Well there must have been ridiculous demand to ship that much. I do know that in the UK amazon and shopto are out of stock of the game. Of course you can buy from the amazon marketplace (where prices are devious and odd). But it's available in online retailers like play and game.

@Jack Kevorkian There's an audience for TRON here in the UK, and a far more receptive audience than for certain films.
For instance Cloverfield didn't translate well for UK cinemas, most people didn't enjoy it as much. However there's nostalgia value, christmas and most people have heard enough. Not to mention Disney tries to keep increasing interest via its various outlets including getting cable and their channels to show the original movie again.

As for movie-game tie-ins most people are clueless. I mean they do avoid direct cash-ins but this is a complete absence from all charts for those games I mentioned which is quite frankly rare given that games like Naughty Bear did sell quite well here and the video nasty market (for splatterhouse) isn't quite dead yet.

Epic Mickey was at pos 39 in the indiv chart and didn't track in the combined.
BLOPS is roughly at 121somethingk this week and brotherhood close to 100k. I guess that sort of means NFS:HP didn't even hit 90ks most likely last week but might be a slow-burn (seems doubtful though thanks to sales unless it's price-dropped).

FIFA surged up thanks to a pricedrop at most stores and Art Academy thanks to an ad campaign. The rest well it's the holidays.

As for practically No shows - TRON Evolution and Majin.
Splatterhouse pretty much fares the same fate but when you see that it at the very least managed 37th place in the full price 360 charts means it had a tiny tiny moment.
But yeah these three titles tanked terribly. Epic Mickey didn't do well but did better than these 3 games that were multi-format.

This sounds like it might be a ROID game similar to Dope Wars except unfortunately it'll be a Japan only title.

@incognito016 Basing data on the individual formats as well. indiv chart's here --> http://www.chart-track.co.uk/index.jsp?c=p/software/uk/latest/index_test.jsp&ct=110032

@NotorietyH Don't think it's really sold that well to be honest.
the 85% decline just cut Black Ops from 1.4 million to 210k approx, which means brotherhood did roughly about 147.k
Use the ratios from Brotherhood and you'll find that based on the individual charts Just Dance 2 did below 79k and NFSHP did below that as well as Wii Sports Resort and Wii Party for individual platforms.

So it means it probably barely did a 100k combined. Considering the GT5 release upcoming, sales on titles, the holiday season and other things HP is doing pretty crummy. (considering titles like fable 3, crackdown 2 etc all did much better in their opening week)
It can only get worse from here.

@mywhitenoise The collector's edition has some sort of clear slip so when you remove that all those 'stickers' would come off and you'll just see the clear box with the zipper or so said Alex Pavey in one of the comments or in the article itself (can't remember which).

Based on this interview though it doesn't seem like they'd make another game on the Wii so that's out of the list (even though their last game for it was just a port).

Unless of course lots of money was just handed to them.

Still it seems like they'd keep their current engine so handhelds seem likely PSP2 and 3DS I guess and maybe the idevices.

I guess it's for other premium services. Possibly some sort of movie subscription's what I'm thinking more than gaming.

It's Chips, I wouldn't really call them much of an indie store as much as a store that really prices games pretty high even compared to other smaller non-chain retailer. Of course he'd say that because he's afraid for his business. Had it been another source it'd be at least a bit more credible.
