UK charts: Slow start for Tomb Raider as Spider-Man reigns supreme | GamesIndustry.biz

SPIDER-MAN DOWN ONLY 42% WEEK TWO IN THE UK. HOLY. shame. That's a ~110k second week, only just short of Horizon's opening and still bigger than GOW's opening. Spidey is already on the brink of outselling GOW in the UK, and GOW legs have been incredible.

Uncharted 4 and Spidey had an almost identical UK launch (190k), yet Uncharted fell 78% second week to 43k and Spidey only fell 42% to 110k. That's insane.

Edit: another comp. FC5's second week drop was 69%, which was a launch just a bit smaller than Spidey's earlier this year. 42%... man...

Tomb Raider launch was 70% down on 2013. Franchise killed by Squeenix's deal with Microsoft, poor decisions and lack of quality, shame.
