Tiger Woods Hits Hole-in-One
10 years on since EA launched the first Tiger Woods game, ‘Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09’ scores a hole-in-one, becoming the first Tiger Woods game to debut at the top of the All Formats Chart.
The popular golf game also tees off with the biggest launch week for a Tiger Woods game, launching across 5 different formats (33% of sales on XB360, 32% PS3 and 28% on Wii with the remainder on PS2 and PSP). It is EA’s 5th All Formats No1 week so far this year and their first since ‘Army of Two’ back in week 10. ‘Mario Kart Wii’ and ‘Wii Fit’ both drop one place to No’s 2 and 3 respectively, but Nintendo still have 3 games in the All Formats Top 5 as ‘Wii Play’ holds on to No5. Take 2 enjoy a sterling 2nd week of sales for the DS version of ‘Carnival: Funfair Games’, helping the party game reach its highest ever chart position – up from No6 to No4. Microsoft claim the next highest new entry with ‘Too Human’ on Xbox 360 at No8 (No1 on Xbox 360), while EA miss out on two All Formats Top 10 debuts as ‘The Sims 2: Apartment Life’ begins life at No11.
Ubisoft’s ‘Scrabble Interactive: 2007 Edition’ re-enters the Top 40 at No35 thanks to a retailer ‘buy one get one free’ offer on the DS version.

Too Human at number 5, do you think Microsoft will be happy with that or did they expect more? considering the review scores it's getting then I guess it's doing quite well.

It probably means decent sales. I hope it gets enough for part two as there are the makings of a great game here if they can build on it.,

I was genuinely surprised that a mainly Wii game wasn't number 1.

I don't think it did any better in Japan.
Somebody said it was really hard, so that put me off the game.

This Tiger Woods deserves the recognition as it's the best one yet. The most complete golf package around.

The best on all Formats? I was thinking of getting it for the Wii.

Its straight in at number 1 in the Xbox charts so thats not too bad.
Does anyone know the numbers for Gears of War? Its always in the top best selling game in game and it was quite high up in the charts at play.com a couple of weeks back.
Do you guys remember that rumour about 1 million Too Human pre-orders?

Nice to see FIFA 08 still selling well and above PES 2008, but do people really need to buy it with the new version out in a month?
