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

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.

Lol those numbers are so low i hope that they are purchasing more games in the Digital Stores.

Not sure what this cryptic nonsense is about, but we already know Uncharted 4 did around ~42k, DOOM is around ~40k, and everything below UC4, Doom, and Homefront is <10k. UK baseline is low  on slow months like this and it's not surprising that a remaster of a niche game and a Nintendo game didn't do that well in UK.

Also good to see how well positive WoM can really sell games nowadays, while negative WoM can stunt a game's legs. I still refuse to buy DOOM new though due to Bethesda not sending out review codes until the day of release. Sets a bad precedence.

Professional criticism isn't word of mounth, the players who play the games and recommend the game for their friends are the true word of mounth.

Happy to see that Doom is being popular.

Yeah even my brother keep playing it on his PS4 and he even bought Uncharted 4 but he hasn't played that yet, it's still even unwrapped.

Save the game of the generation so far until last.  Your brother is a smart guy!  

 

@walsufnir the charted games maybe lacking but the uncharted game is beasting.  Great to see its second week ahead of uncharted 3s second week and with a much bigger opening too.  

 

What a great year this has been so far.  Doom on Ps4 especially looking very good. 



Uncharted 4 is doing a great job!
And I love the Ratchet & Clank legs!
