This week’s UK charts are now in courtesy of GFK Chart Track. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds for the Nintendo 3DS has managed to squeeze into the top 10, placing in 9th in the all-formats and 8th in the individual. Though Link’s new adventure isn’t placed as high as expected, it fights with some tough competition from various Xbox One launches including Battlefield 4, FIFA 14 and Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag. This Friday sees the European launch of Super Mario 3D World on the Wii U, so next week’s charts should prove interesting.
Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy moves from 10 down to 18 in all-formats, while New Super Luigi U and New Super Mario Bros. U stick in positions 29 and 31, respectively. Mario Kart 7 for the 3DS also re-enters the chart at 39, possibly due to a pre-Christmas software boost. You can find the top 10 all-formats chart below or in full here, but why not also have a browse in the individual charts, here.
- FIFA 14
- Call of Duty: Ghosts
- Battlefield 4
- Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag
- Forza Motorsport 5
- LEGO Marvel Super Heroes
- Dead Rising 3
- Grand Theft Auto V
- The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
- Ryse: Son of Rome
SHOCKING. I THOUGH IT WILL BE TOP 3. LMAO AT RYSE
Yeah good luck with that when you have 2 next gen consoles coming out the same week
Do you know the xboxone is suffering alot of hardware issues? The only one i see doing good is ps4.
Did not Do
lol why did I think of Yoda
Nnnno, not gona happen.
This is the UK chart, game sales are just..weird over here. It’s always inconsistent unless it’s something alot of casual players buy like COD, FIFA, AC, or whatever.
hold on, is this correct? ALBW is only releasing in Europe on the 29th so how can it even be on the list at all unless this is actually the American chart
Wrong way round, ALBW is out now, 3D World is out 29th in Europe
That’s Super Mario 3D World – releases on Nov. 29th. A Link Between Worlds released on the 22nd.
Would you recommend Mario 3D world to me? :)
I would its pretty damn great. I has that diddy kong quest feel where almost no idea is repeated, it is then it will be much harder(not counting bosses). There is much more to do after u beat the 8 main world, and the finale boss is amazing and funny
I didn’t ask you
Then someone from my local Nintendo distributor has some splaining to do
Nice. I hope SM3DW does well too
TBH that’s not really that well considering most of the games in that list have been out for awhile.
ALBW has been out for two days (three if you count today). The fact that it placed this highly on the chart actually is pretty damn good.
Well the Xbox one launched so the launch titles will sell quite a lot in the first week because peeps need stuff to play on their console that they really really really shouldn’t of bought and instead waited for the PS4.
But Xbox One is the next watercooler
You’re a fucking pleb
I know right!
two in a row microsoft
If by watercooler you mean disaster then sure!
Glad to know we both agree that it’s a piece of shit.
I think its because the Xbox One is the size of a Watercooler.
Mmm, not necessarily.
There’s nothing good on the PS4. Multiplats aside anyway, everything is dull. The only good game is Resogun, and even then…meh.
And in terms of what’s coming soon, Infamous is looking good, but then there’s nothing, just…indie stuff. Which is nice…but no.
Xbox One has gotten alot of shit (frankly it WAS deserved, though resolved), but it’s got alot of really good games, now and coming soon, and like, and it’s really wide variety, only 1 is an FPS, Titanfall (2 if Halo counts but fuck knows when thats coming).
Well I agree with all of that, the Xbox one certainly has the more enticing launch titles and it’s been praying on my mind that I would much rather play Forza, Ryse , DR3 and Killer instinct than Killzone, Resogun. And Titanfall and future Halo games etc is very enticing also.
BUT I absolutely refuse to support the monstrosity that is the Xbox one. From day one when it was unveiled as a DRM Spy box until now where it’s an over priced, forced kinnect, too big, weaker than the PS4 piece of shit.
PS4 gets my vote just because its so much more sensible. It’s considerably cheaper, considerably more powerful and has considerably less forced camera.
Killzone, AC4, Resogun and a few other indie games and stuff will keep me happy for a while until Driveclub and infamous come along. And in the future I would put my money on Sony having the better first party exclusives even if Xbox one has slightly better ones at launch.
next year we have the liked of MGS5 and KH3 and much more to keep playing :)
#Wiiu,PS4,3DS
And you tell others not to use hashtags. you’re a fucking hypocrite
I use them jokingly,
look #STFU pinwheel I really don’t want to talk to you ever again!
