Wierd that they have both versions of Cooking Mama under one listing but I guess they do that with handheld versions of multi-system games usually too, even if the handheld version is drastically different.

Yes they do it as well.

Quite irritating indeed but at least it's free (although MediaCreate is also free and much better...)

TOP 40 ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE (ALL PRICES), WEEK ENDING 2 June 2007

 

 

Disney Interactive Studios celebrate a swashbuckling second week for ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End’, claiming their first ever All Formats No1 and forcing Activision’s ‘Spider-Man 3’ to walk the plank – falling from No1 to No3.

 

‘Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End’ sails into a commanding lead at the top thanks to an 83% increase in sales on last week, becoming the 3rd film tie-in to reach No1 in the All Formats Chart in the past 8 weeks (after ‘Spider-Man 3’ and ‘TMNT’), and topping the PS3, PSP and Xbox 360 Charts. Eidos miss out on the top spot, debuting at No2 with ‘Tomb Raider: Anthology’, but can console themselves with a 3rd Tomb Raider game to debut at No1 in the PS2 Full Price Chart (after ‘Legend’ and ‘Angel of Darkness’). Nintendo remain the most represented publisher in the All Formats Top 10 with format exclusive titles ‘Mario Strikers Charged Football’ dipping one place from No3 to No4, ‘Wii Play’ holding on to No6 and ‘Kawashima’ down one place to No8. Sales of ‘Cooking Mama’ from 505 Games are still simmering nicely with a half-term rise of 3 places from No10 to No7.

 

The next highest new entry after ‘Tomb Raider’ goes to ‘Shadowrun’ from Microsoft at No11 – the first title geared towards cooperative online play between PC and Xbox 360 gamers. THQ’s ‘Spongebob & Friends: Volcano Island’ erupts into the Top 40, new at No14 in its second week of release. The new ‘Pirates’ film manages to unearth lost treasure, with the budget priced ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: Jack Sparrow’ back in the Top 40 at No23.

TOP 40 ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE (ALL PRICES), WEEK ENDING 9 June 2007

 

Microsoft speeds to the top of the All Formats chart as ‘Forza Motorsport 2’ on Xbox 360 puts last week’s No1 ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End’ to the sword (down 2 places to No3).

 

‘Forza Motorsport 2’ has an excellent launch week, becoming the 3rd fastest selling Xbox 360 title ever (behind ‘Gears of War’ and ‘Pro Evolution Soccer 6’) as well as the 4th fastest across any format so far this year (behind ‘World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade’, ‘Final Fantasy XII’ and ‘Resistance: Fall of Man’). Lara clings on to No2 with ‘Tomb Raider: Anniversary’, but the gap between her and ‘Pirates’ at No3 is only 1,000 sales. Activision’s ‘Spider-Man 3’ is pushed down from No3 to No4, while Nintendo manage to move up one place to No5 with ‘Wii Play’ - the only Top 10 game to increase sales this week (up 14%). However ‘Mario Strikers Charged Football’ is off target this week, positioning itself at No6 (down 2 places), while Konami’s more realistic football title also falls 2 places with ‘Pro Evolution Soccer 6’ down to No7. Microsoft have 2 games in the All formats Top 10 this week thanks to ‘Shadowrun’ climbing from No11 to No10. Microsoft fare less well with the Vista-only PC version of ‘Halo 2’ which doesn’t make the All Formats Top 40, coming in at No5 in the PC Full Price Entertainment Chart. The only other new entry in the Top 40 this week aside from ‘Forza’ is EA’s ‘The Sims 2: H&M Stuff’ which makes its debut at No11, while Nintendo claim this week’s highest re-entry with ‘The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess’ at No24 and also enjoy a first appearance in the Top 40 at No31 for ‘Wario: Master of Disguise’ which was released 2 weeks ago.

TOP 40 ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE (ALL PRICES), WEEK ENDING 16 June 2007

 

Microsoft’s ‘Forza Motorsport 2’ retains pole position in the All Formats chart for a second week with ‘Tomb Raider: Anniversary’ and ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End’ both stuck at Nos 2 and 3 respectively with only 183 sales separating them.

