the low price in uk keeps god of war on a decent place

gears? ohh well, they didn't do the franchise a favour with that...

star trek game would not even deserve to be in the top 40....

bioshock deserves better

Halo 4 :O
Also is this the first time in years that no Forza game is in the top 40 ?


High Tide

29/Apr/2013

The reign of the super heroes is over, replaced by the rise of the zombies as Deep Silver/Koch Media take the No1 spot with ‘Dead Island: Riptide’.

The sequel to the hugely successful ‘Dead Island’ which launched in week 36 2011, matches its predecessor by taking the crown in its first week despite having less than half the sales of the original. In total 71% of sales are for Xbox 360 which includes the special Zombie Bait Edition.

Warner’s ‘Injustice: Gods Among Us’ drops to No2 ahead of Capcom’s ‘Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen’. The release includes all the content of the original ‘Dragon’s Dogma’ which also debuted at No3 back in week 21 2012, as well as a host of new content and features. The crew of the Starship Enterprise land at No4 with Namco Bandai’s release of ‘Star Trek’ coming a few weeks ahead of the hotly anticipated movie. It also makes it the third highest week 1 sell through for a Star Trek branded game. Square Enix’s ‘Tomb Raider’ slips down to No5 while last week’s No2 2K/Take 2’s ‘Bioshock Infinite’ is down to No6. Following the release of Lego City Undercover on Wii U in Week 13 a prequel title comes to 3DS with Nintendo’s ‘Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins’ at No8.

Rising Star Games also sneak into the Top 40 this week with ‘Deadly Premonition: The Director’s Cut’ at No38. The title which launched on Xbox 360 back in week 43 2010 gets all new content and story lines in this latest edition exclusive to PS3.

Dead Island Riptide: less than 43k
- > 360 version: less than 30.5k

So it's interesting that Lego City 3DS performs better than the Wii U version. And nice hold for Fire Emblem also!

@barozi

indeed, didn't recognize that with halo and the missing forza, weird that both microsoft games did so bad this week.

I'm not really shocked given the difference in install base and that the 3ds version is a pretty good game.

More than likely it didn't. Even with all these new releases at the top it's still a rather low week.
Sadly Chart-Track didn't report the drops/increases this week, but the PS3 version of Injustice did 13.8k last week and is still higher than the 3DS LEGO game.

Assuming a decent drop for Injustice (50%), it did about 6.9k this week, which is significantly lower than Lego City Undercover for WiiU (9.5k).


I almost forgot that Injustice for WiiU released that week. Didn't make it in the top 40 and is 5th in the WiiU charts behind the stand alone version of NintendoLand. Probably just below 1.000 units.

Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed U? The hell?

Hmm, I guess so. Its a shame no official numbers release becaude it makes it a guessing game.
