The bundles REALLY help the game
Kirby doing a lot better than expected Posted on: 10/04/08, 18:47

BATMAN!!!!!
Surprised to see Force Unleashed with PS3 version over Wii version. Super Mario Sluggers is holding on decently. Daxter just does not want to leave the Top 50. Wario Land should have done better, but ehh, what are you gonna do? Posted on: 10/04/08, 18:53
Blacksaber says: No De blob!!!! Posted on: 10/04/08, 19:02
GloryhornetEmmo says: Cue the excuses from PS3 owners. 360 is increasing it's lead again.
PS3 software selling well under half of both 360 and Wii with 3 multi platform games launched in the last few weeks.
Great job for the Wii, Lego BM outselling the 360 version. Posted on: 10/04/08, 19:05
hunter_alien says: Lego Batman had a great debut on every system :D Posted on: 10/04/08, 19:11
great debut for kirby supter star ultra, lego games just keep on selling.

MontanaHatchet says: I feel bad for De Blob. I'm sure it didn't have a huge budget, but I saw quite a few commercials for it (so the marketing costs must have been a good bit). At least it shows that big developers are ready to invest in the Wii. Good for them. Posted on: 10/04/08, 19:32

ameratsu says: ouch @ de blob. too bad considering it's one of the best original 3rd party wii games. Posted on: 10/04/08, 20:07
Erik Aston says: Don't cry for Wario Land, De Blob or Samba de Amigo just yet. Hasn't this mistake been made enough yet?
Great starts for Lego Batman and Kirby.
Force Unleashed at 400K WW on all three current-gen systems. Could have three million-selling versions when it's said and done.

