Notes:

• There was no notable shifting of positions in the worldwide Top 30 this week, and the rising bottom of the chart made it all the harder for newcomers to appear.
• Publisher-wise, EA continues to gain ground on Nintendo for total games sold in the Top 30, selling about 140,000 games to Nintendo's 110,000. Besides these two, no other publisher of games comes close in either current or total sales.
• In North America, Titanfall was by far the lead game of the week, gaining the most ground, even more than the multiple CoD: Ghosts versions combined. However, it will still take a few weeks for it to overtake Assassin's Creed 4.
• Europe continues to have a competition for its bottom spot. By the time we get a definitive winner here, Watch Dogs and Mario kart 8 will likely be out.
• Based on pre-order data, Watch Dogs has already sold at least 600,000 copies in the US alone, and will thus likely sell as many as 750,000 in North America alone week 1. This would NOT be enough to put it in the Top 10 immediately, but would put it in the Top 15 easily. Furthermore, if Watch Dogs has a similar international recception as Assassin's Creed 4, it can end up selling roughly 1.5 million week 1. Again, that would fall short of the Top 10, but definately would be in the Top 15 worldwide for this gen.
• Mario Kart 8 is going to be more modest, at least at first. Pre-orders look like they'll end in the 250,000 to 300,000 range in the US, well short of reaching top figures. However, it SHOULD be in the Top 30 immediately, especially thanks to Japan actually being a factor in this equation.