You can’t get enough of me
#WIIDONTWANTUHERELOL
It’s not really a “monstrosity”.
I have one, the kinect is actually pretty good, the motion stuff isn’t used enough for me to make a fair judgement on it, but seems about as reliable as the OG Wii remote pointer, can loose your position, same as Wii remote did.
Voice commands are great, long as you can use it properly, it is honestly way easier during a game so just say “Xbox, go to store” rather than go through menus, and the facial recognition stuff is cool too, family member walks in, it signs them in just like that, and my friend has an Xbox One too, his ID is on my Xbox, signs him in too and transfers his saves from the cloud automatically (obviously nothing purchased) , it’s pretty damn cool.
It’s basically in the same boat as the WiiU gamepad, some people like it, others don’t, and don’t want it included at all, but it’s not shown it’s potential for games yet (though the off tv feature and the menu stuff is good)
As for the “spying” stuff…there’s bullshit interesting to see in my room anyway, so IDGAF honestly xD and they can’t like get a live feed from kinect, doesn’t work like that, so it’s not “spying”.
As for the console in comparison to the PS4, it’s practically the same, just a tiny bit slower in terms of loading stuff, and switching menus ect. And multiplats look almost identical if im honest.
It’s really just a system that has a TERRIBLE image, because MS fucked up their PR.
Honestly, im playing Killer Instinct… And it’s one the best fighters ever made, it’s so damn good, so that secured my purchase. Also MGSV and KH3 aren’t exclusive to PS4
Yeah, all that voice commands stuff and facial recognition sign ins sounds awesome! And I will be envious that I won’t yet be playing Killer instinct (nostalgic childhood favorite) and Forza (obsessed with Forza games on 360) etc etc :( .
I really want an Xbox one and I have the money to get one if I want, but I just have this feeling that there’s going to be price drops and hardware revisions, bundles coming next year!
So then I will get one, Ideally I would like to pay about £300 for it considering my more powerful PS4 is costing me Tree fiddy.
There isn’t a huge difference in the way Multiplats look especially considering both consoles supports all the same effects and stuff as each other. It’s basically just resolution and maybe framerate in the future that means there is a gap between the two worth considering and its in favor of the PS4. Almost Every multiplat on PS4 is higher res and native 1080p seems to be much more of a standard. As someone with a huge 1080p tv I would like to taake advantage of it…
Oh and I know those games weren’t exclusive to the PS4 I’m just saying it’s something that justifies buying it.
Both consoles are awesome but all things considered Ps4 is cheaper more powerful and I’m positive it will have the better Exclusives in the future.
Meh, Sony’s exclusives have slipped in my opinion, they’re just boring now.
Only ones i really care about are Persona and Ratchet and Clank , everything else is just..meh. Even The Last of Us, i enjoyed it, despite being held back from it’s potential in order to be more casual (sigh…), but the PS4 sequel will just be prettier…
I want it to be like a high quality DayZ, or State of Decay, set in that universe…but it won’t. Linear story focus basic stealth and shooter adventure, here we go…
True true…
Like I say I will get an Xbox one when it’s cheaper. Until then I can play my bros ad friends ;)
At the end of the day we both win as we have day 1 next gen consoles along with Wiiu’ and 3DS’s where as million of others don’t…
Oh my god, I just realized how much of a selfish dickhead I am.
Just to let you know, The Xbox One no longer requires internet for it to function, and it no longer forces Kintect useage. Its basically what it should be. Its been fixed.
Except that you can’t buy it without kinnect, it’s too expensive and its weaker than the PS4….
Kind of overshadowed by a console launch, naturally, but regardless, the game is really really good, easily one of ny favourite Zelda’s. Ice dungeon is shit though.
I wish digital sales were included in this, i bought Zelda digitally, but also wana see how much Killer Instinct has sold, that game is just amazing.
Why? Ice dungeon seems to be the majority of peoples favorite lol. it’s probably the most challenging and looks great.
It’s boring, and it feels slow.
The whole thing is just “walk on this narrow edge”, or “walk on this moving block to the other block”. And it’s just visually uninteresting, there’s nothing there, it’s just a big hole.
