Old games and niche titles yea the low numbers aren't surprising. Homefront was bomba the moment it was announced. No room for C-tier open world games.

I don't really think it being open world had anything to do with it. Just shittiness in general.

DOOM second week great hold is rare for its genre, now after 2 weeks its cumulative sales should be tied with Wolfenstein: The New Order with ~ 100,000 units, am I right Kyonashi?

Homefront: The Revolution is a huge bomb, the previous title sold around 170,000 units during its first 3 weeks.

PlayStation 4 top 10 UK best-selling 1st week titles:

[Week 47, 2015] PS4 STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT (ELECTRONIC ARTS) - 197,000 / NEW
[Week 19, 2016] PS4 UNCHARTED 4: A THIEF'S END (SONY COMPUTER ENT.) - 192,000 / NEW
[Week 37, 2014] PS4 DESTINY (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) - 192,000 / NEW
[Week 22, 2014] PS4 WATCH DOGS (UBISOFT) - 190,000 / NEW

Note: These are approximate figures so a little margin of error is to be expected, positions for games that are only 1,000 or 2,000 units away from each other may be interchangeable.

I don't know the PS4 drop, but all platform combined:

Star Wars: Battlefront (-52%)
Destiny (-78%)
Watch Dogs (-81%)

23/May/2016
Sony take a second week at No1 with ‘Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End’ (-78%).

UC4 opened at Destiny like numbers and its second drop is Destiney like.. Do we have LTD numbers for Destiny?

In the UK they had TV and cinema ads for Homefront (which cost millions). OUCH.

So DOOM's first week was <64.62k, do I have that right?

That is correct. DOOM's Week 2 is a little bump above TNO's though.
