The new charts have been updated on VGChartz for the week of September 9 - September 15. Hardware sales are showing some very interesting things as Wii hardware figures drop 20% to well over 90k and Playstation 3 even drops an amazing 40% to just over 30k. This compared to Xbox 360 figures which increase by almost 20% selling nearly 90k, almost as much as the Wii.
Heavenly Sword did not impress in first week sales, with not even 80k copies. Bioshock and Metroid Prime still doing amazing with another 90k and 70k this week respectively. EA's SKATE debuted this week with just over 50k as the NHL 08 and NHL 2K8 games fail to impress. Full numbers after the jump

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.
Things are heating up in May a bit with Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the Paper Mario TTYD remake, and a ton of promising indies. We pick the most interesting May games, from AAA to indie, so you can make sense of everything coming out.
Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.
Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.

A Halo effect as expected.
X360 outselling PS3 3-to-1 this week and almost nearing Wii level. Heavenly Sword did not do well in its first week, and caused a PS3 hardware decrease. Also, PSP sales up 'only' 20% with PSP Slim release. Not good news for Sony. Halo 3 2 million first week?
LMFAo vg numbers are a joke you fools, every time NDp comes out thsoe idiots have to "update" their numbers.
they are typicly 30% off.
You have to know that if anything 360 is kicking some major ass the price drop proved too strong and Halo 3 is helping in a major way only to pass the torch to the other huge titles that won't stop comming untill some where in the middle of next year. This is considering Halo3 will stop selling software and hardware before the other AAA's come(it won't).
