PAL Charts - Week 44, 2013

Does the platform order indicate share of sales? PC appearing first in some games leads me to say no.

Can't see how it could. For example, GTA 5 PS3 hasn't ever charted above the 360 version, but it is listed PS3, 360.
 
I have the October platform breakdown. Will get to it later.

UK October 2013 Top Retail Software

FIFA 14 (360, PS3, 3DS, PSP, PC, PS2, Wii, PSV)
FIFA 13 (360, PS3, 3DS, PSP, PC, PS2, Wii U, Wii, PSV)

Unless the digital sales were fucking nuts, I doubt there'll be any more FIFA titles on Vita.
 
I'm interested in Wii U's top 10.

Wii U Retail Top 10 - UK October 2013
  1. The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD
  2. Sonic: Lost World
  3. Nintendo Land
  4. LEGO City Undercover
  5. Skylanders: Swap Force
  6. New Super Mario Bros. U
  7. New Super Luigi U
  8. Rayman Legends
  9. Wii Party U
  10. Pikmin 3
 
Unless the digital sales were fucking nuts, I doubt there'll be any more FIFA titles on Vita.

I seriously doubt the Vita version charted below the 3DS version, let alone the likes of the PS2. I'm pretty certain that doesn't indicate which versions sold the best. For one, I actually remember the Vita version appearing in the charts in its debut.
 
Yes, Saty, the generally indication is that the platform list is ranked by units per platform.
That would mean that in October Infinite, Tomb Raider, Rayman Legends, Diablo 3, PES 2014 sold best in retail on PC which is very surprising to me. Maybe some older titles had deals and maybe that's the longer tail in display, but Diablo selling more in the month the console versions came out? And Rayman and a soccer game?

Regarding platform top 10's, all of them? :)
 
I thought we had argued in the past that the listing was a ranking.

Regardless, MCV UK isn't always precise. For example, there is a typo in the platform share.

I only recall that coming up in NPD rankings.

Although most of the list looks about right. A few don't agree with the weekly charts though.

All I can think of is that it might be revenue and console bundles make the revenue much higher.

Wii U is 1.6% of the retail UK market in 2013, by units. By revenue, it is 1.9%.

PSV is 1.5% by units and 1.1% by value.

It would be extremely interesting to know how things change if you include digital. Worldwide in 2013, Nintendo has generated approximately £400mm in digital revenue. But what part of that is the UK? Maybe 15%? That'd add, at best, another £60mm in digital, split among the NDS, 3DS, Wii, and Wii U.
 
Wii U Retail Top 10 - UK October 2013

  2. Sonic: Lost World

  6. New Super Mario Bros. U
  7. New Super Luigi U
  8. Rayman Legends
  9. Wii Party U
  10. Pikmin 3

Thank you!

I'm happy to see Nintendo Land and Lego City there. For LCU I guess this happens because of the existing bundle. And Rayman Legends above Pikmin 3 is also interesting, but perhaps it has to do with the one month difference between the launches.

The sales declines posted by Assassin’s Creed IV and Battlefield 4 was severe. Sales of Creed are down 60 per cent year-on-year, while Battlefield 4’s sales are down 69 per cent compared with 2011’s Battlefield 3. Week one sales of FIFA?14 were also down 24 per cent.

Aah, there you are.

ASSASSIN'S CREED 3 (UBISOFT) - 332.000

Xbox 360 - 196.000
PS3 - 136.000

With a 60% decline

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag - 132.800

Xbox 360 (60%) - 79.680
PS3 (39%) - 51.792

BATTLEFIELD 3 (ELECTRONIC ARTS) - 358.000 (PC sales not included)

Xbox 360 - 214.000
PS3 - 144.000

Given the B3 number doesn't consider PC sales, it's better to consider what said by Wetland many posts earlier

Both titles are in the six figure range and the difference was mighty close. AC was about 3% more than BF. Based on the multiplayer, one would presume that BF will have the longer legs

Then, since ACIV = BF4 x 1.03; BF4 = ACIV / 1.03 = 132.800 / 1.03 = 128.932

Battlefield 4 - 128.932

Xbox 360 (55%) - 70.913
PS3 (27%) - 34.812
PC (13%) - 16.761

Thanks to this, we now know also how much BF3 sold back then, PC included

Since BF4 = BF3 x 0.31 (due to the 69% drop), BF3 = BF4 / 0.31 = 128.932 / 0.31 =

Battlefield 3 - 415.910

What were the retail sales of 3DS software in Oct 2012? Are software sales up in 2013? Pokemon most likely has 70-80% of the total 3DS software sku sold. Also add Nintendo's ever-green titles - they most likely have 90%. Insane.
 
