Honestly I'm sad that RotTR has done so poorly. I love Lara, and I think the reboot took the franchise in a great direction. It certainly deserved better.
Having said that, yes I do own a PS4 and a Wii U but not an Xbox One... FANBOY ALERT

EA should have stuck with the original 9-10 million forecast, no idea why they upped it to 13 million.

I always thought I was smart until I read that chart statement about Battlefront.

But percentage with no context is biased information.

I think we should wait until after the movie has launched before calling time on Battlefront, there's bound to be a boost

Unfortunately it's tracking at less than a third of the previous game so far.
In fact IIRC the current RoTR total is still under the the 1st week of just the Xbox360 version of the TR 2013.

Tomb Raider already in a 2 for £50 deal, with Halo 5 and Forza 6

Call of duty is on sale nearly every where as well. Won't be long before battlefront. It's the nature of the time of the year. Also ms has a push on first party to make them cheaper, to boost console sales.
I agree the numbers aren't good but a strong hold like that gives me hope for the future at least.
The numbers on it's own aren't great but if it has good legs those numbers will start to add up over the weeks. Whether it does or not obviously remains to be seen but so far so good.
Well I mean I was just using the order as an example that even with lower sales 37% is still good. I don't know of any other game that sold similar numbers to compare to (I only remembered the order because someone brought it up last weeks pal chart lol).
I just looked and Uncharted collection sold > 38,100 units < 52,400 in it's first week so roughly similar numbers too, that also had a 50% drop in its second week.
Halo 5 and Rise for £25 each. Oof.

That seems fine to be honest. The 360 probably had 3 times the amount of consoles in the wild when tr 2013 launched, but you know, those kinds of facts don't really matter

I've just started getting the ads. I'm sure that games will be sold but I'm not sure the biggest deals have the largest volume of sales.
Let's see, it will have some sort of effect for sure.

Well, RoTR has X360 version too

We don't know how much MS gave Square for timed exclusivity.
The deal MIGHT yet turn out good for Square, but it'll most likely be a failure to MS (Didn't push many consoles) and CD (Lowered mindshare of their IP). PC and PS4 sales next year won't pick up the slack, people will have moved on to whatever the new hotness is.

Even if TR2 managed to have 1/2 sales of TR2013 in UK, there's the rest of Europe in which I'm sure it won't even hit 1/4.
There's also nothing of note coming out this week, so some of the deals, especially bundle deals I reckon, could pipe up some strange results.

Greatest lineup in xbox history.

It seems I underestimated Battlefront! Nice numbers.
You better hold, Lara.
CoD legs are looking good in UK and Japan. I am pretty interested in NPD next month to see how well it does.
Halo 5...yeah.

Look at this, where do you think some of these numberz come from?
Well, here's the answer:
Call of Duty
01 (NE) CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS III (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) - 635,000 / NEW
PlayStation 4 (48%) - 304,800
Xbox One (43%) - 273,050
Uhm, they are different from Chartz, but what if I upweight them to 100% of market coverage?
PlayStation 4 (48%) - 320,842
Xbox One (43%) - 287,421
Eureka! we now get the exact same numberz.
Now Halo 5:
33,000 (95%) - 34,737 (100%) / 183,000 (95%) - 192,632 (100%)

Next year they'll pretend that ever being a thing and acknowledge 2007 was the true greatest again.
Quality is there though, right? I love ROTTR, haven't played Halo 5.
And where the hell is Fable, Microsoft? Where?

Wow Halo 5 dropped in price fast in the UK. Absolutely crazy.

That is a fantastic price, I would be all over that if I had an Xbox One.

No, it's not, because 2007 is objectively superior.
They've been doing number stealing since day 1. Nothing new about it.
I'm not talking about their marketing bs. Just that at least the games aren't bad. That's all.

The games have been good.
I'm waiting for 10 games myself lol.
Wonderful, really happy to see this. Hoping strong WOM carries this through.
Think this one is more accurate, given the numbers:
Thats quite close between PS4 & XBO. I was expecting bigger different between PS4 & XBO.. can we have percentage without bundles?

Haven't read the numbers, have you?

Do those facts include that other games have surpassed their predecessors despite the smaller install base?

Xbox One with FIFA, Tomb Raider and ESO for £299.99 http://www.game.co.uk/en/xbox-one-5...-896891?categoryIdentifier=764101&catGroupId=
Is available now, you can guarantee better deals this week.
Edit: how about Xbox One with FIFA and Gears for £249 (be quick Amazon Lighting deal) http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0185NUBHU/
No one can say MS are not trying to push hardware
Yeah, missing the 1TB bundle from Amazon France with Fallout 3&4 for £215 was a bit gutting.

There have been some crazy deals on Amazon France lately. If you can wait I am sure similar deals will pop up this week.
