I thought UC4 had taken the cake but DOOM is still being advertised, the game got a serious push to say the least. I'm hearing the games great so good on 'em, need to give it a go for sure.
Good point about the advertising, totally forgot Destiny even had TV ads. That said, I still think it'll beat out Doom and Wolfie and bring in a 6 figure return, even if it's only just.
What a sad post.
yeah i think it will easy outsell Doom and The new order, like i said i expect over 100k, maybe even 120-150k.

Nice to see Us performing so strongly still, it's a hell of a game.
Speaking of, Doom getting such a small drop of its positive WOM is just ace, and hopefully such a warm reception for it's old school sensibilities gets taken notice of by other publishers and developers.
I'm definitely in two minds about FE:F's. Playing it all weekend, it's still top notch, and really deserved better sales on quality alone, but it's a clear step down from Awakening, and there's so much bollocks surrounding it, the ridiculous and unnecessary delay, lack of dual audio, keeping the lacklustre American localisation, and utter balls up surrounding the LE, that I can't say I'm shocked at the lack of hype surrounding the European launch and general indifference to it in the UK.

It is a shame there was such a gap between the NA and the EU FE release. When there is a staggered release, I can understand how people end up going, eh, I waited this long, I can wait longer. It's nice to see Birthright getting some love, though I suppose it was well advertised as a good choice for newcomers. OUGI!

It's surprising to me to see the Special Edition for UC4 being higher then the regular edition on some of these charts.
Nah, in Italy this is normal, most of times the special edition is bigger than the normal SKUs.
Maybe he has a US 3DS? or homebrew? :|
This has nothing to do with the quality of the game. I know that having a region locked console sucks and having to wait months to play a game also sucks but when the game is good it deserves to be played (imported or not). And we are talking about a 3 months delay with North America when some times it's been years... but whatever.
And remember that some charts (like France) are value ranked.

Hmm, wonder what the version split was for Fates?
Also is the top 3>10k thing individual SKUs or combined?

Yo-kai Watch sales died very fast in Europe. ;_;
I suppose Uncharted and Doom are pretty hyped titles in EU. So eh..

Gotcha. I don't normally pay attention to the other charts so I was applying a bit of that NPD mentality I guess.
It will still do very good in all others Europe countries.

So, considering YouKay Watch in 2 weeks of May is already ~8,000, is safe to say will chart even next month. Amazing.

So...what's going on with the German charts lately?
Seem to be gone. gamesmarkt switched to the gfk public pr statements it seems, which are top 3 (sometimes top 5) per plattform. Boring.
gamefront.de said:
There is also PC - but those charts don't matter at all I guess.
Spain (16-22 May)
1- Uncharted 4 (+14.000) (+100.000)
2- Fire Emblem (+8.000)
3- Yo-Kai Watch (4.000-4.500) (+23.000)
4- FIFA 16 PS4 (+2.500) (+350.000)
5- COD BO3 PS4 (+2.400) (+350.000)
1- Uncharted 4 (+14.000) (+100.000)
2- Fire Emblem (+8.000)

4- FIFA 16 PS4 (+2.500) (+350.000)
5- COD BO3 PS4 (+2.400) (+350.000)
Now It's the perfect time for Yo-Kai in Spain, a good present on Spanish "comuniones".
I has been in two comuniones this year. I saw Splatoon amiibos, Yokai Watch and Tomodachi-2DS bundle.
Yokay Watch is a monster. 
Fire Emblem in Spain did way better than in UK (In term of marketshare), i'm curius about France!!!
EDIT: Btw, last week Yokay was at >15,000 unit lifetime ( i know ">" mean "more", but i doubt it also mean 17/18k ), and if it sold 4,000/4,500 this week, how are LT sales at >23,000 unit?
Looks like this time this guy have combined all SKUs for all games, so i suppose this time he combined some others Yokay Watch SKUs... this, or the old numbers were adjusted up.

I hope Doom beats it. Doom deserves better sales than what it got. Bethesda screwed up the marketing so hard for that game, focusing on the boring tacked on multiplayer instead of the best shooter campaign in the last ten years.

Doom had a really great hold last week but I think whether or not it outdoes UC4 this week depends on Overwatch.

There's always last week's French "charts"Nooooooo i was so curius about OverWatch.
(and later Italy).There's always last week's French "charts"
True. At least we will see how did Fates in some others European countries.
Looks like it did REALLY strong in France anyway! Limited Edition was above DOOM, the others 2 in TOP 5, maybe all version combined outsold Uncharted 4?
In Italy not that good though... :-/

French chart is value ranked, not units. And the limited edition has a 79,90 official price so it's normal being so high.
Lol, Uncharted 4 and DOOM are both 70 or 60 at best, it's not like there is a big difference.
Not to mention the others 2 SKUs of Fates are 45...

45? damn
Seems the special edition makes up a bigger share of sales relative to US/Japan...not sure what to read into that.

Fire Emblem Fates: Special Edition was the best selling SKU in all PAL markets we have data for: France, Italy, Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand.
UK is the exception because it is only available at some selected GAME stores and Nintendo.co.uk. That's why it wasn't tracked by Chart-Track.

It's probabily not good.
Probabily that after that amazing USA opening i overestimated how Europe would receive this game...
Maybe this should have be expect too, since it was 3 months late compared to USA. meh, with 300K first week in USA i was expect something like 200K for Europe, though at this point with those UK / Spain sales of < 20K combined at retail, it's most likely even under 150K. (unless digital sales in Europe were surprised way bigger than USA / JP... ).
I hope to hear official Nintendo numbers from France soon.
And well, let's wait the next weeks for see if has legs... It should still sell great in Europe too, just not as good as it did in Japan and USA.

The series has always performed better in the US, why would you expect otherwise now
(but the legs should be more comparable to US than to Japan [aka nonexistent])

Indeed i predicted less sales from Europe, as you saw
just i'm surprised it's most likely even less than half of USA sales.Legs in Europe will be great, no doubt about this imo.
Uncharted is 59,90 (official), is having its second week and is still number one so that doesn't mean the limited edition made exceptional numbers.
Anyway until Nintendo releases official numbers I'd say that these are solid sales in France but as everybody said they seem to be quite below US sales

So another casualty? at the beginning of the year we also lost all Nordic charts.
Nowadays we only have 6 publicly available weekly charts: UK, France, Italy, Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand.
Belgium chart is updated very occasionally and now for Germany we will only have a paltry top 3 by platform that doesn't even include every system (no 3DS)
