Forums - Sales - US Most Wanted Top 25 (July) - 3 PSP titles make debut

senseinobaka on 22 July 2009

Only 2 Wii games illustrates that this list has limited demographic representation. Actually, it only looks like it represents the 13-35 male. Where is WSR, Wii Fit+, Your Shape, etc.

I also think it's sad that quality titles for the 360 and PS3 are missing from this list. But thats the nature of the hardcore crowd. I guess a $60 expansion pak to a mediocre game gets number 1 while an interesting psychological thriller like Alan Wake doesnt even chart. The lack of The Last Gaurdian is also very distrubing.

No, it's looks about right. Those Wii games you mentioned do not have great first weeks and the target often won't hear about them until a few weeks before release when ads kick in.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Uncharted 2 is not on the list, so in the end it may bomb in USA. But 3 PSP games in top 25 over UC2 mean this chart is useless.

Uncharted 2 will be big, but we might see similar sales pattern as we did with ressistance 1->2. Sure, the bundling wasnt that heavy, just that dont hype it to much, because it wont have a massive opening, mainly because it will probably have legs, and it will come out in an extremely competitive season...

Every season is competitive. Stop using it as an excuse especially considering MAG got delayed

An expansion pak to a mediocre game ?
