Here is the information, if no one likes to read the article.

There is one other game that makes its chart debut this week -- My Universe: Puppies and Kittens on Nintendo Switch, also published by Maximum Games. The title actually came out in November, but it finally makes the charts this week at No.37.

Elsewhere in the Top Ten, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is up a place to No.4, but sales dropped 23% week-on-week. And Horizon Forbidden West is down to No.7 after a 41% sales fall.

Here is the GfK UK Boxed Top Ten for the week ending March 19:

Aside from the horrible economy and required grinding, GT7 is an excellent game. But they had to get greedy and ruin it.

The game is not a problem for regular people. Aside of the downtime, all they care is the racing part.

I expect the sales to be strong, since those people don't read gaming news or forums.

Ports, Lazy sport games, lazy Pokemon games, a tired Ubisoft Open World style game (Horizon) and a Microtransactioned online only game (Gran Turismo), What a bad top ten.

At least there is Elden Ring is selling well. It just goes to show that Gamers want to be challenged and not spoonfed like all these yawner Ubisoft style games do like Horizon.

Is this supposed to be a spoof OP?

 

[Kokoloko85]

Ubisoft wished it produced something like Horizon 2 lol

Like I said the other day: most consumers are not forum dwellers and they don’t care about this stuff.

 

[SLB1904]

The game is fantastic well deserved

 

[ethomaz]

The deserved.
Sadly it got down for almost a day last week but that is not related to the quality of the game itself.

I keep doing thing and more things open in the game… I was no expecting Missions outside License, Circuit Experience and normal races.

Played very little and have 630k credits (I spend a bit with old cars, tires and stuffs)… maybe I should have around 1 million if I did not buy things to test lol

Didn’t have time to touch the Sport Mode yet.

 

[lh032]

lmao, seems like they are not going to remove or tone down the MTX soon.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Gran Turismo 7 having much better legs than Horizon Forbidden West. wow...game's already at #7?

 

[Markio128]

It has been a brilliant start to the year for gamers.

 

[reksveks]

Second week where the gsd and gfk #1 will be different?

Also people did the maths and Ff:SOP opened at less than 4720. That's Horizon's number this week.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Slow week when ~13k sold copies is enough for #1.

Final Fantasy is a bit disappointing, maybe digital will save it.

Game is great, and the UK loves its racing games

Playstation is one stupid fuck. Lol.

GT7 should of released with Elden Ring. They could have pushed Horizon further. But what do I know.

Too much edge in that edge sandwich.

 

[SpongebobSquaredance]

that's terrible and casts a bad light on the future of gaming.

GT7 is a great game, well deserved success.

Lognor how does that make you feel?

Nevertheless, it continues to sell well at retail and held No.1 despite a 42% drop in sales week-on-week.

42% drop week on week, it was a pretty damn slow week overall.

Next week will be telling. I expect a big drop off. Maybe out of top 10

I wouldnt hold on that one. There is no big game that is coming soon.
The game is a racing game. All old folks in europe like cars. So GT7 is the perfect game for them. Just like how fifa is big in europe.

Well if it holds then the news of the downtime did nothing. The game has gotten a lot of bad press the last several days. I expect that to do something to sales. Could be wrong though!

Only forum gamers, or those who follow gaming news care about it.
These are casuals. They make up 60%-70% of gaming consoles.

I read it like "I hate games" lol

he was downplaying fifa and wwe 2k.

Well I have no issue with FIFA at all... it is probably the most played game in Brasil... before the COVID-homeoffice we used to play it every break time at office.

If you are a football fan (Sorry Americans), you will play fifa. Since you will want to play as your team.
Game is super massive in all the continent. Only thing that stops it, is the limited consoles.

As a result of WWE, last week's No.2 -- Gran Turismo 7 by Sony -- drops to third place after a 70% drop in digital sales week-on-week

Thanks I will update.
That gives around 23k digital for second week.

 

[Raven117]

I have enjoyed the experience quite a bit. (Though damn...Im real tired of playing catch on those cafe races...that doesn't feel like racing...makes you drive like a crazy person to get up in the top 3 in only a few laps.)

They just need to fix up the economy, shape up the multiplayer, and we will be good to go!

Nah, I think its gonna be high, I don't think any big noteworthy release is coming out except Ghostwire maybe.

Do you mean that you expect a franchise that keep in UK list for years after release to drop from TOP10 after four weeks?

Yeah, seems like no one agrees with me. LOL. It's okay. I'll eat crow if I'm wrong.

42% drop week on week, it was a pretty damn slow week overall.

Let the excuses pour in about why its success is actually a failure. As a reference Elden ring dropped 69% week on week in the second week. Only 42% is actually good.
