PAL Charts - Week 9, 2017
- Thread starter Bruno MB
- Start date
Not bad considering. Switch should easily reach Gamecube numbers at the very least but I think it will reach 3DS numbers in the end.

There's also clearly a bunch of people that think that Super Bomberman R represents a value for money purchase

what's a Nora like you doing in the PAL region! go back home to (Horizon location)

This is a huge problem.
1-2-Switch charting is also making me lose faith in humanity.

Horizon was always going to beat Zelda,due to that userbase ...But what a top 2, incredible games

Just Dance 2017 and Skylanders Imaginators are the only other titles listed in the Switch top 5 chart and they represent less than 2% of Switch software sold.
Ha, I stand corrected, it does seem to be sold out in several places. It wasn't on Saturday when I looked online.
Gotcha. I kinda expected it but still.
Neither game sold much in absolute terms.
If we assume Zelda sold at no more than a 1:1 rate, and it accounted for 75% of software...At best its 1.3. More likely its simply around 1.

Switch must have an attach rate < 3 as Horizon < 192k

Would have capped off a pretty triumphant return for Zelda had it been number one and if it probably would have been if not launched in one of the busiest March launch windows in a while.
Still a very good performance. Interested to see what legs its got as its basically carrying the Switch for a while

Thats a good idea. If we assume everyone bought Zelda then:
Total software sales = 107k
Attach ratio = 1.3
Total Zelda sales = 103k
Zelda had no chance looking at it now:
Horizon 192k > x > 102k
Total Switch sales = 80k
Total software sales = 107k
Attach ratio = 1.3
Total Zelda sales = 103k
Zelda had no chance looking at it now:
Horizon 192k > x > 102k
Total Switch sales = 80k

Nioh was also sold out at Amazon. Wtf is going on with amazon. Stock those games breh.
Limited stock means nothing if hardware wasn't sold out.
Someone said in last week's PAL sales thread they expected 1-2 Switch to also outsell Horizon!!

Fun Fact: Killzone Shadowfall as a PS4 launch title sold close to double what Zelda sold in its launch week.
Bonus fun fact: Developed by Guerilla Games. Also responsible for Horizon, the very same developer that denied Zelda the number one spot

Most online retailers were sold out on Friday though weren't they?

Actually, it should the 4th biggest ever launch of a Zelda title since The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time holds the crown, no idea why Chart-Track omitted it.

I was sure I'd seen some TP numbers in the previous thread and sure enough Bruno MB had said this. post #127
So Switch BotW would be < 70,000, which would mean total BotW is < 90,000.

Is this why he was banned? Seems harsh.
Chart-track does not count digital sales. I don't think any chart info we get combines retail + digital sales.

Yep. A glance at install bases would have shown this was next to impossible.
Horizon did plow its way up the best sellers list once the reviews came out but yea they should have seen it and got more stock ready.
An unreliable indicator of course but Horizon Zero Dawn since launch has been always the most streamed game on "Live on Playstation". It tells at least that the game didn't flop, because even Uncharted 4 didn't manage to stay above GTA V for that long (and it has multiplayer which keeps people streaming even after beating single player unlike Horizon)

Its not just an install base issue. Horizon was received very well.
Significant boast in UC4? Probably means significant jump in PS4 sales also?
if install base is everything than GR2 should have topped the charts too or should have done quite well.

Switch debuting less than Xbox One? almost half of Xbox one!

If horizon really outsells zelda in Japan going from retailer reports i think gaf might just go down
Too close to filthy anime for the mainstream.

Congrats to GG and Sony, they seem to have knocked it out the park with HZD.
The thirst for new IP is real!

Is this an attempt to exclude all other consoles so that we can say the switch launch was good. All we hear is that it's not a home console and a successor to 3DS but now it's a home console again and only should be compared to Wii U.

MCV reporting its the biggest launch of the year and PS4s biggest launch of a new IP in uk and Sonys biggest launch since uncharted 4
http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/horizon-zero-dawn-beats-zelda-to-no-1/0179703
This is all UK only and talking about boxed sales
So HZD < Uncharted 4
HZD > No Mans Sky (103k/110k see different reports)
HZD > Resident Evil 7
HZD > Bloodbourne
so that means its in the at least 104K+ anyone got the numbers for the other games, shocked it outsold Resident Evil 7 and For Honor as big platform games
