Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) It's not selling well and that's the end of it, it doesn't really matter how you look at the charts. Fact is if a game is selling "well" it breaks into the top 40 all console for more than one week in the 30's. Hardcore gamers have mostly abandoned the Wii it seems, it's as simple as that. Surprisingly it doesn't seem to matter how big the install base gets for either the Wii or DS anywhere in the world, only the casual titles and Nintendo titles are true successes, or the very RARE third party title in a big series. EDIT: Wow, 12,000 approximately across Europe? Well if that's true, that's it then, the end of good third party hardcore content on Wii in the future. You can expect The Conduit to be the last chance and if Madworld is anything to go by, it'll sell like shit too. Arguably even less people give a shit about The Conduit than with Madworld.

Yeah i hate to admit it but it's too late now. Maybe a game like Madworld coming out nearer the Wii's launch would have pulled a few surprises but yeah, no chance now.

Posted March 30, 2009 I think people are giving VG Chartz far too much credit' date=' they're terribly inaccurate.[/quote'] I remember they were being slated when giving early Wii figures, and I don't know whether or not it's much better now. Hmm, they're not great sales, at all. How much were Sega hoping to shift with it, though? I think this game could have a dose of "lazy" gamer syndrome. People will rant for months and months about how much they want it, how awesome it looks, but when it comes to picking it up, very few can be bothered. Also known as "lazy voter" syndrome. "I won't vote because one vote doesn't make a difference." "I won't vote because someone else will do it for me." Bluddy student loan can't come soon enough. I'm also a bit intrigued as to why there haven't been a great number of people posting about the game in the Madworld thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't actually done a proper check of them for ages now, based on the quoted Madworld figures here, and I presume they are the ones quoting 1 million for Call of Duty I'd say they are still miles away from being anywhere near usable. I still haven't opened my copy which is why I haven't posted in the thread yet, don't want to risk any spoilers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) What I don't get is the top games in the Wii charts don't correspond to the individual/all format charts. Say in the charts the top five games sold that week were a,b,c,d and e, wouldn't they need to be in that order in the ind/all format? A sold more than b, b more than c etc, yet there's f,g,h ahead of them in the ind/all format, but the sold less according to the Wii charts so they should be worse than a,b,c,d and e if you get me. I know what you mean, it stumped me too. I think it's to do with budget releases. It's because budget titles aren't included in the Wii chart, but are included in the Individual formats chart.... I think that's what you mean anyway. On a more general note: correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't titles like MadWorld and Overkill selling more on Wii than the cream of 'hardcore' titles did on Gamecube? I can't really think of many third party exclusive core games on Gamecube, but I do know I survived well enough without owning another console and without feeling any droughts. So I don't see why people are seeing this as being the end. There'll always be core titles on Nintendo consoles, even if they are just driven by developer passion.

Eternal Darkness, Splinter Cell series... umm what else?... Anyways, I always got the impression these more adult games sold pretty well on GC. Mostly established franchises. Resident Evil is doing better on Wii than it did on GCN. Eternal Darkness had Nintendo backing obviously, but it was never really a blockbuster was it? Splinter Cell can't have been great on Cube - they pretty much abused the GCN version of Double Agent to the point where one would be forgiven for thinking it'd been canned. Starcraft Ghost too - it's obvious why the Cube version was the first to get the chop. Point it, if MadWorld sells no more than 200,000 units, I'm pretty sure that's more than it would have done on Gamecube, and everyone seems to have nothing but fond memories of Gamecube; conveniently whenever they happen to be decrying Wii.

Posted March 30, 2009 Is Madworld actually being advertised on TV, cos I certainly haven't seen one!

Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) Over the past 6 weeks we have had 4 different No1’s (‘Streetfighter IV’, ‘Killzone 2’, ‘Empire: Total War’ and for the last 3 weeks, ‘Resident Evil 5’). However, Nintendo’s breather after strenuous exercise is over and ‘Wii Fit’ (+1%) is back on top in the run-up to the Easter break, equalling Nintendo’s own longest serving All Formats No1 record way back in 2000 with ‘Pokemon Yellow’ and 10 weeks at the top. Capcom’s ‘Resident Evil 5’ drops to No2 (-38%) and EA climb 3 places to No3 with ‘FIFA 09’ (+3%). Midway/Ubisoft climb 7 places over the debut weekend for ‘Wheelman’ up to No4 (+41%) and Activision Blizzard also do nicely, up 2 places to No5 with Q408’s 2nd biggest game ‘Call of Duty: World at War’ (+1%). Capcom’s ‘Streetfighter IV’ slides 3 places to No6 (-11%), as do Nintendo with ‘Professor Layton and the Curious Village’ at No7 (-13%). There’s impressive longevity shown in the next 2 Top 10 titles – at No8 is Activision Blizzard’s Q407 ‘Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare’ with 66 weeks on this chart (+12%) and at No9 is Sega’s Q407 ‘Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games’ with 69 weeks on chart (+39%). Rockstar/Take 2 bring up No10 with ‘GTA: Chinatown Wars’ for DS (-6%). The only new entries this week are Warner’s ‘Wanted: Weapons of Fate’ debuting at No15 on 360/PS3/PC and Blade Interactive’s ‘WSC Real 09: World Snooker Championship’ in at No39, also 360/PS3/PC.

