Today, Media-Control Gfk International has blessed gameindustry.biz with some interesting sales figures from both Spain and Germany. As it ends up, Super Smash Brothers Brawl for the Wii has extended its quest for world sales domination into both countries by taking the number one spot. The data below is for the week ending on June 22.
Spain
- Super Smash Bros Brawl (Wii)
- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3)
- Wii Play (Wii)
- Cooking Guide: Can’t Decide What to Eat? (DS)
- Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3)
- Top Spin 3 (PS3)
- Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core (PSP)
- Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit (PS3)
- Dr Kawashima's Brain Training (DS)
- The Sims 2 deluxe (PC)
Germany- Super Smash Bros Brawl (Wii)
- Mario Kart Wii (Wii)
- Battlefield Bad Company (PS3)
- The Sims 2: Ikea Home Stuff (PC)
- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3)
- Wii Play (Wii)
- Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core (PSP)
- Wii Fit (Wii)
- Dr Kawashima's Brain Training (DS)
- Mario Kart DS (DS)
If you take a close look at the data, it appears that Germans would much rather buy furniture in the Sims, than play
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Perhaps they plan on virtually sitting down while watching all of the cut-scenes in
MGS4?

MGS4 is much more guilty of cut-scene gluttony. The longest cut-scene in MGS is regularly outlasted by act openers in MGS4, with a fair share of cut-scenes mid act doing the same thing. The ratio has also spiked for MGS4, unless of course MGS3 has exorbitant usage of cut-scenes as well, I haven't played it yet.
No surprise there, we've been waiting so long for Smash Brothers Brawl to come out we would have killed our own mothers just to get it earlier
What did UK gamers do? Buy Smash in droves, THIS is why Nintendo fucks over the PAL market so badly, because no matter what asshole thing they do they will be rewarded with huge sales.
Why aren't fixing this...
Someone wanna give me insight here?
