For the purposes of this article, all data used is preliminary and may differ from final numbers.
Two of the biggest games of the year launched this week. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has smashed all records selling a combined 4.4 million in EMEAA. This is up 400,000 (10%) compared to Call of Duty: Black Ops the previous record holder.
The other big debut this week is The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim which sold 950,000 in its first two days on sale. It is up massively over The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion which only managed to sell 106,000 in EMEAA during its scattered launch.
Other games include Just Dance 3 which sold another 95,000 copies and Uncharted 3 (PS3) which moved 150,000 units in its second week, a drop of 361,000 (-71%). Expect hardware to continue to increase across the board, with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 getting the biggest boost.

Uncharted 3 second week= :(
Any news on the PS360 splits on MW and Skyrim?
So, worldwide, about 330,000 for this week? Not bad at all considering the two outta three of the biggest games this year just launched.
Plus, if VGC is accurate, it's on par with UC2's 2nd week. So larger 1st week and about the same for the 2nd week. UC3 sales look to be very nice.

i couldn't miss this. UC3 does great as does sky rim. looking forward to the hardware sells being posted.
Uncharted 3 sales definitely affected by the release of other big hitters: skyrim, mw3, battlefield etc. I'm a big fan of uncharted but, I'm getting skyrim first. I think youl find a lot of other people that are buying other games instead.
This is my case, I have to "finish" skyrim before buying UC3.
Uncharted 3 didn't do bad despite it being launched right next to MW3 and Skyrim although it still looks undertracked
UC3 only 160000. Yeah right! That has to be undertracked.
Up "massively"?
Uncharted 3 is the best game of the year 2011, go guys, but this amazing-game.
