UK Charts: Project CARS Races To The Top

The UK charts are in! Project CARS launched this week for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and has shot straight to the top 2 spots. It also released on PC, but that only reached number 11– which is still not bad! It has yet to release on the Wii U, but when it does I suspect we’ll be seeing it high placing again. The other two new titles are both Nintendo with Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush and Puzzle & Dragons Z: Super Mario Edition, Kirby entering in at 18 and Puzzle & Dragons in a 32. This knocks Mario Party 10 down to 37, but it’s still hanging in strong. Do you think Nintendo titles have done well this week? Check the charts out for yourself:

  1. Awesome. Project Cars looks great. Glad it’s doing well over there. Also, look! Kirby is on the list too! :D

    1. Glad it’s off to a good start but the Wii U version however is gonna suffer more than likely because of its late release, just like every fucking third party game out there for it.

      1. Jtz from Gad tribe

        Yeah it well. It would have still sucked even if it came out on time. The sterotype is a game will be best on more powerful platformers. And if it’s not true then why does Nintendo need to make the next console more powerful than the Wii U then? Why not just make it equally powerful to Wii U with better advertisement then? Since advertising is the reason over power?

        1. Exactly. Wii U is the sad poster child of the current gen in terms of misunderstood existence and now PC is suffering the same being in the shadows of two gimped PC wannabe boxes that charges DUMBASSES to play online that’s free everywhere else.

        2. If it was really about power, the PC version would be # 1. & since Project CARS started on PC, it should be optimized for PC, & therefor the best version in terms of performance. Power is only important now due to rampant multiplatting. But the hardware’s ease of use & price is also important. The original PlayStation, PS2, & Wii, even 360 compared to PS4’s early years, showed that power was not the biggest factor; it was marketing, price, games, & in Wii’s case, an intuitive (for some genres) & “new” way to play.

          Consoles naturally increase in power each gen, it’s just a matter of how much & how that power is used. But most only judge by raw specs & what’s right in front of them; seeing behind them only as far as their wallets.

          PlayStation brand is strong in the eyes of consumers. Commercials, slick looks, Open World, FPS, stories, graphics, 3rd parties…PS4 has it all, right? Even a few exclusives. In today’s climate, as long as it ain’t vaporware, looks cool, costs $400, & there’s little to no knowledge of how actual consoles work & what console-gaming & 3rd parties were in the past, hype, sex (always), raw specs, violence, & photorealism sells.

          Welcome to the new pollution. Most love it, hence most hate the plumber (I prefer the ape, but hey, that’s just me).

      1. I’ll never listen to someone who can play with a Game Pad… on a XBoxOne… and cannot even spell shit right.

        Thanks for trolling though. Wait. For trying.

  2. I expected Kirby to be behind Puzzles and Dragons for some reason. I guess that Puzzle games aren’t exactly many people of the U.K’s cup of tea.

    1. How much is Puzzle & Dragons anyway? I personally don’t see why anyone would pay more than a Dollar for just another puzzle game that’s barely any different from the billion other ones you can get for free on your smartphone.

        1. Does the Xbox One really overheat though like some people keep saying? I’m curious because the 360 starts get hot not that long after I turn it on. My PS4 usually feels cool most of the time. And the only time it got hot and turned itself off is that day I stayed up playing GTA V all night and left it on for like a day straight. It was like it was saying “Dude. Get off the games and get some sleep!” XD

          1. Nah its just delusional fanboys perpetuating bs like always, although the 360 did get hot a lot but it never once turned off on me. My PS3 on the other hand turned off a lot, but its because the fans for some reason attract a lot of dust. You have faulties with everything though so some complains might be justified. Also the XBO is pretty much made up of fans lol half of that shit open.

            My only complain about it are the install times, if you’re connected to the internet while installing from disc it takes forever to install, and I mean forever. You have to disconnect from WIFI or LAN so it can install faster. -_-

          2. I would not hope so. If the Xbox look like a VHS it’s because of the air flow and avoid this type of issue. I don’t like the Xbox but as an Engineering point of view I found it interesting. Anyway I would be really surprise and interested to see evidences of an xbox 1 overheating.

          1. -_- we get it strange, you don’t XBOX, XBOX is shit, bill gates played with your booty whole, we get it.

