UK Gaming Charts = Broken - Mar 04, 2006 05:17

1 - BLACK ELECTRONIC ARTS
Ok, so it' s been out a week and looks rather good. I may pick it up at some point.


4 - SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS SONY COMPUTER ENT
Still hanging in there, selling better than ICO ever did. All pretty normal so far.


9 - CHICKEN LITTLE BUENA VISTA GAMES
What the... but it gets stranger


18 - RF ONLINE CODEMASTERS
Just thought I' d point this game out as it is cool


21 - SONIC HEROES SEGA
What on earth is a 2 year old game doing at number 21 in the charts when...


28 - SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG SEGA
...this game can' t even get that high after a few months...


31 - DEAD OR ALIVE 4 MICROSOFT
...and this game after bieng number 1 a few weeks ago ends up here?

All this and We Love Katamari is nowhere to be seen.

It' s all due to marketing. We may analyze the hell out of games before we buy, but it marketing departments at publishing houses push something, it' s gonna sell.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Woah, whats up with the quote text? On ' preview' it looked fine but now it looks all gray and massive.

Oh well, I' m still trying to figure out who is still buying Sonic Heroes, though I can understand it being liked more than the abomination that is Shadow.

Yes Katamari has been released over here. It came out a few weeks ago, but sadly EA decided to completely screw up the game' s release with it' s ' distribution problems' , meaning many places (big stores like GAME mind) only got one or two copies.

Basically EA probably didn' t care enough about the game to make enough copies for demand, which was much higher than expected. A missed oportunity if you ask me.
