Anthem at #1 as expected. I really don't have much else to add this week. So I'll just say "Go Zelda!!!"

Anthem apparently had half the sales of Andromeda, unless it did really well digitally EA and Bioware can't be very happy.

Anthem bombed. I hope this doesn't mean the end for bioware. I want more Mass Effect

Why do people want more Mass Effect whrn it's become obvious that Bioware can no longer deliver?

Killing off Bioware wouldn't stop EA from making more Mass Effect games. Just look at Westwood and Command & Conquer, EA killed Westwood after the second one but churned out several more titles and spinoffs since then.

God Anthem tanked. EA and MS won't be happy. Good to see Metro at #5.

Let me reiterate. I want more good Mass Effect. 

Then better have some other studio buy the IP. EA will do shit as always, and Bioware is just a shadow if it's former self now.

Supposedly Anthem did abit under 42k in the UK...... which isnt exactly great.
