Eh, 7 is good for a Wii U title, but 18 is good for a PC one really. Expected Civ to be outside the top 20.
Want to see the single format charts to see what Bayonetta beat out now!

Can the basic Singstar app not be downloaded for free?
Sony should do a PS4 party bundle in Europe this Christmas with Singstar, Just Dance and the Camera.
I suppose those PS4 bundles with both FIFA 15 and Minecraft.

I was surprised to see they're still making Singstar for PS3 when that icon is still glued to the XMB.
Ps4 version sales keep increasing every week.

Looks like that PS4 bundle with Minecraft and FIFA did quite well.
Sing star slow out of the gate but then it just seemed to have been pushed out and got no promotion. Doubt a marketing budget exists on that title.

Same can be said about the X1, looking at the X1 SKU of FIFA.

Guess it's one of the few racing games on the system. But the adverts and bundle will be helping keep in up there.
The game is "working" apart from sending and receiving challenges.
Single player, face offs, multiplayer, clubs.....all there and ready to go. Don't see why people wouldnt buy it now.
Its working more than most games did at launch, albeit 3 weeks later
being 6 in the individual chart is very good for bayonetta 2.
happy to see it charting in UK, I wonder if it will have even better positions in other markets such as France and Germany
This is the best we could expect on WiiU in UK in this Time. So why not celebrating? it could be even more worse...

For a niche title on a failed console with an audience that generally turns it's nose up at anything not involving a moustachioed plumber, only getting beaten by FIFA and Minecraft is pretty spectacular, even if those titles have had their peak sales.

Biggest question is will Bayonetta 2 beat Knack's week 1 sales he already took out Mario.

It's a PC game at physical retail... I wouldn't really read anything into Civ's placement.
I was honestly expecting worse for Bayonetta. Individually only being behind FIFA and one Minecraft isn't bad at all.
Good grief.
Good grief.
Below FIFA 15 PS3, which was at 16.5k last week.
So Bayo2 is most likely sub 15k at the very least.

Word of mouth maybe. It's actually a really good racing game when it works.
Still surprised to see it so high on the retail list, it's a lot cheaper digital.

Why are people saying it is good that bayo beat the retail version of civ. I am more surprised the retail version charted isn't 90% sales of pc games digital?
Huh? #4 on the individual chart behind 3 Destiny SKUs, you mean.

Hmm so Bayonetta 1 doesn't get a chance to chart again despite coming with the first print and special editions. I guess chart-track could have tracked the SKUs separately instead.
But don't forget that other Nintendo published game to come out this week:

More like Magical Bomba...maybe if it came out when the US version did people might have cared a bit more.

Okay for Bayonetta I guess... was hoping for higher though.
Not selling Singstar with actual mics was probably not a great idea. That phone app shit wasn't a great idea to be going all in with.
Yeah, I did have a chuckle about some of the predictions of it dropping out of the charts soon when I saw that

Everyone plays FIFA so they want to join the fun and that's their only option...?

Hardly.
Still, not a bad debut for Bayo 2, will undoubtedly collapse next week though. Also looks like the MC/Fifa bundle is paying off well for Sony.
Both games getting a nice boost confirms demand is still strong for the console.

PC games tend not to sell much at retail.

Because Nintendo games are ludicrously expensive in the UK most probably. "What's a price cut?!"

Bayonetta 2 failed to exceed Hyrule Warriors week 1 numbers. Unsure if this should be surprising or not
Well, you're comparing a Zelda spin-off with a sequel to a critically acclaimed, but not that much mainstream sequel, it could be not that surprising...or maybe it is, but I don't know XD But seriously, how much behind is it?
