This week’s UK charts are now in via GFK Chart Track. It’s clearly been a good week for Nintendo as their immensely fun shooter Splatoon managed to enter into the individual formats chart at number three, just behind the critically acclaimed Witcher 3 on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. We haven’t got official sales numbers yet, but estimates seem to say that Splatoon sold less than 17.5k. Still, it’s great to see a Wii U exclusive near the top of the chart.

Dan the highest or one of the highest positions a wii u game has been in the uk charts
In terms of debut? Yes. It is tied with Mario Kart 8’s debut.
In terms of highest at any one time? No. Mario Kart 8 actually got into 2nd place once. http://mynintendonews.com/2014/06/16/uk-charts-mario-kart-8-climbs-into-second-position-tomodachi-life-sits-at-12/
But in terms of one of the highest? Absolutely.
I think there is serious potential for s platoon to move up. This game blew away my expectations even though it’s “barebones” Nintendo finally got their online shooter and did fantastic with it. Hoping they flesh out the local multilayer with a update as well, I’d love to play with some friends at my place locally against computers or against 4v4 online. Should allow up to 4 locally with toggle button for the touch screen and then you can just move and click where you want to drop air strike or whatever… or support multiple touch pads. I’m hoping for a redesign and cheaper pad at e3. Slimmer pad is near imo.
The UK is possibly Nintendo of Europe’s toughest market, and of course it will not sell too well here (though I did my part) but 17.5K? That’s worse than I thought it’d be to be honest, granted its only 2 days of sales data but that’s a really small number for the amount of push its had. Granted it’ll sell better in Japan hopefully and far better in the US but hopefully it picks up a bit, I can see it getting a good amount of sales from parents at Christmas!
It really is. All people play in Ireland and the UK seems to be fifa, battlefield and GTA. Don’t get me wrong. I love gta but there’s no variety I don’t think in what people play in “our market”. It’s a tough seller.
I feel as though a lot of people were holding back for initial reviews. I was hesitant, but decided to buy launch day on the way home from work. I’ve only bought 2 other wiiU launch titles so far (MK8 & Hyrule Warriors special editions at Nintendo World) and wish there was a LE Splatoon game launched as I probably would’ve spent the night before work on the sidewalk. I figured it would be decent and have had a blast getting the hang of the game and holding my own against some really good players.
>>>Excellent, our forces have repelled most of the corrupted nonsense for once>>>
That’s not a terrible result for the UK. If that is indicative of how it has done elsewhere, then it should have moved quite a few.
Does that included digital? There is a launch offer via the eShop.
No
When will japana and US charts be shown.
Japan-Wednesday.
America-About the middle of the month.
I wonder if Nintendo will release the Splatoon Squid mp3 player lol :-P
Reblogged this on Otaku Orbit.
Good place for Splatoon.
Also, Mario Kart 8 is there again. There is no stopping Mario Kart 8…
this can’t be happening. why the heck every game am saying is going to flop always sell? :'(
UK loves shooting games what did u expect?
Because it’s a debut you idiot. Of course it was going to place decently high in the charts for it’s first week…
……………………..
And a ……………………….. to you too.
If Batman: Arkham Knight lists anywhere near the top when it launches then the ps4 and xbox one fanbases are truly retardf and a cancer to gaming.
retarded*
U hate batman?
No. The season pass is $39. Terrible business practise.
The Mario Kart 8 DLC in full was like 3 times less than that. In this case, it’s $60 for the game and $39 for the Season Pass? So $99 is how much they are ACTUALLY trying to sell it for, dispite it costing $60 in store. What does this season pass include that it costs that much???
Catwoman story dlc, skins, additional challenges, batmobil skin, race tracks etc.
Oh please. Batman Arkham Knight will be awesome. You don’t need to buy the DLC if you don’t want to. It doesn’t take away from the main story.
Yes. This all the way, you do t have to buy the season pass. Arkham Knight is goth material.. Haters gonna hate….
Although I do hate that season pass bullshiz
Yeah, I know. I was originally not going to get it at all because I thought it was ridiculous. But I ended up getting the game for free so I’m considering it now. If I were you though, I’d suggest you wait and get whatever you want seperately.
Number 1 new ip launch in the UK
Those newer batman games are ass.
No they aren’t. Have you even played them?..
Arkham Asylum and Arkham City are the best Batman games out there.
However, Arkham Origins was a waste and a shameless rehash. That, I can agree, is “ass.” I honestly wish it would have never been made…
Arkham Knight will hopefully be amazing. But, the extreme rip-off that is the DLC season pass has me weary. Plus… my general experience with PS4/Xbone so far. Everything is either broken or boring.
All subjective I suppose, but I’ve never even come across someone who has PLAYED the Arkham games (the first 2 at least) and hasn’t liked them.
I’m getting this game tomorrow. Splatoons and Puzzle &Dragons/Super Mario bros. I played the Demo and that is one hell of a RPG game one hell of a game indeed. I just had to buy it. If you ain’t played it download the Demo of Puzzle and Dragon Z. You are going to LOVE it. 5/5 , 10/10. Trust me.
I wonder if the stolen truck affected the sales at all.
The Witcher 3 deserves the number one spot. I can finally say the U.K.’s top three are good games. Holy shit, take a picture, and take some notes. It may never happen again…
FIFA 2020
The Witcher is fantastic. I’d highly suggest getting it if you have the means. Splatoon really surprised me as well. Really fun and unique game.
well guess what guys… nintendo finally advertise the bloody gme at the right time on TV. I would not be surprise if the game do better.
