I guess this is somewhat relevant judging by the last few pages on here.
There are a few more tweets from Chris, which I think relates to the top-selling in the European charts but I'm not sure if that was released yet.
This should be common sense.

He is talking about Week 26. Also, that confirmation was about the UK, not Europe.Is this talking about the current week (as in the one we do not have data for yet)? Because I thought tracking hasn't even finished yet
If it's talking about the week in the sales of this thread... didn't we already get confirmation that crash XB1 sold more than the switch sku?
Sorry i didn't explain properly
Still don't understand what you are asking, you're saying the reason why Xbox games don't chart at retail is because people mostly buy it digitally? And the reason why you think that is because new games chart in the top paid Xbox chart we get weekly?Sorry i didn't explain properly
i mean In Retailer i see Alot of PS4 and NES games
but in xbox Store i see new release there...
So this mean Xbox gamers are mostly Digital right?
I hope you're not confused this time XD
Are you asking if it is more common for Xbox games to be released digitally rather than physically?Sorry i didn't explain properly

yes that what i was mean thx for the explanation...Still don't understand what you are asking, you're saying the reason why Xbox games don't chart at retail is because people mostly buy it digitally?

If that's what you are asking then we won't know much till 2019 when digital is counted in the rankings
but I doubt the digital ratio is much bigger than PS4 that it would make a big difference.
no , i mean Is Xbox gamers Intending to buy Games Digitally rather than physically...?Are you asking if it is more common for Xbox games to be released digitally rather than physically?
This has nothing to do with June being bigger than May lol, it's simple as GOW released in April, so of course sales drop weeks after weeks.

So about the wording of this Tweet...
"Doesn't allow the sharing" means that they do receive the data of digital sales? (only from third parties I assume). I hope Nintendo decides to share everything soon, do we think it is possible or nay?

Wonder how well Crash will do in Europe overall. Maybe 500k+ lifetime?
So, maybe Wolf 2 sold better digitally.Nintendo doesn't share digital sales data and no publisher can share digital sales data of games published on Nintendo platforms.
Switch first party software continues to do extremely well in Europe, not to mention globally. The main difference being that Splatoon 2 ranks lower in Europe/NA than it does in Japan.
Even if it sells the same as what it sold physically it's still nothing noteworthy.
Why would Crash on Switch not include digital sales? The game is from Activision and not Nintendo.
Wow. Classy NintendoNintendo doesn't share digital sales data and no publisher can share digital sales data of games published on Nintendo platforms.

Am I correct in reading there that Splatoon 2 is kinda disappointing in Europe? I mean comparisons to Japan are obviously futile but if it is preforming notably worse than even NA then that is a shame.
Maybe the discount price of Splatoon on Wii U did them a bit of damage for the brand in the long run..?
Thanks for the details. It doesn't surprise me to have Splatoon 2 performing lower than the usual Nintendo suspects (and obviously compared to Japan), but being able to still chart in EU one year later without digital is a net positive. I bet it's a #10 in France ^^I'm not really sure tbh. I haven't looked into it myself. But you are right that Europe is generally a bit weaker for Splatoon 2. But I usually lump it in with NA where it is also notably weaker than the more popular mainstay titles like Zelda, Mario Kart and Odyssey. When you look at the actual numbers you'll find that Zelda, Mario Kart and Odyssey usually sell within a certain range each month whereas Splatoon 2 is notably lower. Not significantly so though. After all it is still a top seller on Switch.
The people want more Crash. Give the people what they want."Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy on Switch was the No.1 best-selling boxed game last week across EMEA."
See above, to all the people that said Crash shouldn't come back.
The Crash Bandicoot thirst is real. Kudos to the Activision guy that went to the effort to show it could be ported to Switch. Please make sure Spyro comes too.

We still don't have any numbers for it.Remember when people were splitting the hair talking about FIFA performance on Switch last year?

No one is saying there isn't an audience, people however before release were arguing about how it will end huge, I don't see anything pointing at that.EA said they were satisfied with the sales of the game. More importantly, the game does have legs and in Europe is selling not-so-far from Xbox One version. It shows that there is an audience for the game on Switch too.

Thats exactly what people were arguing because it sold like 1% of what the PS4/Xbox version sold at launch. People used it quick as confirmation that EA was right to not bother with further Fifa games on the Switch or EA titles in general.No one is saying there isn't an audience, people however before release were arguing about how it will end huge, I don't see anything pointing at that.

Meanwhile some of us tried to explain why the first week numbers wouldnt nearly be as important as the weekly sales and legs on a still very young plattform. The game didnt even let you play with your friends online - at least with 19 we know that there are some mayor improvements coming so they are willing to let Fifa on Switch grow.
Or it sold less than 500k, we don't really have anything to rely on.It most likely sold over 1m WW.
Unless you can name me 4 other credible titles with a retail presence that sold 1m the last fiscal year (April 17-March 18).
why in gods name would Nintendo not allow digital sales numbers to be shared?

Why do they use digital numbers when reporting their games sales then? There is value to it for sure.
They have really low digital rates... so they're embarassed to share them :Pwhy in gods name would Nintendo not allow digital sales numbers to be shared?

Fair enough.We have numbers for Japan (~120k) and they expected to sell about 150k copies in France with the WC (73k copies at the end of 2017).
Now these are only two regions and retail only. The game has been on sale for 20€ for a while now and is also topping the eshop charts regularly.
We know about games that sold >700k like Fire Emblem Warriors and FIFA has been outcharting the game everywhere.
So yeah we dont know directly but with comparisons there is little doubt left.
Sharing digital can't really have a negative effect on them as it will help their games chart higher.They control the message that way. They lose that giving it publicly.
