UK Charts Week Ending 10 May 2014

[Kresnik]

That's... a really decent result by Bound by Flame. Especially surprising considering the complete lack of last-gen versions in the chart.

Just one of those cases of being the right game at the right time. The first WRPG on the system probably helped to give it a push. I expect it to drop a lot next week, but I also suspect that such a high charting position is a pretty good success for a relatively small pub like Focus Home Interactive.

Also, God of War Collection Vita!? That one surprised me. Guess brand name will do that, even on struggling Vita and a fairly iffy port. I think ioi will do one of those things with this. Either he'll add the sales of this version onto the PS3 version (like he did with the Jak & Daxter Collection) or he'll ignore it altogether (like he did with the Sly Cooper Collection). Le sigh.

Also, Minecraft is a beast. Next week will be fun with the PS3 version releasing. Although I don't expect it to do such epic numbers (less PS3 dominance in the UK; coming out a bit too late etc.) I reckon it's going to be quite a steady performer too. I'd certainly be buying it if I wasn't intending on getting the Vita version.
