Going by Metro.co.uk shares, last gen split increased from 18% (Week 1) to 25% (Week 2)

Bringing up Bruno MB's Destiny numbers again

[Week 01] 01 (NE) DESTINY (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) - 417,100 / NEW
[Week 02] 01 (01) DESTINY (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) - 91,762 / 508,862 (-78%)

PlayStation 4 (44%) - 40,375 / 232,241 (-79%)
Xbox One (31%) - 28,446 / 178,602 (-81%)

And combining this with first week for each platform

Destiny PS4 (46%) - 191,866
Destiny One (36%) - 150,156
Destiny 360 (14% )- 58,394
Destiny PS3 (4%) - 16,684

We have

Destiny PS3 + 360 first week (18%) - 75,078
Destiny PS3 + 360 second week (25%) - 22,940 / 98,018 (-69.44%)

 

[ilikecandy]

Damn, Plants vs Zombies seems like it was a major bomb on PS3/PS4.

Such a shame.

It seems people aren't all that interested in buying a 6 month old port.

 

[Xando]

I wonder if the next-gen version of Fifa 15 will be the best-selling one.

A big drop is to be expected for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions but even so, we should remember that last year they sold over 800,000 units combined. The Xbox 360 version sold over 500,000 units, even with a harsh drop it should still be in the 200,000 - 250,000 range. Will the Xbox One version manage to beat that?

In my opinion, the next-gen versions will be the winners but individually it will be PS4 > 360 > XBO > PS3.

Just as a reminder:

01 (NE) FIFA 14 (ELECTRONIC ARTS) - 836,0000 / NEW

Xbox 360 - 509,960
PlayStation 3 - 317,680

I could see that happen in the UK.
Other parts of Europe will probably be PS4 > PS3 > 360 > XB1 (maybe XB1 > 360?).

 

[mckmas8808]

I wonder what the break-even point for Destiny is, and can it reach it with this drop. I know some analysts were talking about 15 million copies to break even, but I doubt that is true.

I will keep my eye on Activision share price.

That's crazy. NO WAY that's even close to true.

 

[ethomaz]

Destiny doing amazing.

I like that.

 

[LOCK]

Hyrule Warriors did great!

Does Disney Infinity have legs like the game has in America? I would imagine that it does, since it's aimed at kids.

 

[Seik]

Surprised at the success of Hyrule Warriors.

I don't want it to fail, at the contrary, I'm just surprised the market seems that strong for a Musou Zelda game, that's great news!

Now let's see how it'll fare in NA.

 

[Mory Dunz]

I'm not sure I'd call Hyrule Warrior's opening a success.
It's not a complete bomb though I guess.

Wonder how Spain and France will recieve it.

I think NPD is it's best chance at sales though, especially if it gets an ad or two.

[Chocolate & Vanilla]

So is that 72% of Destiny sales on PS4 this week are the console bundle or that 72% of all PS4s sold this week are the bundle?

 

[SwiftDeath]

Fifa 13 had the strongest debut with around 1.1 million units sold.

Fifa 09 - 410,000
Fifa 10 - 607,000
Fifa 11 - 734,000
Fifa 12 - 866,000
Fifa 13 - 1,100,000

[Aostia]

Good for hyrule and infinity!

 

[Mory Dunz]

why Spain and not Germany? weird choice of countries

I thought Spain and France were the two countries where Hyrule had the best chance of charting somewhere decent.

Aren't those the two countries where the Wii U has been selling best relative to the competition or no?

 

[ZSaberLink]

Cool for Hyrule and Disney. Hopefully Disney does better on Wii U in France & Germany.

Wii U title UK debut rank:
Hyrule Warriors - Week 38 - #4 (Below PS4, XBO, & 360 Destiny, but above 360 Disney Infinity 2.0)
Disney infinity 2.0 - Week 38 - #20 (below all other Disney Infinity 2.0 SKUs, XB1 at #18)
Mario Kart 8 - Week 22 - #3 (below PS4 & XBO Watch Dogs)
DKC: TF - Week 4 - #4 (below second week Lego Movie sales on 360 & PS3 & Minecraft 360)
Lego Movie - Week 7 - #25 (lowest of SKUs)

I thought Spain and France were the two countries where Hyrule had the best chance of charting somewhere decent.

Aren't those the two countries where the Wii U has been selling best relative to the competition or no?

I thought it was France & Germany actually.