Zucas says: Poor de Blob. Ruining my chances of a sequel haha.
I'm surprised Lego Batman opened so close on the platforms of the 7th generation considering that wasn't the case for Lego Indiana Jones. Oh well good software week. Posted on: 10/04/08, 20:32
iamfanboy says: I was hoping de Blob would do better. I saw this at Walmart and my first impression based on the cover was $49 shovel ware, I completely disregarded it. It wasn't until I did some research that I became interested and realized it was a quality title. Perhaps the general standard of quality in the eyes of customers is hindering its success given its price tag. Or because its theme is niche. Just a thought, lets hope it has some legs. Posted on: 10/04/08, 20:38
SaviorX says: I wouldn't count de Blob, Samba, and Wario out as bombs just yet. How many times have we underestimated the legs for these kind of games? How many times have they had increases in sales weeks after their release?
Don't worry. Posted on: 10/04/08, 20:48
Maynard_Tool says: wii is doing really great, as well as DS and X360.
Sony is just not having a good time
and MGS4, w/o bundles is nothing. Like someone said, the bundles REALLY helped that game Posted on: 10/04/08, 20:57
Simulacrum says: Buzz! Quiz TV 4,8k
Omg. Posted on: 10/04/08, 20:58
Actually that's the wrong name It's Buzz Master Quiz, the Buzz Quiz TV sold 10k and it's also a duplicate, so this week we got 2 more duplicates based on the new American charts. YAY for duplicates. Posted on: 10/04/08, 21:02
MGS4 fell off. Old Snake is sad. But it should hit 4 million in time, thank you holiday season.
Wii TFU under PS3 TFU? Looks like the PS3 has better legs for this game as the Wii version charted higher it's opening week. Poetic justice in my book
The lack of Sony in the top 50 is scary. lulz.
Madden has fallen down, but madden PS3 is still greater than Madden Wii. Another game that is breaking this "Wii legz" trend. ^_^
Wii/DS/and 360 have very good weeks! ^_^ Posted on: 10/04/08, 21:45
trestres says: Great week for the Wii! Most titles holding up pretty well. Weak debuts for the 3 games released this week, but we should see if legs are anything judging Zack & Wiki or Boom Blox for example.
They should do pretty well by word of mouth. Posted on: 10/04/08, 22:02
averyblund says: @DMeister, I hardly think 2 weeks is enough to see legs. Tho Wii Madden weekly is right on the PS3's ass and getting closer to the 360. Posted on: 10/04/08, 22:45
FilaBrasileiro says: The Wii Madden is overtracked by a bunch and Madden PS3, 360 and PS2 are all undertracked. Source: NPD. Posted on: 10/04/08, 23:10
heruamon says: 360 is looking gooooood! Another month for the holiday shopping to begin in earnest! Posted on: 10/04/08, 23:20
MontanaHatchet says: Avery: Wii Madden's case would be better if it wasn't overtracked. Posted on: 10/05/08, 00:09
megaman79 says: Maybe de Blob should be cheaper. Maybe it will recover next week. Maybe Wario's name was the key and maybe its interesting marketing approach gave it the edge. Posted on: 10/05/08, 00:57
FreeTalkLive says: It is strange to see games for both the Xbox 360 and Wii to open at 5000. Posted on: 10/05/08, 01:03
Chrizum says: @FilaBrasileiro and Montana: Madden Wii was overtracked, but it got adjusted downwards a lot after the NPD numbers. It isn't overtracked anymore. Posted on: 10/05/08, 01:13
FilaBrasileiro says: It still is overtracked it was overtracked by 100k, I also didn't see any adjustments on it so I don't know what you're talking about unless the adjustment was negligible. PS3, PS2 and 360 didn't get adjustments so those are still undertracked. Posted on: 10/05/08, 02:16
MontanaHatchet says: Chrizum: Yes, and the adjustment didn't really make up the difference between NPD. Just because it was adjusted doesn't mean it's not overtracked. Soul Calibur 4 on the 360 is still overtracked. Madden PS3 is still undertracked. I think you get the point. Posted on: 10/05/08, 02:49
coonana says: WHo is saying wii has no games right now? de Blob, SW: FU, Samba de Amigo, Wario Land Shake It, and Tiger Woods PGA 09 all in similar time frame. Posted on: 10/05/08, 03:57
Hawkeye says: Wario Land basically flopped, just like Nights into dreams did :(
I'll pick up wario land next spring for $15...
Kirby didn't do as well as I hoped. Hopefully they will port kirby 64 with additinal features to DS at some point.
Lego Batman sells (comparatively) badly on PS3- is this a sign that the machine is too hardcore for its own good? Posted on: 10/05/08, 04:43
NightDragon83 says: Wario and de Blob both flopped for 2 reasons... being released during a slew of much more high-profile games such as The Force Unleashed and Lego Batman, and also pretty much no advertising for either one. Shame, both are some of the best quality Wii games we've seen in quite sometime.
Their best hope is if they can get decent legs by strong word of mouth a la Zack & Wiki. Posted on: 10/05/08, 05:05
xxxvitoxxx says: noooooo mgs4 =( well it will get to 4million LTD atleast Posted on: 10/05/08, 05:07
I'm surprised at wario land low numbers... the other Wii releases were as expected.
Plenty of Ps3 games bombing as well Posted on: 10/05/08, 07:59
stof says: It's not just De Blob, Wario and Samba, Sim City Creator completely flopped (and yeah, I know the reviews tanked it, but you'd think it would move first week units on name alone).
I'm sure these games all would have sold better at a 30 or even 40 price tag, but one other aspect is all the previously released crap. Think about it, you walk over the the Wii shelf and see about 40 games you've haven't seen any advertising for. Unless you're in to reviews, how are you supposed to know that De Blob will be any different from Anubius or Ninja bread man?
I really think it's time for the big N to start clamping down on the shovelware. Posted on: 10/05/08, 08:10
lanod says: mgs4 made good times, waiting MGS4 Platinum to go back in top 50 Posted on: 10/05/08, 10:31
KillerMan says: PS2 needs its final price cut. To magical 99$ price point. Posted on: 10/05/08, 14:51
Kenology says: de Blob and Wario Land will be fine and have solid numbers by the end of the year. Posted on: 10/05/08, 14:52
axumblade says: I'm actually surprised that Disgaea DS had that high of a debut. Not saying it's much but it beat de Blob (which I expected to do better) Posted on: 10/05/08, 16:09
axumblade says: and Hooray for Kirby making it into the top 10. I hope that game sells well enough for them to contemplate a Wii release. Posted on: 10/05/08, 16:10
Diomedes1976 says: THe opening week for TFU for both PS3 and Wii have been changed to much closer.I remind this just to all the trolls that attacked me when I said I couldnt see the Wii version significantly outselling the PS3 version ... Posted on: 10/05/08, 16:34
CONMAN15 says: Yeah I wouldn't throw out de blob, wario land, and samba yet either. Those games should have some legs, especially with the holidays coming up. I just don't get the wii owners that complain they want more games but they don't buy them when they come. Posted on: 10/05/08, 23:24
