That a pretty small dropp for The Order 1886,right?

Yes. It can only mean that people aren't blind sheep anymore and don't follow critics to make decisions for them like before. Times are changing.

And then you put it in context with what bananaking said. Judging only by drops in percent is a limited view when talking about sales.

That's all well and good, but the % drop also tells us the game is not flopping. A flop would drop by 80% or more regardless of the opening number.

Also if VGC is close to correct for Evolve it means the Order did about 25% better than the Xb one sku (the highest sku) of Evolve. It also did slightly better than Majora's Mask, again if VGC is close to correct for that. And the Order's drop is 10% lighter than Evolve's 2nd week drop, and 14% lighter than Majora's Mask. So it started higher and dropped less.

It could even be that The Order week 1 will be greater than Dying Light's week 1 best selling sku (PS4). Which would actually make The Order the best launching individual format new release in the UK for the year so far. And of those new releases it's had the lightest 2nd week drop for any new release that lauched at number 1. Saints Row had a lighter drop, but it launched at number 5.

It's a good result for The Order but that's all, just good.


With the lack of any concrete number, everything could be, yes.

This is not the only possible reason, though.

Step but expected drop for The Order... After all if you aren't waiting a pricedrop to buy it what benefit you have on buying in week 2-20 instead of day one?


You can spend your money elsewhere? You can wait to buy it used? You can have a friend borrow it to you? Why are people buying GTAV on PS4 and Xbone although game was released many weeks ago?

Uhnnnnnnnnn? I stated that IF YOU AREN'T WAITING a pricedop. Your answer was if you were waiting. Don't even relates to my point that if you will pay fullprice a lot of people will do it fw instead of 20 weeks after. If you are waiting to buy used, rent or price dop sure it is different.

Driveclub back with a vengeance. All the patches are really helping word of mouth

Poor Order. Dropped was going to happen but still. Here's hoping the sequel does better if they do have one. Forza Horizon 2 going good though. Dying light could drop off the following week.

Great seeing FH2 with staying power, awesome game, well deserved. I wonder if Fast and Furious wI'll boost it even more.


Looks like the order might be 1 week and done, not much to extend the legs of the game.

Smaller than expected drop for The Order, given its poor reception. Cod: AW for the XBO saw a sudden increase (in rankings at least), any special reason for that?

Looks like the ps4 winstreak continues. Excellent drop for the order and if the gaf rumours are right it's likely the biggest individual launch this year. Great stuff.

Driveclub back with a bang and ps4 has more games charting than any other. The future is blue!
