Sony: Bloodborne sales took us by surprise

In an interesting interview with MCV, which we highly recommend to check out, the boss of the UK branch of Sony Computer Entertainment, Fergal Gara admitted that the highly acclaimed PS4 exclusive Bloodborne, exceeded their expectations in terms of sales.

It did surprise us, we had expectations to do well. We looked at the Souls series as a frame of reference, and we thought we could do better than that. We did – and then some. Relative to some of our sister territories, we were being quite ambitious, but even that proved to be conservative.

Fergal Gara goes on saying what one of the reasons is behind its success:

I think Bloodborne might have just landed just at the right time; it was a relatively quiet time, it was a very high quality title and a great platform differentiator for us. We were caught a little bit behind in terms of the volume, but we were able to chase it and maximise its potential.

PROJECT CARS LEADS THE WAY
18/May/2015
'Project Cars' (-64%) holds on to No1 for a second week to become the first Bandai Namco title to do so since 'Ridge Racer Type 4' over 16 years ago.

Stand-alone expansion 'Wolfenstein: The Old Blood' from Bethesda debuts at No2 on PS4, Xbox One and PC. Despite having been launched digitally on May 5th, the boxed versions debut strongly in the chart, especially the PS4 version which takes a 67% share compared to Xbox One's 27%. 'Grand Theft Auto V' (-25%) makes way, dropping one place to No3, however this is not going to trouble Take 2/Rockstar's record breaker as it has now passed 5 million sales in the UK. 'Mortal Kombat X' (-28%) also slips one place, down to No4, ahead of a re-entry for Square-Enix's 'Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster' which rebounds back into the chart at No5 thanks to the launch of a PS4 version. Big hitters 'FIFA 15' (-24%) and 'Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare' (-16%) both look comfortable in the Top 10 at No's 6 and 7 respectively.
More previous No1s occupy the final 3 Top 10 places with 'Dying Light' (-33%) down 3 places to No8, 'Destiny' (+0%) up one place to No9 and 'Battlefield Hardline' (-34%) down 3 places to No10. Bandai Namco could well be celebrating three 3 weeks at No1 next week as 'Project Cars' goes up against another of their own titles, 'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt'.

The first Bandai Namco title to hold on to number 1 for 16 years... that sounds bad!

Crazy high PS4 share of wolfenstein. Destiny above BF Hardline now too.

Congrats to GTA V as well, fantastic sales. I wonder if any other game will make it to 5m physical sales in the UK

[Dr. Pezus]

GTAV 5m in UK!

Most games never even come close to 5m worldwide lol

GTAV is on its way to outsell wii sports.

It will get a boost next week with the new Expansion... a lot of players are backing to play it.

Considering GTAV set the record around 4m I think, meaning that the second highest seller is only at around 4m, I'd say it isn't very likely unless we're talking about GTAVI

Yeah GTAVI is the only game I can think that might do it but I don't think GTAVI will be as successful. Maybe Minecraft could leg there in a few years time, highly doubt it
