Yeah I guess you're right. It was more entitlement than anything. But it seems that crowd was the vocal minority.
Those charts are for March.Do Germany and Spain get games late, do they have weird tastes in games or do they just have different buying habits (or all of the above)?
I.e. where is GoW?
Germany hasn't been updated yet. As for Spain, I think we are still waiting for April's numbers.Do Germany and Spain get games late, do they have weird tastes in games or do they just have different buying habits (or all of the above)?

Yes. You think you're entitled to a lower price because it was cheaper on another console. Well too bad. It was full price and sold well. You are the vocal minorityYes it's entitlement to complain about a port coming out years after the original release and being charged more than the original price. I swear, sometimes this message board figuratively blows my mind.
Impressive! every post you make makes me roll my eyes harder. I think microtransactions are a good business decision, but it doesn't mean I have to like them. I think DKTF pricing is a good business decision but I don't have to like it either. It doesn't make me entitled, I'm not demanding anything from Nintendo.Yes.

While it's difficult to tell with targeted ad's, Detroit is almost up there with God of War in terms of the online marketing push. I can't really speak for the TV presence as I watch very little. Likewise, although Amazon is not the best for judging specific software sales, it's decent for a snapshot of how a titles fairing. Detroit has been in and around the top 5 for some time now.

And you think it would have fold multiples of that if it were cheaper? Highly unlikely. Sorry to tell you Nintendo made the right call on the pricing.Okay, let's not act as if 13k or some sales are some great rebuttal to a late port being full price.
It sold 13k.

How about they don't be scummy charging $60 for a 4 year old game that was priced at $50 on releaseAnd you think it would have fold multiples of that if it were cheaper? Highly unlikely. Sorry to tell you Nintendo made the right call on the pricing.
So if we expect another ~50% drop next week (ending 13th May), then GOW will be around 13-14K. and on week ending 20th may it will be below 10k.[Week 16, 2018] GOD OF WAR (SONY COMPUTER ENT.) - 96,000 / NEW
[Week 17, 2018] GOD OF WAR (SONY COMPUTER ENT.) - 62,000 / 158,000 (-35%)
[Week 18, 2018] GOD OF WAR (SONY COMPUTER ENT.) - 27,000 / 185,000 (-56%)

Opening was actually around 96K according to Bruno.
Given the poster, it's not really. I just learn to ignore these dudesArguing about paying more money on an older game is really odd

I don't see it very easy for GOW to stay on Number 1 especially with Football craze picking up so may be FIFA will reach Number 1 again or some boxed game reach number 1
I'm specifically talking about online marketing. Ad's on YouTube, site ad's etc., but it's difficult to judge based on what's targeted vs everyone seeing them. Detroit is certainly being treated as a AAA release by Sony, bigger than say the recent Shadow of the Colossus release.Definitely not on par with God of War, not even close.
For God of War you have special bundles, E3 major game reveal, Gameinformer cover page, ads un cinemas... This is Last of Us or Uncharted type of marketing for God of War. Detroit is not there.
Yeah, ever since Xbox lost marketing it has been doing low on it.Weird that FIFA 18 isn't charting on Xbox but so high on the PS4. I know you can get it bundled there? but there's seems quite a big difference. Shame NNKII didn't make a re entry as it seemed to get a good price drop.

Detroit definetly doesn't get GoW marketing treatment as it has simply no ability to sell 10m lifetime even if it revolutionized the story genre. It is a mid budget (around $30m production costs) new IP in a still nieche genre.Definitely not on par with God of War, not even close.

People waiting on EA Access to add it, FIFA 17 was added April last year, so either it's World Cup or PS4 marketing holding it back this year.Weird that FIFA 18 isn't charting on Xbox but so high on the PS4.

Article says the rise was because of price promotion, sp yeah.Looks like SoT being the major Xbox bundle is it's saving grace in the charts. Otherwise I think it would have probably disappeared by now (and deservedly imo). How's the player count and Twitch streams doing? Or has it already be mostly forgotten about?
Inside top 20 of most played on UK and US, in Spain too but ES is a tiny market for Microsoft, I didn't ckecked other markets, The game is still the 4th best selling game on Amazon UK. The game is doing decent with or without bundle, let's not forget that is on game pass.Looks like SoT being the major Xbox bundle is it's saving grace in the charts.

It's like some people are rooting more for the multibillion company they love instead of rooting for themselves, it's incredible really.Yes it's entitlement to complain about a port coming out years after the original release and being charged more than the original price.

It's 15th on the Amazon yearly ranking, however Amazon shouldn't be used as barometer for games sales. SoTC is above God of War on it. It sold around 2k.Inside top 20 of most played on UK and US, in Spain too but ES is a tiny market for Microsoft, I didn't ckecked other markets, The game is still the 4th best selling game on Amazon UK.

Pokemon Sun/Moon iircWow April was the last possible month MK8D could have gotten the Sales Award for 500k sales considering game.de only gives them within one year after release. That was a close one lol. I wonder what was the last Nintendo title in Germany that has gotten the Special Sales Award.
Did DK:TF sell well and justify the $60 price tag? In what world is a 13k opening selling well?
Yea, it did better than the abysmal opening of the Wii U version. That's not exactly a high bar to cross and doesn't propel it into the "selling well" territory.
