Lords of the Fallen ...
How sad, the game deserve more recognition.


This game flew way under my radar because its between Shadow of Mordor and Dragon Age. I think the same happened for many people.

Agreed. Rreminds me of Enslaved. A good game that was released during a very crowded time frame.

I would think that the developers are still satisfied with the sales. It did better in Europe, and we must remember that it is on PC as well, and those numbers are not tracked.

For an indie developer and a small-fries publisher, it surely is a decent success, and goid word of mouth will give it longevity.



Hmmm 3 straight weeks and the WiiU in U.S. is steadily going up and the others aren't. Get ready for WiiU domination.

Are we seeing the same charts?

PS4 is at 96k, up from 77k in the previous week, that's about 19k and around 27-28% up week-over week.

Xbox One is at 80.5k, up from 55k in the previous week, that's 25k up and close to 50% up week-over week.

The Wii U is at 30.7k, up from 23.5k in the previous week, that's about 7k up and around 30% up week-over week.

The week ending October 18th saw around 13% increase for PS4, 21% for One and 20% for Wii U.

The week ending October 11th saw PS4 down by about 3%, One up around 6% and Wii U down 6%.

The week ending October 4th saw PS4 down 12%, One down 13%, and Wii U down 26%.

I have to ask again; are we seeing the same charts? If rise or smaller drops in the US is a sign of imminent domination, surely the Xbox One is set to dominate. Have you forgotten the holidays last year? The Wii U sold 1.6 million for November/December combined, the Wii U needs to basically triple that in order to compete in the top and possibly quadruple to "dominate". I don't understand your reasoning, especially the bit about Wii U being the only rising when it is provably growing the least and shrinking the most on bad weeks in the US, on average, this is so easily falsified.

Wait, so now there were 2.5 million PS4 on shelves at the end of September? I dont think anyone believes that. Sony shipped 3.3 million last quarter. And 2.5 million of that was left over? So Nintendo achieved more than 100% sell through at one point, but the Sony can only do 24% sell through in that quarter?


Clearly Sony is lying. If VGC can't find where those units are sold then they simply don't exist. Logic has no place in the chartz


Of course the next natural question is, if Chartz docks Sony because of inability to track sales (or rather its inability to estimate sales... lets be real), how does it find more than all the WiiUs ever shipped. 

I do data analysis for a living and we have a saying when someone is shocked by a bad extrapolation from bad data:

"Garbage in, garbage out"

Interestingly,  the PS4's market share is at 48%

You never know:P we don t know how much new 3ds/xl announcment will drop 3ds in NA and EU!For sure,3ds will smash ps4 in the week of pokemon or/as,mainly because of the big difference that they will have in japan(new 3ds/xl release in Australia/NZ this week).They can even have a 200k difference in that week in Japan ;)  Generally, 3ds will obliterate ps4 in japan(especially now that there is a successor for a 17m userbase and the lure to jump to it and renew).Lets see if the NA and EU will cover that defecit:P



The cheap Xbone deals were announced on the 27th or something right? That would explain the disappointing Xbone sales. Why would someone buy one from the 27th onwards when they could get it on the 2nd Nov for $50 cheaper
