I'd. e interested to know how snipperclips did. That has to be almost 1:1 surely?

A good week all around though :)

On the MS side Minecraft is beating Halo Wars 2 in sales. I mean....
I think everybody even MS knows it's not supposed to be a huge seller. It's an rts. It's a stop gap game for the spring that also may have some appeal on the PC side and it has Microtransactions.

Good start for Horizon and Zelda. I'm surprised to see other Switch games in the top 10, probably wouldn't happen if this wasn't the same week when the console launched.

Also big drop for Halo Wars 2 already, that's probably one the most disappointing first party titles for them this gen.

According to gameblog.fr (which isn't the most reliable source but since it concerns France I may give them a bit of credit for this one), Switch is selling "more than good" in France.

Vendredi et ce week-end, ça s'est passé mieux que bien ! Franchement, en terme de volumes de ventes, c'est en gros 4 fois plus fort que la Wii U à sa sortie. Et je peux dire que ça a cartonné globalement partout. Là, on est presque déjà en rupture. Mais nous allons en recevoir prochainement.

Nintendo ne veut pas avoir l'effet NES Mini, ils ne veulent vraiment pas jouer la rupture. On va donc pouvoir réapprovisionner rapidement. Chez Nintendo, ils doivent être contents. Si ça se maintient à ce rythme, sur les premiers mois, on devrait être dans les volumes de la Wii. C'est vraiment fort.

Sans réelle surprise, à 95%, on a vendu la Switch avec Zelda. Il y a aussi quelques 1-2 Switch qui partent. En tout cas, en boutique, les gens sont super contents pour l'instant. Mais nous constatons que dans l'esprit des joueurs, c'est avant tout une portable... les retours des premiers tests de Zelda qui évoquent qu'il est plus beau en nomade, qu'en mode TV, on dû jouer dans cette perception.

Friday and the week-end, it was better than good. Honestly, in terms of amount of sales, it's around four times better than the Wii U at its launch. And I can also say that it sold amazing globally. Now, we're almost out of stock. But we're going to get more soon.

Nintendo doesn't want a NES Mini-situation again, they really don't want to play the scarcity. So we will be able to re-supply quickly. At Nintendo, they must be happy. If we keep that pace on the first months, we should be able to be in the same amounts as the Wii. That's really strong.

Without any surprise, for 95%, we've sold the Switch with Zelda. There are also some 1-2 Switch selling off. In any case, in store, people are really happy at the moment. But we're constating that in gamer's mind, it's a portable device beforehand. The reviews of Zelda which said that it was prettier in portable mode than in TV mode may have played a role in this perception.

I doubt they had huge expectations for Halo Wars 2 going into the launch. I would imagine something like Gears of War 4 is much more disappointing for them.

Wii U sold 120k between launch and 31/12/2012. Will be interesting to see how much Switch sold week 1 then.

Edit - apparently week 1 in France was around 65k, 4 times this number would be a bit unbelievable imo, but 3ds did do kind of amazingly in France.
 
great numbers all around, good for GG they deserve all them sales, hope people will STFU about always shitting on them now


i wonder when are we going to get another milestone announcement but for NA or ROW

also

I remember that one guy saying that gaf hype doesn't translate into real world sales in the horizon review thread. Maybe he should have taken his own goddamn advice

It doesn't. Of course there are times when a game is high on GAF hype and it sells well, and that seems to be the situation here. I don't see how you can make a correlation between the two when we see Platinum Games getting tons of GAF hype and then not selling anywhere near something like like Horizon.

There's another factor that he was well-prepared to post that.

Twice, even, as I found the same post in another thread.

That can't be a factor though...being prepared?

Harsh ban imo

The thread wasn't derailed and it was fun to read all those predictions. Succesful attempt at humor I'd say

Please go ahead and do it. Because the numbers will not contradict what I said. The Horizon is the biggest new IP they have dropped.

It's the biggest new IP now that we know how much it sold lol...if the game had the misfortune of flopping, like many predicted, it wouldn't be the biggest IP.

Compare receptions and you will have your answer.

With Horizon reception expect less than 100k was harsh.

But Ni-Oh and Nier also had a great reception. So we can't go by that only

I second it. Worried about myself that if I list number of XBO titles in top ten versus PS4 titles, I might get banned for detailing the discussion.

I demand ban should be lifted immediately

Note that they say "highest sales week" rather than "highest launch week". "Ocarina of Time was supplied constrained at launch and kept bouncing up and down the charts as they restocked, so it's possible that it's launch week wasn't it's highest week, especially as it released close to Christmas.