 

Sales of ‘Forza Motorsport 2’ are down 34% on its launch week, but competitor ‘Colin McRae: Dirt’ from Codemasters cannot beat it, debuting at No4 and selling just over half of Forza’s total on Xbox 360 this week. Nintendo remain the largest represented company in the All Formats Top 10 with 3 titles – ‘Wii Play’ holding on to No5, ‘Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training’ jumping from No8 to No6, and ‘Mario Strikers Charged Football’ slipping 3 places to No9. There is only one other new release to make the All Formats Top 40 – Take 2’s multi-format ‘Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer’ entering at No8 behind another comic book film tie-in ‘Spider-Man 3’, dropping this week from No4 to No7.

 

Competitive pricing pushes EA’s ‘Medal of Honor: Vanguard’ back into the Top 40 at No18, while ‘The History Channel: Great Battles of Rome’ from Black Bean manages to break into the Top 40 in its second week, at No34.

A third week and a third lap of honour for Microsoft’s ‘Forza Motorsport 2’ (although sales are down 45%), retaining top podium position in the All Formats chart for a third week, something the original title on Xbox never quite managed - it was held to No2 upon release in week 19, 2005 behind Lucasarts/Ubisoft’s ‘Star Wars Ep III: Revenge Of The Sith’.

 

Back in the present and 2K Games/Take 2 climb six places to No2 thanks to movie/comic book franchise ‘Fantastic 4: Rise Of The Silver Surfer’ (+70%), whilst Codemasters climb one place to No3 with ‘Colin McRae: Dirt’ (-29%). Disney’s movie tie-in ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World’s End’ drops one place to No4 (-35%) and continuing with the movie theme, Activision are up one place over last week at No6 with ‘Spider-Man 3’. Activision also unleashes the next big name summer blockbuster this week with ‘Shrek The Third’ debuting at No13 on 4 formats (DS, Wii, 360, PC) with PS2 arriving on the same day as the film’s general release – this Friday 29th June. Right behind Shrek is Empire’s Xbox 360 ‘Flatout: Ultimate Carnage’ debuting here at No14. On the Xbox 360 Full Price Chart driving is certainly flavour of the week with ‘Forza Motorsport 2’ at No1, ‘Colin McRae: Dirt’ at No2 and highest new-entry ‘Flatout: Ultimate Carnage’ at No3. The final new entry within the Top 40 All Formats Chart is from 505 Games with ‘Armored Core 4’ at No39 (PS3/360).

EA’s ‘Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix’ is top of the class this week, heading a roster of 4 new games in the Top 5 of the All Formats Chart.

 

EA recorded 16 All Formats No1s in the first half of last year, but in 2007 has to settle for only 5. Last week’s No1 ‘Forza Motorsport 2’ from Microsoft takes a spin, down to No6, but the Xbox 360 format enjoys a strong week thanks to the successful launch of Take 2’s new I.P ‘The Darkness’ at No2 in the All Formats Chart (No1 in the Xbox 360 Full Price Chart). There are in fact 6 new games in the Xbox 360 Full Price Top 10 out of which Codemasters’ ‘Overlord’ and Midway’s ‘Hour of Victory’ break into the All Format Top 40 at No’s 13 and 23 respectively. Activision’s multi-format ‘Shrek the Third’ appropriately takes up the No3 position, up from a launch week No13 – selling only 11 units less than current Xbox 360 exclusive ‘The Darkness’. ‘Resident Evil 4’ also lives up to its title, re-entering the Top 40 at No4 thanks to the launch of the Wii edition, while ‘More Brain Training from Dr Kawashima’ debuts at No5, finally pushing its older namesake out of the Top 10, down from No8 to No12.

 

The PS3 version of Ubisoft’s ‘Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas’ is a new entry at the Top of the PS3 chart, while it re-enters the All Formats Top 40 at No7. There are now 4 film licenses in the All Formats Top 10 thanks not only to ‘Harry Potter’ at No1 and ‘Shrek the Third’ at No3, but Disney’s ‘Pirates of the Carribbean: At World’s End’ down from No4 to No8 and Take 2’s ‘Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer’ down from No2 to No9. The Top 10 is rounded off by ‘Wii Play’ which falls from No5 to No10. The release of an Xbox 360 version of ‘Call of Juarez’ from Ubisoft shoots it into the All Formats Top 40 for the first time, at No26, while Microsoft’s ‘Tenchu Z’, debuting at No31, makes it 7 new games in the All Formats Top 40 this week.