            What you don’t seem to understand is that your opinion is just that, your opinion. I don’t care and I’m pretty sure a lot of people here don’t care that you hold a grudge against MS. Just like they don’t care that I don’t give a shit about apple and their over price phones.

            No one cares stranga. -_-

  3. “When Wii U version is released, I’m sure we’ll be seeing it placing higher again”

    Are you on fucking Mars? This is UK, who despises Nintendo and didn’t even bother to buy enough Wii U and games, isn’t gonna buy the Wii U at all especially when the port comes late. And now it’s gonna suffer with PC as well or worse.

    1. haha, was just about to comment on the same thing. No way in hell that the game places high on the Wii U.

      1. Not even if it came out on time especially in the stupid likes of UK who doesn’t give two fucks about Nintendo but Nintendo is still retarded to reward them more and better than US which is fucking sickening.

        1. the stupid are also the yank which are from my point of view hyprocite like you and don’t give a damn about nintendo either look at your fucking chart before you argue a case on UK stupidity… #justsaying

            1. Well u make my case. So why don’t you mentioned the fact Usa like UK have the same philosophy in term of gaming. U slag UK when you have the opportunity but failed to mention USA.just do us a favour next time you want slag a set of countries just mentioned the same happen in USA. That is my point.

      2. Nope and now that I think about it, I’ll probably pass on this game now. I’ve played many of the same before even EA’s Real Racing 3 on mobile is somewhat familiar.

    2. And like the USA are fucking better:

      1. Mortal Kombat X (PS4, Xbox One)
      2. Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, Xbox One, PC, 360, PS3)
      3. Battlefield: Hardline (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)
      4. MLB 15: The Show (PS4, PS3)
      5. Minecraft (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4)
      6. NBA 2K15 (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)
      7. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)
      8. Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)
      9. Super Smash Bros. (3DS, Wii U)
      10. Borderlands: The Handsome Collection (PS4, Xbox One)

      Told you several times not to slag UK too much cause USA (not america) are the same as UK. And BTW this is that hypocrisy which really piss me off. Instead you should have a go at the USA for being brainless then maybe you can comment on UK market. Unlike you in Uk it’s a weekly chart not a monthly one.

        1. Ok that a point but you fail to say it and you always mentioned UK only without mentioning the rest of the video game community. So from my point of view it’s just seem that you having a go at the UK frequently and USA or even north America is Ok cause so far in the comment section I never see you stating Usa are stupid brainless tasteless moron like those guys in UK.

          1. Listen, I’m not even defending USA one bit because they too are a fucking joke for many reasons that I can even type an e-book about it.

            Gaming is screwed and full of morons no matter if it’s consumers, business publishers or designers.

  4. Jtz from Gad tribe

    GTA V no longer advertised and in 4th spot still adveragIng top 5. And they blame advertising is the reason wii u sales and software suck. MK and Smash should have still been in top 5 like that. But because Wii u is weak it aint.

    1. Er… Lack of advertisement IS another reason why. GTA doesn’t need the kind of advertising the Wii U does because tons of people already know what it is. Just a simple teaser alone for GTA 6 will probably bring in a couple million sales.

      1. Couple of million? lol After GTA5 outshined 4 and took COD’s top sales record away, GTA6 will make more than a billion than GTA5. I think GTA6 might go back to present day Vice City which is based on Miami. :)

  5. Peanut Butter Kit Kat

    It will be interesting to see how this turns out on the Wii U, the GamePad features could be potentially mind blowing on this but we shall see.

  6. “It has yet to release on the Wii U, but when it does I suspect we’ll be seeing it high placing again.” No. It won’t. People said the same thing about Watch Dogs and Splinter Cell and that barely sold any copies at all. Why would anyone wait for the Wii U version when Xbox and Sony already have it? Wii U isn’t a bad console but I swear its 3rd party support is abysmal.

    1. Get Project CARS. Awesome game for PC.

      You need racing simulator for the full experience though. :\

  7. Peanut Butter Kit Kat

    To be fair, Namco really pushed this in the UK up to it’s release, I doubt that the Wii U version will be promoted in such a way. Probably another 3rd party stealth release.
