‘FIFA 16’ (-40%) takes a 4th straight week at No1 leading an unchanged Top 4 for the second week.

‘Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection’ (-50%) sees sales drop 50% but still holds No2 ahead of Activision’s ‘Destiny: The Taken King’ (-22%). ‘Lego Dimensions’ (-17%) remains at No4 ahead of a resurgent ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ (+4%), which climbs the chart for the third week up to No5. ‘Forza Motorsport 6’ (-16%) is pushed down a place to No6 just ahead of ‘Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain’ (+15%) at No7, which benefits from price promotions.

Several new releases make their debuts this week although Bandai Namco’s ‘Tales of Zestiria’ is the only one to make it into this weeks’ Top 10 at No8. ‘WRC 5’ races into the chart at No12 placing the 4th best launch in the series in terms of week 1 sales. There’s no shortage of titles for RPG fans as Square Enix release ‘Dragon Quest Heroes’ (The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below) at No19. There’s also room for ‘Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance’ by NIS America, which lands at No27 giving fans of the genre three titles to choose from. Finally Koch Media bring ‘Wasteland 2: Director’s Cut’ to Xbox One and PS4. The title includes a host of improvements and remastered visuals and rounds off this week’s new releases at No36

That was a good week for JRPGs. Shame none of them set the charts on fire. Disgaea fared about as well in the UK as it did in Japan. :/

Tales of Zestiria and Dragon Quest Heroes did far better than I expected. I was expecting in the mid 20s but both in the top 15 is great news.

Japanese games seem to have a better following on mainland Europe so I expect the France and Germany to make up the numbers.

Well lets see how well GH performs. It's even got TV ads but I think the boat has well and truly sailed on music instrument games that I doubt it'll do a great lot better than RockBomba.

2 different games. And Nintendo gave it more promotion that SE did for Heroes.

If I recall, some were predicting Uncharted sales would be higher this week as it only has a couple of days in the charts.
I dont know what to think of the numbers.

DQH below Tales of? That's a very disappointing result. One could say "well, it's UK" but Tales of sold better and it should be considered as nicher franchise in Europe than DQ (DQIX opened very high in UK - ok, it was Summer but stayed in the Top 10 for a lot of weeks).

That was a mainline entry. And it shipped 1m in the West.
Click to expand...

Wasn't 1m eventually sold? The last known numbers for DQIX in the West was 1.1m IIRC. The leit-motiv was, though, that jRPG fans are on home consoles in Western markets, and the first DQ game on a Sony platform after 10 year hiatus should have done moderately well, regardless the genre (it's not a Musou, right? An action-RPG should be even better for Western tastes).

I don't know what people were expecting for JRPG's especially this time of year. It is usually just Final Fantasy that can break the top 10 for any length of time.

If they released in the late Spring or Summer it would have scored higher.

You seriously are comparing a musou DQ spin off, one that did quarter of DQ9 sales in Japan, to a mainline DQ entry? Never mind the fact that the last DQ in the west came out 6 years ago so brand relevancy is fairly diminished.

That's just people who don't realise two days of sales isn't really just two days of sales. It also potentially included months of pre-orders. So one, two, five days of sales aren't really significant indicators. At least until the industry stops doing pre-orders *cough*.

Not a comparison - just saying that DQ has had some relevancy in UK, a market typically seen as reluctant towards jRPGs. It is also true that DQ Heroes was seen as the comeback of the IP on Sony platforms - quite a big deal if you talk with the fanbase. We'll see whether DQ Heroes' performance in Western markets will be considered as good by Square Enix.

Tales of above Dragon Quest make sense, at least Bandai Namco properly took care of the franchise for western markets since several years now. Dragon Quest ? 10 years since the last game on PlayStation, and it's a spin off. Both results are shit though, and I don't expect the US to be any different. Hope to see both games in the french top 5 next week, but that's all.

Well, I cancelled my DQ pre-order when I found out there was no co-op. That's the main reason I play musou these days. Maybe I'm alone on that.

Zestiria was a pre-order though. Glad it's at least staying stable relative to the other entries in the UK. Probably an increased digital percentage these days + the PC release coming too?

For reference:

Dragon Quest VIII (PS2): #19 All Formats
Dragon Quest IV (NDS): didn't chart at all
Dragon Quest V (NDS): didn't chart at all
Dragon Quest IX (NDS): #4 Individual Formats

DQIX held the 4th position for 4 consecutive weeks (it went up +27% during its second week), then 7-> 14 and so on.

The rising popularity of Dragon Ball Z didn't help Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden which tanked hard debuting in 10th place in the 3DS chart.
