well,Dragon Age has only been out for like 4 days here in the UK,came out Friday,as i am sure this chart reflects
from up to yesterday and not todays sales :)
EDIT:never mind i just saw the week ending November 7th bold print..so Dragon Age there is from one days worth of sale
I noticed that you haven't been doing the British sales charts since Luke went off and got married, so for anyone who's interested: [www.chart-track.co.uk]
The thing that stands out to me is that Bowser's Inside Story has dropped off completely after one week. Nintendo of Europe only has themselves to blame, the game hasn't really had any marketing and apparently has been quite hard to find in some retailers. Its sales in Japan and America show that the game has a huge potential to sell, but hasn't in Britain because of NOE's poor promotion, which is ridiculous.
@electroshockwave: Wow, I can't believe I've not noticed this being gone. Brutal Legend had a pretty disappointing debut, guess we're not particularly metal over here (at least not us PS3 owners, 360 users are picking up the slack).
Bowser's Inside Story not selling I almost take as a personal failing, because I've not been able to find the time to pick it up. I'm really interested in seeing UC2's legs, that is a game that deserves stellar sales.
I hope the return of PS3 GTA4 to the charts isn't due to the imminent DLC coming out for the 360, cos those poor bastards are gonna be pretty disappointed... #talkamongstyourselves
Left 4 Dead will be 4th or 5th next week with its current sale and Crash Course update.
For those that do pick it up come join us on Thursday for some L4D action with the Kotakuites; [steamcommunity.com]
Also I'm nearly finished on Defence Grid (well story mode at least) which I picked up on the D2D 5 year sale, pretty good game, £5 well spent. Been some good deals with that ( which I guess is what resulted in Bioshock, AC n NWN appearing in the D2D chart)
It's crazy how MMO players will pay so much more just for bonus items in a game. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to redeem my Zhvera Mount from the Recruit-a-Friend program and get my Murkey pet for buying BlizzCon on DirecTV.
@KillerBee: No. TOR Won't surpass WoW unless something batshit insane happens to it like it's free. I truly don't think anything will kill WoW because as soon as it does Blizzard will release a massively updated version of it.
Also, plenty of Korean games have a larger user base then WoW.
@KillerBee: If Old Republic plays it's card right it could bite a fair chunk out of WoW.
It has the Lore, it has recognition, it has a good studio behind it, it seems to have casual and hardcore appeal. So it's basics are down.
As long as they don't do something stupid (I'm thinking the ability for group members to effect quests, and thus your storyline might be one) then they should be set to eat people.
@deanbmmv: Lord of the Rings Online had lore, too, and that couldn't dent WoW. The challenge in trying to take on WoW is that it's got 5 years of extra development time on everyone else. Aion might be as good as WoW was when it launched, but there's no comparison between them now, and the more time passes the more other devs have to catch up.
@Defeater: I had the 6 month subscription to Champions Online when the open beta started. I was so disappointed with the game that I spent 4 hours on email and over the phone getting a refund on my 6 month sub. It is such a bad game. It needed AT LEAST another year in development and beta before it should have been released. It had such amazing potential, too.

I'm so glad those Jedi Knight games are getting attention on Steam.
I bought Jedi Outcast just last night. I remember watching my older cousin play that game all the time, and I remember it having the most realistic graphics I'd ever seen.
I've only played about an hour into it on the second hardest difficulty. I can't wait to get those force powers!

Though it's 6 first party out of 10 games for Sony on the Playstations, but only 2 / 15 for the X360.
Zero PSP games in the Top 40: Re-Ouch! Maybe PSP users all buy their games online now... but somehow I doubt that. #britain

give them some time to see everything and get the story bits first. Not a game in the world people will play forever anyway.

I think The Old Republic may be the one.....or Blizzard's next MMO.
