THE FORCE STILL STRONG

11/Jul/2016

Warner’s ‘Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ takes a second week at No1 (-54%) and a WiiU version debuts this week, making for a total of 7 physical formats.

Activision Blizzard’s ‘Overwatch’ climbs one place to No2 (-2%), as does Bethesda’s ‘Doom’, up from No4 to No3 as sales climb overall and particularly on PS4 thanks to price promotion (+7%). EA’s ‘FIFA 16’ drops 2 places to No4 (-30%). 505 Games’ ‘Rocket League’ is showing resilience by climbing to a best chart position in its third week since launch, up 2 places to No5 (-7%). The lone new entry is ‘Carmageddon: Max Damage’ for PS4 & Xbox One debuting at No22. This Carmageddon re-boot is published by Sold Out and developed by the original series developer Stainless Games (first published on PC in 1997). UK indie Stainless Games acquired the rights to the Carmageddon franchise – the original game generated around £4m in the UK as a boxed release, on PC, PS1, N64, Gameboy Color and Apple Mac.

I can't believe how long Ratchet and Clank is staying up there, and going from 10th back up to 6th, really happy it's doing well!

Damn! DOOM is still going strong and the PS4 version is above both Overwtach and Uncharted 4 on the individual formats as well :) Nice to see Ratchet still going strong as well :D

R& C is gonna overtake UC4 in weekly sales xD

Halo and Forza dropping is probably a direct relation to the Xbox Slim up for preorder. Sales has dropped for the Xbox One phat because nobody really buys a game with a preordered console. I think Halo and Forza will spike again with the release of the Slim, maybe both in the top 10.

The top 10 numbers are very low at this time of year (entire top 10 probably makes up about 100k units), anything outside the top 10 will be selling less than 5k.

I bet a lot of people rebought it for the seperate trophy list, We are in an era where achieviements sell games :)

Ps4 dominating the top 5. Great to see ratchet so high and uncharted hold strong.

Happy to see rocket league too. I've a feeling this could do a minecraft in terms of legs. Maybe to a lesser extent.

I'm guessing that's why the XBO version of Rocket League is higher than the PS4 version.
