TF bundles keep it going... well at least the XO version.Titanfall still selling, positive word of mouth will keep it going.

LTD of Titanfall 360 and XB1 anyone???
I'm not sure it selling system... I meant most TF sales come from people that are buying XO weekly... the XO sales seem to be the same pre-TF launch... just now almost every sales account a free TF units too.So it's selling systems? I'm sure MS and EA are happy either way. Brand new IP seeing the kinds of leg TF is seeing is only ever good news.
We know the X1 version sold 115k at launch and the 360 version sold 34k at launch.
Hard to say where the numbers currently sit.

Why? TF bundle is cheaper than the others...Well if that was true then surely Fifa or Forza shoulve charted much higher for XO.

FIFA and Forza bundle are ~£430... TF Bundle ~£370... and Forza and FIFA bundle are hard to find.
Vita Top 10:
1, Football Manager 2014.
2, Demon Gaze.
3, FIFA 14.
4, Killzone Mercenary.
5, Tearaway.
6, Final Fantasy X/X2 HD Remaster.
7, Invizimals: The Alliance.
8, LEGO: The Hobbit.
9, The LEGO Movie Videogame.
10, The Sly Trilogy.
What a haphazard collection of games. I love it.
Please give any feedback you have on my Total Placement Points method. I would love to improve my charting methods
Yo dave did they do any marketing for football manager over there?
Someone used to do this, but with positions weighted by the average difference in sales between positions from the Japanese charts. The difference between positions is generally a lot higher at the top, decreasing to essentially little difference at the bottom.
Edit: Here we are

that would be nice, but do we know the actual formula for it?
meanwhile, do that chart for Germany and France too SwiftDeath
edit: also PS4=green threw me for a loop, you should change that
So it's selling systems?
Intriguing. I wonder why Donny stopped. I have thought about the weighted aspect you speak of because the difference between the Top SKUs would indeed be far greater than the difference between the bottom SKUs. If only there was a couple weeks wherein which we got near complete sales numbers and then I'd have a baseline to create the weighting. Otherwise it would just be me guessing at it
Hmm...I'll ponder on it a bit. Might PM Donny to see if he has any suggestions on the weighting
I used to do that every single week when I was managing the PAL charts threads, based on Donny's data. The caveat of course is that the formula was derived from very few data points.
I'll get on the Germany version of the charts but we don't have Week 17 for Germany yet do we?
I'll try to update the UK charts to fit the color patterns I suppose :\
Edit: Updated my charts to better reflect Platform Coloring. Does Nintendo have any set colors? White maybe?
Thanks for the input. For now I might just continue with my unweighted method as i have never seen any pal thread where we felt comfortable estimating the sales numbers for more than 5 or 6 of the 40 odd SKUs
I could perhaps try to create a bracketed approach. First 5, 6 - 15, 16 - 25 and so on. I'll think about it then
Was there any particular reason you guys stopped?
Thanks. Here's hoping that Metro will pick up where The Guardian left off and continue to provide splits.
Surprising that H4 didn't chart...
Well I just stopped taking care of the threads at some point, and the person who filled in (I think dabra?) didn't carry on with that stuff. I'm not sure I even gave him the formula I got from donny tbh. To be fair that was like, 5 years ago
Muhahaha I have resurrected something I have never seen before from over 5 years ago
I'm a bit behind the curve aren't I? lol
For now I think I'll continue with my obviously imperfect method that doesn't weight the top end until I can find compelling data to suggest a weighting split for at least one week
I wonder, maybe you could grab the average #s for Famitsu's top 30 over the course of a year, different markets but it might be worth a shot
don't do it now though, show me the German chart first

Here, a random one from 2008:
Cool to see although without the formula or weighting breakdown I can't really apply it
Still though Wii and NDS. Man how Nintendo has fallen and if that's from the UK then wowza at their almost complete marketshare erosion. Can't be Germany because of the PC so it is probably UK, huh
Well you've got 19 data points for each console. You could go back to all these threads, write down the positions of each title for each console, and deduce the formula.
I'm sure there's a way with pixel counting and maths. It's not like you've got anything better to do anyway.
lol I don't even know how you guys developed the ranking formula let alone the weighting breakdown. I mean I pretty much just went "Keep it simple stupid" on mine because otherwise I'd get confused
IIRC it was based on a few weeks worth of actual numbers from Famitsu, and donny averaged them and from that pulled a regression curve.
So it was like:
1 = 13.1
2 = 8.3
3 = 6.2
4 = 4.5
5 = 3.4
etc
So that was plotted in excel, and would give a "best fit" curve with the actual formula.
Of course the formula was likely not accurate at all at times, but it just gave some general idea.
I might try to do a Frankenstein type approach then. Utilize NPD leaked data for a few months to try and determine the weighting of the Top 10 generally, then utilize Famitsu or Media Creates to approximate the weighting for the rest. So maybe in a couple of months if I can remember to keep track
Why not just 1/chart position? (or 40/chart position to keep it roughly scaled up to the old way)
Why not just 1/chart position? (or 40/chart position to keep it roughly scaled up to the old way)
Actually now that I think of it I seem to remember that it wasn't a straight formula but rather a table with fixed values for positions 1 to 40. I think. Maybe. Sort of.
Man that was so long ago :/
Not sure that'll work as well. I mean, Famitsu used to give, sometines, actual UK charts sales. So it was based on that, at least.
I PM'd donny. He's still around but I haven't seen him in a PAL charts thread in like forever. Maybe he still has the actual formula.
I'm surprised at how low the split is for xb1 garden warfare. Too casual for xb1 audience?
TF bundles keep it going... well at least the XO version.
I'm bored, so platform totals for this week using 40/chart position:
360-99.14 - 57.93%
XBO-29.78 - 17.4%
PS3-23.79 - 13.9%
PS4-16.30 - 09.52%
3DS-1.08 - 00.63%
PC-1.05 - 00.61%
I feel like this weighs the top 5 way too heavily, but idk
360 | 382 | 46.6%
PS3 | 164 | 20%
XBO | 138 | 16.83%
PS4 | 129 | 15.73%
3DS | 4 | 0.49%
PC | 3 | 0.37%
WII | 0 | 0%
WIU | 0 | 0%
My method results in
Code:360 | 382 | 46.6% PS3 | 164 | 20% XBO | 138 | 16.83% PS4 | 129 | 15.73% 3DS | 4 | 0.49% PC | 3 | 0.37% WII | 0 | 0% WIU | 0 | 0%
I guess mine weighs the middle too heavily?
Under mine PS3 edges out XBO due to higher number of SKUs charting
Well I don't know if you noticed, but under 40/chart position, XBO Titanfall alone beats out all the PS4 games, which definitely feels off.
However, despite this I feel that overall something like that is more accurate, maybe take a square root or something so the top positions aren't that extreme?
idk
01 (01) TITANFALL (ELECTRONIC ARTS)
XBO (50%)
360 (48%)
PC (2%)
Huh missed this post. Wow we got UK sales numbers? :\
Why I got to miss all of the good old days?
I'd use a years average of Dengeki weekly Top 40s. NPD is monthly, only top 10, combined formats, and we don't even get numbers for the full top ten anyway. The idea is just to give a rough approximation over a period of time, not to be a true reflection of any individual week which can potentially deviate significantly from the norm.
You've got much to learn, young padawan.
