PAL Charts - Week 20, 2018

[c0de]

Heavy Rain sold 86,000 units in its first week.

Well, I guess than we can say for sure that Detroit didn't reach that.

 

[Saint-14]

Heavy Rain sold 86,000 units in its first week.

Now this is confusing, article says Heavy Rain sold x4 more than Detroit and Detroit is in line with Beyond, are the 37k for Beyond wrong?

 

[Primethius]

Decent result for Detroit. Not bad but not great, since the comparison is being drawn to Beyond and not Heavy Rain sales wise.

 

[chobel]

Heavy Rain sold 86,000 units in its first week.

Oh boy, Detroit is not even 25K?

 

[patapon]

Heavy Rain sold 86,000 units in its first week.

Ooof, that'll put detroit around 21k because articles says that Heavy Rain sold 4x more :/

 

[VX1]

You are right but in the article they say

so perhaps digital attach rate was not that high for Detroit.

They know as much as you and me ,they are just speculating about digital.Until 2019 only Sony really knows digital UK numbers.
Last Sony report said that Q4 2017 global digital sales were 43%.

 

[BioDigital Jazzman]

Heavy Rain sold 86,000 units in its first week.

So ot sold 21k then? Or the writers math is off

 

[Saint-14]

Also any idea how much did the first SoD do?

37 is the upper limit, it sold less than that, significantly less than that https://www.neogaf.com/threads/pal-charts-week-41-2013.696904/post-85995310

 

[c0de]

So State of Decay 17k and DS remastered even below that? That's not a good week for new releases at all...

 

[Theorry]

That game was a digital only XBLA game. :)

I see.

Too hot out to play games. I think all 3 will have relatively decent legs in the next few weeks.

 

[VX1]

I am also curious about sales numbers in FR and DE,seems it is selling well over there,according to Amazon FR & DE.
Detroit looks to me like something that could be popular among us continental Euros :)

 

[Ruslnis]

How many days of tracking for top 3?

 

[black070]

Beyond: Two Souls did a million WW in 3 months by the way.

[silva1991]

Beyond Two Souls did a million WW in 3 months by the way.

Do we know ltd numbers?

 

[patapon]

[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%)
[Week 19, 2018] GOD OF WAR (SONY COMPUTER ENT.) - 19,000 / 204,000 (-30%)
[Week 20, 2018] GOD OF WAR (SONY COMPUTER ENT.) - 12,350 / 216,350 (-35%)
So continuing on Özgür chart from last week it should be like this, right? quite impressive. This's likely the last time the game is going to take the 1st spot for a while but 5 weeks is quite impressive.

So with 5% increase this week, looks like GOW sold almost 13k this week.

 

[Saint-14]

Beyond: Two Souls did a million WW in 3 months by the way.

That doesn’t sound good, was it profitable?

 

[Loudninja]

Do we know ltd numbers?

No Idea 4 years ago it was over 1.5 million.

 

[IIFloodyII]

That doesn’t sound good, was it profitable?

Yeah, Cage has said all their games have been profitable. They are relatively low budget as far as AAA games go.

 

[Ruslnis]

I remember the article about Detroit having 30m budget. Not 100% sure

 

[OG_Thrills]

I'm in the UK and I bought Detroit digitally. 30K + at retail to me means it sold at least 50K total including digital. My guess is world wide this game will break a million in it's first month with ease.

 

[Primethius]

Detroit's numbers in a vacuum are good

But yea, once you invoke that comparison with older titles, it hasn't done well. Coming in lower than The Last Guardian?

Oof.

 

[Raijinto]

Never really got the impression that any of the new entries this week would be great sellers so the result doesn't surprise me. And it's saying something that this will probably be the most 'active' week so to speak for quite a while. Can't really think of the next big 'AAA' release.

 

[silva1991]

I was hoping it will do around 40k.

 

[IIFloodyII]

I remember the article about Detroit having 30m budget. Not 100% sure

Yeah, you're right, though that's without marketing most likely.
Here's the thread: https://www.resetera.com/threads/he...ome-human-dev-budget-about-€30-million.17001/
Cage talking about his games being profitable too: https://wccftech.com/david-cage-sony-remarkable-single-player/

So probably around 50-60m mark. That's not much I guess. Probably will be profitable in a year

 

[KrigareN-]

Those are disappointing numbers, and I don't expect Detroid to have the usual 70:30 split either.

Wrong thread!
