Weekly Notes:

  • FIFA overtook Nintendo Land this week. FIFA will likely overtake Battlefield 4 sooner or later, while Nintendo Land will fall further behind as Watch Dogs rises.
  • Mario Kart is now in the Top 10 worldwide, overtaking Killzone, so give it some cheers I guess.
  • In North America and Europe, Watch Dogs showed the most growth in the Top 10, actually overtaking Battlefield and Black Flag in Europe. Watch Dogs is now the #3 game of the gen in Europe.
  • In Japan, Mario Kart 8 is the #4 game of the gen.
  • It will be interesting to see how quickly MK8 overakes SM3DW in various regions and worldwide.
  • Sorry again for this week's late update. It's not been a great week.

 

Please alert me of any errors I've made. This thread will be updated about once a week, after new numbers come in.

Enjoy!
