Looks like there was a decent restock of XBones last week with Fifa shooting back up as well as CoD, Forza and DR3 improving.
Multi releases doing better on One this week
FIFA 14
Call of Duty: Ghosts
Multi releases dojng better on PS4 this week
Battlefield 4
Assassin' Creed IV: Black Flag
Need for Speed: Rivals.
This year's entrance barrier in top 40 seems to be much higher than usual. Not saying this because 3D World is 40th, but because there are titles like Need for Speed: Rivals with versions 20th, 29th, 36th and out of top 40, but the game is 7th in the All Formats charts, probably around 40k (given 10th is around 35k).

Look on the bright side Nintendo fans - 3D World sold more than Knack this week.

The UK charts in particular are always a thoroughly depressing sight. The state of gaming in this country, amongst the masses at least, is not good.
You could have the UK charts from Xmas 2009/10 and it would look very similar to how it is now. The same three or four games each and every year topping the charts for weeks on end, chief amongst them COD and FIFA.

It's too early to call the whole XBone / PS4 thing. We need both in plentiful stock before drawing any conclusions.
If I was restricted to the top 5 singles on iTunes, I'd never listen to music again.
Mainstream games in mainstream success shocker.

The same as the US charts then. And pretty much every Western country.

Heartbreaking. Hopefully this lights a fire under Nintendo's arse and they become more proactive in 2914.
What's depressing about it is that it isn't gameplay that sells, it's specific power fantasies. Being a soldier or a footballer, being an assassin. I think these games are mostly pretty good bar COD, but that's not the point. It's not really why they sell. Their content material is why they sell so much. That's what depresses me. Most of these people only care about games that already touch a sphere of experience that they're already interested in. They aren't interested in games themselves.

Probably due to the PS4 being out of stock.

Robo-Iwata 5000 will save Nintendo.
I reckon we might see N64 games on the WiiU Virtual Console by then. Just got to hope someone invents cryosleep soon...
They way Nintendo's going, it'll take until then for them to get a fucking clue.
2914 would be too late for Nintendo to get the arse up.
With the rate on how they're behind the curve 2914 sounds about right for them to put N64 and Gamecube games on their service.

Gah, bloody phone. Although with the pace Nintendo move, it's not entirely inaccurate...
Seriously, I hope they do something, anything with the Wii U next year...Enough of this complete indifference to how the U is performing.
A year headstart and they were outsold by both PS4 and X1 within a week or so of their individual release...

Hmm, interesting. Didn't realise these were official bundles but they are, just checked GAME's website and they're there.
Those, plus XB1 having more available stock, probably explain those two games charting higher on XB1.
