I know. I live in Europe. Still.... =/ Buy those JRPGs Europe!!!
JRPGs are basically niche in whole western world. Even in US only Pokemon and Final Fantasy pull comparable sales numbers to more popular genres.
GT SPORT is above 50K.
UK Week 48, 2017
01 (01) CALL OF DUTY: WWII (ACTIVISION) - 149,280 / 1,342,280 [-40%]
02 (02) FIFA 18 (EA SPORTS) - 121,030 / 1,763,930 [-30%]
03 (03) GRAN TURISMO: SPORT (SONY COMPUTER ENT.)
04 (04) STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT II (EA GAMES) - 49,647 / 253,747 [-33%]
05 (05) ASSASSIN'S CREED ORIGINS (UBISOFT)
06 (08) SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY (NINTENDO)
07 (06) FORZA MOTORSPORT 7 (MICROSOFT)
08 (19) MARIO KART 8 DELUXE (NINTENDO)
09 (17) GRAND THEFT AUTO V (ROCKSTAR)
10 (16) CRASH BANDICOOT N.SANE TRILOGY(ACTIVISION)
And Xenoblade Chronicles X ALSO did better than the first Xenoblade, at more than 10k at launch. That's just how it be.
Game is selling a lot and continues to stay high in the revenue chart, but at least a few people have to bring up that 'it's only selling well because it's heavily discounted' every week to downplay sales. It's really pathetic.

Based on performances of other non-Final Fantasy/Pokemon JRPG and based on performances of previous Xenoblade titles, you shouldn't really have expected any better than this (imo)
F . L . O . P .
I'm not going to lie. Reading the "GT sport is a flop/downplaying" is part of the reason why I anticipate these threads. It's comedic gold at this point. I'm expecting it to continue into January at least.
Hmm sorry, I haven't seen any hardware numbers for week 48. It's also just a rare occurrence that we do get any for the UK.
N Sane collection is a great deal. It doesn't surprise me that it's been so strong. (Maybe I just have a soft spot for Crash though. I loved those games as a kid)
I expect Odyssey to climb over 250k by the time the holidays end. Maybe a bit more. Outpacnig crash will be hard though. Legs are too strong and the PS4 is by far the most dominant system in the UK.
How many of these games are huge franchises as GT is? And how many of these games got a price cut 2-3 weeks after launch as big as GT Sport got?
GT Sport is selling really well now but trying to spin it as if the game reached status quo without the heavy price cut is equally as funny.
Yep I know it's not really something we see week-to-week anywhere. Shoot I wish we got weekly game charts here in the States but will have to settle for monthly.
Plus I expect it just followed the trend of falling off on sales after Black Friday so maybe nothing to learn from it. Here I am hoping for more data than we actually get :-)
I don't see much people trying to spin it unless people saying it not a bomb is spin .
Yes it get a price cut and now that is helping it sell very well.
What? GTS has not microtransaction but it will have paid DLC...;)
Well the Switch isn't that old and isn't exaclty swimming in games, so I hoped for more. Guess Japan will bail them out. I'm still betting on >200k in 2017.
Wait for the Media Create thread =)
XCX2 result is alright. An improvement over the past games is good.
GTS is going on a tear. Depending on how PD handles the SP, it could have a really long tail.

UK market is just very weak for Switch titles that aren't Mario/Zelda. Arms debuted to similar numbers.
I paid full price on psn and I have been enjoying the game ever since
They had no other choice, it would have bombed otherwise. It quickly became apparent to consumers that it wasn't a full-price title with the drastically reduced game content.
Anyone surprised? Xbox problem was never the power but the brand perception on EU, console is non existent here.
Some retailers here in PT have already dropped it out of shelves.
Wait that story that switch owners will buy games simply to have something to play isn't true. Never.
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying it's a bomb but I have seen people actually saying GT Sport is a "big success" and it's "killing it" in Europe. Let's just say it's performing well. :)
Xenoblade X was 10.5k at launch, so XB2 selling a third better than that should place it around at least 14k.
Just wondering how you came that conclusion Noobie, not that disagree but do we have numbers to back your assertion.
Kl, no worries

It's a big game, it's good and the console launched a few months ago. So I 'hoped' for more. Way more.
Probably around the expected amount for JRPG's not named Final Fantasy.
Approaching number 1 PS4 exclusive in a year with Uncharted LL, Horizon, and Crash is a bit better than well, and its made more money in last week than stuff like Star Wars Battlefront II on PS4, FIFA 18 on Xbox One or Super Mario Odyssey on Switch, to give some examples.
It underperformed compared to past mainline games (bar GT6) but its selling very well now.
Why would they regret getting number 4 highest individual game SKU revenue for the past two weeks?

You should look forward to the MC in a couple of days and the Dec NPD then as it's showing some real potential around US and Japan, which are its major markets to begin with.
As a JRPG on a tiny install-base in the UK, it really did as well as it could.
