XIII-2 is probably the biggest bomb of the year, even stuff like Rayman and Sniper Elite outsold it.
Okay. My guess is Steam sales have a huge impact on these numbers. The amount of sales during the multiple Steam sales each year has to be mind boggling

This is the first thing that hit me.
Lego:lotr sold more, but released November?
God damn.
That being said, I purchased FFXIII-2, and wish I hadn't.
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games 2014.
It came out in 2011.
That year it was #3:

What a flop, my God.
What a flop, my God.
Yup, just realised myself.
The sales may have been front loaded.
And yet they´re working on the next one.
Considering we know Nintendoland is around 50k, this means all those titles in top 100 did higher than 50k.
Being a multiplatform chart isn't as helpful as it would have been as an individual chart, but still...better than nothing.

WiiU software missing in action. Pokemon's fairly disappointing too given it's a DS release.

Insanity that Microsoft is pushing Forza 4 as hard as they are. I suppose it's good for the brand overall but I'd expect these to be the other way around. It's almost like they don't care about Forza Horizon.
Also shocking, given it's success in Germany (and I assume the whole mainland?)
lmao this can chart purely by selling at £5 in stock clearance sales
That is a damn shame... judging Diablo they're certainly not buying it on PC.

Great sales for Halo 4.

You should get some more numbers from past PAL Charts threads. I can't be arsed and you're better at it than me.
Would fill out the chart nicely.
Only came out mid-november and it's hardly the sort of game to sell gangbusters day one. Steady sales over time will be where that makes its sales.
nah, its nothing compared the main series

hitman isn't that much of a surprise, it was heavily discounted within a couple of weeks of release and heavily advertised. far cry 3 is a surprise though, I haven't seen a single ad and it only really dropped in price a week before christmas.

Those of my friends who did play it were disappointed with the size of the map, hated the party atmosphere and the lack of cars. Oh, and the apparently 'arcadey' physics. Only anecdotal, of course.
No X-Com is just disgraceful.

It hasn't been discounted much yet.
It's not really the sort of game I can see selling outside of Christmas. It has already vanished from UK chart in week one.

At first I was quite glad to see Hitman Absolute in fifth place, but then I remembered that the game went down to 25 pounds after like one week, and then it went further down to 20 pounds and was at 17.99 during lightning deals. Still, I hope the best for the developers.
Sniper Elite's a good game!
Wish SSX was a little higher. No place for PS All Stars either, oh dear. No X-COM really sucks too, hopefully it did better in the US?

Looking at that list, Hitman is the least of our crimes against taste.

Even if Sniper Elite was the game of the year, it's still proof of a bomb. Final Fantasy is an enormous franchise that has been around for a long time. Sniper Elite is a relatively unknown franchise with little advertising. I also assume FFXIII-2 has a way bigger budget. Those CG-cutscenes are amazing. I wonder if Square-Enix made a profit on XIII-2.