I saw that there was a volcano at the bottom and though “ohhh it’s gona be like a ice and fire temple, that’s hotter as you go down”. Nope. Just…blocks.
So far Saberwolf is my favorite he is the kinda guy I see in everyone’s face and rushing him down.
Im liking all the characters. Better with Jago at the moment, because i went through the Dojo mode, but yeah, Sabrewulf is awesome, he’s just fast as shit.
Glacius looks like a good character, however he is very slow, but he has long range. Hopefully spinal will be great.
Yeah, im having trouble with Glacius, he’s a tricky character.
Spinal should be sick, it’s guessing his special trait will be able to do projectile combo breakers/counter breakers, makes sense with his shield.
Did you see the leaked art book image of Fulgore?
He looks fucking sick.
Fulgore looks badass.He looks very true to his original design. Hopfully his laser eyes will be his instinct so he is not op like super man is from injustice
Looks like a Terminator xD
Yeah, Fulgore is gona be nuts.
I’m surprised he wasn’t reveled first he seem like the mascot for KI, but hey they saved the best for last.
KI needs to do well so it doesn’t die with the rest of rare’s ips. Its miles better then street fighter IV and mortal kombat. It gives new comers a better guide of how fighting games work. And veteran fighter, frame data and hit box data to better understand their combos
to be honest i don’t even think rare made this game.
wasnt it double helix?
I said rare’s IPs, and yes it was double helix
Yes, but, the game speaks for itself, it’s amazing.
Totally agree.
I only really enjoy ArcSystem fighters, like Guilty Gear and Persona 4 Arena, though i can enjoy SF, Tekken and SoulCal, but yeah, KI is really really fun.
It’s easy to get into for casuals, but has a super deep combat system for people who know what they’re doing, the dojo tutorial is the BEST thing ever, makes Capcom look like lazy pricks, teaches people how to play KI, but also fighting games in generally, meaning noobies learn how to play well, then like you said all the frame data and HB’s ect means less time trying every damn moves combination and timing like in SF, and more time doing what’s good, the actual fighting. Then all the characters are fun, and balanced and different. Online netcode is fucking flawless.
Presentation is awesome, stages are cool, runs at 60fps which make it BEAUTIFUL, music is amazing, announcer is the hypest dude on the planet, doing a Counter Breaker is the BEST.
And, No BULLSHIT CAPCOM RERELEASE SHIT!
£17 game, that just has on going “Seasons”, that add new characters, stages ect for, most likely £10-15, it’s fucking amazing.
People give this game shit because its not complete. WHAT THE HELL DO U EXPECT U CRAPPY IDOITS!!! THEY ONLY HAD 10 MONTHS. Making a fighting game is freaking hard especially since they had to redesign characters, add new additions, make it balance, and ect. Its worth 20 bucks to me, and the devs said the rest of content will come later. People shouldn’t give these devs disrespect, they have worked their ass off because microsoft is a ass to them
Yeah, to produce that in 10 months is damn impressive.
Obviously MS pushed it to be a launch title, which makes sense.
It’s just a different business model that people aren’t used to. It’s more like an MMO than a standard game, if that makes sense.
It would work for any other genre but for this it’s great.
Im sure people would love Nintendo to come out and say “hey, we’re releasing Smash Bros right now, with the original 8 characters for $20, and every X months we’ll be adding the rest bit by bit, that’ll make up for the rest of the $40, at which time the full disk version will also be available”. Everyone would be praying to them, i wish they’d do it.
But yeah, by March, first season is complete, then it’s time to look forward to Season 2, get Cinder, Combo, and Riptor back in, then who knows, would love to see at least 2 more new characters, Sadira is awesome.
A new character is going to be in season 2 form what i’ve heard. Hope its animal base like saber and riptor. Also did u get the 60$ version or the20$
I wana see one based on movie tropes, same way there’s a werewolf, ninja monk, cyborg, skeleton, i wana see something like a mummy, but like a KI mummy, do some crazy Egyptian magic shit, and smack people around with those old sickle swords xD
Is the $60 version the pin version?
I got the $40, with original KI, and all the bonus stuff, but also because you get early access to upcoming characters, like a beta.
I think i was talking about the 40$ one my mistake
I’ve design a mummy character I wonder if I can post his design to double helix I no longer have plans to use his design. I think its a great design and I want to see it use.
