Destiny will continue to dominate the charges until October.


Fifa!



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

TLOUR keeps beasting despite many new entries. Should see a pricecut before christmas and ramp up the chartz again.

Now that is interesting. HyWa so far up. In a country that hates Nintendo.


Thats because Hyrule Warriors is a great Game!!And plus LinkxLana is born!!I love Love Triangles!!

Triforce of love!

For some reason, I expected Watch_Dogs to outsell Hyrule Warriors, but I guess the numbers will fall apart come next week, like always.



 
I WON A BET AGAINST AZUREN! WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

HyWa top selling exclusive. But then it's also the only new release exclusive, aside from that 3DS final fantasy oddity.

72% of PS4 purchases being Destiny bundle doesn't necessarily mean huge console sales. But I assume GFK keeps track of hardware without actually publishing numbers weekly, so if they specifically note that Destiny bundle is keeping PS4 sales up then I guess it's significantly higher than baseline. I'm guessing between 15 and 20K for PS4 for the week?

Gotta give props to TLOUR for sticking it out in the top 10.

Now is a 78% drop for a game that launched as big as Destiny an expected drop? I thought most people figured a less than 80% drop is OK, and a less than 60% is very good. Being in the high 70's suggests it's not a great 2nd week, but also not bad. So the Meta score and some of the complaining about the flaws of the game perhaps haven't hurt sales too much. If 78% is the global drop, and Destiny launched to 7 million across all platforms then week 2 should be around 1.5 million. If it comes in at less than 1 million for the second week then that's a pretty poor showing.

We are all expectating a 10M announcement one day or another, maybe during holidays?

possibiliy after the holidays, its still 2m ~ away from a 10 million shipped+ digital announcement. 



I wonder what the Fifa split will be next week. I know X1 has a bundle with it that's apparently pre-ordering well. However, they had a bundle last year to and PS4 sku still outsold it. It'll be interesting.



Surprisingly good opening week for Hyrule Warriors!

Sales breakdown for Disney Infinity 2.0 I found interesting too. Even though the 360 version is the best selling, PS seems to charging forward as the leading platform for it while the X1 and Wii U battle for remaining market share.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
