Why are fewer people buying Watch Dogs for the XBone compared to every other format? Do most people who own an XBone also own a PS4?

 

[Raist]

what happened to those Nordic charts, didn't they have top 20 for each country at one point?

Hum, yeah, eons ago?

Why are Pokemon Black and White over X and Y? Retailer fire sales?

Argos selling them for 8 quid.

Fewer people own an X1 and even fewer of those owners are interested in WD?

Or X1 owners are buying digitally from the US store due to how easy it is and how much cheaper it is?

It seems unlikely that many people own both an X1 and PS4 just yet.

The units figure is down, but there was a point where it was -12% for the year. So things are getting better.

Elsewhere in the Top 40 EA’s ‘Skate 3’ (No25 / +17%) continues a remarkable return to the Top 40 (now stretching back 17 consecutive weeks) – the last time this title graced the Top 40 was almost 2 years ago and the game itself dates back to 2010.

Sequel plse!

The UK heatwave continues

Charttrack is making fun of GAF?

 

[JoeM86]

Individual chart.

Wow, a heat wave is affecting sales? Vindication!

Totmodachi within spitting distance of the no.1 spot.

Mario Kart 8 collapsing. Not surprised.

Am surprised to see both TF and I:SS rise. Sale/deal?

Collapsing? It's been up and down in the Individual Formats top 10 since launch. It's still in it. It's not like it's divebombing.

Aye that's an odd way to put it. For the past 5 weeks it's been 10, 7, 6, 3 and now 6.

GAF? You mean one poster on gaf

and there actually was a heatwave here with thunderstorms happening after. Nothing too bad though.

 

[Chobel]

Dem Titanfall legs.

Seriously, how many TF bundles did MS make? The game didn't leave the top 10 since it was released.

Titan Fall!

lets be honest as of right now there are better/more titles to pull you away from watch dogs on the Xbox one

watch dogs is a good game though

 

[Bruno MB]

Bundles aside, Titanfall is having a really great performance in the UK. Even the Xbox 360 version is constantly charting in the top half of the charts several months after its release.

 

[Xater]

Remember when MS was talking big game about having 40% marketshare in Germany? I doubt they'll beat Nintendo this gen.

Also UK seems to be the only European market where the One has any kind of foothold.

I know, I'm living in Europe, too and my colleagues actually were in UK last week.

I didn't want to make Selebi's name too explicit in my posting, so I went for GAF. I found this funny but didn't want to mock him anymore for that, because he has received enough flack for it already.

 

[Mpl90]

WD PS4 and 360 stay stable, WD PS3 goes way up...while WD One goes down again. The heck is going on?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Yeah, collapse was perhaps overly hyperbolic. The beginning of tge slow descent down the charts probably would have been more accurate.

Well, they seemed to completly pulled out of here, at release you saw posters at every trainstation and the commercials ran every ad break(sometimes twice per break).
Now you dont see any ads here in germany.

There's nothing for them to advertise. It'll probably kick off again from late Sept with Horizon 2 and build from there.

Dat spin, Yusif/Major would be proud.

Wasn't last week affected by a great deal at one shop though? Considering that the week before MK8 also was at place 6, it seems to be rather stable, if I don't misremember regarding the deal.

Mario Kart still top 10 in the Individual Chart that said I do expect it to start dropping now.

The next couple of weeks I expect sales numbers wise to drop at least until Diablo 3 comes out for the PS4. Then not sure at least until Destiny where I expect it do sell loads of units and bet Watch Dogs sales wise.
