Skylanders - I didn't think numbers that low even existed.

 

[Mpl90]

Just Dance 2017 (Switch) - 1,600

[MUnited83]

Just Dance 2017 (Switch) - 1,600
Just Dance 2017 (Xbox One) - 1,300

I know right?
Xbox One version should have sold more than the Switch tbh

 

[Phamit]

Xbox numbers must be bad in spain

 

[TheLegendaryN]

Great reality check for all people who think Nier and Yakuza 0 have great success in the west due to positive reviews. PlayStation is huge in Spain compared to Xbox, so that isn't a problem. Those games just are niche.

And they may be successful, but in their own tier. They don't sell millions outside Japan. Numbers may be a little bigger in France and Italy, but are probably lower in Germany and the UK, so the 100,000 milestone in Europe will most likely not be reached.

 

[loki 16]

How big is FIFA in Spain? It obliterates everything else.

 

[Gaspard]

Dat Twilight Princess doe

 

[TheLegendaryN]

How big is FIFA in Spain? It obliterates everything else.

FIFA is huge, everywhere in Europe. I don't know if EA puts any official sales numbers out each year, but a large majority of those sales are from Europe and Spain is no exception to that as football is the most popular sport over there by far.

 

[Tailzo]

Spain has almost 50 million inhabitants, right? Then I feel all these numbers are low. Maybe consoles are not a hot item there?

 

[Resistance100]

It's a smaller market compared with France and the UK in Europe

 

[Zedark]

How big is FIFA in Spain? It obliterates everything else.

Obviously absolutely massive. How could it be any different with the prominence of Spanish Football (soccer if you live across the sea)?

GAF still wondering why Nintendo bothered with a 3DS version ?

Have you seen all the "Nintendo needs to drop the 3DS ASAP" posts? 🤷

 

[KHlover]

Have you seen all the "Nintendo needs to drop the 3DS ASAP" posts? ��

They should drop it...2020 or so when it stops selling (although it could also do a PS2 and sell until like 2025)

 

[ramparter]

GAF still wondering why Nintendo bothered with a 3DS version ?

Game must be a million seller already.

 

[LifeBrandRobot]

Those Nier Automata numbers make me so sad.

 

[frankie_baby]

Its near enough a million in japan alone

 

[Bruno MB]

Those Nier Automata numbers make me so sad.

When you compare it to other Japanese niche games, NieR Automata actually had a good launch.

One fun fact, NieR Automata had a slightly bigger launch in Spain than Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

Edit: I forget to include Grand Theft Auto V. The PlayStation 4 version has sold 450,000 units.

 

[Rymuth]

I've heard that Spain likes soccer.

You know what's better than Soccer? Anime Soccer!

Feb 2014 sales
1. Inazuma Eleven 3: Team Ogre Attacks (3DS)
2. FIFA 14 (PS3)
3. Call of Duty: Ghosts (PS3)
4. Grand Theft Auto V (PS3)

8. Thief (PS4)
9. Mario Party: Island Tour (3DS)
10. Just Dance 2014 (Wii)

Spain's gonna lap up the new IE

 

[Crow Pudding]

1 - Yes, Soccer in spain is almost sacred, it always is best seller every year. In fact, i know some people only buys consoles to play fifa and pes.

2 - Xbox one numbers are quite low sadly... Playstation is a too big brand here.

 

[ramparter]

Its near enough a million in japan alone

lol I just saw the Media Create sales and came here to say the same. I believe this game will 100% come to Switch but I expect them to delay it for a year or two - probably with a good amount of extras.

 

[daxgame]

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD (Wii U) - 17,100
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Wii U) - 13,800

lol

 

[LordOcidax]

Amazing. The Zelda hype is real.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Just Dance 2017 (Switch) - 1,600

Lmao that face. Yeah this is crazy tho

The power of launch games.

 

[eFKac]

Expected that For Honor and Wildlands won't do as well in mainland Europe as they did in UK and US.

 

[Slash76]

In Spain most of Xbox One players that I know share accounts with a friend and buy everything digital, I do it. But Spain is sonyer mainly, I think there is a ps4/xbox one 10/1 ratio


What really shocked me in that list is Nier Automata sales, only 3k ( one of those copies is mine ). It's a shame an amazing game like this has this poor sales.

