The Order expected as its setting is in London and nothing new came out to satisfy the thirst. Besides of that, week seems to be like last (as usual) but nice to see Halo:MCC and Forza Horizon 2 both climbed up again. Good legs for both.
Surprised seeing TLOU again. Was it bundled? Huge price cut?

DOA 5: Last Round and Total War: Attila also came out. Also there is no real thirst for games, Evolve was released just last week.


Do you want to argue that shooters have the same attraction as beat'em'ups? The Order is targetting a specific genre which always sells more than others. Again, let's see next weeks numbers and legs.

You said nothing new came. I just proved you wrong. That's it.

And shooters may have a big appeal, but not when they don't have multiplayer and certainly a SP-only TPS doesn't have the same appeal as an FPS. Although as you said, the setting may have something to do with it. What we don't know however, is how much did The Order: 1886 sell.

2 more weeks to see if Screamride debuts at #1. That thirst though.

Don't know what seeing next weeks number or legs will do.  The PS4 has already shown it can beat the competetion, sales wise, with poorly reviewed games.  The Order is not going to change that.

Not much thirst. Halo and Forza Horizon 2 are still selling pretty well.

There is talk on GAF that COD sold combined 24,476 units, so above that. Evolve did 49,215 units first week (last week) so both versions could've been number one this week for the individuals charts, too. 25k is just the minimum.

So is The Last Of Us: Remastered.

1 day of sales and no 1 already ? Nice !



Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

Well it just came out of the blue so I'm not sure if there was some sale or something. Halo and Forza have been on the list consistently. That's what I mean by "still selling pretty well".

That's just 7 month old thirst. Legs come from thirst too.
