UK charts: Zumba takes top spot, Child of Eden misses top 20

make sense,i asked some of my friends they don’t even know this game released

who the fuck is buying zumba all this damn time?

Ouch, poor old Child of Eden. Look at Zelda go, though!

i thought Child Of Eden may get into the top 10 at least, how wrong i was.

It is a very very very niche’ game though, it’s even very difficult to describe to friends.

I refused to report UK charts about 4 months ago, when Zumba first entered the top ten.

I think I won’t report it again before this piece of software (?) exits the charts for good.

I don’t really understand why people get so cross at Zumba. It’s not like it’s traditional gamers buying it instead of ‘proper’ games, there’s a whole bunch of people who bought a Wii just for the lifestyle and keep-fit stuff so there’s little wonder that it sells fairly consistently.

The only thing this really shows is that sales of gamer games are pretty low at the moment, which is probably not so surprising given the time of year.

I might dust off my Wii and get a copy. It must be amazing.

You could video yourself doing it for the Bulletcast.

gutting to hear bout child of eden but it aint too surprising =s
it always should have been an xbla title =(

It’s probably too ‘big’ to be an XBLA game, there’s still a “2gb maximum” cut-off.

well i just hope ubi didnt have too high hopes for this and the budget will match accordingly so this can make some money. Its not my kind of game but i guess we need more unique experiences nowadays

You really don’t want to see my belly jumping up and down.

The reason CoE didn’t sell, is because no fucker knew it was coming out!

I thought it was out NEXT month.

actualy thats the sole reason everyone wants the videocast to be continued.
go figure

@5 Don’t install the software community! That thing makes games and software programs look like shi*t.

wow ! DNF must be a huge disaster.
and where is alice ? red faction ?

fifa still in the top 10 , looks like the online pass wasnt a bad idea afterall

even hunted didnt make it

it must be good for infamous 2 to be in the top 10 considering that it’s a decent yet not so popular game

@15 I think your “install” would mean “insult”.
Well, for this reason I’ve put it between quotes.

No wait, I didn’t put it in quotes… You’re right then. My bad.

Zumba is filth. Outrageous, how dare they have fun with that softcore stuff?

Infamous 2 deserves more.

Told you all the lack of marketing from Ubisoft was going to hurt Child of Eden. Such a shame.

All the people who play Zumba are brainwashed casual disbelievers. Fact.

#20 The 50$ price tag for five short levels hurts the game even more. XBLA has loads of games with way more content, costing 800 or 1200MSP.

@22 I don’t think cost was really a factor. The 60$ price tag didn’t dampen the sales of DNF – a game most agree is not worth the full RRP – now did it?

Poor Child of Eden…its been getting good reviews just has a questionable length…I’m still wondering how Brink is so high on the charts, I guess shooters always sell well even if they are not the best shooters out there, but I guess it is the best new shooter on the market…I guess its also only 62 million or so people in the UK…New York alone has a third of that population…so I wonder how much actual units each game is selling, out of curiosity

If you can’t play a game doesn’t automatically mean it sucks.

Hooray for casual dancing games! The savior of our charts…
