Yep, bundled games (including download codes in X1 SKUs) are included in UK charts. NPD/US do not count official bundled games but do count retailer bundles (e.g. MS promotion of free game with any X1 console).

Then how the heck is FIFA 15 selling the worst on XOne, when it has a bundle? And from what I see, that is the only game officially bundled with XOne (all others are retailer created packages).

Is it possible that VGC is overtracking XOne in the UK?

Bundle sales won't account for much for a big title like FIFA.

What that means?

Big title bundles like FIFA are what sells consoles and increase the user base.

FIFA bundle didn't selling that much just show how the accept ion of Xbone is slow in UK.

That is my opinion of course... even so the bundle boosted Xbone sales to top PS4 one week... it did good.

Edit - This headline should never exists without FIFA bundle: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-one-outsells-ps4-in-uk-with-help-of-fifa-15/1100-6422635/

I mean in regards to total software sales for a specific title (ie. FIFA 15 X1 SKU). The bundle has only probably added 20k-30k to the total software number in the Uk

was driveclub and the bündle a friday release as usual in uk?
that would expain the low drop.

it was not a highly anticipated and preordered game. so maybe some just notice the game in its second tracking week.

lets wait for thrid week drop

In portugal it was 400€ at least the first week (game was free), then it rose to 450 or something.

Fucking yes, The Evil Within at the top.

45% drop for DriveClub, that's actually surprisingly good and kind of unexpected.

Destiny dropping quickly, top sku at no. 21.
