It's probably having some impact but the game wouldn't be so high without the bundles. Doesn't really matter though since the game should now be over 1m globally and therefore not a flop!

So Ryse isn't a flop either then?

No. It also has a PC version.

DriveClub will easily top Ryse though. They are not really comparable. It should do so in 1-2 weeks.

Anecdotal evidence of three people picking up DriveClub (without bundles)!! http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=143395159&postcount=114

There is no doubt in my mind that word of mouth is increasing.

Frozen Olaf's Quest is still selling well over there. Almost a year later. From what I can see, UK hasn't forgot the movie yet, or in other words... they never let it go.




You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

So he bought it yesterday and it's already his GOTY? And the 2 people in the queue infront of him also just happened to be picking it up?

It's the holidays and plenty of free time to play games for many...

How much time do you need with a game before saying it's your favorite of the year? Personally I can tell quite quickly after starting a game. 

No need to trust this guy though, just look at the software chart!

@kowen: He didn't say one after the other. Was probably a queue with quite a few people. 

Regarding the free version: They are. Probably not long now since everything is stable now and the weather is out.

Why is Destiny Xbone mentioned in the article when it isn't even in the top 40 and is outsold by the Xbox 360 version?

Yes a bit strange, from the Article

Activision’s ‘Destiny’ jumps 7 places to No9 (+29%) with PS4 and Xbox One editions proving extremely popular.

Its so popular its not even in the top 40



PS4 HW looks to be up very nicely. Most games going up, TLOU recharting (which was bundled a lot) and Driveclub holding well. Still think PS4 will top December.

It might have decent sales even if it's outside the top 40. The baseline there is now much higher than it usually is due to the holiday effect.

GTA PS4 holding on to top spot, Fifa 15 PS4 climbing 5 spots, while Xb one version drops 4, Drive club holding steady, Far Cry 4 climbing 6 places on PS4 but dropping 2 places on Xb one, TLOUR and Destiny both re-entering the chart for PS4. All this point to PS4 selling more than Xb one.

CoD on Xb one climbing to #2, and being 6 places ahead of PS4 version (albeit it also climbed the chart), GTA on Xb one climbing 1 place in the chart, MCC climbing 6 places, the Forza twins both re-entering the chart. These things all muddy the waters a bit and suggest hardware sales could be very close once again.

prices are well matched for PS/XB in the uk like was said,i guess sony can take the hit here but not in the US as market too big,if MS go lower doubt sony could follow in the UK
