"Clearly in our first week we were impacted by what happened with Assassin's Creed Unity," Martinez said.

But Syndicate's second week sales beat those of Unity's, he continued. And, all things considered, Syndicate may still end up beating its predecessor.

"We seem to experience the same sales curve as [Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag]," Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot noted. "Versus Unity, Syndicate was down in the first week but nicely outperformed it in its second week as it benefitted from positive word of mouth."

Guillemot would not answer whether combined two-week sales of Syndicate were still below those of Unity over the same period, but again pointed to Black Flag as an example of where lower launch sales were evened out by a much higher cumulative sales in the long run.

Ah, some honest speaking PR. This is how you do it, Microsoft.

Good to hear, I think I shall be getting Syndicate

- denotes an improvement (closer to #1), + is the opposite, surprisingly!

Actually, with all these Borderlands DLC it gives us a better impression of how far apart these bundles are in terms of sales.

Halo 5 Flopped in Spain apparently.
Did not chart in October and apparently FFV could have possibly did better as a limited run with less days(not fact but a possibility).

Xb1 is doing dreadfully in Spain so that doesn't surprise me.

The thing is that Fatal Frame could have possibly beaten it.
Friken Fatal Frame(which had 2 days in October)!!!
It wasn't that far behind it at amazon es....

Well Halo only had 4....

I'd be shocked if that was true though

Doesn't the Vita outsell the X1 in Spain?
A year ago the install base in Spain was 50k for x1. 1 year after release. Same time frame ps4 was 360k.
Dunno how the Wii U fares..

It was at 80k as of January 2014(before all the hitters came).
All we know is XBO does horrendous there.
Forza nor Fifa debuted in Spain top 10.
Halo is following the trend.
I think xbox one is around the same as wii u(so about 80k).

So Itll be
PS4>3ds>Vita>WiiU>XBO
probably end of gen.

I wonder what the percentage of Halo 5 sales came from the US and UK. We know that it flopped in Spain and Japan, though it did chart at #1 in Germany. I bet it charted high in France, too, since that is also a pretty big market.