Hmm, even with Pokemon the 3DS only matched the monthly software of the weakest months of the year for the aging home consoles.

Oh, do you happen to have YTD Y/Y percentages, jvm? Have the 360 and PS3 maintained being up?

October 2012:
Xbox 360: 1149K
PS3: 817K
NDS: 247K
Wii: 235K
PC: 207K
3DS: 119K
PSV: 45K
PSP: 17K
PS2: 3K

So that means the 3DS is up 158% from last October (in units). Revenue is up just about 200%, probably because most of the units sold were premium priced.

Units: Xbox 360 was down 13%, PS3 was basically flat, NDS was down 69%, Wii was down 51%, PC was down 42%, PSV was down 22%, and the others are basically noise.
 
Wii U is 1.6% of the retail UK market in 2013, by units. By revenue, it is 1.9%.

PSV is 1.5% by units and 1.1% by value.

It would be extremely interesting to know how things change if you include digital. Worldwide in 2013, Nintendo has generated approximately £400mm in digital revenue. But what part of that is the UK? Maybe 15%? That'd add, at best, another £60mm in digital, split among the NDS, 3DS, Wii, and Wii U.

Well, given how low the amount of digital traffic is currently on Wii and DS, I'd say 90% of those £60mm would be on 3DS and Wii U. But yeah, if only we had more infos about digital sales on all the platforms...when will the day come? :(

However, where are the German charts?

Poor 3DS number for October considering Pokemon came out on the 12th. 308k barely beating the worst PS3 month (July at 305k) this year is very poor. Worse still is that Nintendo are running out of big hitters. From now on it's sequels and medium hits. I don't know what Nintendo can do to revive the 3DS in the UK, everything they have done so far has fallen on deaf ears. I really think the brand is just dead here, the manner in which they dumped the Wii after 2009/10 really soured people I think.

2DS, man. It just has a simple honesty about it, it isn't trying to be anything other than a cheap toy for kids. I think it'll succeed at the expense of the 3DS, but it'll succeed nonetheless.

I don't know how much you can consider Nintendo "dead" in UK when...

3DS has been the best selling console in the country for the last 6 months (given the datas we have for April, May and especially September, this means it sold quite good during Summer), without considering October, when the first two weeks saw a 45% share compared to the overall market (full month share should be around 40%, counting the Argos' deal week). About software, I'd agree with you if 3DS had a Western third party support that can be compared, even slightly, to the HD twins' one. 3DS has a very low amount of Western third party support, excluding some multi releases, how could it top PS3 software sales with just Nintendo titles and Japanese niche stuff?
 
Other than comparing it to the Vita, you're putting the 3DS up against 7-8 year old consoles. Now the real fight begins this month, although I'm sure 2DS is going to be too obvious a stocking filler to pass up.

Vita is dead. The Wii and Wii U are dead. The PS3 and 360 are 7 and 8 years old respectively. PSP is dead.

It is performing well in a dead market, but in just two weeks next gen is going to start. The 3DS is going to be blown away by the Bone and PS4 and the market will expand to accommodate the new entrants. The problem for Nintendo is that 3DS won share from a stagnant or falling market, it did nothing to expand the gaming market. PS4 and Bone are going to expand the gaming market in the UK and the 3DS will get utterly destroyed by them, probably on a global basis (other than Japan ofc).

Nintendo have thrown Pokemon, Mario 3D, Mario 2D, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing and a Zelda remake at the system and all it can muster is 1.5m software sales and 27% market share. The last and really final shot is ALBW but with a Zelda title already out on the system I'm not sure how many hardware units it will move.

