It makes you wonder if Far Cry 4 could potentially overtake AC Unity.

I'm not sure if FIFA 14 XB1 sold that much... how much Xbox One sold in UK debut? That saying that every Xbox One owner bought FIFA 14 (if I'm not wrong you have the option to choose FIFA 14 or Forza 5).I would imagine it is probably something like. COD: G, COD: AW, Fifa, Fifa, Destiny and Titanfall.
TLOUR was around 70k for those asking.
At first glance PES looks like a bomb.
Well at least that means I can pick it up for cheap soon.
Was Beyond Gotham not released on the Wii U yet, or is it really just that much of a pariah in the territory...?
I would have thought it was the type of broad demo third party title that would perform [relatively] well on the system.

The question is why is Unity down then?
Is it all down to the reviews? I find it hard to believe it's apathy for Ubisoft style of open world gameplay when Watch Dogs sold so damn well.
PES has been down so much in recent years that Konami is now in a position where they're going to have to regain trust from users.

This pleases me. Watch Dogs should be Ubisoft's flagship franchise going forward. This is good. So much potential, and the first game was already pretty damn awesome.If the numbers are accurate :
Watch_Dogs PS4 SKU > AC Unity PS4 + XB1
A new Ubi IP that launched dead in summer sold more on the PS4 alone than their holiday flagship established IP on all platforms.
Xbox marketing deal not paying off for either CoD:AW or AC:Unity.
Black Flag's launch was staggered since next gen consoles were releasing at different times. Similar to COD Ghosts.
Were the XB1 bundles with ACU and CODAW digital game codes? And were those counted?
To be absolutely fair, we don't know if the marketing deal has any factor at all or not.
Let's wait to see if FC4 sells gangbustas or not.
I think he meant PS4 versions outselling the Xbone versions
I wonder how word of mouth will affect MCC next week.

Is Black Flag 360 and PS3 only or PS4 and XB1 first week included?
Wow. Why the huge drop from 3 to 4? People waiting for next gen or burned by 3?
What's the point of having co-marketing deals if every game sells better on the competitor's platform.

360 and PS3 but ACU is only PS4 and X1.
Could be far worse.What's the point of having co-marketing deals if every game sells better on the competitor's platform.
Fair enough, i think AC4s huge drop compared to 3 could be because a lot of people waited for the next gen version.
Could be far worse.
If you're Microsoft you don't want a Watch Dogs situation with too many big games.
Many many thanks to Raist, felipeko, BishopLamont, BKK, Pranay_ and dabra for taking their time doing it every week!

AC IV numbers were only PS3/X360. If you add PS4/XB1 launch week numbers IRC it goes to 260k. Still a drop but a lesser drop compared to AC III and on par with the rest of AC games.
AC: Unity shows the bigger problem though. Of course Ubisoft will say it's a smaller userbase thus less sales.
In my opinion the sales peaked at AC III, game was terrible, people started getting fatigued of the series and thus sales have been decreasing since then. Assassin's Creed was never a franchise to be milked every year because there is a reason why GTA games are such a beast, every release feels like a special day because it happens once every 4 years. AC could have been that special if they decided to take their time but Ubisoft saw the potential to finally get their COD or FIFA and now they are on verge of seeing it fall apart.
Someone posted in the other thread, sales for ACIV on all 4 consoles during it's first week of sale was 260K which apparently ACU and Rouge combined beat.

260k seems more in line of what ACs sold before 3.
AC3 was the first time they actually went all in on the marketing. They had a bunch of articles about this with various trade sites.I think the novelty of 3 being the first game set in America caused an aberrant sales spike.
