Assassin's Creed Mirage also held its place at No.2 following its debut last week, even though it saw a 77% decline in sales. Like EA Sports FC, sales of the PlayStation 5 version were highest.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor jumped from No.7 to No.3 courtesy of a 116% rise in sales due to price reductions on PlayStation 5.

Two new titles debuted in the Top Ten this week, with Lords of the Fallen taking the No.4 spot and The Grinch: Christmas Adventure ranking at No.8.

The new Forza Motorsport failed to reach the Top 20, debuting at No.23. The only other new release in the charts this week was Fortnite Transformers Pack at No.17.

Meanwhile, retailer discounts saw Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope and the Red Dead Redemption remaster re-enter the Top Ten at No.5 and No.6, respectively.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom dropped out of the Top Ten for the first time since its release in May, falling five spots to No.15 even with no change in sales from last week.

This chart needs to be built from the ground up.

No details on forza's performance? not even a word about sales compared to forza motorsport 7.

Well, FM7 debuted on the second place only behind FIFA, so you can guess that sales are abysmal.

I know that, but I'm asking why the article doesn't mention it.
It just says that he started in 23rd place, which doesn't tell us much.

Outsold by The Grinch: Christmas Adventures on it's debut week

Brutal..

 

[Plextorage]

Funny thing how Installbase doesn't have any comment on Forza crappy sales where supposedly racing games to better in UK. @Welfare what happened there?

 

[Dabaus]

No hardware mention?

 

[FatKaz]

Oh wow look some comparisons between platforms

GfK's report showed that the Xbox Series X|S version of EA Sports FC dropped the most, while PlayStation 5 saw the majority share of sales.

Assassin's Creed Mirage also held its place at No.2 following its debut last week, even though it saw a 77% decline in sales. Like EA Sports FC, sales of the PlayStation 5 version were highest.

Nice one Chris, oh wait.....

Spoiler

Chris didn't do the article

Nobody plays Forza, at no point was it ever popular. GT is very different in that regard and it probably comes from them capturing that audience a long time ago and never letting go.

It like trying to compare other platformers to Mario. Even if another dev makes a game in that genre that is comparable it is not going to sell.

Add Gamepass to that and it's a game that doesn't even make sense, they probably wont release another one until nextgen and this one will soon be delisted and no one will notice (just how it happened to the last one).

The only Forza I know is Forza Milan...

 

[AllBizness]

Forza is still inaccurate as ever ofcourse sales are low.

 

[flaccidsnake]

It doesn't need to sell because 20M people subscribed to Game Pass to play it. What's that? You want to see the numbers? Sorry, that's proprietary information.

 

[Alabtrosmyster]

Do we know the number of simultaneous players?

 

[Gods&Monsters]

Chris Dring had no way to twist the numbers for Forza so he called in sick. Embarrassing.

We also get EU numbers before NPD. Where are they?