Really what I'm getting it is that 300k software units in October, with the release of Pokemon and the 2DS is pitiful and a sign that the UK has just moved on from Nintendo. If Pokemon can's sell here, then nothing they have can. They have also been advertising the fuck out of it, I see so many 2DS and Pokemon adverts on TV in the evenings and I'm sure children's TV channels will have even more of it in the after school hours of 3-5pm.

In addition, it's still not yet clear whether Nintendo are actually profitable on 3DS/2DS hardware. They sold only 460k Wii Us last quarter and yet posted an operating loss of $180m, that points to poor hardware margins on both consoles, not just the Wii U, because there is no way they are losing over $300 per Wii U.

We've got a 2DS in house and our team is doing a costing analysis on it over the next week or so so we'll see how much they cut out of it to hit the low price point or whether they are incentivising buyers by selling below cost.

The 3DS has less than a third of the PS3 andor XBOX 360 LTD. Consequently, software sales cannot exceed or achieve that tier.

Furthermore, the operating loss was explained during the investors meeting:

However, in connection with the price reduction of the Wii U hardware in the overseas markets, the effects of absorbing the inventory markdown at retail, revaluating the hardware as finished goods, and loss arising from the hardware for production in the second half of the fiscal year, led to an operating loss situation.

Like I mentioned before, with each Wii U manufactured, they book the loss immediately; hence, the operating loss obtained in 1H and explained by the above.

In regards to 2DS profitability:

Incidentally the yen is now somewhat depreciated and we are able to offer Nintendo 2DS without facing profitability problems.

Low-profit margins or breaking-even.

Nintendo have thrown Pokemon, Mario 3D, Mario 2D, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing and a Zelda remake at the system and all it can muster is 1.5m software sales and 27% market share. The last and really final shot is ALBW

Last and really final shot is Zelda? I don't know where to find UK-specific numbers, or if they are available at all, but Zelda isn't as strong a franchise as you make it sound. I'm pretty sure Mario Party, Kirby, Smash Bros. and Mario & Sonic are bigger nowadays, and Yoshi and Mario Golf should be close enough that it doesn't make Zelda look like Mount Everest.

Overall I agree that they threw a lot at the 3DS already, but you make it sound like Zelda is their big ace in the sleeve. It's not that big anymore.
 
Thanks!
Wow @ PC SKU of Battlefield 4 being the best selling one O__O Another good week software wise for 3DS, especially considering the amount of brand new entries for HD consoles and PC (7). Wii Party U...somewhat holds and doesn't drop off, surprised.

‘Call of Duty: Ghosts’ reignites the All Formats Top 40, debuting at No1 with the 3rd biggest launch of the year (behind GTA V and FIFA 14). Released on Tuesday, sales were split 62% on XB360, 34% PS3, 3% PS4 and the rest on PC and Wii U. Despite Sony’s new console not due in stores until November 29th, Activision Blizzard released the PS4 version alongside the current formats. The PS4 version performs spectacularly well for a game that consumers will not be able to actually play for another 3 weeks, managing to outsell the PS3 versions of ‘Assassin’s Creed IV’ and ‘Battlefield 4’. Beaten to No1 by ‘Assassin’s Creed IV’ (-63%) last week, ‘Battlefield 4’ ( -54%) holds on to No2, outselling the popular Ubisoft title by 6,000 units across their first two weeks of launch. ‘FIFA 14’ (-16%) and ‘GTA V’ (-31%) both slip one place to No’s 4 and 5 respectively, while ‘Batman: Arkham Origins’ (-55%) also drops one place to No6, despite PC, Wii U and 3DS versions new out this week. ‘WWE 2K14’ (-57%) holds on to No7 ahead of ‘Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition’ (-3%) at No8 and ‘Football Manager 2014’ (-65%) which falls three places to No9. ‘Skylanders Swap Force’ (+2%) is at No10, the only Top 10 title to increase in sales this week. There is only one other new title to make the Top 40, Nintendo’s sixth Professor Layton game and final part of the latest trilogy of titles ‘Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy’, new at No13. Previous Layton game ‘Miracle Mask’ debuted at No7 last year.

Wait, so the PS4 version (3%) outsold the Wii U & PC versions (1% combined), despite the fact that the console isn't even on the shelves yet?

Fuuuuuuuuuuck. That is nuts.
 
Is the NSMU+L bundle out since they're recharting?
