The only thing worse than those numbers are the fact that 15k is enough to crack the NA top ten this week.


Obviously there was one game that people wanted to buy this week, so it sucked up all the sales like a black hole. 


Yeah, that's the obvious explanation, but I find no comfort in it. It's a sign that console gaming is further homogenizing on established franchises and large budgets.

For example, last time a major GTA release stormed the Chartz, 40k units was required to break into the NA top ten.

The vacuum is sucking harder, and we're running out of air.
