released in germany so many german gamers order the game in uk or austria. I think that helped the uk numbers a bit.



You're right, z100. I have forgotten this.
