Bo130 Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 As in the topic with the UK software charts, the french, german and australian charts are also becoming very interesting for us DS-fans these days (and japanese, but those are on the frontpage, so). If it's ok with the mods in here, I would like to dedicate a topic to these charts and comments for them. Every wednesday or thursday, I will update this first post with the latest charts. Here goes. --------------UPDATED FOR THIS WEEK----------------- Australia 1. AFL Premiership 2006 (PS2) 2. SingStar Anthems Bundle 3. New Super Mario Bros. 4. Guitar Hero 5. Cars (PS2) 6.

It's a list of charts from the latest weeks. The dates are on the right side, and the headlines on the left side. It's easy to figure out how to use it, french = 'franske' german = 'tyske' australian = 'australske' This way you can see if this week is getting better or worse by comparing it to previous weeks from the same country
ShadowV7 Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 I like it because it's interesting,if only we could get the Hardware charts,i'd be interested in those.
Shino Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 I tought it was one of those bar jokes. Anyway it's nice having charts from other countries than the usual, specialy when they show such favoring for nintendo, I was expecting Crazy Frog on top.
Eenuh Posted July 26, 2006 Posted July 26, 2006 Wow, I'm kinda amazed to see that the Nintendogs games are still selling here in Europe. That's great though. And of course the brain games seem to do well too, with good reason. =3
knightendo Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 in the australian chart there's quite a few "ps2" games which are multi-format. do these figures combine all formats, or just ps2?
Bo130 Posted July 27, 2006 Author Posted July 27, 2006 Only PS2. If I don't write anything for a multiplatform game, it's all platforms combined, though. Don't think that'll happen. I have updated the australian chart for this week. I have a feature thought for this thread as well, so I'm contacting a mod . The german chart should be interesting, but it's a little late this week. EDIT: The site has been down for me almost all day (and yesterday) - am I the only one? Anyway, I've updated with another great german chart. Nintendo FTW :P
Konfucius Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Thanks for the thread. I'm not very surprised by the French and German charts as I already knew Nintendo does quite well in these countries but I didn't think it was doing that well.
Goron_3 Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 Wow; Nintendo are actually doing amazingly well. Hopefully the Wii will have a similar fate!
Bo130 Posted August 2, 2006 Author Posted August 2, 2006 Updated the australian chart for this week. Mario went up 3 spots
Bo130 Posted August 3, 2006 Author Posted August 3, 2006 Neither did I - it has always been Sony-land. That's why these are interesting as well, seeing if they can hold it up. German and french chart updated.
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 Bo130, excellent thread. Keep up the good work, dude.
James McGeachie Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 Interesting. It's amazing that countries exist where NSMB and Brain Training are outselling GTA.
Bo130 Posted August 3, 2006 Author Posted August 3, 2006 Thanks I've added a new feature to the first post, so that you can compare the charts to previous weeks I hope you like it. If you have any questions regarding the use of it, please ask
Bo130 Posted August 9, 2006 Author Posted August 9, 2006 All 3 charts updated for the week now. Something might be wrong with the german chart, they haven't updated it completely, it seems. That is what I got so far, though. NSMB is down from 2 to 7 to Germany this week for no reason... I'm thinking shortage, but can't confirm that. It's still going strong in France.
McMad Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 The Germans actually love Nintendo I thought it was the french that love Nintendo, and Nintendo are by far doing the best in the French charts.
Konfucius Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 According to http://www.gamefront.de Nintendo announced that Brain Training has now sold more than 500.000 copies in Europe in nine weeks. It took 16 weeks in Japan to reach that number. 60.000 copies are sold per week at the moment. Quite impressive figures for Europe but Brain Training had the advantage that it could built on it's Japanese reputation.
