Germany Playstation domination!

 

[Miles Quaritch]

It's fine. Jan and Feb are usually wastelands.

Remember that one year we got Darksiders and Bayonetta in January?


Good times.

Are Nordic charts dead?

They haven't been updated since last year.

I'm guessing it has something to do with this:

The four independent Nordic trade associations in the Game industry (MDTS, MUF, FIGMA, NSM) is per 1/1 2016 unified in a single pan Nordic setup: Association for the Nordic Game Industry (ANGI).
ANGI will now represent the entire Nordic video games industry.

Since 2012 the four local organizations has been banded together in ANGI as a pan Nordic umbrella organization. ANGI has now transformed into a centralized and more lean organization and the local organizations are per 1/1 formally dissolved – all forces are now joined in ANGI.

So in other words it will all be yearly release information instead? I at least think that was all they did plus some random promotion of different developer conventions.

Not sure. One of the swedisn sites had weekly nordic charts, so maybe they'll go for that, since they're consolidating everything. But who knows.

If you mean PlayZine? yeah they haven't answered on any of my queries yet. I've sent 2 and I don't know if I should be "crowding" them :/

I told you!

The Division will play the Pokéflute!

But seriusly, wonder if Black Ops III got a boost compared to last week, because if is still a bit over 30K, that's not good for Streeth Fighter...

Game was 20£ a week ago on Amazon.

If COD didn't have a bump, that's a serious bomba... Unless everyone wanted that Chun Li costume

Game was 20£ a week ago on Amazon.

It has been for a few weeks at this point. They were price matching Tesco, which is why there was a COD bump last weeks chart.

 

[Ninja Sharingan]

Streetfighter didnt make number 1? Oh dear

I hope this early release doesn't damage the franchise

 

[stryke]

Looks like a poor opening.

People really want that campaign...?

 

[madmackem]

No surprise street fighter not hitting number one, I've not seen on to ad for it all weekend while watching football which is normally packed with video game ads. I had seen more the order ads at launch. Strange one Sony doesn't seem to be pushing it not in the normal places like ad time during football.

Depends who's doing the marketing. I wouldn't be shocked if Sony gave them some cash and then everything else is on Capcom. They probably can't afford ads.

If it's number 1 in the single format charts, it's probably good enough compared to the marketing spend.

Probably more to do with lack of awareness and reports of it flat out not working.

If its not working then thats a good reason. But lack of awareness of a premier game in its genre? Nah i don't buy that.

Yikes. I was expecting SF5 to take the top spot this week.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Combined chart

1. Call of Duty: Black Ops 3
2. Street Fighter V
3. FIFA 16
4. LEGO Marvel Avengers
5. GTA V

 

[Miles Quaritch]

For whatever reason, it did feel like SF5 didn't have the same level of hype behind it as SF4 did.

 

[Hasney]

If there's no marketing for the game, how would those that don't visit game sites know it's out?

SFV is top of the individual formats at least, so it's not a total disaster. Although COD dropping 25% and it still not managing to get past it has to be a touch worrying.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

1. Call of Duty: Black Ops 3
2. Street Fighter V
3. FIFA 16
4. LEGO Marvel Avengers
5. GTA V

So it was second to COD? Considering the ridiculous popularity of COD I'd say that was excellent.

Excellent is a weird way to frame it. It would be excellent if SF5 managed that in a busy week, but during one of the slowest periods we've had and still not able to dethrone a game that's been no.1 for what feels like months and with falling sales...

Hardly excellent.

 

[Hasney]

So it was second to COD? Considering the ridiculous popularity of COD I'd say that was excellent.

No, Black Ops III has been out so long that it's not selling amazing right now. We haven't had a numbers update on BLOPS for a few weeks, but I'm guessing with 2 straight drops, SFV sold less that either SFIV's single format numbers week 1.

Worth noting SFIV also launched on a Friday in February.

 

[Raist]

Activision’s ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops III’ (-25%) takes an 11th week at No1 since launch, with 7 of the first 6 weeks of this year (‘Lego Marvel Avengers’ was No1 in week 4).

No other Call of Duty title has claimed this many No1’s on the All Formats Chart, previous record being ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’ back in 2009 with 9 No1’s (although all 9 were consecutive). The all-time record remains ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’ with 18 weeks All Format No1’s back in 2000 & 2001 (published back then by Eidos). Debuting at No2 is a first Gen 8 outing for a game series that has been around since the late 80’s: Capcom’s ‘Street Fighter V’ launches on PS4 and PC. The previous version of this series ‘Street Fighter IV’ debuted back in 2009 on 360/PS3/PC and remains the benchmark in terms of week 1 sell-through.

EA remain at No3 with ‘FIFA 16’ (+65%) and sales for this title (and many others) are up markedly over half term week. The only other new entry this week also makes the Top 10 and that is Nintendo’s 3DS ‘Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon’ at No9.

edit: So 24.3k > SFV (88k for SFIV)

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Black Ops III > 24,000
Street Fighter V < 24,000 (!!!!!)

Oh crap, that's horrible. D:

EDIT: I edited again.

 

[Hasney]

Street Fighter V < 24,000 (!!!!!)

Oh crap, that's horrible. D:

Well, not under 24k, under whatever COD sold which could be above 24k.

Still, I doubt that COD is that much above 24k.

EDIT: Well you had CoD >24k before you edited!

 

[zeromcd73]

Street Bomba 5

 

[Primethius]

Yep, that's a bomb.

 

[Conduit]

Can we use "how about digital sales" excuse for SFV?

 

[Footos22]

Street Bomba 5

Hardly. Wouldn't even say it's a game most ppl would buy at retail. Its on one system that primarily relies on retail and no one is gonna buy the pc physical version anyway. I'm sure it's just fine especially outside of the UK.

 

[GHG]

Can we use "how about digital sales" for SFV?

9 out of my 10 friends bought it digitally. I wouldn't read too much into these sales figures.

My Grandma always buys retail

, but went digital with this one. Can also conform.

 

[Pennywise83]

2m by the end of March are looking less and less likely (unless they overship as some companies tend to do to scream PR results).

 

[Hasney]

~100k

And about 5,500 of them in the UK.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

...Well, yeah, at this point i really don't see this game sells 2 million by end of March...

 

[cameron]

Are there steam spy results yet?

http://steamspy.com/app/310950

96,898 ± 6,987 for the first 5 days.

RotTR was 324k for it's first 5 days, in comparison.

 

[Hasney]

...Well, yeah, at this point i really don't see this game sells 2 million by end of March...

Depends how it plays out. SF has always been bigger in the US and even other parts of Europe than here in the UK and there is actually a TV spot in the US. Uk was never going to contribute much to the overall success, although I did think it would have done a bit better.

EDIT: At SteamSpy, France has more owners than UK by a good couple of %.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

It's a bomb in the UK.

 

[Lucreto]

How do the numbers for Street Fighter compared to Bloodborne?

 

[OléGunner]

Considering SF IV came out to 88k on three platforms, SFV's debut is bad but not absolutely terrible.

I doubt anyone at Capcom knew they'd reach those lofty numbers this time.

It sold around half of just the PS3 version of SFIV with more days of sales week 1. It's hard to read it as anything but terrible.
