Latest UK Charts (w/e 28/02/09)

I think it's also interesting that SFIV is now selling more on the 360 than last week.

Sony is in the Zone

Capcom’s ‘Street Fighter IV’ is knocked out after round 1, only lasting one week at the top of the All Formats Chart – this week’s brand new No1 is Sony’s ‘Killzone 2’ on PS3. ‘Killzone 2’ becomes the 4th fastest selling Sony published title ever in the UK (2nd fastest on PS3 behind ‘GT5 Prologue’).

It is Sony’s first All Formats No1 for almost two years: their last All Formats No1 was at the end of April 2007 with ‘God of War 2’ on PS2. With sales down 49%, ‘Street Fighter IV’ has to make way for a second first party new entry, dropping from No1 to No3, behind Microsoft’s RTS ‘Halo Wars’ which enters at No2. It might not be anywhere near the heights of its exalted predecessor ‘Halo 3’ (selling 17.6% of Halo 3’s record breaking launch week figure), but for a console strategy game spin-off it’s top of its field, outselling the next fastest selling Xbox 360 RTS title ‘Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars’, by almost 3 to 1. Sales of ‘Wii Fit’ are down 11%, dropping from No2 to No4. In fact all the remaining Top 10 games lose sales apart from Nintendo’s ‘Professor Layton’ which jumps back into the Top 10 at No5, boosted by renewed stock. The All Formats Top 5 is dominated this week by single format exclusives from each first party publisher with only ‘Street Fighter IV’ available on more than one format (Xbox 360 and PS3). ‘Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection’ also on Xbox 360 and PS3 and also sporting a retro appeal moves up one place to No6, sales only down 4% on its launch week. Former All Formats No1 sparring partners ‘FIFA 09’ (-24%) from EA and Activision Blizzard’s ‘Call of Duty: World at War’ (-21%) are neck and neck at No’s 7 and 8 respectively, while last week’s high flier ‘Ben 10: Alien Force’ (-29%) from D3P falls 5 places to No9, ahead of ‘Mario Kart Wii’ (-22%) at No10. The only other new release to make the All Formats Top 40 is Konami’s ‘Silent Hill: Homecoming’ at No11, getting a march on Capcom’s famous survival horror blockbuster ‘Resident Evil 5’, due for release on March 13th.

Maybe PS3 owners bought KZ2 instead.

GT5 Prologue? Crazy. The PS3 userbase was tiny compared to what it is now, then.

Turismo's bafflingly popular. But yeah, I imagine Sony would have hoped it'd be first in that particular list.

Doubters Killzowned.

Congrats to Guerilla, totally deserved number one :mrgreen:

PostRe: Latest UK Charts (w/e 28/02/09)

Seems Silent Hill had some solid sales.

Nobody gives a **** about SEGA any more. Oh well.

(LOLZ!)

They'll double that in the first week when in comes to XBLA/PSN

Interesting to see MD Ultimate Collection selling better on PS3, but then XBLA already has the best games up there anyway.

Seems like Killzone 2 sold between 80k (Halo Wars) and 108K (GT5P). Bit disappointing.

It sold less than 100k, otherwise it would have had a Silver Award. I'm actually hugely surprised there is just a difference of at most 20k sales between Killzone 2 and Halo Wars.

Interesting Street Fighter IV reversal. Hopefully next month SFIV will break that Silver barrier.

PostRe: Latest UK Charts (w/e 28/02/09)

Nice to see I was right about Streetfighter IV sales as this week the 360 version sold more. So much for the turning tide.

Apparently the deadline for the Sales award was 22nd Feb so it could have got over 100K.

Quite impressive for Killzone2, any news that it's shifted much hardware?

PostRe: Latest UK Charts (w/e 28/02/09)

im shocked to see that condemned for the 360 just got 100,000 sales. thats been out for a few years now. i always thought it was quite popular. seems strange that it got a sequel despite low sales.
