What are kids doing with their 3ds over there? Building forts?
Using them to play Mario Kart 7 and then putting them away forever.

I think the art and the humour for SO will really help the game carve out its niche. This reminds me of Borderlands again, everyone is saying it will bomb, because it looks different. I can't say I agree.
Watching Minecraft videos on the youtube app.It always amazed me. What are kids doing with their 3ds over there? Building forts?

See, now I know you're making shit up.
Ms have never released sales data for Forza Horizon, so we've no idea what it's total sales are. If you have a link, please provide.
Of course it means nothing. In isolation. But combined with the charts and other threads for similar expos in other countries it shows an UK market that gives less shit about Nintendo games.
Now I'm curious, what was the huge presence for the families, casuals and children? What's the perfect Christmas gift for that market?
Believe it not, EGX had quite a few children eating up Splatoon. I saw more women in the Nintendo both actually playing games than in the Sony and Microsoft areas (where they tended to be watching their boyfriends or getting LBP selfies)
Im not say at all it is a indication of increased sales, im just saying using EGX as an example of Nintendo not doing well is a bit disingenuous. If crowd sizes there reflected sales, Nintendo actually would be doing much better in the UK than they are.
To further my point, hardly anyone was playing Minecraft at EGX. There was one kid that was playing by himself for at least an hour. That should tell you all you need to know really.

Interesting to see how Alien fares. I don't think it's going to be that big sadly.
Alien should have a pretty good debut in UK. In US? Far less: it's out tomorrow there as well, and it's 34th (PS4) and 82nd (One) on Amazon.com.
Also, Forza Horizon 2 is going down very quickly: it was 20th max at debut, but now it's already 80th, and it's around one week after the release.
I was expecting Smash higher, could this be a good sign for the Wii U one? ;p
People who go to EGX or other gaming conventions are not representative of the wider market. Not in the slightest. Drawing conclusions from queues at conventions is a poor idea.
To be honest I'm already lost and I don't know anymore what is your point, but this discussion is quite off topic now, so let's leave it as it is.
Will be interesting to see how Sunset fares. As much I'd like for it to happen, I don't see a number one position in its future.
Top five at best.
Hopefully, Fantasy Life can stay in charts long enough...it's already good that it's still around top 20 (22nd) in such a crowded week, new-releases-wise, but it has to be seen if it'll stay next week as well, or if it'll be gone already.
Word of mouth will make it sell well.
lmao ;DWord of mouth will make it sell well.
In its second week on sale the Xbox 360 version of FIFA 15 was the biggest seller on 33 per cent, followed by the PlayStation 4 on 28 per cent. There are of course far more Xbox 360s in the country than there are next gen consoles; and the second week has seen the Xbox One slip into fourth place on 17 per cent, compared to the PlayStation 3s 21 per cent.
This is the next "heatwave" now, isn't it?
Oh, that puts it in perspective.Super Smash Bros. Brawl sold 79,000 units in its debut.
For a more accurate comparison a will upweight Super Smash Bros. Brawl to 95% of the market.
[WII] Super Smash Bros. Brawl - 83,158 / NEW
[3DS] Super Smash Bros. for 3DS - Between 37,696 and 51,487 / NEW
Super smash sales are very weak and disappointing, but I'm confident that positive word of mouth will drive sales over the coming years.
Do we ever get digital numbers?? I buy almost pure digital now and I'm sure a big chunk does too.
The game sold 70k in its first week according to MP90, thats not a bomba dude. WOM will be huge, it always is for Forza.
WOM! There it is!Microsoft don't need to advertise their exclusives this holiday confirmed. They only need WOM.
How much did mk8 open at? I almost wonder if smash u could have a better first week. Not Lon term though. Because it'll be during november too.:lol
more like expect the Wii U version to tank here, this is the UK

looking forward to the driveclub bomba talk next week.

Tick follows tock follows tick follows tock.
They wait.

Lets be real here, Driveclub is going to do worse.
My kids have pretty much transitioned now, key moments were release of PvZ: Garden Warfare and Minecraft.

The saving grace is every plus member is going to have a copy, so a cheap PS+ upgrade a few months from now will ensure it will at least be profitable.
Its basically the Killer instinct model, but in reverse.
Fully expect to see next week's sales increase over this week due to WOM.
Are there any reliable Fuse/Into the Nexus numbers?It's going to be Fuse 2.0
RIP Insomniac, SO getting the D4 treatment.
Chart-Track have increased the Vita top 10 to a top 20. I can't fathom why they've halved the 3DS chart and doubled the Vita chart. Well, apart from the fact that the Vita top 20 is awesome as fuck:

If anyone from Chart Track or any mods want me to take this down, just edit my post or PM me. It's not like the Vita chart drives major clicks though.
Question is how the next PS4 exclusive (Driveclub right?) will stack up against other Multiplats. That should be the real teller.
Its number 12 of amazon UK so not bad.I think most people will buy digital verson because it is only £34.99 compared to physical copy which is £49.99
