Impressive Liberation sales considering the number of Vita hardware units sold in the UK.
It probably is, on a smaller scale.
It is a system seller for some. I know that you mean in general, which is probably what most people think about when they talk about something being a system seller.When you put that kind of qualifier in front of it, it's no longer a system seller. Unless Vita sales doubled/tripled this week (like we saw in Japan for Project Diva), it'd be pretty safe to say the game didn't move any hardware.
True, but i'm not sure that anyone here have made such claim about Assassins Creed Liberation. I've seen some claims that it could be a system seller for some, but not that it would boost the hardware sales a lot for a long period of time.
Yep, it is possible to describe almost every game as a system seller indeedThis is afterall very subjective, which game that makes one decide to buy a system.

How much boost did it have?Well for people who still think Vita has a chance Liberation was at the top of the list on why it wouldn't have a terrible holiday so there were definitely some people who think there would be more than a 1 week boost.
Maybe not the UK specifically but in general worldview terms Call of Duty And Liberation are it for Vita this holiday.

I think we'll get a better sense of how Liberation is doing in the November NPDs (with a few leaks because it won't be in the top 10) because to be fair the UK market is terrible right now especially for portables. Layton also had a much worse drop than I thought after an already mediocre start.
The boost is probably pretty small if i should guess, i agree with that. No arguement from me against thatTrue, I don't know how much Vita got boosted by, but how much could a game that sold less than 10k boost hardware by? Unless Vita was selling like 2-3k a week I don't see how it could be.

Two Forza's in the top chart. Nice.
Yes, Forza 4 has extremely long legs (as did the previous Forza games). It still has a long way to go to match Forza 3, though. Forza 3 has 4.5 million players on its leaderboards, Forza 4 has 3.0 million.

The reason why i mentioned it is because i'm not sure that anyone claimed that AC:L would boost the hardware sales a lot in the UK. I could be wrong of course, but i cant remember to have seen anything about that.
Maybe i'm misunderstand you now, but are you accusing me of denying these things? If yes, why do you think that? I used phrases like "i'm not sure", "i could be wrong" and "i cant remember" all in the same paragraph that you quoted me on. This is not denying, and all of these things were referring to the UK market.Denying that Liberation was considered by many the second biggest, if not the biggest, title for Vita this holiday, and that would have boosted the sales of the console on more decent numbers is incredible.
bombed, and it launched in Nov, Reach and 3 were in Sep, you'd think it should sell a bit better than those.

This is just bullshit cooked up in my brain since I haven't played Halo since 3 but I think franchise fatigue and CoD are to blame if sales are falling short from before even tho 4 seems to be one of if not the best game in the series. Far too early to tell tho, US sales are where it's at with Halo.
Liberation bombing and Layton not as big as it used to be. :/
Death at LBP Kart.

Microsofts Halo 4 debuts at No1 and arrived on Tuesday 6th November as the 16th event title launch of the year (normally defined as a Tuesday/Wednesday release).
There are only two more event titles to come this year, with Black Ops II next week and Hitman Absolution the following week this total of 18 event games in 2012 is a record, up from 11 games in 2011. Halo 4 sold slightly more units than last weeks PS3/360 Assassins Creed III (itself an event title from Wednesday 31st October) and Halo 4 ranks as the 18th biggest SKU launch in terms of week 1 units, but does not beat 2007s Halo 3 (15th biggest SKU) or indeed 2010s Halo: Reach (12th biggest SKU). Ubisofts Assassins Creed III drops to No2 (-73%), ahead of EAs FIFA 13 at No3 (-13%). EAs Need For Speed: Most Wanted at No4 (-28%) exchanges places with Segas Football Manager 2013, now No5 (-47%).
Activisions Skylanders Giants climbs 2 places to No6 (+7%) and THQ drop 4 places to No7 with WWE 13 (-60%). The TV-advertised deal for Borderlands 2 certainly had an effect the title climbs 11 places to No8, up 180% over last week. Ubisofts Just Dance 4 remains at No9 (+10%) and EAs Medal of Honor: Warfighter drops 4 places to No10 (-65%). The only other new entry in the Top 40 this week is Sonys PS3 LittleBigPlanet Karting at No24.
Not surprise, the popularity of the Halo franchise isn't what it used to be.
The new Layton game being on 3DS meant it was never going to be as big as it used to because it no longer has such a big install base. The Layton games main demographic is casual people and they aren't likely to buy a new system for one game and until now there hasn't really been any major casual games on the 3DS like the DS had.Liberation bombing and Layton not as big as it used to be. :/
Death at LBP Kart.
Little big death karting, dear lord sent to die or what. 24th on the chart.
Had tons of adverts. Hardly sent to die
Incredible amount of adverts on the UK music channels, it was never off KISS.
And Halo 4 is a 'bomb', what classification does LBP Karting receive?
