Gears had a nice bump!

Yep, its weird since the prices have gone back up.

[DerNebel]

Movers & Shakers are weird too.

The Order jumping due to being $10 I can understand, but what's with the other games?

Uncharted 4 up from 590 to 51
Horizon up from 2561 to 276
FFXV PS4 up from 1247 to 151
TLG up from 2186 to 300
Dark Souls 3 PS4 up from 2273 to 346
Kingdom Hearts 3 PS4 up from 1060 to 189
Ratchet & Clank PS4 up from 2029 to 378

Do people just go ahead and pre order a bunch of games when buying a console or is there a deal that I'm missing?

15% off all pre orders at the moment

Really, really, really happy that Uncharted 4 and Horizon have got big boosts, the hype is pulling through!

Strange at the lack of xb1 games being pre ordered though

Can't really think of an upcoming X1 exclusive that has any actual significant real world hype behind it that people would go out to preorder.

Black Friday Football Fever
 
01/Dec/2015
Black Friday means that week 48, 2015 entertainment software is up +60% units over week 47, 2015 and +32% by revenue. These are higher increases than last year over the same 2 weeks, but actual software units and revenue on week 48, 2015 vs week 48, 2014 are lower this year (-9% units / -10% revenue). Not so for consoles themselves, with more sold in week 48, 2015 than the equivalent week last year (+8%). From the total number of consoles sold in week 48, 2014, PS4/Xbox One accounted for 75%. But this week 48, 2015 that has risen to 86%. This also helps to explain why PS4 and Xbox One software units in week 48, 2015 are higher than any other week and they take around 74% of all entertainment software units – this time last year these 2 formats took only 46% as PS3/360 still commanded over 30% of units.


Week 48, 2015 is one of only 9 weeks so far with over 70% PS4 & Xbox One combined share of total entertainment software units. Black Friday has a huge effect on the All Formats Chart this week, propelling EA's 'FIFA 16' up 3 places and back to the top after a 6 week break from the No1 spot, thanks to a wide range of hard and soft bundles (+254%). Activision's 'Call of Duty: Black Ops III' remains at No2 with sales up 47% over last week for similar reasons to FIFA above. Last week's No1, EA's 'Star Wars Battlefront' drops to No3 but sales are only down -52% (rather than a more typical -70% over week 1 for a major release). Bethesda's third week on chart for 'Fallout 4' sees the title dropping 1 place to No4, but sales climb +8%. There are no new releases in the Top 40, but the chart is littered with titles that have re-entered or risen impressively from Black Friday hardware bundles or simply from Black Friday software discounting, some of which are as follows: Climbing 19 places to No5 is Sony's PS4 'Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection' (+999%), Rockstar/Take 2's 'GTA V' rises 6 places at No6 (+385%), No8 and up 3 places is 'Halo 5' (+195%), No10 and up 10 places is 'Forza 6' (+381%), No12 and up 7 places is 'Disney Infinity 3' (+281%), No15 and up 19 places is 'LEGO Marvel Superheroes' (+541%). Big re-entries are all previous chart toppers, such as 'The Last of Us: Remastered' at No21, 'Batman: Arkham Knight' at No23, 'Until Dawn' at No24 and 'The Witcher III' at No28.

Quantum Break!

You guys needs to accept the Mario Killer is back.

Spoiler for Large GIF:

The Last of Us: Remastered
UC +999%

[DerNebel]

Quantum Break!

Doesn't have significant real world hype imo, at least not at the moment. 2851st on Amazon. The single most viewed QB video on Youtube only has about 1.15 million clicks, the gameplay demo from this Gamescom doesn't even have 250k. Remedys last game wasn't a big seller on 360 either and I don't see this one being much different on the X1. Putting it up for "Most anticipated game" at the game awards is a complete joke I think.

[Dr. Pezus]

Holy shame, Uncharted! Didn't driveclub have the same increase last year?

Also, knack is unstoppable

Dat last of us doe. That game never stops.

[Xevross]

Fifa PS4 > Fifa XB1. PS4 won the week surely, not many X1's were sold without fifa.

Not just that... PS4 was top for COD, Battlefront and Fallout too. The Nathan Drake Collection looks like it moved a lot also.

Very nice boost for XB1 and PS4 YOY

[Xevross]

PS4+XB1 297k (240k last year and use %s given)

dang: Knack, Until Dawn, TLOU all there too. PS4 had a monster week

[ethomaz]

Uncharted increase just shows how monster PS4 sold.

Knack back to save the gaming industry again.
