So UC4 did not bring in the money ?
Plus there other mid tier games.
MS games have not being doing that great in the 2 countries they are strong in .
We have to wait and see but it going to be interesting in how much gears sell.

I never said they didn't have any. I said I would like to see an increase in their big name franchises, overall, just like I would like to see MS have more variety in their catalog. Both are doing very well in certain areas while not great in others. It will be an interesting couple of months, for sure.
It won't be that interesting, PS4 will continue to outsell the XB1 and I can't see that changing until at least Scorpio. That's just talking about the UK too, in Europe the gap will just be larger.
The only difference between Sony and MS this year in terms of big titles is ONE timed exclusive. I really don't see how that makes much of a difference.

SE really should have localized it sooner. I think it could have done decently during quiet gaming period seeing how positive the reviews are. Now it will be just forgotten in a week when holiday onslaught is upon us..

I'm looking forward to DQB performance. I already know the drop will be big though. Gears 4 should be interesting too.
I think that is what it boils down to as well. If Sony just announced releases dates that they were absolutely sure of, suddenly it comes off as, "Oh, Sony is doing good with releases dates. They announce them for that Q1 period and that is when they usually hit". As you said, the problem is just coming from Sony announcing dates too early and having to delay. That is where the perception problem is coming from.
MS doesn't have this problem because they don't announce their big titles for the spring period at all. So, they don't have to announce delays (they have for some of their spring stuff like Scalebound though but yeah). They already know fall is the best release period for them and they stick with it through and through.
If Sony is going to stick with Q1, commit to it. Have that period be the goal for the bulk of your titles and only put 1 or 2 titles that you know can hit fall in fall. Basically, keep doing what you did with Bloodborne, Sony.
Knock me down to 115k, s'il vous plait

It would be quite something and totally ironic if TR did beat Gears to no1 for real but that's never happening.

This is a strange thing because I don't actually think MS games have performed better on the whole vs Sony first party titles.

Must have missed mine. I think I posted 135k, but I'll change it to 125k.
Apologies! Added you in now.

I just learned that two staff members of MCV Christopher Dring (editor) and Ben Parfitt (associate editor) are parting ways with MCV.
It seems the staff is being dismantled. I hope the future of this publication is not in danger because it is a very valuable source for those we follow the UK video game market. All data I post such as weekly overall sales and monthly charts are taken from their magazine.
My prediction: 130,000

I'll stick with 115k but can't shake this feeling its sub 100k and slipped to just another largish game. Not that sub 100 is bad on its own.

1. FIFA 17 - 105,000 (-55%)
2. Gears of War 4
3. Mafia III - 55,000 (-54%)
4. ‘WWE 2K17’
5. Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 year edition
Gears of War 4 may have missed 100,000 mark and Mafia III had a great second week drop.
Last week 63% of Mafia III sales were for PlayStation 4 SKU, this means that if this week the split was similar Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 year edition would be over 34,000 units. It may have outsold the original Rise of the Tomb Raider launch for Xbox One (36,000).
Woah.

Gears selling less than 100k really shows how much MS IP have drop in the UK.
To think UC4 out sold both Halo and Gears 4 first week .
To think UC4 out sold both Halo and Gears 4 first week .
Wasn't Rise at 48k? My memory might be wrong but that's the number that stuck with me.
12K on 360 I believe.
I'm surprised anyone's surprised at Gears numbers. Halo 5 sold 150k. Even with more consoles, nothings going to touch that until a new Halo.
What a strange post.
For a launch line up with that many games pulling you off in directions and retail being the same price as digital, yeah, I'm surprised to see any in the top 10.

to put it into perspective, we live in a world where No Mans Sky sold more then Gears of War in its debut week.
We live in a world where No Mans Sky has outsold almost every major first party game bar Uncharted 4 this generation, so yeah, that was always going to be the case.

Yeah but this is Gears of War, the last mainline entry sold 300k+its their second biggest franchise.

Godammit that Gears "number" is horrid. Like I held strong with my prediction despite my anecdote but felt I was overshooting it after that. Almost unimaginable to think Xbox 2nd biggest franchise sells under 100k first week.
Mind blown. That's not good. Despite a resurgence from the format as well.

Microsoft might have to start looking for a new flagship franchise. Gone seem to be the days of Halo,Gears and Fable(RIP) pulling the Xbox wagon.
I assumed the 1.2 active players were global numbers not UK only.
