I'm surprised how far down that list Dragon Age and Pokemon games were...maybe because they were released later in the year?
I'm surprised Smash outsold MK8.

100. LEGO PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
So Bayonetta 2 was outsold by a 3 year old LEGO game?
Hang your heads in shame Wii U owners.
Its also on PC.
And besides I don't know what you guys are talking about, the top exclusive game on that list is Minecraft: Xbox edition, and we all know the Xbox edition is exclusive to Xbox
It's the UK. What did you expect?
It came out in 2013.
Bundling a new IP normally plays out one of two ways:
If game is good and liked the bundling garners it a bigger install base that it might otherwise have gotten and generally subsequent entries will sell very well without bundling
If the game is weak or simply doesn't "click" with majority then it was never going to succed and the IP will wither whatever happens.
Bundling rarely results in a market that then waits for future bundles but it can artificially inflate how popular a game seems.
At this point it feels like word of mouth on Driveclub has been very good since they switched on challenges and released weather patch so unless the Plus edition aides lots of issues I think the IP will have benefitted from bundling.
I also think DC would have struggled without bundles due to the technical issues plaguing it at launch.

Two COD titles in the top 10
The Crew above Smash Bros or Mario Kart
Gamers, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER.
It's the UK. What did you expect?
But even then its sales were only estimated around 50,000 in the first week, then dropped 37% in the second week, so its UK sales have been poor. Like Wax says, it probably barely did 100k in December '13.It came out in 2013.
Having two COD games in the top 10 is just too much.
It came out in 2013.
