The UK heatwave continues, kids are all on holiday and there’s not a console new release in sight.

The overall market drops 3% units/revenue over last week and that means week 30 is the second lowest (units) so far this year and the lowest for revenue. Ubisoft’s ‘Watch Dogs’ (+3%) completes a double hat-trick of consecutive weeks at No1 (weeks 22-24 and weeks 28-30), now just 1 week away from equalling FIFA 14’s 7 weeks at No1 this year (12 weeks at No1 since launch). The aforementioned ‘FIFA 14’ from EA remains at No2 (+5%), Microsoft’s ‘Minecraft 360 Edition’ climbs three places to No3 (+4%) and 505 Games’ ‘Sniper Elite 3’ climbs one place to No4 (-6%).

The weeks big climber is Warner’s ‘The Lego Movie Videogame’ (+41%), climbing 7 places to No5 and benefitting from the campaign surrounding the launch this week of the movie on DVD/Blu-ray (out Monday 21st July). Sony’s ‘Minecraft PS3 Edition’ is now at No6 (-3%) and has climbed one place every week for the last 4 weeks. Elsewhere in the Top 40 EA’s ‘Skate 3’ (No25 / +17%) continues a remarkable return to the Top 40 (now stretching back 17 consecutive weeks) – the last time this title graced the Top 40 was almost 2 years ago and the game itself dates back to 2010. EA also have the highest re-entry at No31 with ‘Need for Speed: Rivals’ (+44%), benefitting from some price promotion activity.

Tomodachi rising to heaven.

 

[weeeeezy]

Titanfall is still charting, nice.

 

[CapHarlock]

Tomodachi rising to heaven.

Is this games picking up as a new cult following or is there just nothing else coming out and it's picking up only to fill the void?

 

[Man]

The Last of Us PS4 will arrive at the perfect time. There's thirst.

 

[Vashetti]

PS4 - 8
XBO - 5
WIU - 1
360 - 13
PS3 - 6
3DS - 4
NDS - 2

 

[Impeccable]

Titanfall is still charting, nice.

Epic legs, taking the video game world by storm.

 

[Aostia]

Minecraft, Watch Dogs, Tomodatchi and MK8 are the highliths to me.
Good to seee France still cheering Nintendo

 

[Welfare]

Is Titanfall still that high because the Titanfall bundle is still being sold, or does it just have legs?

 

[Flayer]

Titanfall is still charting, nice.

Only because it's packaged with almost every X1 sold.

I'm impressed by Watchdogs legs, mainly due to the smart release window. There's been nothing else to compete with it on the AAA game front since it released so it keeps picking up sales based on having no real competition.

 

[Bruno MB]

[panda-zebra]

It's advertised on kids TV several billion times a day. The ad with the girl in it must have worked wonders as she's back in a new one with her Dad and a boy she likes who's in a band, lol.

On a semi-related note, I actually witnessed a Vita ad this morning on either CITV or POP, showed tearaway, minecraft and a £149.00 price. Prepare for multiple re-entries on the platform next week

Spoiler

lolol

Not really tho. Its pretty much sold out everywhere and no longer a refreshed stock item by ms. the new kinect bundles come in august

 

[Foshy]

A bit of both.

Interesting. Has it even been dated for Vita yet? I can't remember.

 

[gogogow]

Lol, things don't work like that. People do need to be interested in it. It's most likely marketing and word of mouth.

 

[bequietdrive]

Lol, things don't work like that. People do need to be interested in it. It's most likely marketing and word of mouth.

And it's also summer holidays, hence re entry of other 3ds titles.

 

[Foshy]

It's coming out digitally in August, while the retail edition is hitting "later" iirc

 

[Rand6]

Only because it's packaged with almost every X1 sold.

Yep.

I'm more impressed with this amazon.uk charts : http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/bestsellers/videogames/ref=sv_vg_h__12

I know it's only Amazon, but it looks like Destiny Xbox One might outsell the PS4 version. At least in UK.

 

[Kyoufu]

Yep.

That's not going to happen though, and it's pretty silly to assume so by looking at that chart.

 

[iceatcs]

Yep.

What's so impressed about it?

All look similar to chart-track apart from unrelease games.

Titanfall Bundle

Yep.

I don't think so, Tim

Yeah the fake pre-orders for both versions to get the beta codes are really impressive

 

[ferrasvansen]

No chance, check the archive for the year Destiny on ps4 is 12th overall and on xbox one it's only 31st.

 

[Man]

I know it's only Amazon, but it looks like Destiny Xbox One might outsell the PS4 version. At least in UK.

Do you believe your own words?

