User Warned: Thread derail, Unnecessary hostility towards members
LOL, no , comparison posts need to be relevant . You pointed out ZERO comparison talking points. Congrats !
If we can't come to any conclusion about eShop sales what context does it's placing provide in relation to it's sales in this chart?
i wouldn't be surprised if pokemon goes 3rd and 4th first week. i think its going to underperform worldwide, but if a game like this does relatively bad anywhere its gonna be the UK lol

edit:
what are you trying to achieve with this? the poster just gave us potentially useful, if not at the very least interesting information. not every single post in this thread has to be a mind blowing analysis - hell, most posts tend to just be personal commentary on how things look. them posting that isn't bad in any way, idgi
Wait till there is a new Train, Truck or Landwirtschaftssimulator coming out in germany... these things have a hardcore PC crowd following.
Quite surprised at the debut for Lego Harry Potter. Thought it would be a lot lower considering it's both a late port and a very quiet release. I can imagine a lot of that is due to it being a fairly cheap Switch Lego game.
Damn at Call of Cthulu's opening. That's not good at all.

Well we are all at least capable of understanding that being at no1 is far better than being at no 20-30 or something, hence why I posted where Diablo 3 charted. And it's not a forgone conclusion that new games place incredibly high either, I've not looked today but Lego Harry Potter for example did not chart high over the weekend, definitely not top 5 even IIRC.
So yeah as to what the numbers exactly are, what the attach rate is, how many units sold is necessary to be no1 in such-and-such a week is a crapshoot but there's still relevance for the placement I think even without exact detail on the above.
Ok, I will post charts from October 1987 with zero reason why?
People need to make points , about why there posting sales data. Make the discussion go further .
Well I guess if you are only doing a relative comparison but it doesn't help get to the answer if D3 switch sold well or not. I think the idea that it didn't take much to get to the top of eShop this week is valid looking at D3s placement in the physical chart but then again it's sales could be completely skewed to digital.
You don't have to be this aggressive. You can make your point without being rude.
Okay, you do that then.
The obvious point is to see what tge chart comparatively looked like last year. But really, why don't you contribute something instead of just being snide and annoying?
I guess our defenitions of "being rude " is wildly different . Guessing different countries and all that
Just leave it , posters post added nothing to this week's sales data , different games out that weren't out last year .
Let's stop detailing thread .
Naw, I and several other poster beg to differ about the posted information. Just because you seeemingly can't find value in it, that doesn't make it pointless
Like I said, contribute if you think so little of his/her post.
i m sure it will have an effect for sure but not to the degree of the official bundle and constant advertising everywhere.
Yeah, I'd seen the splits of the game last week. Interested to see it this week too.
Pretty crazy that microsoft managed to keep some form of a grip in the uk after the colossal mess from the start of the gen. I find it hard to believe the console split is that close in the uk
Oh ok ^^
Yeah, I don't understand the "UK = Sonyland" claims
For me, it's a US 2.0, one error from Sony and MS will do ahead
Next gen will be interesting here
UK is their 2nd strongest market at least from the info we get from these types of threads. Not sure about Mexico, but I would expect the splits close there too. Keeping some form of grip of UK is pretty much all they have done. Not much expansion brand-wise elsewhere imo.
Yeah I was hoping for a better entry but Focus normally budget approprietly so hopefully it still does well for them.
The same week for the same market exactly one year ago is totally relevant. What is it about last year's chart that is upsetting you?
I'm surprised the hardware split is (was?) that close considering that the (physical) software splits are typically more like 65/35 on average (and sometimes more like with RDR2 or SC6). Either Xbox owners buy fewer games, Xbox owners buy more games digitally instead of physically, or there are a lot of dormant Xbox Ones out there. Digital sales numbers can't come soon enough.

Or Xbox owners are more found of first person shooters as COD is almost 55/45 which is inline with hardware split. usually 3rd person action adventure does better on PS than xbox and FPS does better on xbox than PS relative to userbase.
I think that's more a case of Xbox 360 being the main CoD platform last gen, so many CoD fans - and for many it's the only game they play - simply bought the new Xbox without even considering an alternative.
But indeed, clearly if you're in to third person action adventures, or Japanese games, you're going to own a PS4 this gen.
I'm sure there's a lot of different factors that go into it, like the slightly higher digital ratio, larger shooter audience and so on. One factor I think a lot of people forget is if someone owns both base consoles, the PS4 version is almost always the version to get.
Xbox 360 was a Shooter powerhouse, many old 360 owners probably switched to One instantly since all their friends might play there.
Shame we see another Switch 3rd party bomb in the UK. Real shame.
Tbf late ports were never great for Wii U either. But it's clear from the sales of things like Crash on Switch that it has more of a party/family/local multiplayer buying crowd in the UK than anything else.

Damn such huge gap, I imagine 90% on whole EU & 99.9% in Asia no?
If you're talking Diablo then I wouldn't call it a bomb...I couldn't find a copy locally so I had to buy digital. It sold well enough for what it is imo.
So RDR, BO4, Fifa 19 and maybe Forza? Publishers digital shops on PC putting in work.
PSN happened and Sony deals on there are unmatched, also Fifa Cod Rdr2 all launched outside of Steam so I'd say it's pretty normal.

Do switch games usually do better in Spain than UK?
COD doesn't seem so great but apparently sales are higher than BO3. Digital must be huge for it.
These drops are rather hefty for RDR2. Nothing out of the norm for AAA games, but I expected better for RDR2 in particular.
