THE WORDS! They'll drift away without the _!
Has Germany overtaken the UK as Europes biggest gaming market yet?

UK software was 1.42b Pounds, which is almost 1.7b Euro. So nope. German software total seems to count digital, UK is just boxed.

Haven't got anything else to compare at this point.

I guess we'll have to wait for the actual retail panel results.

I think the digital sales are from that and the physical sales are from the retail tracking. But, yeah, we'll know better when (and if) they release more detailed numbers (hence preliminary =P).

Yes, I've stepped out of the US to write a bit about sales outside my comfort zone. I expect you guys to keep me in line, so the usual rules apply. Find a mistake, tell me and I will fix it. Disagree or agree? Let me know, and I'm happy to discuss things.

I've learned a lot being here at GAF. Now I'm trying to learn more. :)

Glad to see you step into analysing the U.K. market. It has been grim for quite a while really.

Sales of triple-A video games have reached an all-time low.

The UK games retail market is 25 per cent down compared with last year. And publishers are aghast by the performances of major sequels.

One prominent analyst told MCV that sales are “half of what they should be”. According to retail sources, this year’s major new games are selling between 10,000 to 48,000 during their first week on sale. By comparison, in the same period last year the big brands were shifting between 35,000 to 80,000 units.

One publisher who has seen its latest triple-A struggle told MCV: “We are trying to understand it, but everything is selling well below what it should. It is an absolute nightmare. I’m not making half the money back I’m spending on marketing.”

Another added: “Nobody is looking at Chart-Track’s numbers so far this year and thinking ‘cool’.”

Even the chart toppers are performing below expectations and failing to match their predecessors. UFC 3 by THQ is this week’s No.1, but it hasn’t equalled the figures of its forebears. In fact, the original UFC outsold this year’s title 3:1 during the same period.

“There are some stock shortages at retail, but I don’t think that’s what’s causing these figures,” added one UK boss of a Japanese publisher. “The big games of last year are available cheaply. But also consumers don’t want to spend money, and we as an industry are not giving them any reason to change their minds. I will be watching Mass Effect 3 and Syndicate very closely.”

Aren't revenue and units figures for the UK normally out by now? Was hoping to update my sheets today...
 
Wow. First X360 game is number 26 in German chart. PS3 really has iron grip over X360 in continental Europe.

@SmokyDave: Well it is Finnish game so it gets a lot of extra sales from that here.

In the PAL region it is all ps3 domination except UK and perhaps AU

This is a good sign for SONY and PS4 ,since atleast one of the biggest(if not biggest) console gaming region is secured for them

Quite possibly, but I fear they'll obfuscicate digital with retail so we may have to wait for the full retail results to come through aDeSe or AESVI.

The online article doesn't always happen, from what I've noticed. The info appears with more certainty on the magazine available Fridays. Speaking of which, the newest edition of the magazine is already, unusually, available today: http://www.mcvuk.com/digital-edition

Yeah, it seems to have been released on Thursday for the last few weeks now.

From the latest issue;

However, the brawler from THQ didn’t perform quite as well as its predecessors at launch, with the original 2009 UFC game outselling it by more than three to one. Still, it sold almost double the copies than any other title could manage at retail last week. It presents THQ with its first No.1 since Homefront in March 2011.

Which is quite helpful data for refining this week's estimates;

UFC Undisputed 3 = ~33k (+/- 3k)

That's for calculating all of that.

Would this be a decent approximation for FFXIII-2's total?

-----
168.3K

<15k
<26K (15K/0.58)
<57k (26k/0.46)

<98k

this year&#8217;s major new games are selling between 10,000 to 48,000 during their first week on sale

Maybe these figures are unweighted (90%), so it would seem that FFXIII-2 sold at most 54k first week (48499 / .9).

Seven 2012 new releases debuted in All Formats Top10, back-tracking from this week we get;

FIFA WK 7 <19K (+21%)
FIFA WK 6 <16K (-19%)
FIFA WK 5 <20K
SCV WK5 < FIFA WK 5

BF3 WK 7 <17K (+10%)

DK2 WK 7 <13k (-43%)

MGS WK 6 <23k (DK2 WK 6) (-49%)
MGS WK 5 <45k

WK5/P1 FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 <57k
WK5/P2 METAL GEAR SOLID HD COLLECTION <45k
WK7/P1 UFC UNDISPUTED 3 ~33k
WK6/P1 KINGDOMS OF AMALUR: RECKONING <30k
WK6/P3 THE DARKNESS II <23K
WK5/P5 SOULCALIBUR V <20K
WK4/P6 RESIDENT EVIL: REVELATIONS <15K

FFXIII-2 certainly seems to be the highest this year, and RE:E most probably the lowest, so upweighting "10,000 to 48,000" to 100% gives ~11k first week for RE:R and ~53k first week for FFXIII-2.

So, if ReR with its almost 15K was considered a bomba, should we consider flops also Amalur and FFXIII-2? I mean: we have a title "home oriented" released for the first time ever on a handheld in the west VS two main titles for two HD consoles with a lot of installed base in UK, right?

Or should we re-think about our actual tools to judge rough numbers for PAL market? (it's obviously simplier to judge japanese market, thanks to the actual and historical data we received weekly)

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
Not a big sales guy, but this news pleases me. I'll be watching Syndicate and Mass Effect 3, too. *fingerscrossed*

Mmh, I fear watching Syndacate will be just a bit depressing.

What's Out Today? w/e February 24th, 2012

It's a week of hotly anticipated returns this week, with EA dusting off a classic franchise and a sales phenomenon coming home.

EA's Syndicate reboots the classic strategy action game as an intense FPS, set in a future where corporations are at war. The game also introduces four-player online co-op to the series.

Meanwhile, 505 Games and Majesco bring the smash hit Zumba Fitness back to the platform that began it all: Kinect. Zumba Fitness Rush features brand new routines developed specifically for the Xbox 360's motion-sensing camera.

Also out this week is The Last Story (Nintendo), Binary Domain (Sega) and Premier Manager 2012 (Focus Multimedia).

Does anyone else think it would make more sense to consider Netherlands chart as the week it started in rather than the week it ended in? The Dutch chart starts midweek with the first day of new releases and thus includes the full 7 days of new releases. As we see here, week 7's new release UFC is the new entry. Sometimes games from the following week creep into the chart from broken street dates, but they generally jump up the charts the next week after going on general release. We don't really have that issue with UK charts as a game would need to have it's street date broken by nearly a week to enter the previous week's chart, but in Netherlands it only needs to be broken by one day.

France 2011:

PS3: 845K (+3%). 3.8M LTD.
Wii: 775K (-21%). 5.8M LTD.
3DS: 761K.
NDS: 635K.
X360: 532K (-3%). 2.7M LTD.

http://www.latribune.fr/technos-med...rme-de-sony-pour-reconquerir-les-gamers-.html

La tendance du marché est plutôt sur le décli: en France, en 2011, il s'est vendu 1,68 million de consoles portables, soit 2% de moins que l'année précédente, selon GfK et le SELL (Syndicat des éditeurs de logiciels de loisirs). Toutefois, le marché est resté stable en valeur, à 277 millions d'euros.

1,680,000 - 761,000 - 635,000 = PSP: ~280,000
