Forums - Sales - UK Chart - Week ending 31st August

Sad week. The Last of Us drops out of the top ten... ;-(

Rayman Legends debuts lower than I would wish it did, my favourite 2D platformers around.
Lost Planet 3 is another huge bomb this year, and at least the second from Capcom after Remember Me, but the latter looked way more interesting.

The bright spot is Minecraft, shows great legs indeed, what's the suggested price for it?



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Around the Network

If we go with VGC's Origins debut numbers, you're looking at just under 7k combined for Legends.

So 45% is just over 3k for Wii U sales.



VGChartz

By the way, One Piece Pirate Warriors 2 (PS3) & Etrian Odyssey 4 (3DS) also released this week. They charted at #10 and #7 respectively in each of their individual console charts.



Ha! There is some justice with the Wii U version being on top.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

If anything, this justifies Ubisoft's decision for a simultaneous release, because otherwise the other versions would have bombed even harder.

Exactly, I was going to post something similar on Eurogamer... the PS3/Xbox sales are only just uder the Wii-u version and combined would have probaly sold more than the Wii-u (and then when you add in the Vita version when its released).

So by combining platforms they have probably sold double what they were going to if they had stayed on the wii-u only and thats before any Vita sales. It totally justifies their decision to wait imho.

I guess the only argument given might be that more Wii-u purchases would have been made had it been released when it was supposed to rather than later. But i am not convinced that it would have been massive just looking at recent Wii-u single platform exclusive games.

but how do you know what it would have sold back in Feb? WiiU had no games at that time and so Rayman had zero competion, now it has to compete with Pikmin 3, Wonderful Bomba and the rest of WiiU's holiday line-up. not saying it would have been a better idea but its possible.

 

oh and fun fact, it IS WiiU exclusive... in Japan 0_0



Rayman outsold the original by 20% first week and thats not including the vita. I dont think that can be considered a bomb

he hates original and beautiful games obviously. Ubisoft should have just made a CoD clone instead =)