The new Harry Potter film is not due for release in cinemas until July 12th, but the video game ‘Harry Potter & The Order Of The Phoenix’ is already in its second week at the top of the All Formats Chart, magically holding on to No1 with a 29% rise in sales, despite competition from Nintendo’s ‘More Brain Training from Dr. Kawashima’ which gets its sums right with help from Nicole Kidman, up 3 places from No5 to No2.

 

In reaching No2 in the All Formats Chart ‘More Brain Training from Dr. Kawashima’ goes one better than its elder brother whose highest All Formats Chart position was No3 (in its third week of release - week 25 2006). Activision reign over the No3 position for a second week with ‘Shrek the Third’ boosted by strong sales of the PS2 version (knocking Potter off top spot in the PS2 Full Price chart). ‘The Darkness’ slips from No2 to No4, but should bounce back at the end of the month when Take 2 release the PS3 version. Capcom’s ‘Resident Evil 4’ falls one place to No5, while ‘Wii Play’ jumps up the chart from No10 to No6. ‘Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas’ is a non-mover at No7, while ‘Forza Motorsport’ slips 2 places to No8. There are now 8 different publishers represented in the All Formats Top 10 with Nintendo the only company with more than one Top 10 game thanks to ‘More Brain Training’, ‘Wii Play’ and the reappearance of the original ‘Dr Kawashima’ in the Top 10, up from No12 to No10.

 

The only new entry in the All Formats Top 40 is the PS3 ‘Ninja Gaiden: Sigma’ from Eidos at No19 (No2 in the PS3 Chart behind ‘Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas’), one place behind the UK publisher’s ‘Tomb Raider: Anniversary’, which falls one place to No18.

With the latest Harry Potter film now on general release, no surprise then that EA’s ‘Harry Potter & The Order Of The Phoenix’ weaves its spell with a third consecutive week at No1, although sales are down 11% over last week.

 

Nintendo’s DS ‘More Brain Training from Dr. Kawashima’ (-17%) remains at No2 with Activision holding at No3 for a third week in a row with ‘Shrek The Third’, although sales have dropped 28% from last week’s high point. Nintendo climb 2 places to No4 with ‘Wii Play’, ever the barometer of healthy Wii hardware sales thanks to the inclusion of an essential purchase for Wii gamers - an extra Wii Remote. Nintendo debut at No5 with Wii ‘Mario Party 8’ although with a product recall in progress, it remains to be seen what happens next week to sales and chart position. The only other ‘new’ entry actually debuted the week before, but Midway now break in to the Top 40 with their second DS title (after ‘Happy Feet’ last year) – ‘Touchmaster’ the mini-game puzzler is at No29.

Potter mania continues to gather steam with Harry Potter the film on general release as of 2 weeks ago, joined this week by the Friday 20th July midnight launch of the 7th and final Harry Potter book.

 

No surprise then that EA’s cinema tie-in ‘Harry Potter & The Order Of The Phoenix’ takes a fourth straight week at No1. Activision’s multi-format ‘Transformers’ debuts strongly at No2 (although snatches No1 on PS2 and 360 Full Price Charts) - with the movie due for release on Friday 27th July all eyes will be on next week’s chart to see if it can topple the mighty Potter. Nintendo ‘brain mania’ is also affecting the charts this week with no less than 3 brain titles in the Top 10 – Nintendo’s recent DS follow-up ‘More Brain Training From Dr Kawashima’ is at No3, new entry at No4 on Wii is ‘Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree’ and the original DS ‘Dr Kawashima’ is at No8. At No6 is Activision’s ‘Shrek The Third’ joined this week by a PSP version and at No7 is Take 2’s ‘The Darkness’, joined this week by a PS3 version which claims No1 on the PS3 chart. Nintendo’s ‘Mario Party 8’ on Wii drops from No5 to No30 as retail awaits new stock of this product.

Note: This times the charts I posted are more likely to contain errors because the DS exclusive charts were down... and I'm only human.

 

Or am I?

Sorry completely forgot to update. It was a strong week for Nintendo though. They claim the Top10 with 6 exclusives.

