This means nothing.
Luckily for Lara U4 got delayed. She couldn't even take down a HD re-release
If there is no other game released on that platform it really means nothing. Wii U is dead in the UK. And best selling game on a dead platform means therefore nothing...... ?
SWBF continues to bomb. /s
No Xenoblade? UK has shit gaming taste confirmed
..... ?
It's because of the top 5. X launched at 7th in Germany, so I expect it to manage somewhere in top 20 on release in France.The biggest concern for X is that it didn't even chart in France, where normally Nintendo stuff actually does quite well on launch.
Well that's because it's a babbygame. Hardcore games sell much better, like Halo 5.
I thought Xenoblade was one of the best games of the last gen, but I'm not going to invest in a console that's dead in my country, with a successor already on the book, just to play one game. Maybe if Nintendo had lowered the price I would have jumped in, but the fact the Wii U is in the same price range as the Xbone or ps4 is just utterly nuts.
It's because of the top 5. X launched at 12th in Germany, so I expect it to manage somewhere in top 20 on release in France.
This, so fucking much, when the Xenoblade bundle is £249.99, or i could get an Xbox one, Ori/ Rare replay and battlefront from £270 or an xbox one + FIFA, for £260 it is stupid.
I've been scouring everything to get a cheap Wii U new bundle just too get Xenoblade, but i can't really justify to myself buying a console, that is dead, that is going to have its successor out in 12 months for around £250, console needs to be £150 solus for me to buy.
Little harsh but your right about UK tastes.No, UK has great tastes and is not interested in shit games that look like crap, confirmed.
I dont get why would anyone buy a game where you take turns and looks like a ps2 game,. but each to their own.
I dont get JRPG's, you dont get western action games...each to their own....I dont call JRPG's shit do I, I dont understand the appeal but I leave it there...
Thanks, checked back in the other thread and corrected it. So it MIGHT have reached 5th in France (as JRPG/Nintendo tend to rank a bit higher there), but in fact didn't.Pretty sure it was at 7 in Germany, beating everything but the big hitters on PS4.
Best selling Wii-U game of the week means, well, jack shit if it's the only notable release on the platform that week.
Not to be that guy, but if gaming went to SWBF type games only and we lost stuff like Halo 5. i would quit gaming. I am bored of Star wars after 2 matches. Heartbreaking, but then it's like everything, the biggest selling stuff is far from the best. Music etc

It has great tastes.
If it wasn't for sites like GAF, I wouldn't even know Xenoblade had released.
pssst... not every game is made with you or the GAF massive in mind. It's Star Wars, it's shooty, but as a 16-rated game, for a parent it's not as iffy to buy for your kids as some of the 18-rated FPS stuff that they might really want to play. For a game released before xmas, that's a win in my book.
We need as wide a spread of titles as possible... if something like SWBF can help bridge that gap and get the slightly older kids off their small devices and buying/playing consoles or on PC, that has positives for the future. There's nothing to suggest all shootbangs are going to get dumbed down to these levels, but without games like this and Splatoon, maybe you old Halo fans, dwindling in numbers, won't readily be replaced without gateway titles that can pull more people into the fold?
Sorry about that, gets me riled up when people think its cool to hate on popular western games like BF, COD, GTA and praise JRPG's.
People have different tastes..nobody is right...just different
I can put my hand on my heart and say I have never seen a WiiU in real life, only pictures, never mind the games... Most shops do not sell it, stock it or display it, and certainly dont have demo stations. I have a Wii though
What were Nintendo thinking releasing it at the busiest period of the year?
Nintendo is the one to fault.
They fucked up with the Wii U. Simple as that.
Hope they do better with their next console, whatever it is. If not, I could see myself buying Nintendo games for my PS5.last part is a half-joke
Nintendo being stubborn with the Wii U price tag is what is doing the most damage here in the UK. It is way too expensive for what it offers. Add in competition being only £20 more and it is a joke.
Well they're not willing to lose money on it and by the time the new consoles came out, it was already a write off. Might as well make some meagre profit rather than losses. I don't think a price drop would be beneficial for them, especially when it would still sell like shit and then lose them money on top.
Xenoblade?

No Xbone 2m announce yet?
No Xbone 2m announce yet?
Star Wars Battlefront is better positioned than I expected in the race for Christmas number one (week 52). It should get a sizable bump next week thanks to the release of the movie.
I still think Call of Duty: Black Ops III will be the winner, but I'm starting to have doubts about it.
Fifa 16 is heavily bundled and is more dependent of hardware sales, so it is also a legitimate candidate for taking No1 in a week where lots of new console systems will be sold.
Such announcements are usually made on Tuesday or atleast not on the same day of chart release... if my memory serves me correctlyNo Xbone 2m announce yet?
It must have passed it by now. Can MS stop MCV from announcing it?
Will we be getting Week 52 and Week 53 numbers after the holidays are over? or they are not reported ever...
No. I asked two times.Has the MCV dude ever replied to you on that?
It must have passed it by now. Can MS stop MCV from announcing it?
Probably not. They'd get that info from UKIE/GfK so it's not up to MS to decide with whether they can publish it or not I guess.
They're always reported, and not delayed either unless it's an actual bank holiday. Week 52 was published on the 29th of December last year which was a monday, for instance.
Looks like the constant support for Driveclub from the devs is delivering some extra sales.
Real question if will the Wii U ever reach 1 million in the UK?
SWBF continues to bomb. /s
Hey I'm happy star wars exists. I'm not the one going into threads making sly remarks about how something sells over another game.
Says he's not making sly remarks. Makes sly remarks that Halo 5 should be selling over Battlefront.Not to be that guy, but if gaming went to SWBF type games only and we lost stuff like Halo 5. i would quit gaming. I am bored of Star wars after 2 matches. Heartbreaking, but then it's like everything, the biggest selling stuff is far from the best. Music etc
