Some quick conclusions / comments - then I have to give up my PC for a while... :P
- Pokemon is amazingly strong compared to most other things on the list. Should hit 5m by the end of the year without a sweat.
- a couple of PSP titles, show that even PSP games can sell well - and have legs. GTA especially has done very well.
- Gears of War has been a huge success, and will slip into the 3m bracket within a couple of weeks.
- Fight Night has been a great success for EA
- Guitar Hero has been a revelation for Activision
The titles in the bottom bracket are interesting. They show that the brand is strong, and it has excellent legs - although the overall demand isn't that strong. Of these titles, a couple stick out:
- Hanna Montana: with almost 700k sold, this has been a huge success. Look out for the sequel coming soon!
- Tekken (PSP): quite poor sales really - averaging around 4.5k/week.
- Scarface has done really well (and this is just a single platform).
...
(it should also be noted, that I cut the charts at #100 - as there were too many titles to track after the #100 position. Maybe if we limit to 1m+ sold + 30 weeks ... I did notice Halo 2 in there, with 6.6m sold)
