666% increase - according to VGC numbers, that would mean .. WiiU is best selling console this week UK.


the wiiu is selling about 1-1.5k a week in the uk, zelda WW bundle actually made a bigger 685% increase in hardware sales http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/gaming/nintendo-wii-u-sales-up-685-as-zelda-wind-waker-hd-hits-shelves-8878783.html

True, I also forgot about the watchdogs bump. PS4 will probably come in first.

MK bundle will obviously have better legs than the Zelda Bundle. Not sure also what the baseline pre Zelda Bundle was.

Man the UK market is tiny. 

Looks like Ubi Soft has their next big cash cow IP.

yup third party's are in control these days. its not about the first party anymore, when it comes to sales and selling consoles.

Great boosts for Wii U and PS4.



sully1311 on 02 June 2014

The PS4 version of Watch Dogs accounted for 49 per cent of first week sales, followed by the Xbox One edition (27%), the Xbox 360 version (13%) and the PS3 edition (9%).

Yes overall its small, but it's very comparable with the US market if you extrapolated the population size of the UK to the US.

Good percentages all around. How WiiU can get a 666% increase and more than 15% (probably a number close to last week sales) decides not to pick Mk8? Was the bundle bad priced in UK? Because the bundles report we got looked like we were stealling Nintendo.

PS4 WD Sales: ~191,000

X1: ~105,000

360: ~51,000

PS3: ~35,100

 

(If my maths is correct)



celador on 02 June 2014

Based on the UK figures, it looks like Watch Dogs is over a million sold first week on PS4 alone,and over 2 million in total



episteme on 02 June 2014

666% -> doomed!

or: Wii U beasting!



I said that MK8 will do much more (percentage wise) for the Wii U than Titanfall for X1.

And that's the UK, the worst place for Nintendo. It could be closer than I thought in Europe between PS4 and Wii U this week, but I think the PS4 will still sell better.

And MK8 seems to be well above a million world wide.