 

[Guymelef]

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD (Wii U) - 17,100
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Wii U) - 13,800

lol

Actually TP HD is over 20,000.

I think they are counting Collector's Edition + Nintendo Selects instead of Collector's Edition + Nintendo Selects + Standard Edition.

 

[Psyrgery ES]

That's why Microsoft has stopped localising their games in european spanish

 

[Orgen]

Still surprised about the numbers that Just Dance keeps doing in Spain... damn! And yeah, some contradictions with the Vandal podcast numbers mmmm... what is the source of Hobby Consolas? AEVI? GFK?

There's no Nintendo Selects for TPHD as far as I know. (maybe you were thinking about WWHD?

 

[oti]

Just Dance 2017 (Switch) - 1,600
Just Dance 2017 (Xbox One) - 1,300

Just Dance Wii is outselling the other versions comfortably on Amazon Germany I believe.

interesting, the world is 'sonyer'. And by sales it looks like Nintendo's Zelda beat sony's Horizon, so not sure if that fits into the narrative of sonyland really. But who knows.

Just Dance 2017 (Xbox One) - 1,300

Not that surprised about Switch beating Xbone here. Xbone is dead in Europe, especially to young girls (who are the target group of Just Dance), and you would need a Kinect to play it, whereas Switch let's you play it out of the box. I'm more surprised by the low numbers period, I figured Just Dance was still going strong. My niece bought a Wii ffs with Christmas only for this game. I guess Switch is not yet selling to you casuals. Which isn't that strange of course.

Yeah, I want to know also the source for Hobby Consolas. Usually I don't trust them on anything...

 

[Tonyx]

Woah at Twilight Princess.

The Zelda hype is real!

Too bad for Skylanders, I guess it's the end of the line for the toys-to-life fad (excluded amiibos which are more for collection anyways).

Wii and Smartphone should be the two most popular versions of this game.

 

[Fisico]

There's 1 billion inhabitants in India.
More seriously there are other factors of course, Spain is a smaller market for various reasons including à lower average income (compared to France UK and Germany), a huge chunk of population is jobless and they are less financially covered than in France, there are way fewer gamers translated in spanish than we might think (EFG instead of EFIGS happen) etc.

 

[Slash76]

I only wanted to mean that in Spain ps4/xbox sales ratio is bigger than in other countries, you only have to go to any spanish videogames shop or boards to check it. Spain is Sony territory, no one can deny it.

It's not strange to me Zeldas sales. Its Zelda, its switch release and also the only AAA available in the console. I'm very happy about Zelda sales ( I'm about to finish it, and love it, masterpiece ), well deserved.

 

[Bruno MB]

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD (Wii U) - 17,100
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Wii U) - 13,800

lol

Cumulative sales data after 1 year vs cumulative for just 2 weeks.

Hobby Consolas also shows the sales breakdown for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD and Horizon Zero Dawn.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD - 6,700
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD + Amiibo Wolf Link - 10,400

Horizon: Zero Dawn - 25,900
Horizon: Zero Dawn Limited Edition - 9,500
Horizon: Zero Dawn Collector's Edition - 3,400

 

[vivekTO]

There's 1.25 billion inhabitants in India.
.

Corrected!!

 

[Fisico]

Corrected!!

Well Wikipedia even gives me a 1.3B estimate!
That was just to give an idea that market's size isn't only determined by the number of inhabitants of course, also Spain is ~47M people

Spoiler

I still remember when I was learning in school that there were 1B chinese *sigh*

This so much. Of all my friends i'm the only one that doesn't play fifa. Actually thats the only thing they play throughout the year. And very occasionally cod.

And strangely enough they're xbox zealots when the rest of the country is ps4 zealot. I have weird friends.

Actually, i'm the weird one considering the context.

 

[Guymelef]

My bad.

Yeah, I was looking the wrong place lol.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

I've heard that Spain likes soccer.

It's literally outsold every other game listed in the OP combined. That's insane, it's practically an industry unto itself there.

GAF still wondering why Nintendo bothered with a 3DS version ?

I feel like Japan already answered that one back in December.

If only someone could penetrate 1% of that

 

[Charamiwa]

GAF still wondering why Nintendo bothered with a 3DS version ?

It makes sense financially, but I do think it lessens the impact of a Switch port. It made the game feel less special in a way. Now they'll have to add a lot of things to the game and maybe rebrand it for it to work again I feel.
