Fallout 4, which was first announced during E3 2015, has released and immediately jumped to the top of the wholesale chart, just as it was predicted. Everybody knew that the game was huge, and as there were problems with quantities of available wholesale stock, not everybody were able to acquire necessary amounts to fulfil all pre-orders for their customers. The wholesale price during pre-order period ranged from $43 to $46, and on the last week before the release when there was deficit of stock it even jumped to $48. The stock levels recovered and boosted though right at the release and after.
Call of Duty Black Ops 3 of course is on the second position, and Fifa 16 is on the third line. Rise of Tomb Raider released last week the same day as Fallout 4. It sells well and took the 4th position, but the game has released only for Xbox 360 and Xbox One yet, and the number of sales for Xbox platform is limited, so 4th position is exceptionally good result. The game will release for Playstation next year. Another new release, Sega’s Football Manager 2016 took the 8th position. The rest of the wholesale chart are recent releases, including Need for Speed, Assassin Creed Syndicate, Minecraft: Story Mode, Halo 5: Guardians, with the exception of GTA 5, which is the longest sale release in the wholesale chart and is always there.
