PAL Charts - Week 23, 2014

Nice to see Borderlands still hanging on in there.


I checked Germany at random and The Witcher 3 (PC) is #1.

I don't think Amazon are a terribly useful sales barometer.

That's the collector's edition. The CE is #1 (PC), #8 (PS4) and #47 (X1), the normal version is #14 (PC) and #25 (X1).

Even an 81 per cent drop in sales can't shift Watch Dogs from its place as UK number one. 39 per cent of those picking up a copy this week chose PlayStation 4 as their platform, with Xbox One and Xbox 360 each getting a 22 per cent share of the action.

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2014-06-09-watch-dogs-is-still-uk-1

01 (01) WATCH DOGS (UBISOFT) - 73,720 / 461,720 (-81%)

PS4 - 28,750
360 - 16,218
XBO - 16,218

Mario Kart 8 first week: Between 58,629 and 67,575.

Despite the drop, MK8 is holding surprisingly well in the UK for a Wii U game. Also yay for Tomodachi Life.

Following its performance from last week, Mario Kart 8 still is #1 selling game this morning in the vast majority of online retailers around the world. I have the feeling it must be close to 2 millions now.

OT, wonderful 101 top ten amazon.com right now. Cool.
 
It's probably more the bundle than the draught. The TF-bundle is the main SKU of the XB1 at the moment, so the most sales of the console also increase the sales of the game.

I didn't think that this chart counted digital downloads does it? I'm sure the SKU has a download code rather than physical product.

But hey, I'm just a junior. I could be wrong.

If memory serves (the Chart-Track site is down for me at the moment), they don't count any official bundles, but retailer specific ones get counted. Essentially, if it shows up on your receipt as a separate game sale, it goes towards the numbers.

For the case of Titanfall, the digital version attached to the XBone is counted on these charts. What is NOT going to be counted are any digital games that are attached to Mario Kart 8 purchases.

German charts are up.

Wildstar (PC) is 4th, behind what I assume is WD PS4 and PS3, and MK8? (no idea about the order for these, but they were last week's Top 3).
That's all I got :/

According to a Nintendo FR rep', in this E3 interview (in French), Wii U sales are up 660% since the MK8 release: http://www.gameblog.fr/news/43689-e3-najib-messaoudi-nintendo-la-wii-u-n-est-pas-la-console-de

Aslo, worth noting the guy also added, when asked about the Wii U sales, that the worst seller in the console space, in France, is not the Wii U...

On a side anecdotal note, the MK8 bundle is selling better on amazon.fr than the best selling PS4 system sku (right now 7 when PS4 is 18), which is a milestone by itself knowing how Sony's system has been dominating this top 100.

Eh, if old gen consoles are included, it's not saying that much.
In the case it's just talking about current gen...the same: we all know One would be last. :p

.
I think we are in for a repeat of the PS2 era, with far less overall units sold. PS4 will have a big lead over MS and Nintendo, who will sell numbers close to each other.

The rep was horrible; however, the Nintendo France representative comment towards Wii U sales was definitely geared towards next-gen offerings such as PS4, Wii U and Xbox One. It's no surprise though.

The standard charts of recent sales aren't very useful. Once you're a week or so into the month you can use the monthly chart to get a clearer idea of recent purchases, it irons out large spikes due to flash sales and the like. So far in June, ps4 is 12th and WiiU is 13th, so they are fairly close. Weirdly, The 150 euro Witcher Wild Hunt collector edition is only two places back in 15th.

Wii U selling better than Xbone in France is not unexpected... to be fair outside US and UK it expected Wii U to outsell Xbone... I mean Germany, Italy, Spain, main Europe countries, etc.

XBO is pretty fucking dead in Germany. Second week and Watch_Dogs is already out of top ten while PS4 version is the best selling game of the week.

Is there a mistake there? It shows Fifa 14 for the 360 twice, and once for XB1. But both PS3 and PS4 versions are missing
 
1.6% software market share for Vita? On sweet Jesus, it's so much worse than I imagined.

Surprised that the PS4/X1 market share is so close.

yea i was about to comment on that, so much for ps4 domination. grats to xb1 for closing the gap, they done so much work in a short space of time. 360 is just too powerful.

How is skate 3 still selling? seems like people really dig it, maybe ea should do skate 4?

The software-cap is so close because of Titanfall. In UK it had much better sales than Infamous.
And if they count bundled software too, then it's even more obvious why the gap isn't that big.
