Yeah I noticed that 35% drop as well. With both games and movies, 70+% drops from first to second week are average. 35% is almost unheard of, from everything I’ve seen. I had a feeling GoW would have good legs due to word of mouth and the perception change from bad to good only a week before release, but I never would’ve guessed only a 35% drop. Here’s to hoping it’s similar elsewhere as well, rather than it being due to the UK’s Amazon stock problem (even worse than US’s). 

Are we sure ? I would be interested to see the drop between FW and SW with PS4 1st Party titles actually.

I think their legs might be usually better in that market.

No, I’m not sure; I can’t speak for everything. It’s much harder to observe with games, bc numbers don’t consistently get released like thy do for movies. But for the drops I HAVE seen, it’s been a 70-80% drop. For the biggest movies, it goes around the (EDIT) 50-60% range. It’s the movies with amazing word of mouth that have the most impressive/lowest declines week one to week two, but I don’t recall ever seeing that low of a drop, other than when the second week occurred during the Dec 25 to early Jan timeframe.
