Forums - Sales Discussion - UK: Chinatown Wars sales only half of VCS PSP sales, RE5 still number one

Aj-habfan - I think we'll get all the numbers later in the day.



Around the Network

GTA Chinatown Wars will gain legs through word of mouth.. Quite a few people didnt think a DS version would work and it quite clearly does.. It's a great game.. Great games sell in great numbers.

MadWorld had a disappointing debut in the UK, we'll have to check out next weeks sales to see if it can gain some momentum.

I just notcied Mad World only managed 34th position, which is kind of surprising considering SEGA's Wii games usually sell rather well in the territory.

34th in all format. Its probably around 25 on individual charts. Not bad.

It came out on Friday (Madworld too)
Isn't Friday the last day counted? Or is it Saturday?



 

I think it's Saturday (Sunday in Japan).

Nice to see SF4 sales actually INCREASED week over week:

"After 2 Grand Theft Auto games on PSP, Rockstar’s iconic franchise arrives on DS this week for the first time. ‘Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars’ is new at No6, selling around half of previous handheld GTA title GTA: Vice City Stories’ launch week. A retailer promotion on ‘Street Fighter IV’ (+48%) helps it re-enter the Top 10, up from No13 to No7, giving Capcom two Top 10 games this week."

I really don't understand the decision to put it on the DS, it would have done so much better on the PSP!



 

Damn. Gotta get my proselytizing shoes on.

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
