WILDLANDS HOLDS FIRM AT NO.1

20/Mar/2017

In a quiet week for new releases, ‘Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands’ occupies the top spot for a second week.

It is a good start to the year for Ubisoft who now have the most weeks at No1 so far in 2017 with four (‘For Honor’ also grabbed two weeks at the top a month ago). An impressive second week for ‘Lego Worlds’ sees it leapfrog ‘Horizon: Zero Dawn’, up one place to No2 with only a 34% decline in sales. ‘Horizon: Zero Dawn’, Sony’s biggest ever PS4 launch of a new IP, has to settle for No3. Familiar faces, ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ and ‘FIFA 17’ remain popular; GTA creeping up one place to No4, while FIFA shimmies up two places to No5. ‘The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’ is now the only Switch game in the Top 10, down 2 places to No6, while ‘1-2 Switch’ falls from No9 to No17. Retailer hardware bundling propels 3 old Xbox One exclusives back in to the Top 40, with re-entries for ‘Forza Motorsport 5’ at No16, ‘Rare Reply’ at No27 and ‘Ryse: Son of Rome’ at No31. A retailer promotion also signals a re-entry for ‘Homefront: The Revolution’, back in the Top 40 at No22. The only new title to make the Top 40 this week is ‘Styx: Shards of Darkness’ from Focus Home Interactive & Maximum Games, debuting at No37.

Yas!
Nier isn't doing as well as I had hoped it would.

Horizon holding very nicely

"It’s two weeks on the trot at the top of the UK Top 40 for Ghost Recon: Wildlands.

Following the two No.1’s claimed by For Honor, that means Ubisoft has to date in 2017 claimed more UK No.1’s than any other publisher. Wildlands retains the top spot despite a 73 per cent drop in sales.

With only a 34 per cent week-on-week sales decline, Warner Bros’ LEGO Worlds stays put at No.2, while Sony’s Horizon Zero Dawn only slips one place, claiming third. The rest of the Top Ten has a very familiar look, with static sales of Grand Theft Auto V and FIFA 17 seeing those titles claim fourth and fifth.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sees its sales fall by 72 per cent (after a 70 per cent fall the week before), leaving Nintendo’s title in sixth. It now stands at the only Switch game in the Top Ten, with 1-2 Switch slipping out of the higher echelons of the charts in its third weeks, finishing at 17^th.

Nier Automata also drops of the Top Ten, slipping to No.14 after a 73 per cent drop in sales. The week’s only new entry, Styx: Shards of Darkness, can be found down in 37^th place."

For a girl that keeps them covered most of the time, Aloy has some nice legs. Not surprised Wildlands is selling well, but the actual game is just okay. Maybe someone in the cartel has decent legs as well. 

Forza 5 in the top 20, good grief

RIP Nier.

lol a Forza 5 bundle. I bought my F5 bundle in July 2015 and back then it was already old (and cheap).
