My memory needs a refresh, when was the last time Sony did such things as a first day/week sales report ? I remember Bloodborne having a PR when it reached 1 million but they are far from doing it for every game.
I mean we are talking about the guys who left the official numbers of Gran Turismo 6 (and GT in general) in the dark during years by not updating the website of Polyphony Digital. When every news outlet wrote that GT6 has sold something like 2,4 millon (based on a false number taken from chartzzz) what did Sony do ? Nothing.
They didn't care to make an NPD comment last month even though the PS4 wasn't down, Dark Souls III ate 70% of the share, R&C was the best launch ever for the franchise, and so is without any doubt for MLB 16.
I know Uncharted 4 is an important game, but it could be that Sony guys are less obsessed by sharing numbers than people in NeoGAF

And why should they? There is some rule for that? Let's see, Halo 5 came out at Oct. 27, week later, MS announced $400 mil. bullshit PR. And what happened in the end?
Anyway, my prediction is around 250k for U4.
Was curious, too. Couldn't find any first day/week statements for big titles. Looks like UC3 had an official PR statement 9-10 days after launch. And TLoU (PS3) had an official PR statement 2-3 weeks after launch. Both were for shipped numbers.
That's bold.

Nice, thanks ! Shipping 4 million Uncharted 4 for launch day may be a little too much I guess, especially on regular season, but who knows.

How much did tlou and tlou r do in their first week on pal charts?

How many hours left til we get the charts ?
Tlou Remastered sold ~70,000 first week, Tlou more than Ubcharted 2 but less than Uncharted 3, so between 84-116K.
One hour and half to go.
They're not at a fixed time, but usually around less than 2 at this point.
I still haven't been sent them.

So I was around 10k off. Also makes it a bigger first week than Halo 5.
...True. Oh man, oh God. Prepare the shelters, people!
Which makes me think
The truest prophet of our times indeed.
Wow some numbers those, PS3 install base would've been higher too at the time of u3?. Noobie going to spin the numbers no doubt, what's pretty crazy is everyone I game with on ps4 bought this game digitally too so it will have done decently there too.

Halo was once a beast, lol. Like Reach sold 390k and Halo 5 just 160k.

Amazing for Uncharted.
Ratchet still holding well.
At this rate QB will be out the charts next week. So much for that titles legs and increasing visibility...
Battleborn just a complete bomb.

Would not be a PAL sales thread without you
Bethesda Softworks Doom also arrives this week comfortably making its debut at No2. Its the first outing on PS4 and Xbox One for the series and another strong debut with sales up 67% on Doom 3.
Do we have any estimate about Doom 3?

Assuming the typical 25-30% figure of total sales that developers and publishers attribute to digital copies, then it's anywhere from 237k to 247k.
It shows that Sony properly interesting in a comprehensive marketing campaign for a FP title unbelievably pays off!
Brilliant result for ND. My girlfriend can't stop gushing about how wonderful the game is, so I'm so eager to play it myself in a few weeks time!

I dunno, I feel like he's been loosing his touch lately.
So Uncharted is about 195k? Damn
25-30%? Lol, maybe 5% if you're lucky. Emphasis on lucky.

Do you have this weeks lotto numbers perchance?
Not so sure with it being a first party title it was fiver cheaper than the normal digital tax games on the store plus had a very big showing on the store front.

Crazy numbers for Uncharted.
It has been everywhere, havent seen a game pushed like this in the UK for some time.
TV ads, online - theres also 3 billboards dotted around Glasgow city centre. Sony and ND went all in on this one!

Digital percentage is usually at its highest in the launch week, then it slowly settles. I would think that isn't that far off IMO.
Heh, never gets old.

Do we actually have any typical percentages either way for the UK specifically?
Every developer quote on the proportion of digital sales has been general to WW situations that I've seen.
Nope but it won't be high.
Imagine if games digitally cost $90 when you could walk into the shops and buy them for $60 in USA, that's what happens in the UK.
In my opinion is too high because they have terrible prices on Uk PSN.
For example Uncharted 4 is priced at 49,99 £. This is insane. You can buy the game for 42 £ on Amazon.
Most shops were selling it on the high street for £44.99 it was only £5 more digitally being a first party title. I think it will have done very well digitally.

I think with Uncharted it might be bigger than the norm, as it was £49.99 digital as opposed to the usual £55/£60 but your talking 15% at tops i would guess
You could even get it for £32 on amazon last week.
£50 is still too high lol. MS exclusives are £45 for example and I doubt they do much digitally either.
