‘Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain’ holds on to No1 for a second week, albeit with a whopping decline of -78% over week 1.

The average decline week 2 over week 1 for the Top 10 biggest launch titles so far this year is -67% (included in that list are MGSV and Mad Max from last week). The big new entry within the Top 40 is Nintendo’s Wii U ‘Super Mario Maker’ debuting strongly at No2 and selling enough to become the 4th best week 1 sell-through for a Wii U title (the top 3 are Mario Kart 8 , Super Smash Bros. and Nintendo Land). Warner’s ‘Mad Max’ debuted at No2 last week and drops just 1 place to No3 (-66%). Right behind and actually climbing one place to No4 is a third chart week for ‘Disney Infinity 3.0’ (-42%). Also showing third weeks on chart are Sony’s ‘Until Dawn’ (-51%) which is down 1 place to No5 and Microsoft’s ‘Gears of War: Ultimate Edition’ (-58%), down 3 places to No6. The only other new entry within the Top 40 is Sony’s PS4 ‘Tearaway Unfolded’ coming in at No33.

Surprising to see that a game can sell -78% less than the previous week, and still be n°1 on the charts... Anyway, glad to see Mario Maker doing well

The big new entry within the Top 40 is Nintendo’s Wii U ‘Super Mario Maker’ debuting strongly at No2 and selling enough to become the 4th best week 1 sell-through for a Wii U title (the top 3 are Mario Kart 8 , Super Smash Bros. and Nintendo Land)

Hopefully it has, seems like us Europeans are loving it, and that's awesome. We really need these bit different games to mix it up in AAA space.
Click to expand...

For some reason, most of Sony's IPs do very well in EU, but don't do very well in the US, even their big IPs like Uncharted and GT don't sell much better than your average AAA title. So Until Dawn continuing that trend is not a surprise.

Microsoft's IPs line up better with the US, both Halo and Gears are multimillion sellers there.

Tearaway not being able to find success anywhere is a bloody tragedy. It's one of the best character platformers ever made, just gorgeously charming and damned fun to play. Ah well.

Yay for Until Dawn though!

Huge drop for MGSV, dedicated fanbase plus not much of a mainstream appeal I guess.

Great to see Until Dawn holding strong.

Shame to see Tearaway flopping, guess that's the end for it. At least Sony gave it a shot, albeit not a big one.

Anyone has comparisons with Vita?

I think a lot has to do with Sony being so superioir in EU, and US install base is much closer. And of course countries like US and Germany have bit different tastes.

I don't know what you consider "mainstream appeal", MGS4 sold as well as Mass Effect 3, Arkham City, Resident Evil 6, Fallout 3, and other games in that category.

Obviously MGS4 sold 1 million in Japan while the others didn't, but MGS4 was also only on one platform.

Had to be done. PAL charts live again with two exclusives to bicker over position wise.

Also Tearaway! Heart breaking really. It's such a lovely ode to the whole notion of playing games and so full of charm but the market just interested in that kind of title unless it's got LEGO in the title it would seem. Oh well I got it on Vita and PS4 so I at least put my money where my mouth is in terms of backing the title.

Steep drop for MGSV but not really unexpected - it has a core who're there at launch and the expected deep dive afterwards.

I don't think it's an install base issue, even on PS2, Sony's IPs were popular mostly in Europe.

That's probably why they gave up on making exclusives that appeal to the US and decided to use Destiny and Call of Duty instead, I don't think any of their studios is capable of making a game that appeals to the US market other than God of War.

The average decline week 2 over week 1 for the Top 10 biggest launch titles so far this year is -67% (included in that list are MGSV and Mad Max from last week).
Click to expand...

How much is this being affected by differing launch days? A game that released on a Tuesday (in line with US launch days) is going to be more likely to have a larger percentage drop in week 2.

Off the top of my head MGSV and Batman were Tuesday releases. I want to say the Witcher 3 was as well but I'm not totally sure. I don't think Mad Max was though.

Pleased to see Mario Maker up there and I hope it retains traction with the userbase. It's one of the most fun products I've played this year.

Until Dawn holding tight for now. Had a ton of fun with that :)

Can't wait for all the "Damn Sony, why don't you make another Puppeteer or Tearaway or Vib Ribbon? These games are so awesome. Why Sony, why?" post in a few years. And as soon as one of these games launches, nobody buys it or does it when it's lying dead in the bargain bin already. Next time put your money where your mouth is, day 1. Just get the AAA game weeks later for a cheaper price. All the dudebros are gonna buy it anyways. So you know it will sell.

Fake edit. And yes, Tearaway had marketing.

They're still gonna make them, those games don't cost much more than your typical indie game, I don't know why people are expecting it to sell like Ratchet and Clank or a Nintendo platformer or Knack or whatever AAA platformer you can think of.
