GO ZELDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And go Far Cry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy to see Zelda, Evolve and Monster Hunter take the top spots. New games and refreshing deviation from COD/FIFA/AC/Farcry.
Lets see if Evolve will have legs or not.

I don't think it's bundled not that I know of FH2 jump one spot even with all those new games coming out which is really impressive, Halo the Master Chief collection should get an mention for this as well it only drop one spot.

You're reading it wrong. It gave a 57% boost to the total HW sold in the UK for that week. N3ds didn't just sell 5k lol. It probably sold around 20-30k. |
Thanks Benji232!I was going to find out the truth about that because it was seeming farfetched and so irrational to be true!And you proved me right!
The second monster hunting title in the chart this week is the aptly named ‘Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate’, which makes its mark at No4. The title’s week 1 sales are an impressive 95% up on predecessor ‘Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate’ as the series starts to gain real traction in the West!
This(especially the last line) is for some people who are complaining about the really high monster hunter 4 numbers in the USA's pre-orders chart here and basing it to previous monster hunter titles performance in the west...Like massive leaps in popularity aren't feasible...

No problem Tak :).
Predictions for LT console sales:
PS4: 120M
XB1: 70M
WiiU: 14M
3DS: 60M
Vita: 13M
Another good week. Well done nintendo on the Boost. Delighted to see Evolve bomb hard. As someone said it's a dud and i also hope it has terrible legs.
Sony have battlefield and batman advertising coming. Looks like they picked the right games again.

Besides that is pretty good for MH. As for Zelda, it should be well over 20k. A remake of the less popular Main Zelda's. Not Amazing, but good debut's. |
Not saying you're wrong, but where is the calc for GTAV being 16,733? If we look at the GTA drops from the lst VGC numbers that brings us to ~17,100. But I'm inclined to go for the direct reference to MH3 on 3DS as GFK has given us the exact % increase in relation to that title so we don't need any indirect reference to GTAV. If you believe MH4 >16,733 that means MH3 got >8,500 fw in the UK. That is a reasonably credible figure because it's still on the low side. 95% up on MH3 is good for sure. But I think GFK is overstating things a bit by saying that's real traction. It remains to be seen whether it will leg it out to also double LTD sales, or if as is the case with a lot of sequels there is somewhat more front loading of sales.
LoZ could be over 30K, we don't know. All we know is probably more than 15K and definitely <40K.
"Good for a Zelda / MH game on 3DS in the UK." Is both good and bad. Because in general good for 3DS in the UK isn't actually good across platform.
I gotta say 57% boost for N3DS also isn't setting the world on fire either, given 3DS's fairly low base (if VGC hardware is roughly correct). If the reception to N3DS is this muted around the world then we can expect a flat year at best for 3DS, which should mean a new handheld in 2016. If Nintendo is looking at a unified platform for home console and handheld it probably means both launching in the same year, which is looking more and more like 2016.
