Driveclub is a goddamn beast.
It's heavily bundled, why do we get this every PAL thread?

Go Driveclub I want a sequel so bad
I keep asking this question in different (related) threads re: Dragon Age and not getting an answer so I'll try again. On the GFK chart track website, where GAF gets PAL numbers from, DAI is listed as number 19 on the all format list (up from 21 last week). Here's the link:
http://www.chart-track.co.uk/index.jsp?c=p/software/uk/latest/index_test.jsp&ct=110015
This is over a month after release, with poor marketing, limited numbers in shops, competing against much bigger titles some of which have been bundled. I get that it isn't appearing on individual formats lists, but does that really mean DA has bombed?
I have a personal bias here in that I like the DA games, so I'd obviously like to see another one and it would be a shame if that didn't happen, for me anyway :/
Final Score
Driveclub 1 - 0 Overly pretentious pseudo-intellectual reviewers which have no fucking clue what the fuck having fun is
driveclub showing the losers how it's done
So many unwanted copies of DriveClub have been traded in, according to the staff at my local stores - Sony shovelled so many copies out there. Couldn't get rid of my bundled copy quick enough.
It does. The numbers outside the top 10, even on the single format charts, are small. Right now, I'd be willing to bet that outside the top 5 is pretty damn small. If there's not a single SKU in those and the combined sales of 5 formats get it only up to 19, then yikes.
Yeah, fuck those guysopinions!! You sure showed them!!and my, I really can't get into it and went back to GT6
Well. Bugger At least it's charting in New Zealand on the individual formats (PC, One and PS4) and in Australia on One and PC. I guess. :/ Thanks for the info, at least I got my question answered.

Yeah, it is a real shame, but the existence of DA2 and EA failing to acknowledge it exists is pretty bad.
Aaaaaaand physical copy discounted!
I absolutely love sales threads but for me their accuracy is twindling in regards to digital sales.
The last time I bought a physical copy of a game was Infamous 2 on ps3 (not including the bundled copy of killzone shadowfall at launch which since then has been sold and rebought on the psn store)
Sure I don't count as the majority but the amount of digital only buyers must be increasing.

It's likely that it's still proportional though.
Hell, if you wanted to get technical, I barely even buy games from the UK PSN store at all and it all goes to the US.
I'm assuming you buy from US PSN then, because here in the UK we get utterly fucked over digital pricing, and I get the impression that much of Europe is the same.
On another note, does anyone have any idea if games sold digitally in GAME are tracked in these charts (including bundled digital codes)?
Definitely not. When I sold mine on Gumtree there were over 100 search hits for London alone. CEX also seems to be overflowing with copies as well. The Amazon trade in price for "like new" has dropped to £10 as well which is terrible for a recent title.Umm, wtf? Joke post?

Very bombed. Outside top 5 are nothing to write about. Something it can be under 10,000 units and still in top 10.

Not sure giving their games away would turn the losers into winners.
Also, not sure how happy Microsoft can be that when someone in the UK wants to buy an Xbox One from Amazon in the UK, they're met with this.
I'm all for choices, but there's a point you reach where you're just confusing the hell out of the customer.

I really expected Dragon Age to do a lot better. It's the first real fantasy game released on this generation of hardware and it's got great reviews. It's a deeply flawed game but that has never stopped mediocre games from selling in the past. Really surprised about that, tbh.

Some surprising things.
Just Dance still has it, I had never expected it would top the December chart. Both Wii and Just Dance series refuse to die. Will it still chart next year?
There is only one PS4 game, and what am I seeing? a PS Vita game?
What has this got to do with anything?
The biggest critically acclaimed game this gen, the last of us has hundreds of pre-owned copies in my local cex (a guesstimate based on walking in the store) as does Destiny, Forza Horizon 2, Advanced warfare,
I suspect the larger install base has something to do with it. (and the bundles too)
Forza is also in lots of bundles

In the all formats in 2014-2015 for the UK its been 5th, 14th, 20th, 14th, 15th, 18th, 19th and 17th this week. So 8 weeks for DA I in the UK top 20 since launch.
While not a sales juggernaut people here are buying it. In Nov NPD it didn't even chart, there's myth it didn't even chart for the UK. I know you're not stating that though.
Anyway sales across the EU and US DAI seem poor or at least mixed over the platforms and didn't hit hard on the PS4 or XB1. We still wait to see if it charted in the US in Dec, I doubt it.
Not as many, especially with those AC and MCC bundles doing work. it was hard to try and find a bundle without Driveclub.

Dragon Age was #11 in the US in November. 1 place from the top 10, and a dev who posted that on gaf implied they were happy with the sales.
Even if Driveclub is heavily bundled, I'm glad it is making its way into people's hands one way or another. Great game.
How does Insomniac feel about Sunset Overdrive's performance given they own the IP and the whole point of going with MS is that they get to own their own IP? Was there enough marketing? Should it have been more aggressively bundled? Or is this the byproduct of going with the xbone?MS can not be pleased with Sunset Overdrives performance.
Also its sad to see the performance of Dragon Age in the UK, I think its a great game, but its just not found an audience. DA2 maybe did the series quite a bit of damage.
Bundles are finished, finished last week as it happens. Current chart position is likely down to the £20 price point from Shopto and Amazon. (which has also now expired)

Next weeks chart will be an eye opener, I can't wait
