And it will probably get even worse, because there are no exciting new games until May 20 and Wolfenstein (and that one is iffy sales-wise). There are a few games sprinkled in (Bound by Flame, Spiderman 2, eeehhhh... that's about it), so by the time Watch Dogs rolls in the market (and the customers) will be so depressed, WD will fly off the shelves.

Wow, titanfall is on beasting mode..I really don't understand how some people think it's a flop.. They crazy..

Not a flop, but it's beasting thanks to alot of help from something.

OT: Looks like X1 and PS4 both did well this week.

Ha, make a thread with a vote if titanfall is a flop.. I believe 3 to 1 on this site will say it's a flop ... That's all I'm saying. But yes titanfall is getting pushed for Xbox one with lower prices too. Ms really wants to titanfall to be played on xbox one.. "It's beating thanks to a lot of help from something" ? Explain please

Its beasting thanks to the bundle, that's what I'm saying. It'd still sell well without it probably, but it can't be denied that the bundle probably adds a couple 1000 units in the UK and a couple 10000 units in the US every week.

I'm sure it's also beasting in digital sales...

Praise the One.

Even thought I live in the UK, the charts don't bother me at all... I'm more interested in the Japanese charts.

This is all getting pretty same-y now...

Good for Xbox though.

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

What do people expect in April? lol

A slew of new blockbuster titles and massive sales?

April did contain Easter, which is actually one of the high points of the year for gaming sales, but its no surprise the lowest week of the year so far comes immeditaly after.

Summer months are going to be dire.

TF XO>x360 is still pretty amazing

TF XO bundled with almost every consoles sold.... TF 360 it own sales... nothing amazing here... to be fair that just shows low sales for all games in the chart top games sold < 15k.