 

TOP 40 ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE (ALL PRICES), WEEK ENDING 28 July 2007

 

Potter-mania is replaced by Poke-mania as Nintendo’s hugely successful franchise debuts with DS games ‘Pokemon Diamond’ at No1 and ‘Pokemon Pearl’ at No3. ‘Pokemon Diamond’ becomes the fastest selling DS game as well as the 2nd fastest selling Pokemon game, behind ‘Pokemon Yellow’ on Gameboy Colour which was released over 7 years ago.

 

Activision’s multi-format ‘Transformers: The Game’ almost spoils Nintendo’s party with the launch of the film helping boost sales by 76%, but failing to catch ‘Pokemon Diamond’ at the top by only 217 units. ‘Transformers: The Game’ remains at No2 in the All Formats Chart and holds on to top spot in the PS2 and Xbox 360 Charts with the PSP version climbing to No1 this week. ‘Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix’ falls from No1 to No4 as sales level out. There are now 4 DS exclusives and 2 Wii exclusives in the All Formats Top 10 (all published by Nintendo) with the remaining 4 Top 10 titles all released across a large number of formats (from publishers Activision and EA). ‘Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree’ proves that brain training is not just a DS phenomenon by increasing sales by 44% on its launch week, but falling one place to No5, while ‘Wii Play’ drops 2 places to No7 despite a rise in sales of 22%. Both brain training DS games continue to sell well despite ‘More Brain Training’ slipping 3 places to No6 and the original dropping one place to No9.

 

The All Formats Top 10 is rounded off by ‘Shrek the Third’ at No8 and ‘Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07’ at No10, while there are new entries for ‘Rugby 08’ from EA at No22 and Activision’s DS game ‘Transformers: The Game – Autobot’ at No38.

TOP 40 ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE (ALL PRICES), WEEK ENDING 4 August 2007

 

This week Nintendo almost absolutely owns the Top10. Except for Transformers on number 1 and Harry Potter on 4, it's filled with Wii and DS exclusive titles - most of them with the word Brain in the title.

 

 

 

After losing out to Pokemon last week by a tiny margin, Activision’s film tie-in ‘Transformers: The Game’ takes control of top spot in the All Formats Top 40, despite a 10% drop in sales.

 

Pokemon Diamond’s lustre diminishes with a drop in sales of 20%, having to settle for No2, while sister-title ‘Pokemon Pearl’ manages to hold on to No3. Nintendo again dominates the All Formats Top 10, improving on last week’s 6 games with 7 thanks to the re-launch of ‘Mario Party 8’ at No9. There are now an incredible 8 games in the All Formats Top 10 that are exclusive to Nintendo’s DS and Wii formats thanks to Cooking Mama’s healthy appetite for the Top 10 (up one place to No10). ‘Resident Evil 4’ re-enters the Top 40 at No26 thanks to strong sales of the Wii version, while Sony’s ‘Singstar ‘90s’ is this week’s only Top 40 new entry at No32.

Transformers can change into anything, but this week there is no change for them at the top of the All Formats Chart as ‘Transformers: The Game’ from Activision holds on for a second week.

 

Both Pokemon games drop 40% in sales, but ‘Pokemon Diamond’ still shines brightest as No2, while ‘Pokemon Pearl’ slips 4 places from No3 to No7. There are still 8 games which are exclusive to Nintendo formats (DS and Wii) in the All Formats Top 10, although ‘Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree’ is expelled from the Top 10, down from No7 to No16, while ‘New Super Mario Bros.’ climbs 2 places, re-entering the Top 10 at No10. ‘Mario Party 8’ is the highest All Formats Top 10 climber, up 4 places to No5 as the Italian plumber notches up 3 Top 40 games (2 of which are in the Top 10). Nintendo’s dominance is further enhanced by this week’s only All Formats Top 40 new entry, ‘Trauma Center: Second Opinion’ on Wii, while Ubisoft’s ‘Surf’s Up’ has a successful 2nd week thanks to the launch of the film, entering the Top 40 for the first time at No11.

Why on Earth does the 'first' Pokemon game always sell better? xD

[Dannyboy-the-Dane]

Why on Earth does the 'first' Pokemon game always sell better? xD

Because the first of anything is often associated with something good. There's some deeper psychological explanation, but on our level: "First is best".

plus dimond sounds better than pearl
