Since Lily Allen
Are you talking about the 3 MS published titles in the top 5? I guess it is impressive. Far from a turned tide though.Seems like Xbox one X, Gamepass, PUBG and Sea of Thieves have turn the tide in UK.
What a comeback for Rare!

I have checked several retailers and stock doesn't seem to be a problem. Amazon UK charts also seem to suggest that it's not the best seller anymore.
I guess it was indeed very frontloaded and its legs seemed to slow down. Still an impressive result.
Y'all have some weird definitions of what front loaded is for a title released in January cause it ain't charting like a Nintendo ever green title or GTA.
Considering it has sold a huge amount of copies at the beginning but is now outside of the top 40, I would consider it front loaded, yes. Besides aren't Monster Hunter games always front loaded?
2 months charting is very front loaded now? And for a MH game in the West.Considering it has sold a huge amount of copies at the beginning but is now outside of the top 40, I would consider it front loaded, yes. Besides aren't Monster Hunter games always front loaded?

What? No it wasn't. It wasn't even the most hyped PS3 exclusive.GoW3 was one of the most hyped games of all time i wager of last gen atleast.
Yeah maybe Horizon numbers here.Nah, I can't see GoW essentially do 200K physical. It will be respectable in its own right though.
it was. Maybe you were in some alternate universe but trailer of that big battle from reveal were so hyped in internet forums for years. Demo was crashed PSN(lol)What? No it wasn't. It wasn't even the most hyped PS3 exclusive.
As far as exclusives go, The Last of Us was more hyped. If we count multiplats, Modern Warfare 2, GTA5, Red Dead Redemption, Skyrim, and Fallout 3 were all hyped more. If we take other systems' games into account, Smash Bros. Brawl and Halo 3 were significantly more hyped as well.it was. Maybe you were in some alternate universe but trailer of that big battle from reveal were so hyped in internet forums for years. Demo was crashed PSN(lol)
it was the only big game sony users waited with big ass hype. No, nobody was that hyped for uncharted2.
(Talking about exclusives, even that besife cod mw2 its still in top3 i wager)
lol. Mario odyssey over 8 million sold
Actually it sold +9m in 2 months.

Price Promotion.Did Gran Turismo Sports got a new DLC or Patch recently with new cars/tracks features which has caused this increase in sales or it got some promotion?
Realizing that third place is at 7400 units really puts the rest of the list into perspective.
April is not a busy month for game sales in the UK.
I didn't know Microsoft become a third party publisher all sudden.http://www.sell.fr/#top-ventes

What Sony exclusives have these low numbers you speak of?Sony is still the market leader here but numbers are so low on their exclusives.
It goes to show how bad the retail gaming market is in the UK. Imagine how badly games like ni no kuni 2 have done here. Sony is still the market leader here but numbers are so low on their exclusives. God of war will absolutely smash it like uncharted did though. and then it will be back to trickled sales
Fears regarding NNK2 seems to become true. I don't have the PC numbers yet but at least on consoles it will have a hard time matching the first game. NNK1 was something special on PS3 sind there weren't so many quality JRPGs avaliable....the sequel doesn't have the same optimal conditions.
Actually it sold +9m in 2 months.

basically any game that is out of the top ten is doing extremely low numbers

since UK's got Talent.
It all depends on its legs - large part of YW numbers came from the number of PSN sales where you could get it for less than 10bucks. We will see when and how low Bamco is willing to go with NNK2.Ni no Kuni 2 is down by 40% in the UK (retail), console digital + PC will lessen the drop.
In the end PS4 + PC will be in the same ballpark as Ni no Kuni on PS3, which shipped 1.1 million units worldwide.
Yeah, people in general overestimate the sales potential for Steam JRPGs that launch at full price.Less than 100k. http://steamspy.com/app/589360
Considering how NNK2 and DQH did, I think people might overestimate how DQXI will sell on Steam.
GoW3 was one of the most hyped games of all time i wager of last gen atleast.
Where do I begin.

As you can see retail is doing fine it just a slow time of year. Ni No Kuni 2 publisher is Bandai Namco try again. Sony last exclusive was Shadow of the Colossus which sold relatively well. http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2018/02/uk_sales_charts_shadow_of_the_colossus_looms_large_at_no_1

This post is incredible. UK retail is in a good place? in 2018?
wow, just wow.
https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2018-04-09-uk-games-retail-market-struggles-in-marchMarch 2018 was a tough one for the UK games market, as the number of games sold slumped 18% year-on-year to 1.37m copies.
Revenue plunged even further, down 24.7% compared with March 2017. In total, £44.4m was generated from boxed game sales.
It's the first month of decline this year. The first two months of 2018 were up over the comparative period in 2017.
And march 2018 didn´t have Switch Launch + Zelda, Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Nier Automata and Mass Effect Andromeda. So it´s hardly suprising that it had to be down YoY.To be fair the first two months of 17 didnt have the Switch....so Jan/Feb 2018 doing better with Switch, MHW and FighterZ should be expected.
Well i didnt say that March 18 being down compared to 17 is a surprise.And march 2018 didn´t have Switch Launch + Zelda, Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Nier Automata and Mass Effect Andromeda. So it´s hardly suprising that ist had to be down YoY.
Last year March had the release of a new console software such Zelda, Horizon Zero Dawn, Mass Effect Andromeda and Ghost Recon Wildlands compared to Far Cry 5, Sea of Thieves, Ni No Kuni 2, Kirby. It should be expected for sotware sells to be soft last month yoy.To be fair the first two months of 17 didnt have the Switch....so Jan/Feb 2018 doing better with Switch, MHW and FighterZ should be expected.
Far Cry 5 secures its third week at the top with a 45% drop in sales week-on-week.
FIFA 18 holds No.2 with a 7% drop in sales.
And to highlight just how difficult last week was for UK retail, Mario Kart 8: Deluxe is back at No.3, despite a 17% drop in sales.
The only game in the Top Ten to increase in sales week-on-week is Fallout 4, which rose from No.12 to No.7 with a 12% increase in sales.
Selling around 3,500 copies would have got any game into the Top Ten this week.[...]
