The funniest thing about the thread is that once every 15 posts or so, Seneque will update some more data, completely ignoring the shit that's being spit all around it! genius!

Separate thread required??? Shall I post it - Madword sales are shit / are not shit, discuss...

Well, it's all relative. You can also say that every 15 comments, despite posting additional informations, I am royally ignored by all the other users. :)

In fact, it's not like I have anything to say on the matter, or it's not my task to say it (I let the moderators doing their job).

Last week, all the talks were about the apparently failed start of "GTA: Chinatown Wars" on DS. But there was indeed a dedicated thread for that matter, so all the commotion happened there, and the PAL Charts thread has remained pretty much "clean".

Anyway, Australia, New Zealand and Sweden added :

I might get flamed but I'm with DMeisterJ on this one.

Usually good games on PS3 and 360 as of late sell good if they are good. Wii sales are very hit and miss.

I don't think you are right. Games that sell a lot on PS3 and Xbox360 are standardized game with a big budget and a big mass appeal like fps or sport games. They are not hardcore games, they are for a very wide public, quite standardized.

An hardcore game like Madworld would have struggled on PS3 and 360 since it's not of these big budget standardized games. Like God Hand did on PS2. Madworld is too hardcore to sell in mass.

And I don't agree with you.

MGS4 is hardcore, just as GT5P/Forza 2, DMC4, Mass Effect, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, Street Fighter 4 etc.

But Halo, Gran Turismo, Forza, All Tom Clancy titles, Killzone, GTA, etc. are NOT hardcore games. They are mainstream titles at the very least leaning on the casual side.

Forza/GT are driving sims, thus hardcore. I can make exceptions for arcade-sims (PGR, DiRT etc.), but not for racing simulations.

Ghost Recon is a hardcore franchise. The newer iterations of Rainbow Six are debatable.

Forza and GT are not driving sims. A true racing sim are games like the GTR or RACE series, where everything, from race rules to how the cars behave to even calculate the dirt in the tires, is kept as close to reality as possible.

I know that, but an average gamer doesn't realize the difference between GTR or GT/Forza. For them it goes like this: slowing down before corners = no fun.

I even know people bitching about PGR4, because it is so "hard". In comparison to PGR/DiRT/NFS/Mario Kart, Forza & GT5 are sims.

why is it when you disagree with you guys and say something you don't want to hear, the word " troll" gets thrown around so easily?

Yes, you may not believe Madworld bombed which it did, but so far it's not looking good and the excuse that NMH was not marketed cannot be used with this one, as I have seen more commercials for Madworld than Killzone2.

It's ok to say Lair, HAZE and even LBP bombed all day with tons of treads, but when the ball is on your corner, it's suddenly TROLLING.

Becouse trolling PS3 is fashionable

but even slight criticism of Wii is taking a risk of being banned on VGC

But on topic I'm amazed Empire TW is still keeping in so many top charts.

UK Week 14 Releases:

RETAIL BIZ: Out This Week

Tenchu Shadow Assassins and Ninja Blade infiltrate European retail shelves.

A distinctively Japanese line-up approaches retail this week as a mixture of RPGs and ninja-infused adventures arrive, including Tenchu Shadows Assassins and Ninja Blade make their UK debut.

Ubisoft releases the fourth in the best-selling Tenchu series, developed by the original creators of the first Tenchu game. Boasting familiar characters, a brand new storyline and Wii motion gestures assigned to each weapon, the game is sure to cause a buzz among the franchise’s fans.

Alternatively, Microsoft’s Ninja Blade offers 360 owners the burden of defending Tokyo from a genetically mutating disease. Unlike its Ubisoft rival, Ninja Blade twists the formula by setting its adventure in modern day Tokyo, with battles taking place on the rooftops and towering skyscrapers.

Also out this week is a duo of Square Enix RPGs Disgaea DS and Valkyrie Profile: Covenant Of The Plume and Dance Party Pop/Club Hits (Nordic Games).
