‘Call of Duty: Black Ops II’ holds off Square’s new entry ‘Hitman Absolution’ despite an 81% drop in sales.

It’s a successful second week for Activision Blizzard with sales of their previous Call of Duty title ‘Modern Warfare 3’ having dropped by 87% in its second week. In fact, 2nd week sales are up by 15% compared to those posted by MW3 last year. ‘Hitman Absolution’ settles for a respectable No2, outselling the next best ‘Hitman’ launch (Hitman Blood Money in W21 2006) by almost 3 times.

There is no change at No3 and No4 as sales of both ‘FIFA 13’ (+2%) and ‘Assassin’s Creed III’ (-0%) remain reasonably static. ‘Halo 4’ (-26%) drops to No5, ahead of newcomer ‘Lego The Lord of the Rings’ from Warners which debuts at No6. Family titles ‘Just Dance 4’ (+39%) and ‘Skylanders Giants’ (+12%) are still proving popular, with Ubisoft’s title a non-mover at No7 and Skylanders slipping to No8 despite a 12% jump in sales. ‘Need for Speed Most Wanted’ (-8%) holds on to a Top 10 position at No9, while after two weeks out of the Top 10 ‘Dishonored’ (+79%) returns at No10 thanks to a retail-wide price promotion. A major retailer sales event propels ‘Udraw Studio’ (+406%) back into the chart at No13. There are new entries further down the chart with ‘Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two’ new at No34, ‘Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse’ at No35 and ‘Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale’ at No38.

Hoepfully SEGA made got most of it's sales via PSN for EU...

Unless it stays there for a long time, it still won't be a significant amount of units.

Really? I don't know why but your post made almost spit my drink out lol. Wonderbook climbs from 27 to 22 and you quickly want to call out some people over it. I love the internet.

 

[Solal]

Playstation All stars is MIA... What was Sony thinking?

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

So where are all of the people who were crying BOMBA at Wonderbook last week? Slight increase in the charts as expected.

Probably sold an extra 150-300 units. Wonderbook is a disaster.

An increase in chart position doesn't necessarily mean an increase in units sold.

Probably, but none of their first party developers released any games though outside of SCE London Studios. On PS3 that is.

i don't think the US will save it either

serious cock-up from sony, don't care what anyone says about public not wanting this game, i've seen plenty of shitty titles sell well due to heavy exposure and marketing. this could've been a solid hit for them and they fucked up

It won't.

And yes, it's tragic. We will likely never get a sequel now. This is what happens if you don't support your game to the maximum. FFS Sony. :/

 

[yon61]

As much as we hate to admit, Sony are under severe financial stress right now. I'm sure if they were in the same financial position they were 10 or so years ago, we'd be seeing a lot more money spent in marketing.

Even so, the performance of BoS and ASBR is dumbstruckingly poor.

It's almost as if handhelds dont exist outside of Japan.

 

[wrowa]

It's almost as if handhelds dont exist outside of Japan.

Yep. Outside of the Wii U Nintendo seems to face a terrible holiday in Europe this year. Neither NSMB2 or the just released Layton are anywhere to be seen and these are pretty much the only big guns the 3DS offers this year.

Of course, the holiday season starts in Europe normally in December, so it's still to early to pass judgement, but I'm not optimistic...

granted i'm probably missing a few on both areas, but sony just decided to let it coast this year regarding retail releases and seems to me they tried to push psn games a lot more.
i don't think it's directly related to their financial situation and instead that they have 3 major games releasing next year, ps4 launching next year and vita's first year.

All Stars booooooomba. It was great while it lasted Superbot ;(.

 

[bigtroyjon]

Wii U games will be in this weeks UK charts?

 

[AdventureRacing]

Wow at playstation all stars. I didn't think it would be a hit but i never expected that level of bomba. Sony really fucked up that potential franchise.

 

[SeanNoonan]

Good to see Hitman doing well

Yep. Outside of the Wii U Nintendo seems to face a terrible holiday in Europe this year. Neither NSMB2 or the just released Layton are anywhere to be seen and these are pretty much the only big guns the 3DS offers this year.

Of course, the holiday season starts in Europe normally in December, so it's still to early to pass judgement, but I'm not optimistic...

Anywhere to be seen?
Aside from UK chart, both NSMB2 and Layton ( + MK7) are in Irish top 20 ( and Mario is near top 10/top 10).
NSMB7 is actually 7th in the German chart if you don't consider PC titles.
About Scandinavia, instead...It's always been a very difficult territory for handhelds. DS too. In fact, if you search for Scandinavian last week 47 from 2007 to today, you'll see just one / two titles in a whole top 20. And not even in top 10. Even in some of best DS' years saleswise.
...And actually this week in Norway NSMB2 came back in top 10 from the 19th position.

Welcome back! Nice to see you are in the same mood as ever
This week will let us know how severe the CoD drop actually is. I'd suggest something is high as 75% from the 2nd to the 3rd week.

Sony must be pissed especially with all the money they must've put into Wonderbook.

 

[GeneralManager]

Guess we won't have to worry about which characters make it into All-Stars 2.

 

[Mpl90]

This week is Wii U time. It's going to be' interesting to see its impact. Especially after the launch ( especially from January ), but still interesting.

 

[Floex]

I don't know why people insist on saying marketing is the issue with All-Stars, no one wanted or asked for it, tha's the problem

While I agree the game probably wouldn't have done much better either way, it's pretty poor form to treat your big holiday release like some game made by a shovelwhare studio. Wii U this week will probably be nothing mindblowing either way just like the US sales. Of course the yells of bomba will probably come anyway.

Well we know the top 3 selling Wii U games. Now, where they chart is another matter.

I think one Wii U game in the top 10 of the individual formats chart.

 

[grimshawish]

We do?
Also yeah just NSMBU charting in the top 10. Any lower and I'd worry. Don't think we can really argue where it should 'rank' within that though.
Just as long as its there.

Also Nintendo Land as these include bundles right?

 

[Bumhead]

We do?

Nintendo Land (if bundles count), NSMBU and ZombiU, surely?

 

[user_nat]

Also Nintendo Land as these include bundles right?

Wii Sports and Kinect Adventures don't count, but stuff like the current 360 holiday bundle does.

So who knows.

Nintendo Land is a separate SKU so it should count.

Wii Sports and KA are with all hardware which is why they didn't count.
