The Order dropped by only 56% in the UK in its second week. Much less than people were expecting. Most AAA games seem to drop at least 60%

The Order: 1886 1st week > 36,127
The Order: 1886 2nd week > 15,986 (-56%)

The Order: 1886 LTD > 52,113

Dying Light

PS4 (57%)
XBO (40%)
PC (3%)

Dragon Ball Xenoverse

360 (9%)

The order released on a Friday. How was its first week of sales affected by that?

DYING LIGHT RISES
02/Mar/2015
Warner Bros. Interactive secure their first No1 crown in just over a year with 'Dying Light' taking top spot.

The title has been available for almost a month on digital platforms but that does not prevent the physical release becoming the publisher's first chart topping title since 'The Lego Movie Videogame'. It's also the third consecutive new IP to take top spot in the last three weeks. For developer Techland it marks another zombie themed No1 following the success of their Dead Island series. 'Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare' (-15%) climbs to No2 despite a drop in sales. Another debutant lands at No3 in the form of 'Dragon Ball Xenoverse'. Impressive sales for the new release see it claim the best week 1 in the UK for a Dragon Ball title.
PS4 exclusive 'The Order: 1886' (-56%) is knocked down to No4 in its second week. 'Grand Theft Auto V' (-5%) and 'FIFA 15' (-11%) are both non movers at No5 & No6 but Ubisoft's 'Far Cry 4' (-40%) slips three places to No7. In its third week on the chart Take 2's monster hunter 'Evolve' (-54%) is also down sliding five places to No8. The seemingly ever present 'Minecraft: Xbox Edition' (-28%) & 'Minecraft: PlayStation Edition' (-22%) round off the Top 10 at No9 & No10. A third debutant makes its mark in the Top 40 this week with 'Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires' landing at No21 for Xbox One and PS4. Price promotions also help propel Bethesda's 'Wolfenstein: The New Order' (+80%) back into the Top 40 as it climbs 20 places to No25.

"PlayStation®4 (PS4™) computer entertainment system has cumulatively sold through more than 20.2 million units*1 worldwide as of March 1"

You don't need other data than that one.

[Xevross]

So 1.7m sales in the first 2 months/8 weeks of the year, very nice indeed.

212.5k average per week

[Xevross]

And Vgchartz is way under as expected. Unless it thinks PS4 will sell 800k in the next 2 weeks of data

Geez, that reminds me of that thread from that dude that bet that the PS4 wouldn't go below 180k in 2015, the poor fella had to take so much shame when vgchartz showed the system fall below that number.

Can you link me that one?

I remember that too, I agreed with that prediction

Since The Order and DQ H would've given a nice boost, I'd expect it to have been below 212k 6 of those weeks. Still a very safe bet that it's stayed above 180k every week though.
