Driveclub, I wonder just how low the sales of Driveclub would of been had people had the chance to see how poorly it was rated overall by reviewers beforehand and would Anyone have bought it if they had any hint of how the servers were going to turn out ?.

Well, actually, thie number reflects all those points, since the game came out on Friday, 3 days after review embargo was lifted, and the same three days of server implosion.

Woohoo Shadow of Mordor still going strong :D

this week Xboxers are more disappointed with their 360's then as they moved to box1 for forza but still disappointed with fifa 15,it gets confusing this moving to next gen,ah well we know PS4 is number 1 in the uk gen 8 which is a good improvement from gen 7

nothing wrong with driveclub,sony fans will play on plus first mostly another great reason for people to get a PS4 over their gen 7 console and get PS plus,should mean more choose a PS4 in the UK

FIFA,Shadow,Alien all top on PS4 for gen 8 wonder how farcry and dragon age will go,maybe COD AR will be the first box1,be interesting to see as we come into the big season

Considering the free PS+ edition and the cheaper digital upgrade I'd say those sales are really expected for DriveClub. Now, if only the PS+ edition had released on time...

lol  I guess you don't really pay attention to single sku charts and combined charts do you? 

They're saying that FH2 X1+X360 combined is > Driveclub, that's all...

Drive club will likely drop below them both soon enough given the mediocre reviews and utterly broken nature of the game.    Never seen a game release so mishandled.  The last 12 months have been a total debacle.

I agree about the handling of DC but my point still stands to dasert.

Here's hoping that Alien Isolation has pretty good legs.

Alien games tend to do well here, so I have high hopes. Will be picking it up before 2014 is gone.

Decent launch for DC.

Considering there was a free comprehensive demo that should deviate some sales first week, discounted digital version that should take some of the retail sales and not flatering reviews on a new IP it is acceptable position to launch in as single format.


There is still no free demo for it.

For first week they were waiting for ps% edition so hold on buying? They had no way of knowing the version would be held for so long during pre-order time.
