[Coulomb_Barrier]

Yeah, Tuesday release plus big initial numbers mean it was likely to be in the 70% range

Didn't SF5 have smaller second week drop but people were saying it was a larger than normal drop and due to bad word of mouth?

You could say here then that The Division has been effected by bad WOM but it wouldn't be any more true than it was about SF5.

Yep, I noticed it too. The drop was in line with the typical drop but you know how that goes with whatever game is currently the "it" game.

 

[Raylan]

I'd say XB1 will never catch WiiU here. Vita is out of the question.

Same goes for germany. XBO won't catch the WiiU.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Damn, i just noted Knack outsold Halo 5!

Guess is time to update this photo.

 

[KillerMan91]

Eh. Xbox One was at 600k and WiiU was at 690k in Germany at the end of 2015. XBO will easily pass WiiU in LTD sales.

 

[travisbickle]

Is that saying the ratio split for Fifa 16 is 18 to 1 for PS4? If so wow that's pretty crazy.

Could have been worse if they didn't do a deal for exclusive content with EA.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Yep, I noticed it too. The drop was in line with the typical drop but you know how that goes with whatever game is currently the "it" game.

Well I know it was a lot smaller than 73%. But people wanted to frame the narrative that SF5 was the ultimate bomber so that didn't matter.

100% this.

The drop is normal but people changes the agenda according with the game lol

By now, i will start a comparation between Watch Dogs and The Division, the battle for the bigger Ubisoft IP in UK! First 10 weeks comparation.

[Raist]

I wanna Germany chaaaaaaaaaaaaart.

THe only thing they published for Week 10 is a top 5 which doesn't even have the previous week positions for what's in there. I'm not even sure that top 5 is correct. It's 3.5 for the Division anyway.

So I don't know if someone fucked up, if they don't care anymore, if they just realized that there's some guy in the UK making bogus free trial accounts every 3 weeks and they automatically redirect my IP to some fake page or something. We'll see this week, I guess.

 

[jaina]

Thanks for the effort Raist!
I'm pretty sure the top 5 is the only thing Gfk published last week. Maybe all people familiar with the process were unfortunately sick or on vacation. Curious what happens this week and whether the other one gets updated to a top 100.

 

[Shantom]

Well I know it was a lot smaller than 73%. But people wanted to frame the narrative that SF5 was the ultimate bomber so that didn't matter.

It wasn't. It was 78%.

I feel sorry for anyone who buys it ...that game is horrific

The game is far from horrific. It's pretty solid despite its lackluster story.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Knack killing all the exclusives this gen lol.halo. Bloodborne. Etc has it outsold splatoon or is splatoon goat? And within a year too.

Dude that knack talk is a joke lol.

It sold great and all since it sold over 1 million, but is not even close with Bloodborne, Halo, Splatoon ecc worlwide.

 

[ShamePain]

I love how people keep ignoring it week after week, but Forza 6 stays solidly in the charts and has been above Halo 5 and most other titles for a while now. Secretly MS' biggest exclusive?

 

[Hasney]

Not ignoring it, was mentioned last week. It dropped under £20 for the first time.

Forza 6 doing well.

Wonder how it fares 6 months in compared to Forza 4. Forza 6 launch was quite low for the franchise but I'd guess its back up there.

If they keep coming out this frequent, I expect them to keep following a similar trend. I don't think you need a new racing game every year or two, so may as well get them when they're cheap.

I don;t like playing Driveclub, especially compared to either Forza, but I wish they would take a page out of their book for the level of support.

I kind of agree. It's a bit of a weird one. I think I am ok with one every 2 years, I can't wait for forza horizon 3. I really enjoy that franchise.

Ooops Double post, sorry. Thought I edited

Yeah at this point they might get as well use Forza 6 as a service, with free and paid updates. I can picture all the eyes rolling when Forza 7 is announced next year. I'm a Forza fan but I really don't need a new game every two years. Horizon is a bit different because it's a whole new area and soundtrack etc so I'm ok with one every 2 years personally.

 

[The_lascar]

Remember the report for the 20th anniversary of the SELL? Well, it's physical only.
So here it is, finally. Sorry, no numbers.

France top 20 by GfK
No digital, no bundles.

Lucky Luke, Astérix and Titeuf: some of the biggest french comics.
Les Razmoket = Rugrats
Le Monde de Nemo = Finding Nemo
Les Indestructibles = The Incredibles.

PES consistently above FIFA for 5 consecutive years then.....whooooooosshh.

You could say here then that The Division has been effected by bad WOM but it wouldn't be any more true than it was about SF5.

Could also be that the game had horrible first week sales and even a normal drop is bad when you didn't sell much in the first place.

 

[zsidane]

Looking at the charts and you relaise that the DC did so horrible numbers that it looks like it was never out there
I imported mine from France...

per @VG_Dave

http://www.videogamer.com/news/ps4_outselling_xbox_one_by_approximately_1m_units_in_uk.html

UK consoles sales are 5.1m, according to game, so looks like 3m PS4, 2m Xbox one is the ball park split.

