24/Oct/2016

EA knock themselves off the top spot with the highly anticipated 'Battlefield 1' debuting at No1 (PS4, Xbox One and PC).

The Battlefield series, developed by Digital Illusions has been around since 2002's PC only 'Battlefield 1942' and the current release is a definite return to form, outselling the combined week 1 sales units of the previous 2 versions ('Battlefield 4' in 2013 and 'Battlefield Hardline' in 2015). 'Battlefield 1' week 1 sales units are just under the amount generated by Ubisoft's week 1 for 'Tom Clancy The Division' back in week 10 this year. EA's 'FIFA 17' drops to No2 after 3 successive weeks at No1 (-36%) and 2K/Take 2 remain at No3 with 'Mafia III' (-59%). Microsoft drop 2 places to No4 with 'Gears of War 4' (-76%). The second highest new entry at No5 is Warner's PS4 and Xbox One 'Batman: Return to Arkham'.

There are 2 other new releases within the Top40: debuting at No15 is 2K/Take 2's 'Civilization VI' for PC and debuting at No19 is Warner's 'Lego Harry Potter Collection' on PS4.

Rigs out of the top 40, I seriously don't get it

Edit: I'm just gonna put it on the price tag.

Rigs out of the top 40, I seriously don't get it

It's a VR game hitting an install base of thousands competing against ordinary games hitting an install base of millions

edit: Oh, I see what you mean. Other VR games have performed better and yet most people agree Rigs is one of the best.

[ethomaz]

Gears 4 < 94k for first week now.

BF1 < 277k (it is possible to be lower than BF4 after some weeks)

[Rorono]

Gears 4 < 94k for first week now.

and lower second week than Judgment
At retail i don't see this game doing more than 2M, 2.5M with some bundling help

[Aura7541]

Not good numbers for Gears 4. Even if we assume the digital to physical ratio is 50/50, UK sales would only be barely above Gears 2's first week sales.

[Legend]

Great for Civ 6!

Rigs out of the top 40, I seriously don't get it

Edit: I'm just gonna put it on the price tag.

I think most VR software is overpriced but Rigs seems like an exception. I also don't understand why it's not leading VR software sales.

[Aura7541]

Anyone know how Judgement sold on its third week? It's a bit mind boggling that the first three weeks of Judgement could be greater than the first three weeks of Gears 4...
