UK Sales Charts: Armored Core 6 Mechs an Impact with Number One Debut

After taking three months and nearly 300 hours to beat Tears of the Kingdom on Switch, I finally got around to starting Final Fantasy XVI this weekend. I’m only ten hours in, but it’s absolutely incredible. What I find more incredible, however, is the fact that it’s not in the top 40 this week. I don’t quite understand why it isn’t selling more.

Do we know the platform split % for AC6?

Haters, back off! ACVI is a hit 🔥🔥🔥

I get that it's probably on sale but buying FIFA 23 when then new one is out in less than a month seems pretty pointless

@Quintumply no sales at all for the xbone lol?

@Cherip-the-Ripper Armored Core 6 uses smart delivery so there's only 1 physical version for Xbox containing both versions (though with smart delivery games the Series X|S version is usually a full internet download for physical releases).

@Quintumply How is there a PC physical %? Issnt this a digital only Game on PC, or a Code in a Box?

@Shepherd_Tallon ba dum tsh 😂

I just picked it up last night. I haven't had too much time to play it yet but from the little I did play? It seems really great! Looking forward to playing it more today.

Congratulations to From for another well earned success.

@Quintumply @Grumblevolcano ah right ofcourse, that makes sense. Thanks!

@Powerplay94 Probably when also taking into consideration digital copies, the PC will get most sales, a bit above PS. From Software has huge fanbase on PC, that's why Sony needs a new BloodBorne, to atract some of those FS fans. Curious about Japan sales, but I wouldn't bet it selling more than 100K copies.

Thats the from software impact.all the dark souls game.sekiro shadows die twice.and bloodborne helps.and people have been waiting for a excellent mech game.and like tag team music.whoop there it is.haha.word up son

@The_Pixel_King 100%, it's amazing. I'd imagine a lot of people who were going to buy it all bought it week one.

Meanwhile a PS3 game is still convincing enough people to go out and physically buy it to put it in the top ten.

People typing AC, you'd think a new Assassin's Creed was out. Maybe ArCo or ACore dunno, because the Creed has already taken them initials.

@kyleforrester87 Yes I know but let's face it Assassin's Creed has stolen those initials with the more mainstream popularity and those consistent releases the past years.

@somnambulance Not surprised. Have you seen the Steam numbers? Aveum got a staggering all-time peak of 751 players…

@kyleforrester87 😁

Wow Mario Kart. Unbelievable. Played it all weekend with my kids.

@somnambulance tbh I follow gaming news more than most people still, and I'd never even heard of the game until I saw your comment talking about how poorly it's doing lol.

And now, looking at it, it seems to be kind of a mess in terms of optimization on everything!

@somnambulance Marketing fail for sure. The generic title doesn't help.

In fairness, 2023 has been a pretty stacked year so far in terms of acclaimed AAA releases. Not a good time not to be Hogwarts, Zelda, Baldur's Gate, Spider-Man, or Starfield.

My next ps5 games after I'm done with elden ring and ff 16 😃

@Ralizah you'd think a game covered by Digital Foundry with an over 200K views video would get decent sales. Seems not. People really don't care to play 7/10 games these days, even if sone may be very good.
Anyway, I'll buy a copy for 30€, but I buy all my games on discount, even 10/10s.

@Sil_Am Coverage was not great though. Game utilizes advanced UE5 features and in doing so image quality takes a gargantuan hit.

@Sil_Am I think you can be right but I also think sometimes people overestimated a little pc sales. For example the Elden Ring case, there are companies who said 41% of the sales were on PS while 29% on pc. For a game that has sold more than 20 million, 2 million (10%) is a lot, most PS games on Steam didn't sell 2 million copies lol.

So I'm sure fromsoft has a large fanbase on pc but as large as the gaming community on pc is there is still a difference in games designed with console as their priority. Also elden ring was a mega success so it doesn't tell the whole picture of realistic sales numbers for other games.

In the case of Baldur's Gate 3, a game companies say has reached 5 million copies early access included, their sales on pc will be larger than on ps because BG is a big pc classic (and a lot of console user just play freaking call of duty lol)

My first armored core. Really enjoying it. The more bitesized structure really fits my lifestyle right now.

Number 1 👩‍🦲 mech it so

Glad its doing well as its fantastic.

How is MK8 still pulling in such high numbers?

I picked this(AC6) up on sat on steam. I am truly impressed. It' plays like no other game and runs buttery smooth.

@4th_at_EVO whenever someone buys a switch, they immediately buy MK8, because that's what all their friends are playing. Simples.

I always find it very interesting how the US and UK sales charts can be vastly different. Can be a display of different genres of gaming interests.

This of course excludes the games like Mario or GTA that are always in the top ranking for years.
