[BLaZiN PRopHeT]

GTA4 still doing good in the UK.

[360 man]

yep 360 sure is dead in europe. yh... emm... yh...

[Wildarmsjecht]

I hate when people say one console is dead in another country (...save for Japan), but please realize that UK is not Europe. It is part of Europe. That's all I wanted to point out to you.

[LenHart]

where it is not dead but in the remaining parts of europe it is dead --especially Spain/france,italy and Germany

even Burnout and DMC4 failed to chart on the CHARTs of those regions . Those regions account for 60% of EU sales

HAZE is at no6 as u can see

[juuken]

...They ARE dead in Europe. o_o
They're only alive in the U.K.

[360 man]

no 6 for a brand new IP ps3 game

dats perfetic

im sayin it now ninja gaiden 2 will be top 3

[juuken]

NG2, from the looks of it sounds like a pretty disappointing game.

[JOLLY1]

Now that's a better comment Juuken. I like how you phrased that.

[crck]

This is the 2nd week of sales for Haze. It debuted at number 4 last week. Which means it only dropped 2 slots from last week to this week. If you're gonna troll at least learn how to do it right.

[shine1396]

4 wii titles, 3 x360 titles and 3 ps3 titles. finally we have a chart balanced enough to keep me sane...

[OoLegendoO]

Nice to see gta doing so well. Hope titles like MGS will do the same

[PoSTedUP]

thats cool that that gt5p is still selling despite it not being a full game. NG2 will probably sell pretty well looking at the install base.

look at haze, look at how many horrible reviews it got, look how its selling.

[LenHart]

did u just see the madness for KOJIMA's signature at todays event

OMG

MGS4 will easily sell over 2m at eu launch

[JOLLY1]

Are there over 2 million ps3s in Europe yet?

[crck]

in Europe now. Hard to believe that you aren't flaming though considering they sold about 1 million units at launch.

[JOLLY1]

No I really wasn't. I thought that the ps3 was only at around 10 million worldwide. That is a huge number for Europe then. And no I really wasn't flaming.

[crck]

But yeah according to Sony's latest fiscal report which includes all ps3 sales up to March 31th 2008 they were at 12.85 million units sold worldwide. Since that data is about 2 months old now. I think it safe to say they are in the mid 13 million range now.

[name]

Wow haze is selling?

[steck67]

Believe it or not, it saids it right there.

[Bathyj]

Not everyone cares about reviews. I can barely even stand them any more, they're so erratic. My impression is what counts to me.

[SixZeroFour]

i agree...but i wouldnt say my impressions of the game is what matters for me and why i would buy it, but what my friends think about it as well

cause really...isnt about 95% of the time that you are going to play a game really to play it with your friends

[deeznuts]

As I predicted, Haze would sell fairly decently. Sucks that great games like R&C TOD take so long to sell too. Just the way the marketplace works.

[Nathaniel_Drake]

Did anybody else notice that in the top 40 there are no 360 exclusives on the list just multiplat games?

That's odd, I would think at least Halo 3 would be in there?

[Bathyj]

Its not odd at all. Whens the last time M$ released a good exclusive. I buy multiplats on PS3 cos I want a machine that will still work in 5 years so I havent bought an XB game since last year. Its a long time between drinks from Mass Effect to Ninja Gaiden.

[BLaZiN PRopHeT]

thats because they havent released any exclusives since LO which was on the charts for a month. NG2 will be up there next week.

[jtucker78]

I think it is disappointing that there are no "traditional gamer" Wii games in the top 40. (I'm trying not to use the words "hardcore" or "casual") The sort of games original Nintendo fans used to play.

I suppose some people will say Mario Kart Wii is a semi-gamers game, but I'd class it as more of a party title these days.

2) Wii Play - Oh dear.
3) Mario & Sonic...
9) Sega Superstars Tennis!?!?!?

Carnival: Funfair Games? Big Brain Academy?

I find this really disappointing. Look at Call of Duty 4 - game of the year 2007 - still in the top 40 for both 360 and PS3.

Sonic And The Secret Rings is still in the top 40!?!?! WTF!
That was practically a launch title! How the hell is that still in the top 40 and Mario Galaxy isn't?

Where is Mario Galaxy? That was a really really great game. That should still be selling. I can only assume that Secret Rings is there because of the motion controls.

If there is anyone out there wondering why 3rd parties aren't developing Wii games point them at this list. This is why.

In what kind of perverted reality do people buy more copies of Sonic Secret Rings than Mario Galaxy?

[TheFreak]

everyone has already bought galaxy.

[jtucker78]

OK, that explains Galaxy.
Even though Call of Duty 4 came out the same time as Galaxy and is still in the top 30 ... but we'll ignore that.
Or do you mean? All the old-school Nintendo gamers - who obviously bought their consoles on day one - will have bought Galaxy on day one too?
That's fair.

BUT
How can you explain Sonic Secret Rings being in the top 40
considering it came out well before Galaxy?

You have to admit there is something wrong with that.

I know Nintendo are trying to broaden the "gamer" market, but these statistics only go to show that none of the people that they are attracting are turning into "real" gamers, as none of them are buying the great games.

[TheFreak]

maybe that ppl already got all of the other "good" titles and want another game. so they check out sonic because he is a wellknown character. hehe I dont know.

sonic was so cool back in the day. The games coming out these days are crap
