I would have expected more than that, based off how online people love it so freaking much.

you mean the third installment of a game that had its prequels not release on console and be just PC?.

10 million is massive for this game, really glad for the sales. hope it can leg it out to 15 million. now give me Cyberpunk and get started on the witcher 4 already.

I expected more for W3 after the massive first month sales.

W2 was on 360.

I expected more like 12 million.

Is xb1 officially discontinued yet

[Aura7541]

Is xb1 officially discontinued yet

I don't think the XB1 has even sold through its initial Japanese shipment...

It's getting close to PS4's day one sales though!

[DerNebel]

Nintendo stock normalising again. The overinflation of the stock was getting ridiculous.

[the-pi-guy]

Nintendo stock normalising again. The overinflation of the stock was getting ridiculous.

Yeah aside from a couple weeks in March/April 2010, this is the highest their stock has been since 2008.    I really wonder what happened in 2010 that caused that.

But basically Wii/DS>Something>Pokemon Go>Everything else (All other Pokemon games, all other Nintendo hardware)

Oh wow.

Next week's UK charts could be a bit interesting

[ZhugeEX]

Oh wow.

Next week's UK charts could be a bit interesting

You mean last week when that increase took place and there was no significant impact whatsover.

A 150% increase on 10 units isn't exactly much.

Oh I didn't notice that.

Well I had no clue what they sold before which is why I said could. I thought a few pokemon games might appear around the bottom of the chart.

THE 4TH AWAKENS

25/Jul/2016
Warner's 'Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens' (-39%) holds on to No1 for a fourth week in a row.

It now just needs one more to equal the record of 5 consecutive weeks for a Lego title ('Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes' with 5 weeks back in 2012). There are no new releases within the Top 40 and overall sales drop -29% over last week, partly due to summer holidays and partly due to the spike from the special retail shopping event during last week. As such we see EA's 'FIFA 16' up 5 places to No2 (-13%), followed at No3 by Activision Blizzard's 'Overwatch' which climbs 1 place (-30%). Last week's big new entry, Capcom's 3DS 'Monster Hunter Generations' (-66%) drops 6 places to No9. The Pokemon Go mobile phenomenon continues to affect Pokemon 3DS software sales and 3 Pokemon 3DS games re-enter the Top 40: 'Pokemon Omega Ruby' (No17), 'Pokemon Alpha Sapphire' (No24) and 'Pokemon Y' (No29). This week is the first full sales week since the mobile game was launched in UK, which means that August will show a remarkable spike in Pokemon sales and 3DS software and hardware, plus Nintendo's share of the market.
