Where's Darksiders Warmastered? I wasn't expecting much, but it's not there at all. Especially considering it's out of stock for both Xbox One and PS4 on Amazon UK. And at other online retails who names shall not be uttered here.

 

[Chris1]

Do we know why the xbox black Friday sales are so low compared to last year?

I saw a few £200 deals for the xbox one s

Because £200 isn't really a great price when you could have picked it up for £200 the months prior. You've been able to get it for that price since just after launch. The only real difference was the additional game.

For example 2 months ago - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/xbo...99-99-currys-tesco-direct-price-match-2517535

Doesn't help the PS4 was £20 cheaper too.

There is lower demand than last year and £200 is not really a great deal for XB1 in UK.

Maybe they had 10 copies in stock each.

 

[black070]

It's always been in bundles since launch and BF saw Gears and Forza both heavily bundled and had price cuts.

TF2 still playing 3rd fiddle to the others despite price cuts to under £20 in some places.

As I thought, thanks.

I just noticed this: RoTTR on XB1 sold more than PS4 version this week lol

RoTTR is going for much cheaper then the 20th Anniversary Edition so no surprise there.

 

[Lucreto]

I just noticed this: RoTTR on XB1 sold more than PS4 version this week lol

It's a year old title on Xbox.

Edit: Beaten

It's £18 on Xbox and €25 on PS4 on Amazon

I'm not surprised, there were fuck all in the way of good deals on the ps4 version, which barely dropped below £30, while the XO was practically being given away.

Why does Sun do better than Moon?

Why does Sun do better than Moon?

I imagine for at least some people, that its the game properly synced to your timezone might play a part. Otherwise, its got a lion on the box, which is easier kid appeal I would suspect.

I wonder how many weeks Red and Blue were on top 20 when you consider the insane final LTD sales.

 

[Bruno MB]

After good Final Fantasy XV reviews I feel a bit more optimistic regarding its launch week sales.

I don't know how much the market will drop after a very busy Black Friday week with lots of deals for the recent AAA releases, a big title like Final Fantasy XV can't only depend on diehard fans. Let's see how the mainstream audience will react. Is Square Enix marketing team doing their job to raise the public interest?

I'm going to say PS4 FF XV = 3x PS4 Watch Dogs 2.

That's what I'm seeing at my job.

Why does Sun do better than Moon?

Lion is the symbol of courage, virility and regality.

Moon has a bat on the cover...and you know who else turns into bats? Vampires, that's who.

Lion >> Sparkly Vampires

Given the sales at retail, should we estimate a bit less than 80,000 digital copies sold for UK?

EDIT: Ah, right, if this week's sales are included as well, the possibility of guessing digital sales lowers considerably.

 

[Bruno MB]

We have to extrapolate the ~ 290,000 figure to 100% of the market.

Physical ~ 305,000 (83%)
Digital ~ 63,000 (17%)

 

[Chris1]

17% is higher than I would have guessed. Then again, a big part of it's audience is most likely from the Pokemon Go casuals who will be used to digital from smartphones and having a physical cartridge is weird to them.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare - 758,500

Pokémon Sun - >145,000
Pokémon Moon - <145,000
The Elder Scrolls V: Skryim Special Edition
Forza Horizon 3
Grand Theft Auto V
Dishonored 2 - 69,800

That Dishonored 2 number is not correct because we are missing the weekly percentage change for week 47, 2016. It is very likely since the game was one of the titles to have Black Friday deals that it had an increase in sales so I figure out that at least sold over 80,000 units in November. Also, Forza Horizon 3 sold over 100,000 units.

Grand Theft Auto V should hit 6 million this month.

According to Nintendo España, Pokémon Sun / Moon sold 183,930 units in its week launch, citing GfK data.

Here is the press release:

Con 20 años de historia a sus espaldas y un espectacular estreno en el segmento de juegos para móviles con Pokémon GO, 2016 está siendo, sin lugar a dudas, el &#8220;Año Pokémon&#8221; con mayúsculas, y el lanzamiento del &#8220;peso pesado&#8221; de la franquicia el pasado 23 de noviembre no ha hecho sino confirmarlo. Una semana después de que la nueva entrega, Pokémon Sol y Pokémon Luna, se pusiera a la venta en España en exclusiva para la familia de consolas Nintendo 3DS, ya se ha convertido en el mejor lanzamiento de una licencia de videojuegos en formato físico del año en nuestro país para una misma plataforma, con 183.930 unidades vendidas, según datos de la consultora independiente Gfk. Y es que, de acuerdo con los datos de Gfk, en lo que va de año (hasta el 27 de noviembre), ningún otro título ha conseguido vender en su lanzamiento en España y para una misma plataforma, más que Pokémon Sol y Pokémon Luna en su primera semana a la venta. O lo que es lo mismo, ninguna otra consola, ni doméstica, ni portátil, ha experimentado unas ventas similares de un juego en formato físico en todo el año.

Pero España no es el único país en el que la última creación del estudio de desarrollo japonés Game Freak ha sido un fenómeno. En su primera semana a la venta en Europa, la última entrega de la serie central de videojuegos de Pokémon, ha superado los 1,5 millones de unidades vendidas en Europa, según datos internos de Nintendo of Europe. Esto significa que Pokémon Sol y Pokémon Luna ha sido el mayor lanzamiento europeo de un juego de Nintendo en la historia de la compañía.

There is a big difference with the 221,000 figure divulged by the sales guy at Vandal Radio podcast.

That's really weird, we are findings inconsistent numbers from sales guy lately...

He said 213,000 units for FIFA 17 PS4 but Nintendo press release says " ningún otro título ha conseguido vender en su lanzamiento en España y para una misma plataforma, más que Pokémon Sol y Pokémon Luna en su primera semana a la venta. O lo que es lo mismo, ninguna otra consola, ni doméstica, ni portátil, ha experimentado unas ventas similares de un juego en formato físico en todo el año."
