Hmm, PS4 sales in Germany and UK seem to be pretty close now, Germany had 2.8 in December and the UK passed 3.0 A month later. I think we had data at comparable dates sometime when it was 1.6 ger and around 2 in the UK if i remember correctly.
If that's the case, Germany is closing the gap, which in turn could also be the explanation why andrew house said last year that Germany was currently the biggest market for them in Europe, maybe he was talking about the past year or so instead of lifetime sales.

Black Ops 3 can't stop.

Do we have past February Cod numbers to compare?

Also factor in software, the UK is way closer between the two console, whereas in Germany Xbox games barely get in the top 100.

Primal doing excellent numbers, 70K+ in a week is fantastic, especially after reading through pages of doom and gloom "generic repetitive game" comments.
The game is excellent and I'm glad it's selling well.

Honestly, if Primal doesn't wake up companies that don't bother to market the game to show how that investment pays off, there's no hope for them. You can't even shit out a sequel these days without marketing because the general public won't know about it. Video game shops and print media aren't about to put it in peoples face from shelves anymore so unless people are looking for video game new specifically, they're not going to know about your game and the wonderful critical reception it got.

Black Ops 3 can't stop.

Sorry, the public chart for Black Ops II and Black Ops 1 stopped at week 13 for BO II and week 15 for BO1.

I can tell you that in 3 weeks of February 2011 Black Ops 1 has sold 101,270 unit, and Black Ops II 14,554 the first week of February 2013.

Of those 101,270 for BO1, 55,465 were sold on 360, 36,957 on PS3, 4,561 on Wii, and 3,619 on PC.
Of those 14,554 for BO2, 8,586 were sold on 360, 5,530 on PS3, 291 on PC, and 145 on Wii U.

That said, even if i can't confirmed this, it's pretty safe to say Black Ops III has sold less than the first Black Ops, but more than Black Ops II in the fourth month of sales at retail.

If we include digital, Black Ops 1 and Black Ops III must be really close.

Primal had a shit ton of TV advertising.

I don't know previous week placements.
 
Halo 5 much higher than any of the PS4 exclusives.

Biggest exclusive of the year, even with the decline in sales, so not that surprising. Although I am actually surprised it outsold both Assassins Creed and Battlefield Hardline, even with their own franchise fatigues, I'd have expected combined platform sales to push them ahead.

Dat RoTR bomba.

Sheesh, missed it the first time. Under God of War 3 remastered? Shitting hell!

I'm also surprised Nintendo did so poorly. I know they're struggling worldwide, but that's a really sad lack of high sellers even on the 3DS.

Worldwide, Splatoon has outsold Halo 5.

So no, not the bigger exclusives of the year, and there is a good chance Uncharted NDC or even Mario Maker outsold it.

We don't even Know if Halo is in TOP 3...

Destiny:TTK was the true bomba. Activision must be shitting themselves with Destiny 2. It'll probably out-bomb Halo 5.

Yes, that DLC pack that was cheaper to buy digitally due to it being an addon bombed when sold as a full game. Despite the base game doing quite well when it first came out facilitating those DLC sales, Activision have probably bought new pants!

Probably diamond studded ones with the Destiny money.

Halo is Second or Third in 2015.

Really? I'm surprised. Though actually given how ridiculous the legs on Splatoon are in Japan, if you told me it outsold H5 from there alone I'd believe you.

Well Splatoon legs aren't insane only in Japan. Look At France for example, it was the 4th bigger seller of the year, only under FIFA, BO III, and Star Wars For PS4.

I mean, in france Splatoon sold over 300K last year. For a comparation, Black Ops III For XBO has sold barely more than half ( 185k ).

Shipped+Digital? Absolutely.

And Sold? In Japan, Splatoon shipped 1.37m and SOLD 1.34m. The difference is nothing, i know is jp alone, but WW so You think is much difference? And even if we say Halo has sold more than Splatoon in 2015, which is unlucky but let's Say it, Halo is death.

Splatoon is still selling. No way Halo Beat Splatoon LT ( on XB1 at least).

Yeah, we just don't have any indication how Splatoon did digitally though as well. But Halo should be easily above 3 million physical worldwide.

Well, do we really need to know how well it did digitally alone? We already know shipments+digital for Splatoon is 4.06m.
 
Good job for Ubi with Far Cry.

I'm still a little puzzled why some thought it wouldn't do great when the game is a really mainstream and trusted franchise at this point.

Oh, sorry, thought the Splatoon number was just physical. In that case, Halo 5 probably is there or thereabouts.

Good job for Ubi with Far Cry.

I'm still a little puzzled why some thought it wouldn't do great when the game is a really mainstream and trusted franchise at this point.

Prior to this, Ubi didn't tend to push the spinoffs with any marketing. Blitzing this got it in front of people.

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
Ubisoft remain at No1 for a 2nd week thanks to &#8216;Far Cry Primal&#8217; and PS4/Xbox One console versions are joined by PC this week (-64%).

EA&#8217;s &#8216;Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2&#8217; (-54%) was the other Top 3 debutant from last week and this drops one place from No2 to No3. Jumping in between them to debut at No2 is Nintendo&#8217;s &#8216;The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD&#8217;, re-mastered for WiiU. Of course, the original Twilight Princess was a launch title for Wii back in week 49, 2006 (selling to 2/3rds of Wii hardware buyers that week). Twilight Princess was also released on Gamecube a week after the Wii came out, so this is in effect a third outing over 3 Nintendo consoles spanning 14 years (Gamecube 2002, Wii 2006, WiiU 2012).
Debuting at No8 is Sony&#8217;s Quantic Dream compilation &#8216;Heavy Rain & Beyond Two Souls&#8217; &#8211; both titles launched on PS3 back in 2010 and 2013 respectively. Heavy Rain in particular deserves a mention for sales success as the title ranks as the 4th best by revenue on PS3 in the UK, when ranked on titles by independent developers (No1 &#8216;Resistance Fall of Man&#8217; - Insomniac, No2 &#8216;L.A. Noire&#8217; &#8211; Team Bondi, No3 &#8216;Need for Speed Shift&#8217; - Slightly Mad Studios). The final new release within the Top 40 is Warner&#8217;s complete-with-all-DLC edition &#8216;Mortal Kombat XL&#8217; at No21.
