Yep, almost no advertising at all for LBP after E3, some game breaking bugs (released too early) and a release date together with the biggest blockbusters of the year. Not surprising at all. Sony sucks. :(
Hopefully dev costs were low.

priced to die, which is a damn shame tbh I love LBP

Yeah LBP3 seems to be £40+ everywhere, just too expensive. Its currently more expensive than all the other new releases GTA5, Far Cry 4 etc. Its a shame Sony did not sell it for around £30 and build the community on PS4. But the game will probably sell ok with Christmas console bundles.

wasnt that online bundle with game inside the box, that doesnt count right? At least Amazon one was original bundle. I guess they must have bundled it together with PS4 standalone sales in stores as well.

Driveclub?

The bundle I got was from GAME - £300 for black PS4 + Driveclub (physical) + TLOU (download).

They have to recoup hardware losses somewhere. The model seems to be a rerun of early PS3, just with a smaller hardware subsidy. As Aquamarine has said plenty of times there are enough powerful voices within MS and among investors that want to dump Xbox, Phil needs to show that gaming can be profitable long term which means growing software and licencing revenues. If he keeps giving away first party software with low price bundles that is never going to happen and the board will decide to pull the plug.

well that makes little sense when they bundled every game they have in past few months, and dropped the price to $329 in the US with games bundled.

It is likely that they have less bundles in UK since PS4 does too. But overall, i very much doubt Xbox is making them money at these prices and these software titles that they are bundling.

The Black Friday sales event shakes up the All Formats Chart this week, propelling ‘Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’ (+110%) back to the top.

It's up from No3 and switches places with last week’s No1 ‘GTA V’ (-64%). As sales of the PS4 and Xbox One versions of GTA V drop off in their second week of release, it is the previous generation versions of ‘Call of Duty’ (Xbox 360 and PS3) that take advantage. 67% of COD sales this week are on the older console formats, whereas at launch it was a 68% share for PS4 and Xbox One. Sales of ‘Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’ this week are the largest ever for any title in a Black Friday week. ‘FIFA 15’ (+84%) also benefits from the shopping frenzy, climbing from No4 to No2, just pipping GTA by 1,500 units. Down from No2 to No4, ‘Far Cry 4’ (-54%) remains Ubisoft’s top selling game this week despite competition from ‘Assassin’s Creed: Unity’ (+28%) up from No6 to No5, boosted by strong promotions on the Xbox One console hardware bundles.

‘Pokémon Omega Ruby’ is the highest new entry this week at No7, one place and 2,400 sales ahead of sister title ‘Pokémon Alpha Sapphire’. Combined, the new Pokémon titles would have charted at No3. Last year’s Pokémon X and Y debuted at No’s 3 and 4 respectively, however sales of the new Alpha and Omega games better them by 17%. Combined they also become the biggest Pokémon launch ever, beating previous best Pokémon Black and White Versions on DS back in 2011. Sony’s ‘Driveclub’ (+999%) speeds back up the chart from No33 to No8 thanks to massive sales on the Black Friday promoted PS4 console hardware bundle. Like its successor ‘Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag’ (+353%) benefits from the upsurge in sales of the Xbox One hardware bundle, pushing it from No18 to No9. ‘Minecraft: Xbox Edition’ (+184%) re-enters the Top 10 at No10 boosted by the release of the Xbox One Edition. There are a large number of Black Friday promotions across the Top 40 including ‘Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor’ (+128%) at No11 and ‘Disney Infinity 2.0’ (+140%) at No14, among many others.

‘Super Smash Bros.’ (+560%) jumps from No27 to No13 with its launch this week on Wii U alongside the new compatible Amiibo figures. In amongst all the heavily promoted Black Friday titles ‘LittleBigPlanet 3’ manages to make a debut at No18.

Not really, it's like what zomg said.

Other than places like Brazil and Japan, MS's action of not bundling MCC means they want MCC to actually make a profit.

They're confident enough for that game to sell systems without needing to bundle it.

Seems that confidence was misplaced, but that explanation makes sense.

Damn, last gen AWs doing much better than current gen now. Think those offers really helped.

It's been like this for most cross-gen titles. Stronger start on new consoles, and then eventually old consoles versions do better. Install bases and all that.

Game had the day Zero editions for £24.99. Sure there were more knocking about.

Only for old gen or all versions?
Also...insane deal for a title around one month old. And on the "supposedly" special edition.

EDIT: Big drop for Unity on PS4 (from 6th to 21st)

Man that's a huge drop for AssCreed. If it wasn't for the XBone bundle it would have been much, much worse.

Smash on WiiU seems a poor debut. Didn't see any WiiU promotions or ads over the BF weekend either. That's more worrying than the lack of LBP sales IMO, which was always going to have subpar sales. Especially with little promotion.

CoD:AW 225,695 (PS3+360 - 151,216 // PS4+XB1 - 74,479)
FIFA 15 153,357
Click to expand...

Also, we have that FIFA 15 sold 1,500 copies more than GTAV this week. Thus:

GTAV Second Week - 151,857
GTAV First Week - 421,825

GTAV LTD - 573,682

...Holy shit, GTAV's first week was much bigger than what I thought (between 200,000 and 300,000 considering Weyland's hints) O__O
