Nordic VG market figures 2010-2013

Following the lack of PAL charts updates for Finland and Sweden, I found a handful of public reports for the Nordic market (SWE - NOR - FIN - DEN) covering the last few years.

It's SW only unfortunately, but still. Thought it might have some interest for the most hardcore sales-age gaffers. There's some interesting things, like rather significant differences in the different platforms' relative performances in each country.

Note: They have XB1 data apparently but will only release them in the next report, as the XB1 is not officially released there yet.

Here we go:

Ice hockey is most watched sport (by seaters) in Finland. Last year Finnish Elite Leaque average watchers per game (chart in Finnish) was 4974. No surprise NHL is yearly really high in sales.

These numbers are relevant to my interests. The Vita and Wii U numbers stood out to me. The difference from 2012 to 2013 is sad but not overly surprising for the Vita. I guess the higher sales for the Wii U software also makes sense, with some good games coming out every now and then.

The Vita isn't in stock in many stores, let alone any Vita games. If you want Vita stuff, online gaming stores is what you will have to turn to.

No Iceland? Sales would be miniscule in comparison to these countries, but still, would be interesting.

Sweden the only Nordic country that's almost neck and neck X360 and PS3? Really curious if we get some more info on PS4 sales.

Also 37000 PS4's in November/December in Sweden, 26000 in Norway, 20000 in Denmark? Can anyone speculate about 2014 sales so far?

PS3/360 being presumable very close, while the PS3 is dominating in other Nordic countries.
Essentially it looks like Sweden is UK-like while the rest is more mainland EU-like.

If Nintendo had a good distributor in these countries, they could have sold so much more... Please, Nintendo of Europe: ditch Bergsala, and start up your own distributor.

We need to saw Sweden off from the Nordics as it seems clear that they have vastly different gaming preferences! They could unite with UK.

Swedish players are also a lot more common in esports and Starcraft sales are a lot higher there. I honestly don't know and as a 360 owner would imagine Norway was more similar.

Anyway, did some digging since this chart seemed off, at least for 2013.
The link also has much of the digital sales as well.

http://dataspelsbranschen.se/media/135759/nordic_game_sales_2013.pdf

We actually had a thread for it not so long ago.

And all we had to say to that was...FFS NPD step up your game :D

I would guess thats where MS marketing dollars for scandinavian region go. Just grab the biggest region and forget the rest.

Or... swedes just think theyre "bättre folk", trying to be a little different with their fancy 360s.

People in Finland are so anti-handheld it hurts. The DS seems to have done well in other Nordic countries, but not in Finland.

Damn cellphones.

Adding 2011 and 2010 for your entertainment.

Of note:
- Norway overtook Denmark in 2012.
- The absolutely awful start of the 3DS (released in Feb. 2011)
- What the fuck is flaklypa Grand Prix? (#20 in Norway in 2010)
- Scandinavian people love dem some Battlefield, Call of duty, Lego, Fifa.
- Finnish people seem a bit stingy. Old (and I assume super cheap) title chart moreso than in other countries. I mean, FIFA 10 >>> FIFA 11 in 2010?

Ah. Yeah well, with 4 different years I just limited to the main info because I didn't feel like spending the day on it :p
There is a link at the bottom of the OP for all 4 full reports though. Which are the ones your images are from.

- What the fuck is flaklypa Grand Prix? (#20 in Norway in 2010)
Click to expand...

Hahaha :p

Flåklypa Grand Prix is an old stop animation movie which is very popular here and airs every Christmas. In 2010 it got a Nintendo DS game which is the one charting. The English title is The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix and there was an English dub.

Thanks for the numbers!

The 4 markets combined still makes up a small one (25m population, 9m software sold in 2013).
I can see why Nintendo don't bother to setup a proper business over there but it's still a missed opportunity: They are probably making +€50m on software sales alone. And with proper distribution network, I'm sure they can grow their market share in a substantial way...

Anyway, did some digging since this chart seemed off, at least for 2013.
The link also has much of the digital sales as well.

We actually had a thread for it not so long ago.

And all we had to say to that was...FFS NPD step up your game :D

Number one takeaway? Norway buys a lot more games per person than Sweden. Interesting, i'd chock it up to our economy being so much better, but Swedes are known for their gaming large communities, and generally seen as the most "nerdy" of the nordics.
