PAL Charts - Week 31, 2014

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
So, let me get this straight.

Fifa Wii is 33rd. Fifa 3DS is 36th. Fucking Yu-Gi-Oh (the game which saw something like 60% of the original content cut) is 45th.
Meanwhile, in 40% marketshare-land, Watch Dogs is 75th (PS4 version is 4th, lower than the PC one) and Fifa is nowhere to be seen.

Anything else to say?

What explains Nintendo's (relatively) stellar performance in France?

Better taste. And also French love Japanese things, and Nintendo is part of it.

Kind of interesting that PS4/xbone versions of FIFA are just a couple spots apart but everything else is 10-30 spots apart

Having lived and taught in France I'm not sure "better taste" has anything to do with it. The French public at large has great taste in food and drink and maybe literature but it isn't exactly discerning when it comes to movies or music, I'm not sure why video games would be any different. The Japanese thing might be part of it, though Nintendo's games aren't recognizably Japanese to a layperson in the same way that manga or Hayao Miyazaki's films are. In fact, a lot of my students were unaware that Mario and Pokémon were Japanese at all.

Pretty sure better taste is subjective and by that he means they line up closer to his tastes, than well any other interpretation.

How long ago did this France loves Nintendo thing start? I seem to recall Nintendo basically not giving a shit about Europe in the NES/SNES years.

Won't change much.
Just think about it:
The PS4 was sold out until April/May 2014.
People went into stores, for more than 6 months, looking after a PS4 and just found empty shelves.
The store clerk told them "Sorry, the PS4 is sold out. We don't know when they will be available again. But you can get an Xbone for the same price (which means with Kinect) including Titanfall (when it finally launched) and people still said "lol" and leaved the store empty handed. They rather waited for a PS4 restock.
End of the brutal story: They don't want nor like an Xbone.

Germany XBox/Microsoft Situation:

There are many reasons why Microsoft is in the gutter here in Germany. Long-term and Short-term.

Short-term XBox and Microsoft issues:
- Privacy and Spying issues. This is HUGE here in Germany. Microsoft lost the generation in Germany on the 7th of June 2013: http://pics.computerbase.de/5/0/0/5/5/1_m.jpg PRISM NSA - Scandal, mere Days (4) before E3 2013
Who was the first IT Giant, that signed up for Prism? MICROSOFT. Who is absent from that list? Sony!
At that moment, Xbox One with mandatory Kinect was the SPY-CONSOLE here in Germany.
- The TV-deals and NFL Focus (America F*** Yeah! stance) are not particulary well liked. The expactation to get this TV-Deals in a timely manner was nonexistant. All the All-in-one Setteop-Box Nonsense has no impact in the germany TV market.

Longterm XBox and Microsoft issues:
- betrayal of the PC-Gaming Market. The other huge issue that we have with Microsoft. You guys might have heard, that we germans love PC-Gaming. Microsoft was one of the big PC-Gaming Publishers that had a great standing in Germany. Especially with well liked Genres like Flight/Space Sims, Strategy and Mecha.
Starlancer, Freelancer, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Mech Commander, Age of Empires, etc. etc. All well loved. And Microsoft burned these bridges.
We couldnt wrap our heads around the notion, that a PC-centric IT-Giant created their own opponent with the XBox Division.
They raised a youth who never learned to use Windows jackiechanmeme.jpg Why would you do that?
They should have made all their exclusives Crossbuy/crossplay from the beginning. So that the XBox Division was not an opponent to the Windows Division and you dont burn bridges with your Windows followers. The consensus here and in the us seems to be, that PC gaming is not for them and the majority would never play with KB/M. Then Microsoft should have had no fears of undermining their console-sales.

Personally, I boycotted the Xbox when Halo was announced as an XBox Exclusive. And microsoft Gaming Studios is now nonexistant in the PC Sector. RIP Freelancer and Mech Commander Series.
(Still use Windows and Office)

MCV UK gives some detail on July sales:
MCV UK said:
How To Train Your Dragon 2 was the only new game to make the UK Chart-Track Retail Top 50 last month.

As a result, the best-selling games of July were Watch Dogs at No.1 (released in May), Sniper Elite III at No.2 (released in June) and FIFA 14 at No.3 (released in September 2013). At No.4 it was Wolfenstein: New Order (May), while Titanfall (March) rounded off the Top Five.

Given the dearth of new releases, it will come as no surprise that the number of boxed games sold last month was down 47 per cent compared with June. In terms of revenue, the decline was even steeper: a drop of 51 per cent. (Overall, 1.1m physical games were sold between June 29th and July 26th, which generated just £6.6m.)

There's also a bit in there about hardware, but it's hand waving.

The Last Of Us Remastered dominating everywhere then.

According to Amazon UK the PS3 version of TLOU is currently the 2nd best selling game. (Ignoring FIFA / Destiny pre-orders) I wonder if it will make an appearance on the official chart tomorrow?

I think with normal drop of 1st week to 2nd week of 80%. we can expect the sales to be around 14 - 15k. Which should make it comfortably land in Top 3.

But i think as its a re-release therefore the drop should be much closer to 60%. so expecting it to sell around 20 - 25k which can make it land at No 1 in UK charts

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
With little in the way of new releases, ‘The Last of Us: Remastered’ (-55%) easily holds on to the No1 crown for a second week.

The Top 3 are all unchanged with ‘Watch Dogs’ (-14%) and ‘FIFA 14’ (-19%) still holding at No2 and No3 respectively. Retailer promotions for ‘GTA V’ (+37%) propel it six places to No4 its highest position since the end of October last year. ‘Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition’ (-2%) remains at No5 while ‘The Lego Movie Videogame’ (-10%) slips two places to No6. ‘Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition’ (-7%) also slides a place to No7. ‘Call of Duty: Ghosts’ (-2%), ‘Battlefield 4’ (-8%) and ‘Sniper Elite 3’ (-25%) round off the Top 10 this week.
The sole new release breaking into the Top 40 this week is Capcom’s ‘Ultra Street Fighter IV’ landing at No15. ‘The Last of Us’ (+73%) also makes a second appearance in our Top 40 this week with the original PS3 version climbing to No24.
