With steam I'd really be more interested in a chart that shows the average price paid for a game, to get an idea how many games are bought during some of their massives sales.

Easter is here and EA's 'Battlefield Hardline' (-40%) makes it three weeks out of three at the Top, with a surging 'GTA V' (+35%) up 2 to No2.

Sony's big new PS4 release last week 'Bloodborne' by From Software (-55%) drops 1 place to No3 and there are plenty of Easter deals affecting the charts this week. EA's 'FIFA 15' climbs 1 place to No4 (+44%) and Ubisoft climb impressively for a second week, up a further 3 places to No5 with 'Far Cry 4' - one of the big Easter sale beneficiaries (+116%).
The big new release this week at No8 is Bandai Namco's multi-format 'Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin', which also happens to be the second From Software-developed title within the Top 10 in the space of 2 weeks. Also debuting this week is EA's first Sims 4 expansion 'The Sims 4: Get to Work' at No18. The final new release within the Top 40 is Nintendo's epic action-RPG 'Xenoblade Chronicles' for 3DS at No27. Developed by Monster Games in association with Monolith this game only works on the new Nintendo 3DS due to size and scale.

the order holding up nicely it seems. is it bundled a lot? also good hold for bloodborne. loving the farcry 4 sales.

[DerNebel]

Only a 55% drop, that's pretty good for Bloodborne. Do we have any other recent second week drops? I think Battlefields was even lower.

I'm still yet to see a The Order bundle anywhere, even though its holding well its probably only selling a few thousand a week at this point. Iwas hoping Bloodborne would hold a bit stronger thanks to the reviews and easter boost tbh. Far Cry 4 definitely deserves it

Yep Battlefield only dropped 43%, Evolve dropped 66%, The Order only dropped 56%

Bloodborne should have dropped way less than The Order

Seriously!! UK you make me wonder about your tastes sometimes. Lets hope it'll drop less from here on out.
