these PAL threads are becoming deader than dead.

anything interesting releasing in upcoming weeks?

Last week was released Far Cry Primal. I figure out that it must have been the best-selling title of the week, no idea if it also was the best-selling title of the year because Lego Marvel Avengers sold around 50,000 - 60,000 units. And we will see if Bravely Second: End Layer at least charted in the individual formats top 40.

In March we have the next upcoming big title, Tom Clancy's The Division which should have one of the biggest openings for an Ubisoft title (Watch Dogs holds the record with near 390,000 units).

I'm curious to see Street Fighter V second week sales, even with a harsh drop it still should make it the all formats top 10.

Bravely Twelfth.

 

[Pankratous]

Far Cry Primal charted?

Genuinely surprised. No hype at all.

 

[Kyonashi]

Also Knack is back. #25.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Far Cry Primal charted?

Genuinely surprised. No hype at all.

...Seriusly? I understand if you thought it would not be first ( even in that case, this could be very unlucky), but not ever charted?????

 

[noobie]

Also Knack is back. #25.

where?
no new chart yet...

 

[Rymuth]

The #1 spot must feel pretty uncomfortable for Primal, given the permanent buttprint COD has left on the cushion.

Two brand new releases fly to the head of the UK All Formats charts.

Far Cry Primal shoots to No.1, marking Ubisoft’s first top spot of the year. Games in the Far Cry series normally launch in the busy Q4 period.

GfK notes that this is the first entry in the series to come out outside of Q4 release window since the original game launched on PC.

Meanwhile, EA’s Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 starts off life in second place.

EA football title FIFA 16 holds onto third place despite a 38 per cent dip in sales while after eleven weeks at No.1, Call of Duty: Black Ops III falls to fourth place with units sold dipping 51 per cent.

Last week’s No.2, Street Fighter V, falls to tenth place with sales dropping 78 per cent. Outside of the Top Ten, Nintendo’s Bravely Second: End Layer debuts at No.12.

Below is the software Top Ten for the week ending February 27th:

1. Far Cry Primal, Ubisoft
2. Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, EA
3. FIFA 16, EA
4. Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Activision Blizzard
5. Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar
6. LEGO Marvel’s Avengers, Warner Bros
7. Star Wars Battlefront, EA
8. Fallout 4, Bethesda
9. Rainbow Six: Siege, Ubisoft
10. Street Fighter V, Capcom

10 (02) STREET FIGHTER V (CAPCOM) < 5,300 (-78%)

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Jesus Christ at that SF5 drop.

Not shocked Primal was able to grab the top spot even with little to no hype.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Nothing but deserved for SFV. Im still pissed off about it.

 

[Kyonashi]

where?
no new chart yet...

I get the chart sent to me. Obviously can't share *too* much.

 

[mnz]

10 (02) STREET FIGHTER V (CAPCOM) < 5,300 (-78%)

That's terrible. I feel like it's more than just the barebones launch, too. Seems like only the hardcore players bought it and that's it.

 

[casiopao]

They are going to see a bit of a sales surge after each big tournament Im sure.

Is that worth the backlash and possible the product being sell on lower price which can lower the profitability?

 

[Ryng_tolu]

If my estimate are correct, PVZ is >19,650 at least.

 

[Footos22]

Glad its not selling well with the pathetic amount of content.

Even more so in that it'll be next to nothing in a couple of weeks and i shall then pick it up myself. just in time for the next update.

Opted for gravity rush, beyond and heavy rain remaster instead this month.

can you give number range to No. 10 title?

 

[viHuGi]

Call of Duty sales in January, UK.

[2013] Black Ops II - 68,066
[2016] Black Ops III - 112,902

...And this is retail only. no digital, which is of course way better on BO III... :O

That's insane. Black Ops II launch was waaaaaaaaaaay bigger, but those Black Ops III legs are amazing.

Damn legs man! With Digital should be well over 2.5m already and on its way to 3m.

 

[Hasney]

Far Cry Primal charted?

Genuinely surprised. No hype at all.

Every single football match had an advert in every break. That does a lot.

Nice work from PvZ2. Happy to see it.

Dont wish ill on anyone trying to earn a living, but I also dont want games to start doing this as standard to 'get it out'.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Damn legs man! With Digital should be well over 2.5m already and on its way to 3m.

Black Ops III is at 2.06 million at retail by now... Yup, with digital should be over 2.5 million.

Can't say how much was Black Ops II in the same period ( 17 weeks after launch), but in the week 13, Black Ops II sold 2.77 million lifetime at retail,

The gap isn't that big all considering.
