RETAIL CHARTS
[RETAIL ANALYSIS] by Billy Langsworthy IT’S finally here.
Marking the ‘birth of the next generation’, NINTENDO’s Wii
U landed in shelves this week with three titles making it into the top 20 of this week’s Top 40 UK Retail Charts.
The highest placed Wii U- exclusive title was Nintendo Land, which made it to No. 11 thanks to being bundled with the console. Meanwhile, New Super Mario Bros Ureached No. 14.
UBISOFT’s Assassin’s Creed III arrived on Wii U too, with sales of all formats dropping just one place into fifth. Its Just Dance 4 also was a launch title on the new console and moved up a place into sixth.
In total, there were five Wii U SKUs within the Top 10 and 10 Wii U titles inside of the Top 40.
ACTIVISION’s Call of Duty: Black Ops IIheld onto the top spot for a third week in a row with its Wii U iteration also launching this week.
Black Ops IIcontinuing to dominate the charts means UBISOFT’s new release Far Cry 3had to settle for second place, but it is still the ninth biggest launch of the year so far.
EA’s FIFA 13retained the No.3 spot for a fourth week in a row, and with its release on the Wii U the game now graces nine different platforms for the first time since 1993’s FIFA International Soccer.
Elsewhere, the drop of THQ’s UDraw Studio: Instant Artist proves the power of a price promotion. The title, which made No.13 last week as a result of Amazon’s Black Friday deal, fell to No.34 as the promotion ended.