Spain [and portugal] are Playstation countries. Wii U is doing far better both absolutely and relatively in Germany compared to Spain as far as I know

 

[Mory Dunz]

Oh, nevermind.

 

[noobie]

Fifa 09 - 410,000

Fifa 11 - 734,000
Fifa 12 - 866,000
Fifa 13 - 1,100,000
Fifa 14 - 836,000

So a million will be a very good result for EA. or u think it can surpass 1.1 million?

I think with around 2 million next gen console. it should do around 700k on PS4 gen and around 300k on last gen consoles

The next-gen versions of Fifa 15 should offset the decline of last-gen versions but I don't know if they will sell enough to show a sizable grow.

Console transition is being much faster than I would have ever imagined, especially in the UK and US market. Fifa 15 outselling Fifa 14 and getting close to the franchise peak would be really great news for the video game industry.

 

[Mpl90]

So...we just got an update from Australia, from the most unpredictable source: an Australian-only surprise Nintend Direct :lol

Up to now, 3DS sold 700,000 units in Australia. Source: NPD Group.

How does that fare compared to other consoles?

So I don't think we get many Australian sales numbers for consoles but for comparison here are two DS data points

DS launched in Feb. of 2005 in Australia and in around 2 and a half years [Sept. 2007] had an install base of ~730,000

As of Jan. 2010, [5 years after launch?] DS sold 2.5M units in Australia

3DS has currently been for sale in Australia for 3 and a half years I think?

So 3DS has sold 30k less than the DS sold with one less year

at the end of 2007, DS sold 988k (Wii also 294k)

edit: also from your link sales through June 2007 are 590k for the DS, damn that thing moved fast

edit2: PSP was at 317k LTD through September 2007, how many months is that?

edit3: 3DS reached 200k in 37 weeks, setting a record for fastest handheld OR console (at the time, who knows about PS4/XB1)

 

[SwiftDeath]

at the end of 2007, DS sold 988k (Wii also 294k)

Cool so that would be at the 2 years, 10 months of the DS's life

3DS launched in Australia on March 31, 2011. So that's 3 years, 6 months

So

DS | 988k sold in 34 months
3DS | 700k sold in 42 months

[Mpl90]

Thanks to everyone here.

Holy hell at those Wii and DS numbers from 2009...they were really something else, and probably we'll never see anything similar again 3DS' performance in Australia can be considered...good, despite being a big drop compared to DS?

The Australian Nintendo Direct unveiled also prices for Australia: 219.99 for New 3DS and 249.99 for New 3DS XL. Australian $, of course. It seems these prices are not that far / identical to current 3DS and 3DS XL prices (3DS XL is priced 249.99 $ in Australia currently, so it's the same price, but I have no certainty about regular 3DS), so we should see a similar pricing for Europe and US as well.

 

[dolemite]

8 out of the top 20 titles on Amazon UK are FIFA15 titles with 6 stand-alone games and two bundles. This is madness.

 

[theprodigy]

So

3DS | 700k sold in 42 months

on the bright side:

3DS | 700k in 42 months
PSP | 604k in 52 months

It's tracking significantly ahead of PSP here at least! lol

good for Hyrule!
Is it me, or Infinity isn't seeing a great debut in GER?
Somehow the Wii U seems still suited for family-kids oriented games.

Wow, I was expecting a good debut, but this sounds like a very good debut.

[Fularu]

[SolidSnakex]

Wait when does the 100k/200k sales award thing come out for Germany?

Usually between the 7th-15th of each month. The one for August was released on the 15th. The awards were

ACIV: Black Flag (PC) - 100k
Minecraft (PS3) - 100k
The Last of Us: Remastered (PS4) - 100k
Tomodachi Life (3DS) - 100k
Total War: Rome 2 (PC) - 100k

 

[KillerMan91]

Regarding German charts either Destiny sales fall of the cliff even more than normally with big titles or HR sold really really well. Probably combination of both.

 

[ZSaberLink]

The lack of Wii sku for DI 2.0 was a huge mistake

Honestly, they were trying to narrow the number of platforms in general. Even the 3DS version got cut. Hopefully this starts the transition off of last gen slowly.

 

[Mory Dunz]

The lack of Wii sku for DI 2.0 was a huge mistake

Yeah, if the Wii U version is outselling the other current gen, a Wii version would probaby only be behind the 360 version. And in NPD as well.
