I just bolded a few PS3 exclusives and games good games that the PS3 had at launch. Looks like the first 2 or 3 days were good with PS3 software in the UK.

Thoughts?

 

[djskribbles]

impressive is all have to say.

even genji cracked the top 20.

 

[London Geezer]

Gotta love the country where a cricket game makes the top 3 on the week of the PS3 launch...

 

[DJ12]

It is World Cup time.

 

[patsu]

Ok good... Resistance tops the chart. Gameplay still rules. I am a happy gamer.

 

[one]

Isn't NFS:Carbon on the PS3 at this time of year?

 

[crazygambit]

Isn't NFS:Carbon on the PS3 at this time of year?

I'd say the same about Fight Night 3. It's a shame the platform isn't listed with the games.

 

[Vic]

Gotta feel sorry for Sega with VF5. Has it sold well anywhere?

 

[PatrickL]

Any numbers? Resistance sold well but how much ? with 165K PS3 we can expect a high number but did not find any.

 

[Rolf N]

impressive is all have to say.

even genji cracked the top 20.

Strange thing it managed that even though it has a complete rubbish demo out where nothing interesting happens, wrapped in a total lack of challenge, and has flaky performance to boot.
"Look mom, I pressed this button twice and now it's over! How cool is that?!"

But what I really don't get is what kinds of people buy Ridge Racer 7. Nonsenical floaty boat sideways racing bollocks
(it has a demo out as well, and ogawd it blows)

Ridge Racer 7 has plenty of fans so you better not knock it

Ridge Racer 7 has plenty of fans so you better not knock it

I can somewhat relate to that, as it is nice to look at, but playing it for a while makes me hate it. it looks like a racer, but it isn't a racer. That's irritating. You don't even have to steer to follow the track. As long as you drift it's as if the track is a draft of water that sucks you forward while you twist around in ways inexplicable by physics or common sense.

I feel lied to. It looks like a racing game, but it actually plays like a (very basic) downhill snowboarding game or something. Find the rhythm, press the button at the right time to pull off a trick, balance yourself for the landing.

Or wait, "downhill hovercraft racing" fits it even better, but that genre doesn't actually exist, does it?

You maybe onto something here Rolf!

Quick somebody email the design lead at EA!!

I heard he was looking for a new direction for the SSX franchise!!!