I also think the fighting is best due to the combo breaker system. Its balnced to the point where u actually have chance to play unlike mvc3 if combo is going with high skilled player ur screwed, but in KI u have chance
I fucking hate Marvel…
It’s like the opposite of KI, take what’s amazing about KI, reverse it, and you get Marvel. Can’t even play that game simply because the announcer is fucking shit and obnoxious haha
I can’t wait to master manual doubles, auto doubles get the job done, but cant wait to wreck shit with manuals.
The shadow counters are good too, also love combo breaking the shadow moves, where you get the “1! 2! 3!”, so satisfying, it’s like a simpler version of 3rd Strike parries.
Sadly I don’t own xbox one at the time, I refuse to buy it with the Kinect. I’m hope they make a elite version with out that thing. And if there is one thing I can say about the ps4 its freakin controller. It uses a crappy usb model, the controller only last 5-6 hours which I find stupid. The rubber on the analog sticks feel a little cheap to me as well. I’ve played the system at friends still not really impressed.
I hate it when nintendo tries to promise us and then we get dissapointment becuase of that !!
أنا فقط أعشق أسم زيلدا ❤️
No, you can’t blow up my house.
من صورتك اشمئز من مضهرك المشعر و القذر و النتن
I know i smell beautiful. you should lick these armpits.
لا ألعق القرود 🙉
Lick all the apes.
أيها القرد هل تريد الموز أم انت طفل لا حياة لك فلماذا أرد عليك ؟؟
I will slip my banana in between your mothers thighs ;)
Nintendo probably should start adding DLC dungeons(Four Swords Style) to aLBW soon, so the game might get in the top 3.
Anoma said no DLC I believe
Aw crap, again with the no DLC? :(
He won’t do it unless it gives the best content to the player. However anoma often uses unused dungeon design and concepts and uses them in other zelda games
أضن انه من المفروض ذلك لاكن في النهايه الأمر يتعلق في متعة اللاعب و أرجو أن يفكر بالأمر
This is what I got with Google Translate:
“Odhan he is supposed to in the end, I was in a matter of fun and I hope the player to think about it”
لا أتحدث الأنجليزيه بجوده
ههههه 😅
Dude whats the point of typing in Arabic if most of people dont understand.
شو عندك انت؟
ليس لدي شيء
فقط لا أجيد الأنجليزيه
وأنت تتحدث اللغة العربيه ف السلام عليك
Google translate is shit.
He says I think so too. And in the end all that matters is enjoying your games. And I hope he thinks about it.
Oh, that makes a lot more since. I guess that’s also basically Nintendo’s main goal when they make games, but now I’m pretty sure the DLC is not being made to focus on the Wii U Zelda though.
People in the UK love to buy shit games don’t they?
Once again a proff that british people don’t know shit about video games. Seriously look at that chart, it’s painful.
FIFA???????????????? ¬¬
It makes this chat invalid.
Being British, I can tell you that the British public in general have awful taste in games. Every week the chart is a testament to that. It’s very left-wing to be a Nintendo fan here, you’re either Microsoft, Sony, or both. I’ve always thought that decision was a bit like “pick your poison” but evidently most gamers in the world, and especially here in Britain, don’t.
Pretty darn good place considering it was in the same week as a console which is having one of the best console launches of all time. But personally, I expect the weekly sales of the Xbox One and PS4 to go down a LOT after Christmas. The Wii U will sell the least out of all of the three next-gen consoles, but its not going to be terrible like many people are predicting.
won’t be surprised if it ends up being number 1.
who is buying them all ?
Would have been higher if you didn’t decide to release it at the same day as the XBOX ONE Nintendo!!
Not surprised. UK continues to have a terrible taste in games.
1.FIFA 14 (UK should stop making charts this is always #1)
2.Call of Duty: Ghosts (Tsk COD)
3.Battlefield 4 (Prettier BF3)
4.Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag (Fair enough)
5.Forza Motorsport 5 (Just racing…big deal, shouldn’t be on the list)
6.LEGO Marvel Super Heroes (Meh Lego is liked by the casuals…)
7.Dead Rising 3 (Okay.)
8.Grand Theft Auto V (Facepalm.)
9.The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (Good)
10.Ryse: Son of Rome (Interactive Movie? okay then.)
