DATA MAY CHARTS MONTHLY CHARTS
There was a distinct lack of titles out last month and arguably only one blockbuster, but some mid-tier games still saw high sales. Alex Calvin examines the May charts
THIS MONTH’S UPS AND DOWNS
UNIT SALES
The number of games sold last month fell by nine per cent year-on-year
COMPARED to April, May was a relatively quiet month. 1.2m units were sold last month, a drop
of nine per cent year-on-year. But the revenue generated by software sales rose seven per cent to £30.2m. These fi gures would be far higher were the launches of Watch Dogs and Mario Kart 8 included (data is only up until May 24th). While the new Wolfenstein title from Bethesda topped the All Formats Top 50 –
and ranked highly in the Individual Formats Chart – the individual SKU to shift the most units was Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition. It’s a great achievement when you consider that this physical SKU launched over a year ago. It certainly bodes well for the newly released PlayStation 3 Edition. The success of Wolfenstein helped Bethesda signifi cantly increase its market share in terms of both money made and units sold.
