Brace For Fifa

10/Oct/2016

‘FIFA 17’ (-79%) dominates the All Formats Chart at No1 for a second week, ahead of 2K’s ‘Mafia III’ which lands at No2 with the biggest ever launch in the series.

Debut week sales for ‘Mafia III’ are up 58.7% compared to the launch of ‘Mafia II’, although the previous release managed to chart at No1 when it came out over six years ago. ‘Forza Horizon 3’ (-71%) makes way, slipping one place to No3, while ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ (-1%) jumps up 6 places to No4, still enjoying the benefits of a retailer promotion. ‘Rocket League’ (-18%) is still proving popular, up 3 places to No5, while ‘Bioshock: The Collection’ (-43%) and ‘XCom 2’ (-40%) both slide two places to No’s 6 and 7 respectively. Take 2 however can comfort themselves with the fact that they have 4 titles in the Top 10. It would have been 5, but ‘NBA 2K17’ (-50%) drops from No9 to No15 this week. Only 3 other new releases make the Top 40 – ‘Paper Mario: Color Splash’ is new for Wii U at No14, ‘Ride 2’ starts its engines at No20 and ‘Warhammer: The End Times – Vermintide’ squeaks in at No34. Next week ‘FIFA 17’ will be up against ‘Gears of War 4’…

I was hoping for a drop closer to 50% for Forza. I'm disappointed at you UK people.
The good thing is that I know it will keep on selling good until the next Forza releases.

Halo 5 went up a few positions, nice.

General idea is that racing games don't sell that much anymore nowadays which in this case seems to be a shame as the game seems to be really exceptional.

Yaaaayyy!!!

It was strange that this was locked, but it is now corrected.

Price could have part in this and people are waiting for it to drop a tenner, It's generally been at least £42+ everywhere, Dunno why it's that high just like No Man's Sky was for some reason selling at like £5-7 more that what most other games release at. I saw quite a few sites offering Gears 4 in the region of £37 but never saw FH3 anywhere near that mark.

Ps4 and Fifa doing great in the UK.

Haha!  

Even the best of us make mistakes :P

Forza is doing very very well on the UK. I think it is Microsoft best selling franchise on Xbox One there. 

FH3 is doing super good compared to previous iteration. It is just that I expected the good impressionstuff from people and press to soften the drop. 

It will sell more than 150k (at least) before the end of the year and 250k by next year.  And that's not counting digital copies.
