I remember Spain was one of the countries where Switch was quite available (while still doing very well). Was that the case last week as well, or were there some shortages?
Some places have shortages (Fnac, Amazon), but on big department stores, like MediaMarkt or Carrefour, shouldn't be hard to find them.
Neon and blue consoles are more limited.

All SKUs Top 40 after the jump.

So Horizon ZD launched better on one platform than Mass Effect on 3? No wonder GG and Sony are happy with reception of that title.
ME doesn't hugely surprise me TBH. ME3 did leave a bad taste in mouth of many and left the franchise with a negative perception (much as happened with AC3). Add to that the confusion of ending changing patches and DLC that seemed to be core to the plot and I think once again EA's policies to milk a franchise and expand it actually ended up hurting it.
I believe this coupled with the early negative impressions around animations blocked the title from seeing expansion this gen (which I'm sure EA was hoping for) and likely without significant improvement a ceiling of interest now exists for the franchise.
MS can't be happy seeing PS4 version selling more either although that was probably a foregone conclusion: really shows how in PAL pretty much all third party franchises (even those formerly seen as Xbox orientated franchises) have swung to favour PS4 install base.
A lot of franchises seem to be struggling to continue/grow this gen - hopefully developers and publishers realize the demand for new IP/experiences this indicates and they adjust to have a better mix of old/new vs overly leaning on a few established IP. Stagnation always sets in.
Zelda continuing to do well too although I presume it's performance is tied to availability at this point or is Switch now becoming more generally available across PAL?

I like these lists.
I'm somewhat surprised that XBO is leading in the splits for some of those titles. Rocket League in particular. Always saw this as a PS title.
It was free with PS+ so a large chunk of the PS4 userbase already owns it.
Also, lol @ that Halo Wars split.

Ah, thanks for that.

Wow, the Battlefield split is hugely in favour of XBO.
Anyone know why this is the case? The impression I'm getting is that at least for certain mutiplayer shooters, XBO is still culturally seen as the console of choice

I really want everyone to know how much more Titanfall 2 sold than Nioh. It was a staggering amount.
Bundle, MS has marketing deal with BF1

It was also released on the PS4 a year earlier.
These are numbers for week 12 only, you can see that from the GTAV numbers: no way PS4 version outsold PS3 57:1 LTD. LTD, BF1 will likely be more in equilibrium, probably even in favour of PS4. Seems like a random spike for BF1 on Xbox One last week, maybe a sale or a pack-in?
