Oh please, you went on and on and on about how Dragon Quest Heroes would be a massive bomb and it didn't make any sense to localize it because Dragon Quest fans didn't want it. Now all of a sudden you were expecting some massive sales performance of a spinoff of a franchise that hasn't even seen a western release in over 4 years.
Again, read your own posts. The DS remakes didn't even chart. Non mainline entries seem to have a lot of trouble selling in the UK. And I don't believe DQ Heroes is a mainline entry.

PS4 price drop and AC week... Very curious about this week.
The PS4 had a price drop.What have the deals been like this past week? Haven't really paid that much attention to HUKD.
And of course AssCreed will blaze to number one. 57/43 split is my guess.
The PS4 had a price drop.
Heh, went to Hot UK Deals to see where the best PS4s were to see if there's any effect and they're all from abroad this week. One deal in Game for Ass Creed, Watch Dogs, Uncharted and Driveclub for £300, but HMV Ireland beat them by over £20 without Driveclub and it would be easy enough to get Driveclub cheaper.
Dragon Quest Heroes in the top 3 overall and top 2 PS4.France week 42

http://www.chart-track.co.uk/?i=2259&s=1111Its launch fails to outperform previous title Assassins Creed: Unity, which was denied top spot last year by the second week of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. It is the second major entry in the Assassins Creed series not to be developed by Ubisoft Montreal, that honour this time going to Ubisoft Quebec. Assassins Creed: Syndicate surpasses with ease the other non-Ubisoft Montreal developed title Assassins Creed: Rogue, but its launch falls short of surpassing any of the other major entries in the famous series. Sales of FIFA 16 fall by 16% this week, but it still manages to secure 2nd place ahead of Activision Blizzards Guitar Hero Live, new at No3. It may be 5 years since the last Guitar Hero title Warriors of Rock, but the new game still manages a 24.3% increase on its predecessors launch.
Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection (-26%), makes way for the new releases by dropping 2 places to No4, while Grand Theft Auto V sticks at No5 thanks to a 51% jump in sales. Lego Dimensions (+12%) falls 2 places to No6, while Destiny: The Taken King (-5%) slips by 4 places to No7. Forza Motorsport 6 (+11%) is still in demand at No8 ahead of Lego Jurassic World (+74%) which was heavily promoted this week, a non-mover at No9. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (-3%) rounds off the Top 10, meaning Nintendos new 3DS title The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes has to settle for No11. Thrown in with the new Assassins Creed Syndicate PS4 hardware bundles, Watch Dogs (+430%) scampers back into the chart at No12, while The Witcher III: Wild Hunt (+121%) also shoots up the chart, thanks to price promotions and a recent new expansion. The only other new title to debut inside the Top 40 this week is Ubisofts Just Dance 2016 which gets the party started at No19.
AC first, but under Unity
So Syndicate is the worst first-week selling AC game in the UK apart from Rouge?

Watch Dogs popped back up again. That must be the deal Hasney was talking about.
Can't believe Syndacate sold THE SAME numbers of Black Flag, haha.
Of course, LT BF will sell a lot more, but we all know.
128,000 is the ceiling for Syndicate, the range is quite wide.
So Guitar Hero sells more on PS4 but Rockband does better on XB1, albeit on a larger margin at retail.
Sony Europe is also incredibly bad at handling Rock Band DLC. In Europe, the last-gen to current-gen DLC compatibility is basically an Xbox exclusive feature and there's a lot of Xbox exclusive DLC now, because SCEE is fucking incompetent.I think a lot of that is to do with the 360 to PS4 switchers this gen. There's no way I'll consider Rock Band until I get an XB1. Muh DLC!
Syndicate has to be considered in bomba territory if it hasn't done better than any previous Assassins game.
Ubi must be non too pleased but it's got a bundle for Xmas so will likely do well I guess.

SCEA has done fine with Rock Band DLC, so you should get the game from US PSN if you want Rock Band on PS4.
Bye bye PS4 jRPGs.
Zelda bombed and rightly so.

All those Japanese games gone as fast as they appeared. Sad.
And Until Dawn is out.
Isn't that how the co-marketing broke down? At least here in the U.S. Sony advertised guitar hero and MS Rock band.
Even then I think it's going to depend on deals. Black Ops 3 and Star Wars bundles at the same RRP will probably prove more popular.
Rise, Forza 6, rise.Forza Motorsport 6 (+11%)
Did those jrpgs sold a good amount in Japan? With those sales I wonder why they even bother releasing it physically, a digital only release could probably be more lucrative.
Looks like the Game bundle sold pretty well with DC back in the charts at 29.
And what caused the bump for Mainline 6? Deals?
