If we're going from GT5's numbers then yeah, but UC3 had a bigger release than GT6. Granted GT6 was overshadowed by PS4's EU release week

Your'e making it seem as if PS4's EU release and not too old NA release were small events. I bet if UC3 was released in place of GT6 it would have been a massive flop. You can't just ignore the sales of GT 1-5 just because GT6 didn't sell well on a console whose sucessor released in the previous week in the game's biggest market.

Why are you getting defensive? I was just going by both franchises latest releases. GT6 wasn't recieved as well as UC3 was. I honestly believe PS4 owners and non-PS4 owners are more excited for another Uncharted than another Gran Turismo.

Then you believe wrong. Reviews don't matter if the game isn't as exciting. By ignoring other factors you clearly don't want GT7 to be bigger than UC4. But it certainly will. GT is like the Halo and Mario of PlayStation.

If so then GT6 is a massive disappointment

the problem with vgchartz number is there not really reliable, with out knowing the actual numbers we don't really know, epecially when your talking about such a small number to begin with the margin of error could be huge.


It doesn't really matter anyway, the most interesting territory for the wii u this week is Japan.

I think they figured Driveclub would be enough for PS4 launch.

I thought Mario Kart was supposed to be the biggest Wii U release of the year. It got beat by PS4 and XOne Watch Dogs in UK. Plus people are very quick to bash Watch Dogs (I was one of them until I played more) and praise MK8. Congrats to both though


It is the biggest WiiU release of the year, so far. Its the best selling WiiU game in UK for week 1. And that 666% console sales jump is evidence that MK8 is gonna be huge.



Current Game Machines: 3DS, Wii U, PC.

Currently Playing: X-Com(PC), Smash Bros(WiiU), Banner Saga(PC), Guild Wars 2(PC), Project X Zone(3DS), Luigis Mansion 2(3DS), DayZ(PC)

Like the 685% console sales jump was evidence that WWHD would be huge?

Nay bad Watch Dogs. Nay bad.

Good week for hardware and software in the UK this week!

Guess the exclusive advertising worked for it too - 49% PS4, like nearly 200k? Other versions held up very well though.
