Battlefield Secures Fourth Crown

EA’s ‘Battlefield Hardline’ (-56%) claims a 4th consecutive crown as it stays just ahead of ‘FIFA 15’ (-8%).

With little in the way of new releases familiar faces jostle for position in the Top 10 this week. ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ (-39%) is down a place to No3 but remains comfortably ahead of Ubisoft’s ‘Far Cry 4’ (-44%). ‘Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’ (-42%) is up one place to No5 pushing PS4 exclusive ‘Bloodborne’ (-58%) down to No6. Both ‘Forza Horizon 2’ (-17%) at No7 and ‘Halo: The Master Chief Collection’ (-33%) at No 9 climb into the Top 10 boosted by strong sales of their respective Xbox One Hardware bundles.

Take2’s ‘Borderlands: The Handsome Collection’ (-56%) is sandwiched between the two at No8 in its third week. ‘Minecraft: Xbox Edition’ (-37%) is also back in the Top 10 after a one week absence. PQube’s motorbike racer ‘Ride’ (+81%) is boosted by the addition of Xbox One and Xbox 360 versions propelling the title 31 places to No18 following its release at the end of March.

numbers on individual chart must be pretty low if BB is still NO. 1 after 58% drop.

BB is around 12k now?

 

[Kordelle]

Forza back up, Fast and furious effect?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

That Dark Souls 2 collapse on X1. Honestly expected it to collapse on PS4 with BB drawing attention and do better on X1.

Damn

 

[Adachi]

Does anyone have Dark Souls I + II numbers after 3 weeks in the UK? (360+PS3)

I think Bloodborne is still tracking ahead of that, even though this weeks percentage drop is harder than I would have liked, get your priorities straight UK, lol.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Oddly enough my local Target/Kmart still haven't restocked Bloodborne, not sure what the deal there is. Still has a spot on the shelf and everything.

 

[Footos22]

No, Cheap bundle effect

Just can't fathom how you could expect that. Souls fans are not going to miss out on bloodborne. So why would they not also get ds2 on the same ps4?

This image of poor souls fans that only have a xb1 is foolish IMO. The war of demographics for Japanese games is done for the generation.

 

[Hasney]

Personally, the timing of DS2 was delicious. When I'm ready for it, there will likely be sales.

 

[travisbickle]

I'm surprised Bloodborne's still number one, you know with all the people returning it because it's too hard and the nasty reviewers didn't tell them!!

[EGM1966]

Damn

Numerically it's not going to be much as such. TBH though I think expecting cannibalization of DS2 remaster by BB on PS4 was wrong in this case.

Instead I believe BB probably drew majority of DS fans to PS4 vs XB1, hence whatever subset of the fanbase was going to be interested in DS2 was always going to be larger on PS4 giving it better sales than XB1.

Given we're talking a more niche/cult title that's a critical darling rather than cannibalize sales the lowish numbers and strong preference increases odds of BB purchasers on PS4 also deciding to double dip for DS2 vs XB1.

My take anyway.

As I said though actual numbers can't be too dispirate though as they must be low on both although percentage/ratio wise it probably looks much better for PS4.

 

[Nightengale]

That Dark Souls 2 collapse on X1. Honestly expected it to collapse on PS4 with BB drawing attention and do better on X1.

As of right now, the audience for Japanese games just ain't on Xbox 1.

Great to see that MCC has grown itself some legs now that the game is in a playable state. Word must be getting out now MS has started marketing and bundling it again.

 

[maquiladora]

Not a particularly impressive hold for BB for a third week, but its still #1 = the sales are the shitter and the UK charts wont be very interesting until summer.

I'd imagine that most people that wanted it have bought it by now, so 3rd week at #1 is not bad at all.

[Percy]

B bu but Bloodborne has no legs?!?

Haha... glad to see it continue to do well. A rare UK chart topper that deserves it's success.

Xenoblade crashing out of the charts is a real bummer (It might not be a great port, but it's still a great game), but considering it was a JRPG port on a system with a miniscule install base it's a miracle it did as well as it did last week really.

I don't understand this recurring meme. What does it mean?

In a nutshell: console wars.

 

[Chucke1992]

Minecraft is still selling. Wow

 

[Carl]

I don't understand this recurring meme. What does it mean?

It means our PAL charts threads are weird

 

[EGM1966]

I don't understand this recurring meme. What does it mean?

Beyond the fact it just looks amusing for some reason I'm pretty sure it started with people posting if The Order was above Forza Horizon or vice versa for some reason - the weights indicating the constant swapping of positions. Now it pops up every PAL chart to note how various PS4/XB1 exclusives are charting relative to each other.

Lest that's how I noticed it.

[c0de]

Oh yeah. The Bloodborne adverts during the football on Sunday were heavily promoting the Order/BB £349.99 bundle in Game.

Ah, thanks! Seems bundling Driveclub had more "punch" to sales than bundling The Order.

 

[EGM1966]

Well, bigger install base is not always the reason. Dark Souls sold better on PS3 despite X360's bigger install base.

Sorry I didn't mean hardware install base. I meant demographic install base in line with your point - i.e. the number of people owning a PS4 and interested in Souls type games is almost certainly higher than XB1 thanks to BB. And of course the fact there was a healthy install base on PS3 of Souls fans the likelihood they would transfer to PS4 - particularly with an exclusive like BB to tempt them - was always strong.

So what I was really trying to say is that the PS4 almost certainly has bigger percentage of people interested in DS2 remaster than XB1 and hence rather than BB cannibalizing sales of DS2 allowing XB1 version to perform better in fact the opposite happened and BB essentially helped generate a halo effect increasing chances for DS2 remaster on PS4 vs XB1,

 

[Kaako]

BB, slay.

 

[Hasney]

Ah, thanks! Seems bundling Driveclub had more "punch" to sales than bundling The Order.

Think a lot of that had to do with the time of year more than anything.

 

[c0de]

Think a lot of that had to do with the time of year more than anything.

In a good or bad way? I mean at this time of a year, sales differences between a couple of hundreds can easily mean chart differences with > 10 places. So I don't know what exactly the time of year means in this context - good for DC or good for TO? Or even worse for TO?

 

[Pankratous]

More likely to do with the time of the year.

Good for DC in terms of time of year. Console sales ramp up close to Christmas by orders of magnitude greater than even most games.

We might see though. With Sony having a quiet end of year, this might end up being the holiday bundle even.

 

[Cthulhu_Steev]

Bloodborne is still No.1 in INDIVIDUAL charts

[Jarod McChicken]

So Xenoblade 3D is the third best selling game in France. In UK, it was 27th at the same time and completely out of top 40 now.

 

[Hasney]

So Xenoblade 3D is the third best selling game in France. In UK, it was 27th at the same time and completely out of top 40 now.

Makes sense, France loves Nintendo. Still, I wouldn't expect a demake on a specific branch of a handheld to hang around any of the charts for very long.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Does it look good for Bloodborne in the UK then ?

I'm surprised Bloodborne's still number one, you know with all the people returning it because it's too hard and the nasty reviewers didn't tell them!!

That Shane guy should start a Class Action Lawsuit so they can sue reviewers and From/Sony. Gotta stick up for the poor defenceless consumers.

Yup, especially for this time of year. I think it's going to end up one of the few games where it'll probably do better than a multi-platform release would have due to Sony getting behind them with bundles and marketing.

If you want a new shooter, you've got that or Evolve.

This was pretty positive and almost got me to pull the trigger:
