UK Top 40 Games Week Ending 26th Nov '16 - GFK (Biggest PS4 Week Since Launch)

[ethomaz]

POKEMON SIGHTED NEAR SUMMIT

28/Nov/2016
The record breaking launch of Pokemon Sun & Moon cannot deny the Black Friday boosted 'FIFA 17' a return to No1 as it shoots up 2 places from No3.

'Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare' at No2 also spoils Nintendo's party by making the most of a Black Friday windfall and ensuring 'Pokemon Sun' debuts at No3 and 'Pokemon Moon' at No4. However, it is a spectacular launch for Nintendo, combined they would have debuted in top spot. The Black Friday promotions have a huge effect on nearly every Top 40 title with big gains for PS4 games bundled with hardware, in particular 'Uncharted 4: A Thief's End' which re-enters the Top 40 at No8, 'Driveclub', a re-entry at No20 and 'Ratchet & Clank' a re-entry at No25. In fact, it is the biggest week for PS4 console hardware since launch, beating last year's Black Friday.


Pokémon Sun and Moon is Nintendo's biggest ever UK launch | GamesIndustry.biz


PS4: 142,578 (+2% yoy)
Xbox One; 92,578 (-31% yoy)

XB1 is crazy down compared with last year... 31%.

I did not expect that with the S momentum.

[Cute Pikachu]

Great for ps4
Also Eurogamer says Pokemon>300k

Yeap... it is a record for the franchise in UK.

[Xevross]

Fantastic pokemon!

Hardware I expected a decent PS4 win, deals were so much better for PS4 this year. I did not expect XB1 to be so down YOY though. This + pro week probably makes up for all the ground XB1S gained.

XB1 won September + October with ~27k over PS4... just this week already slash this advantage.

Oh okay, so now if you add those three months PS4 has a massive lead already. I expect the momentum to be carried through december.

Any word on us black Friday?

None yet.

The last two years though, UK BF has correlated with US BF. We shall see if this holds true again...

I wonder if XB1 is down in US like in UK... it is hard to believe.

It will be down but the question is by how much. 33% would be crazy.

[ethomaz]

Confirmed Pokemon close to 300k but not 300k or over it.
