XboneS promotions this week means bundled titles saw increases.

Mario & Rabbids is higher than where I thought it would be launch week. Perhaps my expectations were a bit low-ish.

1. Guess the disappointment of the first game effected the sequel.

2. Which is why the Knack jokes weren't funny in the first place, also I think it originated from the UK where the first game outsold Super Mario 3D World on the first week( 3D World outsold Knack right after that).

While bundles did help in this, this is still impressive not even the other Forza games didn't chart this high when the next game comes out in less than a month.

According to the write-up it is due to retailer promotion on Xbox One S with which FH3 was bundled.

Wow, never knew until I read this that Destiny 2 was online-only. It also looks like Knack 2 couldn't live up to the memes.

Not surprising - Destiny was a let down to a lot of people. That and the rise of digital in the past 3 years.

Kinda sad when they have to result to fake charts just to hate more on Knack.

They used Knack 2 preorders from the same week last year instead to make it more fair on the rest. Even before Knack 2's announcement.

huge drop for Destiny 2 from the original. i can see Destiny 3 growing from Destiny 2 but i think Destiny 1 will always have the biggest release

Yeh I cannot help but think that Player Unknown is going to fill a bit of a void for an apetite for first person shooters this holiday season.
