Can't believe Driveclub dropped only 45% with all its troubles. Guess the problems were more exaggerated by doom-wishers than were a real problem to fans.

Sad to see The Evil Within didn't break #1, but not surprised, it is after all a smaller game compared to FIFA behemoth.

Glad to see Borderlands up there while only on last-gen. Hopefully they port it, those games are very fun...


lol, believe me, they were not exxagerated. My cousin with that game is still having nightmares here and there.



Praise the One.

Destiny holding alright. Should have great legs through the holidays with Sony's marketing.

Exaggerated? The game doesn't work online 2 weeks after its initial release in US & EU. People buynig it probably don't even now about it when they see game is store. You know, it's not like Sony is talking about it on TV.



Those black and white Driveclub bundles are probably helping it out a lot.

Response to you and the couple of others who quoted me:

Please don't misunderstand, i also think that the way this game is handled is unacceptable. I thought the dropoff will be more in the neighborhood of 95% than 45%.

That's why I'm surprised.

Thanks to Kowenicki for pointing out the bundle effect. If I were in the market for PS4, i would surely look for another bundled game. (Also: Here the bundled games are counted? It's hard to keep track of various charts and their bundled policy...)

Yep, bundled games (including download codes in X1 SKUs) are included in UK charts. NPD/US do not count official bundled games but do count retailer bundles (e.g. MS promotion of free game with any X1 console).

Fantastic share for PS4. This confirms what we already know: PS4 will always sell significantly more software than the Xbox One, unless it's a shooter then the percentages will be much closer. I personally expect to see a decent advantage for PS4 with Assassin's Creed even though it has a bundle for the Xbox One.

DriveClub's drop is rather pleasant, but it owes much of that to bundles. Forza's drop is minimal as well, I guess the game is only doing that fantastically in the UK. I expected a slightly smaller drop of Shadow of Mordor, but I still expect it to remain consistent throughout the rest of the year.

I'm curious to see how far Minecraft PS4 will go! I'm sure all versions will do great this holiday season, but I'm keen to see if it will continue to have higher weekly sales than the Xbox 360 version in the UK.



PS4 software sales are getting ridiculous in UK.

DAT 47%

I'm starting to believe more and more Xbone owner will get a PS4 and make it the Multiplatform machine or trade it to get a PS4 in UK.
