Australian Sales Charts, Week Ending 02/10/05

PALGN News | Has there ever been this much ACTION and EXCITEMENT in the charts before!?

Well yes, there has. What a rather misleading title. Anyway, AFL Premiership 2005 has, unsurprisingly, retained the #1 position this week - whether it will last any longer is questionable though, considering the fact the season is over. Oh, and that the game is terrible. #2 and #3 saw the rise of the Nintendogs, with Dachschund at #2 and Lab and Friends at #3. As a result of the puppy power, the latest Sims 2 expansion, Nightlife, was buried at a still solid #4 placing. The least appealing of the Nintendogs, Chihuahua was at #5.

Following that at #6 was the PS2 version of newest cricket game on the scene, Ricky Ponting Cricket 2005. This caused Pokemon Emerald to continue its descent, slipping into #7 this week. FIFA 2006 proves the brand's selling power, with a solid #8 debut. At #9 was the Xbox version of Ricky Ponting Cricket 2005, while bringing up the tail is Need for Speed: Underground Rvials for the PSP.

The charts are updated weekly and are provided by GfK.

PS2 (over $50)

GameCube (over $50)

Xbox (over $50)

Why is NFS beating Burnout on the PSP?

Why is NFS beating Burnout on the PSP?

Because, NFS is more popular then Burnout. Why? because the world isn't as it should be.

Looking at some of those charts, I'd say things are in somewhat sorry state. Nothing but Pokemon in the GBA, virtually nothing but Sims in the PC and just too many games running off their names rather than quality (not that some aren't quality titles), NFS being one of them

At least Cricket 2005 is starting to get bumped out...

Two words would answer the question of Burnout vs NFS. Car modification.

Well okay, Street Racing may be another term that could sum it up. Let me elaborate here. Due to certain movies, certain hyped things that shouldn't be hyped so much and whatever, the street racing/ricers scene is way more extensive than the destruction derby scene is. Even before the mainstream hype, it was still the case. Until destruction derby events become more popular which I doubt they will, Need for Speed will always win despite the fact that Burnout is the king of the Arcade Racing genre.

Fugie!

I've played Burout and NFS, Burnout is superior. It handles like a real racing game, the element of speed makes NFS look like a pony ride and all NFS is nowewrdays is eyecnady.

and who is to blame for all of this? EA. hey are the only compnay in the world who can totaly destory a franchise, mess around with the best bits of it and then they can flog it off as being "better". The worst bit is that they can get away with it.
I'm going to see what EA an do with Most Wanted before I say anything more.