Seems that this was indeed the case, it released week 50/98, but sold more the following week (51/98).

http://www.chart-track.co.uk/?i=1113&s=1111

Of course, ‘Zelda Ocarina of Time' was originally released on N64 and stormed to No1 in the Christmas Chart of 1998 (week 51/98) breaking all records at the time to shift around 100K in that week.

I don't see how posting random quotes and dumb GIF without any personal thought is "detailing the discussion". This is more like trying to poke fun at people who were wrong in their predictions.

Sounds like one store they're talking about and they say around 4 times. I'd expect around double country wide.

Great reception for a Souls like game (Ni-Oh) so it should sell like a souls like game (or better).

That is why Horizon sales are more in like with Open World good reception games... The Witcher 3 is a good example to compare.

It was really hard to think that Horizon will do less than 100k with the reception it received.

All other titles must watch Horizon's number 1 Dawn from down below. Well done.

Not even Zelda's booty could propel the game to the top.

95% attach ratio with those sorts of sales is insane if accurate.

edit: so past this whole Horizon Zelda nonsense for the 99th time, I wonder how much SW swtich sold.
I don't know what the usual tie in ratio for a launch is, but it'd interesting to see, given the lineup.


I agree about Nintendo Switch having a strong launch in the UK given the circumstances (here a comparison table), now we will have to wait how it performs during the next weeks, months. With the poor line-up that basically consists of just one game sales should slow down very fast though.

There isn't any upcoming new retail game in March, and the next big title will not be released until April 28.

Code:
[B]Nintendo Hardware UK Launch Sales:[/B]

Game Boy Advance - 67,000
Nintendo GameCube - 69,000
Nintendo DS - 87,000
Nintendo Wii - 105,000
Nintendo 3DS - 113,000
Nintendo Wii U - 40,000
Nintendo Switch - 80,000

Upcoming Nintendo Switch releases:

March: Nothing
April: LEGO City Undercover (7th), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (28th) and Puyo Puyo Tetris (28th).

So basically Mario Kart unfairly has to save another console ;)

It is great to have the exact sales number for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time launch week.

I assume that figure is from Chart-Track and likely upweighted, isn't it?

Raylan took the hit for all of us who who had to listen to the idiocy. I'm certain that he posted what a lot of us were thinking.

The sound of people engaging reverse across multiple threads atm is deafening.

OT - Horizon actually marks only the second successful new IP launch from Sony this gen. 1886 tanked (although I would be interested in uncovering its global LTD), DC led to a studio closure nd both killed any chance of a franchise being developed from the IP.

So no - it is only in the last few weeks that there has been a sense that it would be a success and a good game, so let's just quit the whole 'It was inevitable' nonsense, which is as obnoxious as the 'Sent out to die!' stupidity.

Oh, nice!

It is great to have the exact sales number for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time launch week.

I assume that figure is from Chart-Track and likely upweighted, isn't it?

They don't give a source, but my assumption is that it's a Chart-Track figure via THE Games, who were the Nintendo distributor at the time (Nintendo didn't directly operate in the UK then). The only exact numbers that I see from back then are Chart-Track numbers, which THE Games would have had access to as an ELSPA member. I would expect them to upweight the raw number from 75% when giving numbers to the press (standard PR).

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/ukcharts_annual2003_part2

Next up, the GameCube fared a little better in the exclusivity stakes, despite having a significantly smaller installed base than Microsoft's machine. Top of the heap was - unsurprisingly - Mario Kart: Double Dash!! at No.45, which sold an impressive 150k (the equivalent of over a million on the PS2, on a ratio of buyers to installed base), while The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker managed a No.55 placing on 140k sales. But it's perhaps worth bearing in mind that the £50 Ocarina Of Time on N64 managed to shift 161k pre-Christmas back in 1998, and a further 93k in the following year in a market worth half as much as it is now, and when discounting was nowhere near as common as it is now. In comparison, the fervour for these ageing brands just isn't what it was in the UK.

This article on the 2003 Chart-Track annual report gives 161k for "pre-Christmas", which matches the 61k (50/98) + 100k (51/98) figures that we have. It then dropped down and out of the charts for the next three weeks, before re-entering at #1. It supposedly sold 93k in 1999. It probably ended up around 300k. Wind Waker did 140k in 2003, which should be the raw 85% number;

In terms of pure sales grunt, the gap between FIFA 2004 and the rest was vast. According to ChartTrack's 6,500-strong UK panel (an estimated 85 per cent of the true figure), 878,000 bought EA's latest footy title - a 19 per cent improvement on sales of the previous version and over 350,000 ahead of its closest competitor.

So Jeuxvideo.com says Horizon was the best launch on ps4, all games included.

Translated from French
Sony tells us that HZD becomes the best launch of a new IP on PS4, a position previously occupied by NMS. It's also the best launch *period* on PS4, title previously owned by Uncharted 4
Mistake?
