Did you know a new Need for Speed came out last week? | UK Boxed Charts

Need for Speed Unbound only makes No.17. The Callisto Protocol debuts at No.6 and PS5 accounted for 74% of the game's physical sales.

'The Callisto Protocol debuts at No.6 and PS5 accounted for 74% of the game's physical sales.'.

That's a big slice of the pie.

Being that it's the, mostly, only functional version; with PC being basically broken.

Won't be surprised it doesn't even hit the list very soon.

[Knushwood Butt]

OK, that's one angle, but it doesn't apply to NFS does it?

'78% of boxed sales for the EA racing game came on PS5.'.

Playstation has a much bigger market share in the UK than Xbox does. The vast majority of next gen Xbox users are on series s which is a digital system. UK chart tracks physical sales. You do the math.

I didn't know it was this giant competition.

I made the comment purely because of the reasons mentioned and the controversy around the game.

[Knushwood Butt]

The article is a sales report.

Competition? MS are buying up publishers to increase competition, remember?

I take it Xbox gamers don't buy games now because of GP lol

[badz149]

no need to buy when you knew the game will be in the vault just several months from now. IF I subs to GP, I know I won't be buying any MS and EA games, EVER!

NFS launched at #17?? how the mighty have fallen. EA should just put the game to sleep now and let Criterion makes something else

[EvertonFC]

You wouldn't buy it anyway.

I have bought all non-NFS games from Criterion before. Personally I think a Burnout game would do better than NFS commercially. There is basically no game like Burnout being released for a long time now.
