UK Sales Charts: Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Takes a Running Leap into the Top 10

I've been really enjoying Avatar, it does nothing new but the world is stunning and it captures the feel of the films really well.

Where is GTA V lol

Surprised and a little saddened it didn't come in higher. I guess the Ubisoft name tends to put people off early adoption. I'm sure the inevitable "Complete Edition" will be where the majority join the club. Though it's in a very good place right now on PS5.

@DennisReynolds I think it's world is a pretty unique feature compared to it's contemporaries. Maybe not 'new' per se but they've perfected exploration and the use of an interactive, open world.

That's pretty poor for a new ubisoft game of a big popular IP.

Avatar has some tough competition

Remember this is boxed only. Near Xmas too.

And savvy gamers now know to wait with Ubisoft games. Plus you can sub to Ubisoft+ for a month to play it.

Is the source gameindustry.biz?
Edit: I've answered my own question, yes it is. They also have an article about PS5 sales being up 217% over last year while Xbox sales remained flat. That's nuts (but also totally makes sense)!

@UltimateOtaku91 I think it being first person is an issue. I don’t mind first person games but I know a lot of people who won’t even try a game if it’s first person.

Anyone else feeling like me: the UI is too convoluted and open world wise no proper guide markers to take u to the next objective. Ended up replaying Cyberpunks PS5 version and dlc

3rd in paid games on UK Digital, so not as bad. I know its Fifa and CoD, but normally big new games with big IPs still at least debut at 1 digitally for one week though. Ubisoft paints themselves into a corner with it's big price drops, I suppose.

Interesting on the digital PS store FF16 is finally back up to 5, and BG3 is back in the top 10 again.

@Rmg0731 have you got the exploration mode on or guided? 'Guided' will show objective markers on the map and will highlight objects in the 'senses' mode. 👍

I'd still recommend the exploration mode as it gives you the chance to learn the world better and encounter more points of interest and wildlife. You just have to follow the written directions rather than it being given to you. Each to their own on that though.

Mario Kart 8 deluxe doing for the Switch what GTAV did for the other consoles 😂

It beat Mario kart that's say something

@somnambulance in the uk MW3 is about 35% down on sales according to the link I clicked over on PX about the series sales increase.

Maybe some are waiting for it to hit GP?

@somnambulance think I’ve said it previously that MS need to give it a year off. To look into it all fully.

It won’t happen obviously but it needs it.
