UK PS3/360 Charts: Week Ending 24th Oct
Charting the Uncharted for another week...Published 26/10/2009 at 10:58 by Gastos84
UK PS3/360 Charts: Week Ending 23rd Jan [20]
UK PS3/360 Charts: Week Ending 16th Jan [14]
UK PS3/360 Charts: Week Ending 9th January [10]
Last week we saw quite a shake up of the Playstation chart, XBox not so much, but what’s been happening this week? We have 4 new entries to the charts and one hell of a surprise!
UK PS3 Chart: Week Ending 24th October:
I’m Shocked, I really am. Uncharted 2 hasn’t managed a second week at the top; instead PES 2010 has dived into the number one slot. I would have bet my house on Uncharted 2 having at least 2 weeks in the limelight, so it’s a good job that I didn’t. Considering all of the opinions I have heard about PES have been less than complementary, this is a turn out for the books. Anyway, I can’t stay too upset, must remain calm! Elsewhere in the chart, WWE SvR 2010 is second highest new entry in at number 4 and if the bleeping bleep that is Royal Mail would sort themselves out, that is what I would be playing right about now! Borderlands also enters just outside the top 5. ‘Batman Watch’ – The Caped Crusader has now been in the Top 10 PS3 Chart for 5 weeks; but it is slowly dropping with it sitting at number 9.
UK 360 Chart: Week Ending 24th October:
This week on the XBox, Forza 3 races straight to pole position (you gotta love the puns) and judging by the reactions of those that have actually played the game, it deserves it. PES also takes to the 360 chart as the second highest new entry. It is interesting to see that PES 2010, despite its great position, is being favoured on the PS3. 66% of sales were on the Sony format, whilst 32% went to the XBox. Again, WWE SvR and Borderlands enter the charts. Interesting to see that the 360’s top 5 is almost entirely made up of new releases. Batman has slipped completely from the interest of XBoxer’s (I patent that term if it is not yet in use).

Damn. Uncharted II so quickly outdone, and then by PES10? Hope this is a minor blip.
Love the “actually played“-part under in the XBOX 360 paragraph!

You’d be surprised how many people wrote off my review after playing a one track 5 car demo. Or less. Awesome news for Turn 10, Forza 3’s a wicked game.

I wrote your review off because I don’t even own a X360 and haven’t even seen Forza in motion – much the same as everyone else who did then?

Forza III is the best racing game ever (IMO) simples. I didn’t even realise you could grab a picture from a replay and send it to a mate (as a gift)to gloat until this morning
Sure it looks nice, there are plenty of cars and tracks, but until you actually “play” the game you cannot get a “feel” for just how great the physics/gameplay is. Really, really impressed with this – I can say that ‘cos i have the FULL game

Bah! poppycock! I’ll make my opinions based on something I don’t own and haven’t even seen, thankyou.

Like it or not, a demo is still a perfectly legitimate manner of assessing a game’s worth.

While we live in a world where the likes of Whigfield can get to No.1 in the music charts, stuff like PES never surprises me. People are thick.

Wanted "Trophy Hunter" but was too late.

I doubt PES 2010 is on top next week, UC2 is properly back at number one. Good to see Borderlands made it top 10 on both charts, it looks to be a great game, the timing of it’s release might not just be the best

PES always sells well for a week or two and then FIFA returns to be top dog for the rest of the year, no surprises really.
The PS3 gaining 66% of PES2010’s market share comes as a bit of a surprise… or does it? because reportedly titles like Batman: AA, Resi 5, SFIV and many other third party titles sold proportionately more on the PS3 than the 360, is it because what people are actually playing on the 360 doesn’t really extend beyond Halo, CoD, Gears & L4D or is there something else at work.
Damn the lack of actual figures.

This week could quite easily be explained away by the release of Forza.

Pes2010 number 1? Christ, how could that of beat Uncharted 2? With all the advertising Sony have done for it and it still didn’t manage it? Best game I have ever played IMO.

It’s is purely opening week sales, I would expect sales to remain high this week and then tail off.
Uncharted2 is pretty much a must have game for the PS3, so I’d expect it to be in the top 10 or so for at least 6 months, which only FIFA from that 10 list will match.

Yeah, and what with Christmas looming down on us, Uncharted 2 will probably see a spike as, like you say, it is the must have game.

I bet nobody predicted that PES and Forza would be at the top of the PS3 and Xbox charts!

Could have predicted Forza3, but PES on top of the PS3 chart…
What is it with soccer games, am I the only one with absolutely no interest in them?
Nice to see Borderlands in there as Erroneus said, it is a great game and lots of fun playing co-op!

You’re not the only one who doesn’t like football games. The last football game I’ve played is Goal! on the Amiga…

Wow that is a bit of a shock but like everyone else i am sure Uncharted will get it’s #1 spot back next week and in my own opinion I just can’t stand PES games

Pro Evo beat Uncharted 2?
EA must be pleased with 6 out of 20 games in the top 10. They’ve been doing consistantly well and should be too as they publish brilliant games.

Borderlands has doesn’t as brilliantly in sales as I expected, but evidently still done good. I am glued to it at current and still really enjoying Fifa. Why are people actually buying PES this year? EA has one, get over it.
Hopefully Uncharted 2 will begin descending the game sale charts as this might warrant a significant drop in price, so i can finally play it!
