I see
also looking back lol at people proclaiming Bravely Default a bomba cause of the UK (but for real, how did it not chart?)

34 for X.
At least it charted I guess.
Surprised DC isn't in the chart. Wasn't there a £195 bundle on Amazon over the weekend? Maybe it was third party? Didn't pay too much attention to the seller on HUKD.

I was just thinking King will along shortly with some positivity.
It's good or charted given the U's current situation in the UK.
Wii U's situation in UK is shit, that we know already since after launch. Xenoblade was quite a poor seller compared to other franchises on Wii, but did ok for the niche it is in. X to be some kind a big seller on Wii U would have been quite a miracle. The fact that Nintendo didn't trust it enough to release it on "Nintendo day" says a lot. So yeah, under the circumstances, selling better than the original is an achievement.

Using this we have:
1) FIFA 16 - 149,742 (-41%)
2) Blops 3 - 136,476 (-32%)
3) SWB - 102,960 (-34%)
4) Just Cause 3
5) Fallout 4 - 75,993 (-27%)
6) Rainbow Six: Siege
Not a bad performance from Just Cause 3. Christmas sales are a tide that lifts all titles.

Doesn't look good for R6 or just me?
Looks like it was a close split but yeah that's against the trend a bit. Noobie's gonna love that statistic!
Wonder why? Is franchise more know on Xbox, did it appeal but more demographically for some reason? Just an outlier?
JC3 seems to have had a decent start I note. Wonder how it'll do overall WW?
It's still possible that XCX sold better first week than XC and I would've made a bet that it would (even in UK), but that's not a high barrier I guess. I think it'll have a relatively great start in US though.
Edit: I should read everything before I post... So X sold indeed a bit better than Xenoblade. That is something I guess.

really guys, Xenoblade's numbers are further up the page cause I posted them
5500<Xenoblade Chronicles<6600
9515<Xenoblade Chronicles X<11418 (+73%)
whoops, when I asked for top 20 from the previous two weeks I assumed it'd stay constant at least from Black Friday week, that wasn't the case though

Ubisoft expects to sell more than 7 million units of Rainbow Six Siege lifetime
No chance they will make that, right?

Ubi's next quarterly report is going to be interesting.
R6 bombing, Just Dance 2016 underperforming, latest AC title underperforming, what else did I miss?
I love seeing uBi games doing bad, can't tolerate that company so good to see.
Anyone has comparison AW vs Blops?
Chobel
Member
I just checked Steamspy, and the game is at 73,416 ± 8,180. That's very, very low. So yeah, 7 million lifetime won't happen.
Edit: I also saw AC Syndicate sales. Jesus fuck! It's even more pathetic, only 47,477 ± 5,355?
Why not good games doing well and bad games doing bad?

Franchise is more known on Xbox. Rainbow Six 3 was one of the most popular multiplayer games on the Original Xbox and Rainbow Six Vegas was the big multiplayer game in the early 360 days aside from Gears of War. Sales seem pretty tepid for it anyway though.
I'm sure the Crew: Wild Run will pick up the slack for the three tent poles going to shit.
Damn Rainbow 6 bombed hard, will have even worse legs than normal since it's MP only too.
No chance it hits 7M lifetime sales lol, will be lucky to even reach 1M

Good, hopefully the low sales for AC and Halo5 scare publishers into not releasing broken games. It's unfortunate as those games are actually good (or so I've heard about AC), but that's what happens when you release games completely broken a year before.

Xenoblade outsold Mario Tennis and Amiibo Festival, that'll send a decent message to Nintendo I suppose.
Splits for Rainbow 6 and Just Cause

Well Rainbow 6 benefitted from the 360 head start last gen and the port to PS3 suffered with the usual problems early in th gen, so that might have been a factor - but I think deep down there are a few more players that are open to multiplayer only games on Xbox traditionally. And as we see there are far more people on both platforms who are sceptical of that type of game.
Well, it probably costed 10 times more to make than those games, so I don't think so.
Tom Clancy's games are more known on Xbox for sure

Nice to see X doing well against it's predecessor. Though it's chart positioning would seemingly tell a different story without numbers.
R6 bombing. No hype around that one and there's already too many shooters out that are far bigger. Should have been released when the schedules were quieter.
JC3 seems to have done well, although not sure that's a good thing if the game was released in the state? it was.

I think people just forget how massive and huge black ops returning to form is, Bo2 was the last good COD in most players minds...and Bo3 has returned and claimed almost every Destiny player I know, in fact everybody on my friends list.
And then there are the coop zombies players and been quite a few years since a good COD zombies - a game that could stand by itself....anybody releasing a shooter with limited modes or content against the Bo3 package at this time must have been nuts. So Obvious.
Xenoblade had stock problems for a month after release, so it certainly beat expectations.
Seems like it's brand recognition then. Bit like Elder Scrolls Online having better split for Xbox too. Not that sales were terrific but split is probably balance of being more known on Xbox vs bigger PS4 install base balancing out.
MS should really try and help titles like this more. Seems easy to give them a little extra marketing and get better split and sales. But I guess they're more interested in bigger plays.

Well, it could be worse.
Dunno what anyone would expect from a JRPG-ass JRPG on a Nintendo console in the UK.
WTF are Nintendo funs buying? Amiibos?
Haha, where do the guys at ubisoft live in? Because it's not earth...

They live in other countries. The rest of us left liking Nintendo in the UK:
I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that no one here likes paying £35 for a game that's been out for five years. Hmmm.
I don't get it? The comparisons were from the Wii release of Xenoblade compared to the Xenoblade Chronicles X release. The N3DS version isn't being talked about.
Still, sucks to be those that did.
I only paid £32

Oh I'm not referencing any game in particular, just commenting on the situation in the UK and why Nintendo has lost so much market share in the region. The "5 year" thing was a random number. Sorry, didn't mean to be cryptic.
