UK seems to be the only area where Call of Duty is above Battlefield 1, everywhere else BF1 is beating it.

Activision should have known that the massive disliking on Youtube actually meant something.

That was a hell of a come back from both Watch Dogs 2 and Steep. Surprised to see Dishonored 2 and Titanfall 2 that low.
Also, with all data already shared in this thread about FF XV sales compared to XIII, I don't think the sales are disappointing. Lower than XIII but still not the tremendous drop we've seen in other games.

Nobody noticed the Pokemon bump? Wasn't there enough stock past weeks?

The blog post spells out exactly what happened which is why there's not much discussion.

‘Pokemon Sun’ (+91%) leaves ‘Pokemon Moon’ (-19%) in the shade as renewed stock gives it a boost ahead of its sister title

This is Watch Dogs 2 for last week of November.

06 (02) WATCH DOGS 2 (UBISOFT) - 81,900 / 159,900 [+5%]

You said it is close to 400k... so that means in December Watch Dogs 2 did less than 240k???

Ooops, missed that. Thanks.

Cod really bomb across Europe, BF 1 showing better legs and sales I say damn!

Infinite Warfare has killed the franchise, only Treyarch can save it now unless Sledgehammer Games puts out a remarkable game.

Activision must be hitting the panic button right now.

 

[xrnzaaas]

TLG finally beats DR4. ;p

Didn't it beat it last week too?

People are just happy it is still on the chart. Yes, we know, it doesn't necessarily mean good sales but still.

By all means, I expected it to vanish from Earth after the first week.

 

[Hasney]

Weird thought considering the blue dude came from Forza's sales.

 

[HStallion]

Considering the kind of game it is in the season released with the kind of competition from new games as well as sales on older very popular titles I think its pretty decent.

Btw this is the first week since the release that COD IW is on top of BF1 as most played on Xbox.

[tattooed_dwarf]

I think for most who use SonyGAF don't use it as in "GAF is sony biased fanboys" but rather use it to describe that part of GAF which have clear preference on Sony consoles. And there's nothing wrong with that. Of course there are those with persecution complex and they use it to mock others, but they are small, albeit sometimes very loud minority.

 

[timberger]

TLG holding on is surprising. Pleasantly so, of course.

Oops, soz... forgot saying anything too positive about TLG is apparently "pro-Sony spin"

just the uk, tho
us BF1 is still ahead

people say sonygaf, because here on gaf are way more sony fany than xbox fans
ofc its meant to be an insult, but there is truth in it

people in general like to generalize. that's probably why

Well he was talking about EU.

Really? I feel like there are more vocal and loud nintendo fans around here

hmm maybe ture. thought the discussion was about playstation vs xbox only
this is to much off topic now

Well he was talking about EU.

germany, france, sweden, spain, italy, poland and NL neither

so it's really JUST the UK market

Basically, same with VitaGaf, AnimeGaf or PopGaf.

It's not exclusively of Sony games, it happened some years ago with Nintendo on MediaCreate threads with itprintsmoney.gif or JapanisNintendoLand.jpg over and over again.
Only I would like more discussion on first pages or, at least, not see same gifs for 45th time.

Spoiler

I'm preparing for Knack dancing gif come back this year.

 

[mckmas8808]

Seriously why is GTAV still selling?

- It's not very good
- It's four years old
- Who seriously hasn't played it who wanted it?

It actually is objectively good. It just not be for you and that's fine.

 

[Bruno MB]

Probably...

But he is comparing FFXIII (4 weeks 235k) vs FFXV (6 weeks < 250k) on retail.

We can only hope GFK publish the TOP20 2016 best seller to have a better ideia.

Top 20? Final Fantasy XV won't make it into the top 20 with less than 250,000 units.

where is the yearly chart? though we would get something last week already

Yearly report should be in this week's issue of MCV magazine.

600K combined, pretty good result. I guess, if we include PC numbers, then BF1 should be ~ 1M just in Germany alone.

I will post the UK yearly chart thread soon, here is a preview:

Top 50 cut off is < 100,000 (Steep hadn't reached 100,000 units as of week 52, 2016)
Top 25 cut off is < 250,000 (Rocket League reached 250,000 in week 1, 2017)

2015?

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

FFXV > 250k in UK and >200k in Germany already. How does that compare to FF13?

 

[Zedark]

FFXV > 250k in UK and >200k in Germany already. How does that compare to FF13?

FFXV is under 250k right now. In German, FFXIII reached >200k in september 2010, so after six months, while FFXV reached >200k in just over 1 month (end of december).

I was about to say 'poor Deus Ex' but I continued checking the list and oh boy there are so many underperformances in that list that it's depressing.
Still, very interesting preview. Really looking forward to your OT, Bruno

thank you Bruno as always.

Can we know how many multiplatform titles did better on XO then PS4? ( i am assuming that the order of the console infront of the title is not according to the sales)

Most of JP games become irrelevant out-GAF, cruel reality.

 

[pswii60]

What shocking taste in games we (the UK) have. Where are all the Japanese developed games?

Where are they in any Western chart? Aside from launch weeks/months when the fans and early adopters buy them they (sadly) typically disappear off the radar very quickly.

 

[Bruno MB]

What shocking taste in games we (the UK) have. Where are all the Japanese developed games?

Which other Japanese games were you expecting to chart in a top 50 yearly all format chart? If I exclude Pokémon, Final Fantasy and Dark Souls I don't see any other Japanese game that had the potential to get close to 100,000 units.

Even a big profile title like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided barely made it in to the top 50.
