PAL Charts - Week 14, 2018
- Thread starter Bruno MB
- Start date
Are you talking about the 3 MS published titles in the top 5? I guess it is impressive. Far from a turned tide though.
Y'all have some weird definitions of what front loaded is for a title released in January cause it ain't charting like a Nintendo ever green title or GTA.
Considering it has sold a huge amount of copies at the beginning but is now outside of the top 40, I would consider it front loaded, yes. Besides aren't Monster Hunter games always front loaded?
It had pretty good drops week after week making it the opposite of front-loaded. Being out of the charts over two months later doesn't matter it front loaded.
It had good legs in pretty much every region.

Switch software is doing really well in Spain. 5/10 games of the top 10, and seeing BotW still in there after a year, considering it's Spain, is pretty impressive. PS4 leads as usual, of course, while I'm partially surprised by how badly SoT did here (3rd in the XBO rank in March).
2 months charting is very front loaded now? And for a MH game in the West.
Kirby still BEASTING!http://www.sell.fr/#top-ventes

Well, RIP Ni no Kuni 2, France was its last chance, but its second week number are worse than 1 year-old mario kart. Even if Switch software has insane legs, it's still bad for NnK2
What? No it wasn't. It wasn't even the most hyped PS3 exclusive.
it was. Maybe you were in some alternate universe but trailer of that big battle from reveal were so hyped in internet forums for years. Demo was crashed PSN(lol)
it was the only big game sony users waited with big ass hype. No, nobody was that hyped for uncharted2.
(Talking about exclusives, even that besife cod mw2 its still in top3 i wager)
As far as exclusives go, The Last of Us was more hyped. If we count multiplats, Modern Warfare 2, GTA5, Red Dead Redemption, Skyrim, and Fallout 3 were all hyped more. If we take other systems' games into account, Smash Bros. Brawl and Halo 3 were significantly more hyped as well.
Fears regarding NNK2 seems to become true. I don't have the PC numbers yet but at least on consoles it will have a hard time matching the first game. NNK1 was something special on PS3 sind there weren't so many quality JRPGs avaliable....the sequel doesn't have the same optimal conditions.
Actually it sold +9m in 2 months.

Far Cry being Far Cry and Nintendo being Nintendo, it seem...
It goes to show how bad the retail gaming market is in the UK. Imagine how badly games like ni no kuni 2 have done here. Sony is still the market leader here but numbers are so low on their exclusives. God of war will absolutely smash it like uncharted did though. and then it will be back to trickled sales
I didn't know Microsoft become a third party publisher all sudden.http://www.sell.fr/#top-ventes

EA Sports getting into Far cry.
Where do I begin.

As you can see retail is doing fine it just a slow time of year. Ni No Kuni 2 publisher is Bandai Namco try again. Sony last exclusive was Shadow of the Colossus which sold relatively well. http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2018/02/uk_sales_charts_shadow_of_the_colossus_looms_large_at_no_1
Less than 100k. http://steamspy.com/app/589360
Considering how NNK2 and DQH did, I think people might overestimate how DQXI will sell on Steam.
Oh we are pretending that ni no kuni is a mainstream game now? Sometimes I forget how ResetEra works
basically any game that is out of the top ten is doing extremely low numbers
It all depends on its legs - large part of YW numbers came from the number of PSN sales where you could get it for less than 10bucks. We will see when and how low Bamco is willing to go with NNK2.
So yeah, same ballpark numbers are likely....but i would think that Bamco expected a bit more from the sequel.
Yeah, people in general overestimate the sales potential for Steam JRPGs that launch at full price.
It certainly wasn't in the UK. Its sales here are ok but absolutely nothing noteworthy, and I believe that's true of Europe in general as well.
It'll be interesting to see how the reboot does. I don't see it doing Uncharted 4 numbers though, the brand just doesn't have that level of pull here in Europe. Maybe Horizon numbers if it reviews well.
Where do I begin.

This post is incredible. UK retail is in a good place? in 2018?
wow, just wow.
Yeah that's disappointing that they need the (mediocre) PC numbers to make up the decline from PS3 to PS4. Can't really be optimistic on digital making any significant difference either considering it wasn't in the top 20 digital titles in its launch month (albeit only slightly over a week was counted but still).
I'd still recommend this game despite its numerous shortcomings but I am not optimistic for this franchise anymore really. NNK2 would've been expected to do quite a bit better I feel.
It might have helped if NNK2 wasn't being met with such mixed WoM, at least from what I can see. But I think that just sweeps the rug from under its feet.
Did you look at the link I provided or the OP.
https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2018-04-09-uk-games-retail-market-struggles-in-march
So could please provided evidence to the contrary.
And march 2018 didn´t have Switch Launch + Zelda, Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Nier Automata and Mass Effect Andromeda. So it´s hardly suprising that it had to be down YoY.

Well i didnt say that March 18 being down compared to 17 is a surprise.
Last year March had the release of a new console software such Zelda, Horizon Zero Dawn, Mass Effect Andromeda and Ghost Recon Wildlands compared to Far Cry 5, Sea of Thieves, Ni No Kuni 2, Kirby. It should be expected for sotware sells to be soft last month yoy.
"God of War is one of our big titles for 2018 and the marketing investment is indicative of that.
We want to make sure that we convey the stature and magnitude of God of War; this is an epic action-adventure game which will be brought to life via big AV placements across TV and cinema.
The ATL spend will place God of War in front of a huge audience. TV, cinema and VOD will deliver the trailer to a substantial mainstream audience across sport and film audiences – Tomb Raider, Pacific Rim 2, Ready Player One.
There will also be out-of-home placements on over 2,500 buses around the UK and hundreds of 48 sheet [billboards]. Alongside this, there will be a large digital and social plan providing new content and high impact advertising across a wide range of gaming sites, mainstream media outlets and more, providing an always-on approach to God of War."

Safe to say I'm glad I do not have a significant investment in GAME right around now lol.
GoW and LABO will give some optimism next week I hope but the last weeks have been a drought definitely to say the least.
