Forums - Sales - MySims debut at #2 on UK charts

shams on 25 September 2007

Looks like EA have their first "hit" on the Wii. Strong start in the UK, with the Wii version getting approx 60% of sales, and the DS version scoring 40%. Here's hoping the 2nd-gen Wii titles from EA are better quality than the first ones:

MySims debuts at number two

Electronic Arts' Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 has climbed the charts to become the number one selling game in the UK thanks to its release on the PlayStation 3.

The sports game has jumped from number three to number one, knocking the publishers' own Medal of Honor: Airborne off the top.

MySims, another EA property for Nintendo consoles, has entered the charts at number two, with the game seeing 58 per cent of sales on the Wii and 42 per cent on the DS.

Super Paper Mario climbs the charts to number three, with Midway's John Woo Presents Stranglehold at number four.

Elsewhere in the charts, Codemasters' Colin McRae: Dirt enters the top ten at number eight and the second highest new entry is VU Games' World in Conflict at 15.

Sony's SingStar Rock Ballads has entered the charts at 25 and Sega's Sonic Rush Adventure breaks into the top 40 at 26 on its second week of release.

The only other new entry is Sony's PS3 title Warhawk at number 38.

Impressive. EA game originals deserve better luck than endless supply of re-hashes.

Warhawk's debut is actually a little more interesting, i find, but it is good to see one of the 3rd Parties doing well for the Nintendo Systems, hopefully it holds up

I don't really think it counts because it's the DS and Wii version...

To be fair, in the way that it's counted in pretty much every site (i don't know why in the UK they combine the games over all platforms its annoying) MySims game in 5th on Wii and 8th on DS... Still very good. Surprised that SPM is still at the top of the charts.

SPM still on top of the charts? How long has it been out in Europe? Saw it last week as a quite new release in Germany.
