Forums - Sony Discussion - UK: DriveClub sales jump 999% during Black Friday week

DriveClub sales jump 999% during Black Friday week

Heavily-discounted DriveClub PS4 bundle to thank for chart success.

1st Dec, 2014 - 9:45am

Sales of PS4 racer DriveClub rose by 999 per cent last week thanks to "massive sales" of the heavily-discounted DriveClub PS4 bundle.

Evolution's racer jumped 25 places to No.8 in this week's charts due to the high volume of sales, after the console bundle was discounted to as low as £289 for the Black Friday weekend. The bundle typically costs £384.99.

Sales figures for the game have yet to be announced by Sony.

Its resurgence in the charts follows the release of last week's DLC, which was given away for free to all DriveClub owners as compensation for the game's bodged launch.

That bundle must have sold very well. I wonder if PS4 won the week with it.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

It sold 5k last week so this would mean it sold ~50k this week. Seems kinda reasonable



I bought a PS4 Driveclub bundle over the weekend. It was too good a deal not to jump in on if you wanted the console, imo. £300 for PS4 + Driveclub (physical) + TLOU (digital). Could always sell Driveclub if you didn't want it.

Both MS & Sony have a big smile this morning I tell you.

50k is a very good figure and I hope it sells even better.



interesting, bundles surely helped this game. why arent the charts out yet?

Edit: they are out now



WOW! That is huge. Hardware sales must be monstrous this week considering there were other bundles that must have sold extremely well too.



Drive club is a pretty good game imo. Most reviews are based on the first week when the club feature wasn't that great. Its working much better now (although still not perfect). Car handling is great and graphics top notch.

Guess they both had a great weak. Maybe MCV will tell us who won.
