Well, it seems my initial impression was right then.

Yeah, it's an obvious number 1 so hopefully we get some context. I fear it's going to be only a greater than whatever FIFA is though.
AC Bundles probably did great.

What have the deals been like this past week? Haven't really paid that much attention to HUKD.
And of course AssCreed will blaze to number one. 57/43 split is my guess.

The PS4 had a price drop.
Heh, went to Hot UK Deals to see where the best PS4s were to see if there's any effect and they're all from abroad this week. One deal in Game for Ass Creed, Watch Dogs, Uncharted and Driveclub for £300, but HMV Ireland beat them by over £20 without Driveclub and it would be easy enough to get Driveclub cheaper.

Yeah, I meant deals on bundles and the like.
Price drops are usually accompanied by some killer deals. Although it wouldn't surprise me if retailers are holding out until next month before unleashing the crazy bundles.
Now that's what I'm talking about. Not a bad deal at all if importing isn't your thing.

Didn't contribute to the third place of DQ Heroes in France because digital, but that's sweet, my dear compatriots
So based on my calculations from Brunos numbers:
[Week 46, 2007] ASSASSIN'S CREED (UBISOFT) - 156,000 / NEW (90%)
[Week 47, 2009] ASSASSIN'S CREED II (UBISOFT) - 175,000 / NEW (90%)
[Week 46, 2010] ASSASSIN'S CREED: BROTHERHOOD (UBISOFT) - 228,500 / NEW (90%)
[Week 46, 2011] ASSASSIN'S CREED: REVELATIONS (UBISOFT) - 238,000 / NEW (90%)
[Week 44, 2012] ASSASSIN'S CREED III (UBISOFT) - 355,000 / NEW (90%)
[Week 44, 2013] ASSASSIN'S CREED IV: BLACK FLAG (UBISOFT) - 128,000 / NEW (90%)
[Week 46, 2014] ASSASSIN'S CREED: UNITY (UBISOFT) - 153,000 / NEW (95%)
[Week 46, 2014] ASSASSIN'S CREED: ROGUE (UBISOFT) -
[Week 43, 2015] ASSASSIN'S CREED: SYNDICATE (UBISOFT) 50,484 - 128,000
50,484 low end is FIFAs numbers with the 16% drop. Shame we don't know Rogues numbers.
EDIT: Christ, seeing Watch Dogs jump up that much makes me wish we knew AC numbers without bundles.

Bye bye PS4 jRPGs.
Zelda bombed and rightly so.

Yup
New individual formats chart: http://www.chart-track.co.uk/index.jsp?c=p/software/uk/latest/index_test.jsp&ct=110032
While being heavily bundled with the bundles selling enough to shove Watch Dogs in at number 12. It can't have done well at all.
All the official AC bundles came with Watch Dogs as well, so anyone who picked that one up would have gotten a copy. Lucky them!
128,000 is the ceiling for Syndicate, the range is quite wide.

Treating an IP like an annual cash cow with blatant disregard for quality control is finally starting to take its toll on the Assassin's Creed franchise.
I think a lot of that is to do with the 360 to PS4 switchers this gen. There's no way I'll consider Rock Band until I get an XB1. Muh DLC!

Sony Europe is also incredibly bad at handling Rock Band DLC. In Europe, the last-gen to current-gen DLC compatibility is basically an Xbox exclusive feature and there's a lot of Xbox exclusive DLC now, because SCEE is fucking incompetent.
SCEA has done fine with Rock Band DLC, so you should get the game from US PSN if you want Rock Band on PS4.
Even then I think it's going to depend on deals. Black Ops 3 and Star Wars bundles at the same RRP will probably prove more popular.
Christ, I didn't even know this. I just didn't want to get it on PS4 as I have loads of XBox DLC as well as 2 games exported and 2 coming in Lego and 3.
If only they were on 3ds or wait is it NX now?
Isn't that how the co-marketing broke down? At least here in the U.S. Sony advertised guitar hero and MS Rock band.

All those Japanese games gone as fast as they appeared. Sad.
And Until Dawn is out.

One can only hope that the less than stellar performance for Syndicate will force Ubi to re-evaluate putting out a new game every single goddamn year.
Alternate it for fuck sake. One year Watch Dogs, one year AssCreed, one year Beyond Good and Evil, one year Prince of Persia...

Looks like the Game bundle sold pretty well with DC back in the charts at 29.
And what caused the bump for Mainline 6? Deals?

No idea, but as someone laid it out, SCEE have fumbled DLC.

Did those jrpgs sold a good amount in Japan? With those sales I wonder why they even bother releasing it physically, a digital only release could probably be more lucrative.
Yeah, should have added the caveat that it'll do well if the franchise fatigue isn't too great.
At this point it seems like it. Almost no one on my friends list was playing it over the weekend which usually isn't the case when a big AAA game comes out.
Anecdotal and all but yeah.

DQ Heroes sold really well in Japan (around 800k; 1m in all Asian territories). D5 bombed hard in Japan as well; Zestiria sold well but lower than previous entries on PS3.
Forza was down to £35 in a couple of places, but bundles we had a Forza/FIFA bundle for under £290 and for £300, the Forza 6 1TB bundle with another game from a choice of 10.
