COD CONQUERS

22/Feb/2016

Activision’s ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops III’ (-25%) takes an 11th week at No1 since launch, with 7 of the first 6 weeks of this year (‘Lego Marvel Avengers’ was No1 in week 4).

No other Call of Duty title has claimed this many No1’s on the All Formats Chart, previous record being ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’ back in 2009 with 9 No1’s (although all 9 were consecutive). The all-time record remains ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’ with 18 weeks All Format No1’s back in 2000 & 2001 (published back then by Eidos). Debuting at No2 is a first Gen 8 outing for a game series that has been around since the late 80’s: Capcom’s ‘Street Fighter V’ launches on PS4 and PC. The previous version of this series ‘Street Fighter IV’ debuted back in 2009 on 360/PS3/PC and remains the benchmark in terms of week 1 sell-through.

EA remain at No3 with ‘FIFA 16’ (+65%) and sales for this title (and many others) are up markedly over half term week. The only other new entry this week also makes the Top 10 and that is Nintendo’s 3DS ‘Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon’ at No9.

SF V behind COD, franchise fatigue?

Well, the game is lacking in modes at the moment and pretty much exclusive to the PS4 at retail since most PC players will probably buy the game digital if they do.

Does anyone know what Street Fighter IV sold FW?

Street Bomba V

Bombaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


okay.. i mean, i didnt expect this to sell well. but still, it bombed!

anyone know exact figures? or a ball park at least?

First Week comparation

Mortal Kombat X (PS4) > 39,500
Mortal Kombat X (XBO) > 24,600

Streeth Fighter V

That's a terrible opening for SFV.

I hope Pokemon Mystery Dungeon stays for a long time on the chart.

Also, how on Earth did Who Wants to be a Millonaire stay on the 1st place for so long? 18 weeks? That's amazing.

You know what? Capcom should have done a player survey in January "We can't release the story mode with the game in February so we want to know what people want: release the content we have, and you get a DL code to download the story mode for free when it's ready in a few more months, or delay the whole game for a few months."

Then let the consumer decide.
