That is true,I don't think its 200k yet though.

It might not be, it depends entirely on how much higher than NMS it was.

 

[Hasney]

I wouldn't say that about Horizon's drop. A typical drop for a midweek release, an SP only game especially, would be in the 80's, so it only dropping 60% is a fantastic hold.

Well, low 70's is the average on a Tuesday release. Still, only a day less and 10% less of a drop is pretty good.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Wonder how Switch hardware did since Zelda Switch is sold out everywhere.

 

[Jacobson]

Persona isn't going to sell anything like GR or ME.

Of course, it's a niche title. It was a joke

 

[addik]

I was going to say that I was hoping Nier would chart higher, then I realize that this chart only tracks March 5-11, doesn't it? Nier only had 2 days of being sold then, which sounds pretty good.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

40% sales on WiiU really helped.

Ah, I see.

Wonder how Switch hardware did since Zelda Switch is sold out everywhere.

I suspect any retail shop which still has switch stock probably has Zelda stock too.

Hardware's sold out online. I think the next big stock shipment is in two weeks if amazon is any judge.

Ghost Recon PS4 52%, XB1 48%

Wow that GR split is closer Then thought it would be.

 

[black070]

No, the best selling. And the number two TC game of all time, behind The Division.

Oh shoot, yeah.

 

[Sangetsu-II]

Speechless

Amazing comparison lol

 

[bombshell]

Wow that GR split is closer Then thought it would be.

PS4 game purchases are spread across a lot more games this year so far.

 

[Kill3r7]

Wow that GR split is closer Then thought it would be.

What was the split For Honor?

 

[Hasney]

Persona isn't going to sell anything like GR or ME.

Obviously. It will set it's own standard far beyond anything we've ever seen before.

1 million first week in the UK should be the low end, right?

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Would love to get some worldwide numbers on Horizon. It has to be well over a million by now and still going strong.

I really don't like Ubisoft...

 

[bombshell]

What was the split For Honor?

I don't think we had a split for it.

Would love to get some worldwide numbers on Horizon. It has to be well over a million by now and still going strong.

Yep, 1 million is on the very conservative side when we look at UK first 2 weeks and Japan first week numbers. Then there's digital on top.

PS4 owners spending less (buying less games) or having too many games to buy from? Nier, Nioh, Horizon ??

 

[Hyun Sai]

PS4 game purchases are spread across a lot more games this year so far.

Yeah, many friends would have bought it but it was tough with Nioh and Horizon exclusives around.

PS4 owners spending less (buying less games) or having too many games to buy from? Nier, Nioh, Horizon ??

This.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

PS4 owners spending less (buying less games) or having too many games to buy from? Nier, Nioh, Horizon ??

PS4 owners definitely have more good recently released games to choose from.

 

[Conduit]

Wow that GR split is closer Then thought it would be.

Because PS4 owners have so many games in first three months to buy.

PS4 owners spending less (buying less games) or too many games to buy from? Nier, Nioh, Horizon ??

What do you think?

 

[Bruno MB]

So far the year has had a much stronger start than last year in terms of big profile performers, we can't say there have been a title that has under-performed although it would have been nice if Resident Evil 7: Biohazard had sold a bit more.

Will Mass Effect: Andromeda be the first game to break the positive streak? Mass Effect 3 sold about 156,000 units back in March 2012.

Last year the only notable 1Q releases were Far Cry Primal (70,000) and Tom Clancy's The Division (277,000).

 

[stryke]

nvm

 

[pswii60]

Because PS4 owners have so many games in first three months to buy.

And the Xbox crowd is more multiplayer shooter leaning historically too.

 

[EGM1966]

PS4 tops overall revenue charts from what I've seen to it's not the former. Probably a mix of having large exclusives launch (ZD most recently). Also MP centric titles I believe have closer split to PS4/XB1 anyway.

So no no gloom for PS4 yet!

 

[Ashtar]

Wow that GR split is closer Then thought it would be.

Probably because of a lack of big releases on Xbox IMO
I had no clue ghost recon would outsell for honor that's pretty crazy, I felt like for honor had a lot more clout but I guess this follows the open beta numbers hopefully there are still some people playing in a few months when I pick it up.
Do we have an estimate on numbers ? It was bigger than horizon but smaller than the division so >? 103k (nms) and < 255000
Nice for nier as well, not quite Nioh trajectory (unless my mind failed me) but still strong opening
Decent legs for horizon
Edit forgot how much the division sold actually I need to check horizons numbers bc I think it sold 200k

 

[Starwolf_UK]

This week feels really odd with how the budget releases of LEGO and GTAV are up quite high. What I mean is just compare the all formats, individual formats and individual formats (value). They jump all over the place.

Wow that botw split is closer Then thought it would be.

I think the Wii U version is going to be a bit high for that week because of the Amazon stock issues (many people who preordered the Wii U version did not have it dispatched until 4 days after release and since many of these orders were below the £40 mark ponying up £60 at GAME was not appealing...in amazon got so many complaints about this order they had to automatically give all affected orders £5 credit).

 

[Wollan]

How was the split for The Divison? I would think it would be more telling in how Ghost Recon would have fared if no competition in a meaty & anticipated Horizon Zero Dawn and somewhat For Honor/Nier/Nioh/Persona/GR2/RE7.

Great (Long)legs for Horizon.

damnit, beaten.

 

[Wollan]

Then it seems it's pretty close to the norm for Ubisoft shooters.

 

[Radec]

Surprised that Zelda stayed so high considering stocking issues of the switch and the game. Fantastic game though, so very much deserved.

Shocked that Zelda is still so high up, its still pretty much sold out everywhere in the UK other than a few places asking full RRP for it.

BotW is also available on the WiiU and not everyone who has a WiiU bought a switch yet.

I think ME:Andromeda can beat ME3, especially if reviews are good

 

[Phillips455]

I think ME:Andromeda can beat ME3, especially if reviews are good

That, and the fact that GAME will (most likely) not collapse and have all their mass effect stock cancelled/returned.

 

[Jarod McChicken]

Not fantastic for Nier but does not look horrible either. Aloy holding like a boss

 

[N7.Angel]

Ubisoft is a beast studio, all their IP's are selling great, it's a shame their gameplay is so bad because I love the diversity they have in IP's, settings, gender/race heroes etc... it's way better than any other studios.

Good hold for Horizon which is the best adventure game of the year so far.

 

[Dragon1893]

That's a nice showing for Nier.

[Nirolak]

I'm really surprised Wildlands is the biggest debut of the year.

I haven't heard anybody talking about it. There hasn't even been any hype for it on Facebook like there was for Horizon and Zelda.

The game's pitch is "4 player co-op military GTA" if that helps.

It's an incredibly good pitch for the mass market gamer.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Good guy france

 

[Calm Mind]

Ubisoft really needs to space their releases better.

You mean Horizon sold more than 96k minus what Zelda LE sold.

No because the 96k numbers is announced by Nintendo and I don't think they separate Zelda Switch and Zelda LE Switch

Exactly but the ranking has separated Zelda Switch and Zelda Switch LE.

Both together are 96k.
