Madden opened slightly less on both platforms that last year's, but it'll probably end up being about the same overall. Interesting since there are more of both platforms in the wild.

Uncharted did 1/7th of 4's US opening. Jeez. But, wasn't it also available as DLC for 4, or is it only stand alone?

I think Uncharted LL's numbers are partly explained by the fact that the game is free to download with the UC4 season pass. It's also included in UC4 deluxe edition, explorer's pack and triple pack.

Still, the numbers aren't too great. Which is a bit funny since it's a better game than UC4 imo.

Oh, that's why I thought it was DLC somehow. I forgot about the season pass. It launched for $40 in the US, if I recall, and is already down to $30 on Amazon. Honestly, they shouldn't have included it with the season pass since it really is a stand-alone game. There's no way they made the usual Naughty Dog profits on it.

Agreed. Especially, when you consider that many people got the game as DLC for only $20 (deluxe edition) or $25 (triple pack and explorer's pack).

Honestly, it's worth more than a launch price of $20 but I don't complain.

Well the retail copy and digital is like .. 40$ right(it's on a sale right now on PSN though). So if we assume that the devs think the campaign is 20$ of that, and that the multiplayer add ons are the other 20$, then they're still making back healthy profit because the money they're getting off multiplayer add ons come from a development fund much much significantly smaller than the campaign's. 

Or am I stupid?

Is this a trap?



Well... Uncharted TLL did great in UK, actually just a little bit below USA



Can't wait to see how Mario + Rabbids did.

Has Ubisoft said anything about it themselves?
