Forums - Sales Discussion - UK Charts - week ending 21st May 2016

If it weren't for the new releases R&C, Halo 5, Forza 6 wouldn't been 4,5, and 6 respectively. Speaking of Halo and Forza they once again impress this week with the NASCAR expansion giving an extra push to Forza 6. Also ROTTR worth mentioning at #17 this week.



Proud to be a Californian.

Wow only the top 3 games sold more than 10k....

Quite a drop for Uncharted. Still great LTD, though. And considering it's drop, that means anything not in the Top 5 must be be pretty low. QB looks like it'll be gone from the charts soon.

Next week we will have Overwatch ?, i think that Overwatch will be bigger than Doom in sales.

Uncharted 3 second week drop = 72%

UC4's drop is a bit too high for my liking, but its second week is still ahead of UC3's second week, so fair enough.

EDIT: Gears of War 3 second week drop (I figured this might also be a useful comparison) = 76%

 

So while it makes sense that UC4's drop would be bigger than UC3's drop, simply because of higher FW sales, the drop is still bigger than other previous big exclusives in the UK :-/

It's hard to compare, Uncharted 3 launch during the Holidays so you would expect a smaller drop.

Supposedly Doom is only at 100k so far in the UK (ps4,xb1,pc).

Im pretty sure Overwatch beats that first week, so yeah.

 

The shocker here is how low everything else is that isnt uncharted/doom.

FIRE EMBLEM FATES: BIRTHRIGHT for ex. is under 10k.

So if DOOM is just short of Uncharted 4 numbers its at like 40k sales for week 2 with a 35% drop, Guess not getting reviews out before release hurt first week sales but people decided to grab it after positive reviews.

The UC4 drop is within this expected range for how high it launched. Doom had a really good hold.

The rest of the new releases being higher then 5k but lower then 10k... not good. Except maybe the VC remaster, for which its probably decent numbers.
