Heeeeyyyyy, it's new British sales data. What do we have this (well, last) week? Seems we have more traditional gamers winning a little ground back on Dr. Kawashima's henchmen, with the inroads made by games like Condemned 2 and Viking: Battle for Asgard so great that Mario & Sonic At The Olympics on DS was nearly pushed out of the top 10 altogether. Onwards and upwards, fight them on the beaches, etc etc!
1) GT5 Prologue
2) Mario & Sonic At The Olympics (Wii)
3) Pro Evo 2008 (Wii)
4) Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (360)
5) Wii Play
6) Brain Training
7) Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (PS3)
8) Condemned 2 (360)
9) Viking: Battle for Asgard (360)
10) Mario & Sonic At The Olympics (DS)

GT5P had a drop of 40% in sales and it is still No.1... WOW.
never been a GT fan, but i just want to buy it for the graphics...and also because all the brits are buying it ! r0xx0rz
This almost looks like what it should look like. Keep fighting, Britain!
Even bigger wow is when you consider how few PS3's are actually in the uk compared to wii's and xbox 360's
Get rid of Mario and Sonic and Brain training.... real games :O
How the hell did that viking game sell so many, has it been cheap in asda or something?
@ dsmx
This is last weeks sales only....there werent any "big" games released on Wii or 360 last week
Corriect me if im wrong of course (i usually am...)
@Hotstepper: Sega is huge on marketing in EU. Unlike the US, Sega has been doing great in Europe with its titles, and it's pumping lot of money in marketing the hell out of their games.
Woot, i knew pro evolution was good but i never thought it would sell good.
I really enjoyed the Viking game, it was £34.99 at mostplaces. In real world terms, it was well, rubbish, repetetive, stupid, had vague mission breifings, buggy and slightly unfinished. However overall, I really enjoyed it!
Good photo. The best view of Watford is always when you're leaving it.
@yarmy: Agreed wholeheartedly.
Have you noticed how even when it's blatantly obvious where the picture is from, someone always says "is that [somewhere stupid]?"?
I mean, this week it's clearly Basingstoke but Mr_Fujisawa thinks it's Watford. What a twat!
@Garo: And remember that GT5P is sold online as well directly on PSN. So there is obviously more sales coming from direct purchasers as well. It's sad how well prologue is selling..... I'm not a GT fan so I don't get it but I would buy a MGS Prologue so yea...
Why are people surprised that the most hotly anticipated title on the ps3 manages to out-sell a hum-drum week on every other platform?
But hey, my fiancee contributed to condemned2, and i'm so glad she did..
I'm glad to see Pro Evo selling well..
I hate you Wii Play. You're screwing everything up.
Mario Kart Wii will change this chart within 2 weeks.
That's my local Tube. :(
Meh, predictable :(
Seriously, what is Mario and Sonic still doing there?
@Mr_Fujisawa: Yup it could've been much much more - but boy was it FUN! and lots of it.
@yarmy: gtfa. Plus this picture is pre-refurb.
@Collins1: That is Watford, I live 15-20 minutes from that Underground Station! Fucking hate that station in the morning!
@JonC: Hello fellow Watford Resident LOL!
Good to see Mario and Sonic not first!
Good grief! Mario & Sonic at the Olympics again! Otherwise, looks pretty good. I really ought to give Condemned 2 a go.
DANCE THEM TO THE CLIFFS.
'Cause we have more cliffs than beaches.
Coming Soon - British Sales Charts: Rock Band Edition
@brooza: At the price they announced rock band, unlikely
@Kyle81:
So why exactly is it sad that Prologue is selling well? >_>
@JonC: boy, i feel sorry for you that place is a dump i find it reminds me of Luton and thats an even bigger dump
@dsmx:
UK will choose PS3 this year, x360 only survive beacause of US.
I am really glad that PES2008 has been selling well in the UK and am also glad Nintendo have decided to push it with their adverts and that excellent mini-site they made.
This will bode well for the next edition coming to Wii.
I am so glad that PES2008 has sold well on Wii and it was good Nintendo decided to push it with a (good) advert and a mini-site for it.
Will bode well for a sequel then on Wii.
@Collins1: Is that a [screenshot of Hellgate:London]?.
Mario & Sonic IS a real game.
Seriously, the bashing is getting real old.
@Collins1: OI! I didn't say anything about the photo! :p
@nodirt: ps3 will never take u.s from 360 this gen.
Europe sure loves their casual and demos
@dsmx:
The PS3 is doing ok in the UK I think you'll find.
@JoDark117: it seems to be catching up quite nicely each month. PS3 sales go gradually up, 360 sales gradually going down, I wouldn't put it past the PS3. We have not even had one of the BIG franchises for Sony hit yet. Where as the 360 has had a good number of its big hitters already.
@Komrade_Kayce: I love you :) Not for any reason other than just because I'm sleepy *hug* ... and also because you're hot <3
meh nether console will really win until this generation is over. The xbox sales are slowing down because I believe but don't quote me that 20 million have been sold. The ps3 is getting a little momentum but I doubt it will really pick up enough to beat the 360 in total sales considering this generation only has 2-3 more years left.

The PS2 had nigh on 7 years of good life in it being launched in 1999. So i wouldn't be surprised if this gen had another 5 years left in it at least. Not being mean to nintendo, <3. But there time may befall the other two for mere fact of graphical output not falling in line with what modern gamers expect from a console, then muiltiply that by moving the distance in graphical ouput on 5 years and you've got a reason for them to release hardware sooner than the rest of them (though please god let it be nothing like that "quality" bit of hardware, the Mega CD).@
