Huh, those FIFA and Battlefront splits are huge this week.

Huh, those FIFA and Battlefront splits are huge this week.
edit:
misread as ltd
I think when it was shown at E3 I predicted 3-4 million LTD for it. While a lot of other people were more in the 1-2 million range since the genre isn't big.
I'm feeling better week by week.

that game is holding extremely well. Much better than I thought.

Yeah, I think that's about 40% or so of first week sales, really good legs (did it have sales this week? I recall something like that).
That 3% is for this week, not for total sales. For the full sales, it's likely lower, although it's had a decent number of weeks at the 3% range already.
Should be close to 100k by now surely?
Also if Mario Kart 8D is around 24k~ then Mario Odyssey selling possibly 30k+?
The Switch doesn't have the userbase to push huge numbers. Therefore its split will look favorable with average selling games like Sonic or LA Noire but it can't with bigger titles like FIFA. FIFA PS4 sold about the same as SMO on its launch week !
Nonetheless it has legs, 3500 copies sold again this week, so at the end of the day it will sell horribly in comparison but decently overall.
I don't think EA will care much about the Switch when it comes to their big titles. It sold 53k maybe but I reckon not a lot of people are actually playing FUT on that version.
3% is for this week alone... ~3.5k sold.
It is probably way below 53k lifetime.
So since it seems FiFA 18 PS4 did similar to Odyssey's launch week Possibly, then that puts it around 121k? Then breaking it down around 3.5k for Switch and 360 version?
I'm just estimating of course. Then with around an average of 2k a week after a 8k launch.
Should be around the range of 30-40k if my estimates serve me well?

For what it's worth the FUT transfer market for Switch it's around 10% or the how it is on PC from a size point of view. And it increased quite a bit during the Black Friday rush which means the FUT players on Switch are pretty much as active as everywhere else.
I guess Sony is happy with lower margins due to discounted prices.
It doesn't. But it's part of the picture. The comparison with Prey doesn't make sense at all. GTS is advertised by Sony and belongs to one of the biggest franchises in gaming history.
FIFA did about 121k total this week:
Switch should be about 3,600, and XB360 should be about 2,400 units.
oh, I thought the chart was ltd for some reason.
will edit.
It has been at 3% for a while now, but 1% the first, week, so it's likely a good amount lower than 53k
As i did start this last week, i'll continue now.
Forza Motorsport 7 retail sales in the UK:
Week 40: 25k< X <33k
Week 41: 9k< X <12k (64% WoW drop)
Week 42:
Week 43:
Week 44: 8k< X <13k
Week 45: 12k< X <19.5K (50% WoW increase)
Week 46: >10.5k
Week 47: >45k (332% WoW increase)
Week 48: <34k
So Forza 7 sold already above 150k units in total.
I see if we have enough data for GTS and can do that, too

Couple that with Switch's paid online services not implemented yet it would like cause the number using FUT to decrease. Less playing means likely to be able to monetise it.
But it is big because there is demand. Price unlocks that demand but it doesn't always, which is the point of the comparison. It is never that simple as to drop price (or compress margin) and watch sales improve.
Would love FH3 number too (sorry for being cheeky here).
Im assuming its perhaps the best selling racer this gen in Uk?
FIFA Switch sales:
Week 39: ~8,300 (1% of 830,000)
Week 40: ~2,500
Week 41: ~2,320
Week 42: ~1,910
Week 43: ~1,700
Week 44: ~1,410
Week 45: >1,410 (no explicit new sales number, but up from previous week)
Week 46: no numbers
Week 47: no numbers
Week 48: ~3,600
The numbers we know add up to 23k, but that's a highly erroneous number, since it is missing two weeks, and it doesn't take the error margins of the percentages into account (1% means anything from 0,51% to 1,49%). So, don't run with this number, but pour salt onto it instead. That said, I think FIFA Switch might be at or close to 30k right now, definitely over with digital added, of course.

The fact that a price drop per se is not enough to trigger demand seems a pretty obvious and established fact. The point is, GT is selling because of a price drop, which is worrying given the status of the franchise and how recent the game is.

Sorry, there is not enough data to do that.
But if you don't mind to wait until years end, we get a full year chart and see where Forza Horizon 3 charted and performed this year.
Should easily outsell Forza Motorsport 7 this year and could even beat GTS...

GTS showing us how to really bomb.
Crash still in the top 10. Just lovely.

The absolute truth. I'd be willing to extend it to E3 2018 but no longer than that.
Wasn't 27k in launch week? As Eurogamer stated: GTS outsold FM 7 in almost 3:1 ratio in launch week.

Actually looking at it now Rayman Legends must have done very well in the UK out of all its platform releases.
I believe it is also bundled, at least at GAME, so that causes some of the legs you see.

It caters really well to the audience on Nintendo platforms, just like Mario+Rabbids, Just Dance, Sonic, and the Lego titles. These titles have traditionally always done relatively well on Nintendo platforms despite the "3rd parties don't sell on Nintendo systems" myth.
Very promising results for FIFA on Switch. It has a shot at selling over 500k ww untill the next installment. I dont think any other FIFA performed this well on a Nintendo system which means the Switch is reaching to a broader audience then the typical family oriented market.
I know in my case, i bought this and Odyssey as a Christmas present to myself. I've got friends as well who are looking to buy it before Christmas after picking up Switch consoles in Black Friday.
I reckon the surge of Switch games is people getting them now that their Black Friday purchases have been shipped to them and they want more.
If the game had bombed, Sony would have released a proper GT 7 a year or two later. But since consumers rewarded this half-assed effort, they have no motivation to make a proper GT title now.
Skyrim duking it out with the Lego Ninjago Movie game. Who saw that coming?
Man, GT Sport really hurt you. Until now you only talked about how the game is shitty and undeserving of any success.
Why don't you create a thread about how Sony/Polyphony shattered your dreams? I'm sure you'll find lots of users that agree with you.
We should be discussing sales in here, not how much we hate a particular game.
Half assed?
Just because it's a game with a multiplayer/online focus it doesn't make it half assed. I will be the first to admit that it could do with more tracks and cars but what is there is the best stuff PD have ever made. It's fantastic and there's a level of polish that we haven't seen from them in over a decade.
And no, if the game had bombed then it's more realistic that it would be the end of the line for the franchise or cut funding for any future iterations.
The selfish attitude of "it needs to be exactly what I want or it should fail" needs to end. Your favourite developers will try something new/different from time to time and you should want them to be successful in their endeavours. Why? Because it means there's more chance they will make another game that caters to your tastes.