 

[RiggyRob]

Come oooooooon, I wanna see Tomodachi Life be No.1 in all regions of Europe.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

Yep.

If only we had a chart that would represent the entire year of preorders...

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Aw, Watch dogs is up 3%, guess that means no sub 10,000 number 1 in all formats for the second weakest sales of the year.

Didn't think I would see Tomodachi life beating out the PS4 version of Watch Dogs...well when it comes to value is loses out but is still number 2.

 

[EGOMON]

Waiting for mainland charts

 

[dead monkey uk]

Yep.

Well done on the most quoted post of the day

The higher install base and PS4 marketing (extra content) will result in a big lead for the PS4 version. I would not be surprised if Destiny sells 2:1 on Playstation 4 in the UK.

 

[Son of Sam]

Only because it's packaged with almost every X1 sold.

Do you know this as fact or are you just saying this to kill any type of goodwill Titanfall has in the UK? Seriously.

Game is awesome. It deserves to have legs.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

03 (05) 3DS TOMODACHI LIFE (NINTENDO)

3DS continues to prove companies wrong.

 

[Brutalitops]

Do you know this as fact or are you just saying this to kill any type of goodwill Titanfall has in the UK? Seriously.

I love the game, but without the bundles I dont think it would have legs even close to what it does now. Would probably hover around the 15-20 mark

 

[Percy]

If only we had a chart that would represent the entire year of preorders...

lol, damn.

 

[flipswitch]

Watch Dogs PS4 (4th) to Xbox One (36th). Wouldn't have expected this before the launch.

 

[panda-zebra]

Really?

Interesting. Has it even been dated for Vita yet? I can't remember.

Can't offer any more than that, sorry. Googled a bit and no sign of the ad anywhere. As for the ad itself, tbh it left me sighing, it didn't feel well-judged in its execution, more like what a team of suits think kids might jump up and down in front of the TV shouting "want that!" than will actually be the case. Shame. I will point out, though, that my 3yo son did in fact jump out of his chair shouting "playstation! playstation daddy!" but I think that says more about the novelty of a ps TV ad and the eyebrow-raising imprint my gaming activities are having on him than anything. He didn't even comment on the "frobisher machine" as he calls it, just the word "playstation".

Sorry for off topic, the charts are dull as the weather is not.

 

[freefornow]

Titanfall Bundle

Can Titanfall not be bought as a game at retail in the UK?

Xbox family for the win!!

Spoiler

LOL

 

[Bundy]

Can Titanfall not be bought as a game at retail in the UK?

Of course!

 

[freefornow]

Of course!

Then how do we know that bundles are pushing sales? Thought the XB One was selling poorly.

 

[Brakara]

Watch Dogs PS4 (4th) to Xbox One (36th). Wouldn't have expected this before the launch.

Pretty sure the Xbox One Titanfall sales have something to do with it.

 

[JAYSIMPLE]

Do we know any where on the high street that still sells the titanfall bundles xbox one. I can't find one anywhere.

 

[Bundy]

Then how do we know that bundles are pushing sales?

Mainly "common sense"

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Do you know this as fact or are you just saying this to kill any type of goodwill Titanfall has in the UK? Seriously.

Game is awesome. It deserves to have legs.

Just look at the chart its obvious the only reason it is on there is because its a bundle. There is no other X1 game within the top 20. Its clearly just being afforded the weekly sales it gets from bundling. Meanwhile the 360 version is lagging far far behind which wouldn't be the case if the IP was strong.

Is Watch Dogs being bundled with PS4? The PS3 version is lagging far far behind?

 

[Kyoufu]

The TitanFall bundle is just a much better value proposition than the standalone Kinect-less SKU in the UK. Most TF sales certainly look like they're from bundles.

Not saying that's a bad thing, but common sense would suggest bundles make up a large percentage of sales.

 

[Syntsui]

It still boggles my mind why people buy a ''game'' like Tomodachi.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

It still boggles my mind why people buy a ''game'' like Tomodachi.

Because it's fun?

 

[Carl]

Elsewhere in the Top 40 EA’s ‘Skate 3’ (No25 / +17%) continues a remarkable return to the Top 40 (now stretching back 17 consecutive weeks) – the last time this title graced the Top 40 was almost 2 years ago

Crazy!

 

[kinoki]

Is Watch Dogs being bundled with PS4? The PS3 version is lagging far far behind?

PS3 has a smaller install base and its version of Watch Dogs still outperform the XBO-version by quite the margin. So, it's not lagging behind all that much. So, the PS3 version of Watch Dogs is at #13 and the XBO version of Titanfall is at #17. The question that needs to be asked is: if the XBO version of Titanfall is removed from bundles would the 360 version be the best selling version?