The handheld even eclipsed the debut sales numbers of the original DS. In unit terms, it outsold all other consoles combined over the weekend – including PS3, PSP and Xbox 360. “It’s a very impressive opening couple of days considering the lack of launch software,” said GfK-ChartTrack’s Chris Poole. “It’s the fourth fastest-selling console in UK history in terms of opening weekend – one ahead of the original DS in fifth and way ahead of DS Lite. "It's difficult to tell if the momentum will continue into the week, as much of the sales would have been pre-ordered. There was also a slight spike in DS software."

The company said it was in ‘active discussions’ with a number of leading providers of downloadable digital content with a view to inking a deal over the next few months. MCV understands that the body is currently in negotiations with Steam, IGN/Direct2Drive, GDi, Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony with a view to gathering data on UK downloads. GfK-ChartTrack director Dorian Bloch told MCV: “We’re talking to all digital download retailers with a view to getting their data. A lot of publishers see it as ever more important to have those digital sales tracked, alongside retail boxed model. “It’s down to negotiations now. Some companies in the space want it more than others – some are worried about releasing data that clarifies their whole position in the market. “I would hope that it will happen before the year end.” GfK-ChartTrack is having more luck negotiating with potential partners in the UK than the US – where many of the major download retailers are based. “We have the goodwill of our local publishing publishing community, but across the Atlantic there’s a whole set of other people we have to get on board,” he said. “But we met a lot of people at GDC last month – and we expect to meet a lot more at the Develop Conference and even at E3.” GfK-ChartTrack this month began releasing its weekly All Formats chart on a Monday morning. The firm previously made the data publicly available on a Tuesday afternoon. “We already had the fastest video games chart in the world – but we wanted to make it available for publishers’ Monday morning meetings,” added Bloch.

Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) Positions 4 and now 11 for GTA:CW, surely it can't have sold that badly then! The sold badly talks where about the US sales. UK TOP 40 ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE - Week 16, 2009 Nintendo are looking healthy at the top of the All Formats Chart as ‘Wii Fit’ stays at No1 for a third consecutive week, totalling 12 weeks at No1 in all (8 of which have come in 2009). After Easter, sales of ‘Wii Fit’ are down by 30%, while ‘The Godfather II’ remains at No2, sales falling by 32%. EA will have to wait in the wings for another week in order to become the Don of the games charts, but old favourite ‘FIFA 09’ (-17%) ensures a strong presence at the top end of the Chart for the big American publisher, up 2 places to No3. The rest of the All Formats Top 10 shuffle places, ‘Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games’ (-35%) and ‘Resident Evil 5’ (-30%) are both down one place to No’s 4 and 5 respectively. Nintendo’s 3 other Top 10 titles all perform relatively well, each with only small drops in sales – ‘Professor Layton’ (-9%) is up one place to No6, ‘Mario Kart Wii’ (-1%) up 2 places to No7 and ‘Wii Play’ (-13%) is a non-mover at No8. Activision Blizzard still have a foothold in the Top 10 despite ‘Call of Duty: World at War’ (-23%) slipping from No6 to No9. With no new releases of any note out this week it gives consistent chart performer ‘Carnival: Funfair Games’ (-12%) the opportunity to sneak back into the Top 10, up from No16 to No10.

Posted April 27, 2009 No Little King Story Entered Wii chart at #12: highest new Wii entry. MadWorld slumped to 20 on Wii chart - not been disastrous for that game; certainly didn't disappear after one week. Overkill dropping just one to 9 on Wii chart this week - That game has really shown some impressive legs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 5, 2009 UK TOP 40 ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE - Week 18, 2009 Activision Blizzard fail to get their claws into Nintendo as ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ debuts at No2, behind ‘Wii Fit’ which holds on to No1 for a 5th consecutive week. Sales of ‘Wii Fit’ are only up by 115 units, but it still manages to outsell Wolverine by 1.7 to 1. However, Activision Blizzard do manage to launch ahead of a resurgent ‘FIFA 09’ (+28%), which moves up one place to No3. Activision’s film tie-in also sits at the top of the Xbox 360 and PS3 charts with 51% of sales on Xbox 360 and 39% on PS3 (the rest on PS2, PSP, Wii, DS and PC). Nintendo’s ‘Wii Play’ (+47%) and ‘Mario Kart Wii’ (+15%) both enjoy upturns in sales alongside an increase in sales of the Wii console. ‘Wii Play’ moves from No8 to No4, while ‘Mario Kart Wii’ is bumped up one place to No6. ‘Resident Evil 5’ (-2%) is proving to have a strong survival instinct, holding its own in the All Formats Top 10 for an 8th week while sticking at No5 for a 3rd consecutive week. Recent titles from Atari and EA both drop to the bottom half of the All Formats Top 10 with ‘The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena’ (-31%) slipping from No2 to No7 and EA’s ‘The Godfather II’ (-22%) sliding from No3 to No8. Sales of ‘Professor Layton’ are static, but it still finds itself dropping 3 places to No9, while ‘Call of Duty: World at War’ (+5%) is still fighting in the All Formats front line at No10, having never fallen out of the Top 10 since it was launched 25 weeks ago. There are jumps up the chart for ‘Street Fighter IV’ (+97%), up from No25 to No11 and ‘Halo Wars’ (+75%), a re-entry at No25 – both boosted by retailer promotions. The only other new All Formats Top 40 title other than ‘Wolverine’ this week comes from Sony – ‘Singstar Pop Edition’ on PS3 at No32.
