CHART TRACK SALES FIGURES, WEEK ENDING APRIL 14 2007
This week, Chart Track has decided to officially say that last week’s top-selling PS3 game sold 6,899 copies in the UK.
That’s 6,899 copies of Motorstorm, the game most people would surely buy alongside the pointless console. Expect analysts to say this is a “TOTAL DISASTER”, as it is clearly a total disaster. And with Singstar the only half-decent PS3 exclusive coming this side of Christmas, it’s going to get worse.
Here’s a photo someone took of a PS3 at a car boot sale. It seems appropriate:
The enemy has suffered huge losses and is now in full retreat. We will be raising the orange/blue spiral victory flag above Sony’s ridiculously expensive Soho offices within weeks, when the struggling company axes more staff and relocates to a Portakabin in Swindon.

Never mind that, tell me where I can get a Wii.

Forget the PS3, how much for that Tyre Clock? It’d look great next to my baked-bean tin vase and toilet paper “painting”.

I don’t think he’s selling the PS3 in that pic, he’s just throwing it in for free if you buy the tyre clock.

Note how the toy car has been placed ON TOP of the PS3, as the former’s more likely to get sold.
And the toy car DOESN’T EVEN HAVE WHEELS.

here is a forum full of sony fanboys trying to deny their console is failing.
I especially like the fact that every member spells lying as lieing.

The tyre clock is £3 new, or £2 if you find it down the market.
How do I know? My grandmother brought me one for my birthday, and left the price sticker on.

Why lie when the truth is funnier?
Also regarding the whole Chart-Track hardware figures thingy.

Not to be picky but according to this they don’t track PSP, PS3, Wii or 360. So how could they know the sales figures?
That or they are just lazy and shit at updating stuff.
I’ll stop being pedantic now.

Look at that! It’s so big they can put a Subaru on top of it! I would pay that much so i could put it in the garden as a shed! Then again. A shed would be cheaper. And less of an eyesore

Haha! I do enjoy your comments, anonymous.

Wait, Singstar is a half-decent game?
Ewww

Anybody else notice that all the major chains have cut the price to 399.99? Hmm. HMV are also selling a 360 with 3 GOOD games for 289.99. I think this site has scared Argos too. I’ve been to 4 stores which previously had 40+ PS3s in stock and they all have only 12. All of them. 12. Coincidence?
April 17th, 2007 on 10:48 pm
So, any news on hardware sales for the last week?

Your chart track leak been plugged? Only I read something about them cracking down on whoever was releasing the PS3 sales figures.
April 17th, 2007 on 11:49 pm
Thats the “Double your money item” from Car Booty. Where the so called Car Booty expert picks an item that he reckons won’t sell and if it does he gives you the same amount as you sold if for back. Guess that means they only need to sell it for £213. Good Luck.

Look stuff all this PS3 shite, I have just come back off holiday and back to work so what about giving us more shots of that game playing bird in the schoolgirl uniform you showed about 6 months ago, I need cheering up, urgently!!

Yeah, can’t we have s’more Frag Dolls slating?
On the article – I think that’s a real Subaru, the PS3 is easily bigger.

Seems like ebuyer has stopped selling PS3’s to go back to the good old times of 1993 and start selling the Jaguar again…..

My god where they get new boxed Jaguars from, I was a mad man I bought one when they came out for Alien Vs Predator (what a game) I bet they sell quicker than a PS3 as well.