They did a update.

[UPDATE: Following the publication of this story, MCV has reported that actual UK sales could be high as 5.4m, stating that Xbox One may have sold up to 2.4m units.]

In any case it is way lower for Xbone than the worst estimates like 2.5m @ Halo 5 launch.

 

[Raist]

Still nothing on the German charts. End of an era?

Also Egmont (of which Nordisk Film, the official distributor for Sony in the Nordic countries) have released their 2015 report. Was hoping for a HW number update as usual, but this time they only mention that the PS4 continues to outpace the PS3.

Well presumably the PS4 was over 3M back in January, so if it's 5.4 now the XB1 can't be at 2.4.

 

[Moonstone]

Gamefront.de publishes on fridays per platform Top 3. But that is not satisfying.
There is also the gamersmarkt pdf magazine with TOP 50. But I don't think that charts are gone now.

Last week:

PS4
1. (NEU) Tom Clancy's The Division (Ubisoft)
2. ( 1 ) Far Cry Primal Special Edition (Ubisoft)
...
5. (NEU) Tom Clancy's The Division Sleeper Agent Edition (Ubisoft)

Xbox One
1. (NEU) Tom Clancy's The Division (Ubisoft)
2. ( 1 ) Far Cry Primal Special Edition (Ubisoft)
3. (NEU) Tom Clancy's The Division Sleeper Agent Edition (Ubisoft)

PS3
1. ( 1 ) FIFA 16 (EA)
2. ( 3 ) Minecraft (Sony)
3. ( 2 ) Far Cry 4 (Ubisoft)

Xbox 360
1. ( 1 ) Minecraft (Microsoft)
2. ( 3 ) Far Cry 4 (Ubisoft)
3. ( 2 ) FIFA 16 (EA)

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Thanks for that chart Oscar!

I really hope to see again Germany chart soon, it was my favourite part of the PAL thread, more than the UK chart.

But MCV previously reported 5.5m not 5.4m. Must've been prelim numbers at that point.

PS4 passed 3m sometime in January, and 5.4m is as of January 23rd.

Highest XB1 can be by then would be >2.3m

Also who estimated 2.5m back in October? That's crazy.

 

[jaina]

On March 11th, GamesMarkt.de tweeted that they're moving offices and their online presence won't be updated as usual until the 15th: https://twitter.com/GamesMarkt/status/708234981601058816/photo/1

It's already been a couple days, but I have new hope for a Germany Top 100 next week, after the move and Easter.

 

[ShamePain]

Not ignoring it, was mentioned last week. It dropped under £20 for the first time.

Yeah, I think the point is the franchise is still fairly popular out there, with a yearly release schedule of alternating Motorsport/Horizon that can share most expensive assets (cars, engine, etc.) Forza is here to stay for years to come, and honestly T10 is probably the most efficient and with the most proven track record of all MS 1st party devs, it would be dumb to lose them, when they manage to fill the gaps in software so well and with excellent games no less.

Totally, it's a great franchise and I'm still an GT fanboy, but I adore mainline Forza. Horizon is pretty fun, but the 30fps gets in the way for me.

I just feel that I'm not going to buy a new racing game with minor changes every 2 years at launch. Forza 7, with a PC that can output at 4k/60fps hopefully at that point? Oh hell yes I'm in day 1.

MCV reported "around 5.5m".
Looks like a they rounded up a little the data.

Yeap looks like PS4 increased the gap over Xbone in UK.

 

[Conduit]

Yeap looks like PS4 increased the gap over Xbone in UK.

Well, PS4 outsold Xbone throughout whole 2015. Anyway, IIRC gap was around 500k when PS4 was at 2 mil. in UK.

[Hasney]

Only entry in into the top 10 is FIFA 16 PS4. Yawn.

It’s a third week at No1 for ‘Tom Clancy’s The Division’ (-35%) in this week’s All Formats Chart.

It’s a feat not managed by a Ubisoft title since the launch of ‘Watch Dogs’ in May 2014. Last week’s debutant ‘EA Sports UFC 2’ (-51%) remains at No2 while a resurgent ‘Far Cry Primal’ (+132%) rides retailer promotions up two places to No3. Several familiar faces benefit from Easter weekend promotions this week but it’s outside the Top 10 that the debutants make their mark. Nintendo’s ‘Hyrule Warriors: Legends’ is the highest new entry landing for 3DS at No13 while another Ubisoft title in the form of ‘Trackmania Turbo’ also arrives for PS4 and Xbox One at No21.

Ouch at Trackmania though. XB1 version didn't even chart.

EDIT: XB1 version debuted at 20 on the XB1 only charts.

I mean, it would be nice if they put even 1/20th of the marketing budget from Primal or The Division towards it.

Forza 6 still selling, Halo and Gears nowhere to be seen.
