Sales of Fallout games have shot up across Europe, with Fallout 4 reclaiming the No.1 spot.

The 2015 game's sales rose over 7,500% week-on-week across Europe. This is GSD data that tracks digital game sales across all European markets, and physical sales across all major European countries (including UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain).

This is due to some heavy discounting on games in the Fallout franchise across all platforms. It's all designed to tie-in with the Fallout TV show, which has proven to be a smash hit on Amazon Prime.

The majority of Fallout 4's sales this week were on PC, representing 69% of all sales, with the rest on PlayStation and Xbox. However, it's worth noting that the game is freely available to subscribers of Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Extra (and that data is not included here). It's also available to Amazon Luna users.

Nice! Great work with the synergy of the TV show and discounts. Are these charts based on units sold or spending?

Damn!

Even though this is units based, this is very, very impressive. The cross media synergy is crazy.

Impressive the TV series made a crazy impact on the game sales.
Otherwise, the sales for everything else is just typical and disappointing to see ha. Just the usual COD/FC/GTA 5 (STILL?!), even despite the negative reception for MW3, I guess anything they do at this point doesn't matter, it's guaranteed sales it seems. Hogwarts a little surprising and disappointing, but I guess it's still a popular brand.
Just disappointing it's mostly the same handful of games that get constant high sales over time, and at least imo, some just don't deserve it.

It is cool how pop culture impacts pop culture nowadays, especially when it's about amazing titles like Fallout.
But if I remember correctly, Witcher had a similar situation when the series came up on Netflix.

7500% makes for a great headline, but that could easily be 100 sales going up to 7500.

That fact that it's outperformed FC indicates there were a decent number of new Fallout 4 buyers as the weekly baseline anyway though, good for them.
