Here are the Media Create sales figures for Week #42 2018: [prebreak]1[/prebreak]

Following on from its launch week push, Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII remains in the top spot, still tripling the weekly sales of Super Mario Party in second place. New to the chart this week are PS4 games Soul Calibur VI and Cry Star, as well as the long-awaited Switch releases of Dark Souls Remastered and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy.

Looking at the rest of the chart, Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon catch my eye. Holding steadfast at #14, I'll be interested to see how they fare in the weeks leading up to the eagerly awaited Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee. Will fans be eager to dive in before release, or will they hold off in anticipation? Only time will tell!

Not surprised Black Ops 4 is still number one, that game has just as much hype as fortnite, considering.

It's weird, it feels as though I've heard nothing about it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not exactly interested in the CoD series, but it's usually just... Everywhere I guess? Seen more about Red Dead 2 coming soon.

Neither am I, but the Blackout stuff does have me interested

there is nothing to hear about, it literally adds nothing new beyond a battle royale mode, multiplayer is just BO3 without enchanced mobility and the granades were replaced by character powers, thats it, oh and they removed the only thing that kept me coming, the campaign, so yeah, pretty much nothing to see.

Huh, a CoD game without a campaign? So it's migrated to a solely multiplayer experience?

Basically

Yeah, they finally realised most people were sick of their rehashed and subpar campaign mode, so they decided to make a good decision and save money to invest in the other modes.

somewhat, they have a rainbow six siege style tutorials to teach you each character and PVE in both the zombies mode and the few zombies laying around in blackout, as i said, it adds nothing beyond a cliche battle royale mode, it doesnt even look that much different from BO3, easily the worst call of duty ever.

I thought Japan hated shooters..

Yes but Japan coined the term Battle Royale in its modern use.

before the creation of the first person shooter, that is.
