Nice, though PS4 version of Fifa still dominating as expected. Switch version also has to compete with the PS4 Fifa bundle which I expect gets a lot of sales each week here

In terms of hardware numbers, the UK is the second biggest market for Switch in Europe and the fourth-biggest worldwide. The system and the first party software are doing well in the UK.
FH3 is bundled with near enough every XB1 sold in the UK. Based on the odd numbers we have, lifetime will be around the 200k+ mark. FM7 is around 100k, GT Sport about 400k.
Oh I always thought it would be a success, especially here.
But after the annoucement and in the run up to launch many posters (well I suppose not on Reset Era) were quite vocal regarding their view that nobody gave a damn about Crash anymore.
Yes, I know. What I meant was in terms of relative numbers. As far as I remember, in UK Switch is not doing as well as in Germany or Spain considering the size of the market and how much the competitors are selling.
I don't know. I haven't seen many people stating that. Even then, they were wrong to being with. Crash was huge in Europe and banking on nostalgia has always worked recently.
Bayonetta was sold out on Amazon UK for at a day or two before launch day and on release day so probably could have done better with more stock there
Worth noting germany is noticeably bigger than the UK population wise and switch is selling better here than there
Also worth noting that unlike almost any other country the UK has the xbone taking a noticeble chunk of the market
Really? Btw, even Activision was surprised by Crash performance.
Fifa NS is already ahead of the XBO? Thats a surprise at least for me.
Population doesn't mean much. You must look at potential customerbase and as far as I remember UK is still a bigger market than Germany (even if they might be very close).
There's a middle ground between "no one wants a Crash game" and "the game is breaking records".
Yeah this is just for this week and considering most retailers had the Switch SKU discounted since last Monday/Tuesday I was expecting it to be above the Xbox One SKU.
What numbers do we have for GTS, FM7 and FH3 in the UK?
And also, are we calling FH3 a system seller then as Im pretty sure GTS and FM7 have bundles as well.
Anyone got any back of a fag packet maths for what fifa switch is at now? I'd guess over 50k at least but that's out of my ass
FH3 is the only console bundle available on Xbox in the UK so you're right and I'm wrong lol.
I don't think we will find out until someone leaks the number or gives a hint at least.
FH3 sold well over 300K in 2017 alone.
For LTD you need to add the launch year 2016, too.
FM7 sold 200k+ in in 2017 and GTS is more about 500k.
It's the most popular and cheapest bundle available almost everywhere. The top 3 Xbox One SKUs in terms of popularity at Game include Forza Horizon 3, the other being the Xbox One X. Its the best selling Xbox One bundle on Amazon.co.uk and Tesco. It dominates HotUKDeals Xbox One listings, etc etc. Add to that the fact that GfK have outright stated on numerous weeks that its long lasting performance is due to being heavily bundled.

You know you don't have to post this every single week or every single time a PS4 version sells better than the Xbox One version. It's an obvious statement.
It's getting a bit annoying at this point. Comment on something else.
Hmmmm. So do you mean that people who are buying into the eco system are also choosing to make FH3 the game they want to bundle - a system seller some might say or does Xbox just need to get more bundles out there on the market cause theres not enough choice?
I wouldn't know in all honesty, I will say that it is probably the best game to start your Xbox One library off with.
We'd probably be able to get a better idea of the series engagement and its growth from the performance of the next entry, but then Game Pass happened lol.
Bundles, otherwise it would have disappeared from charts long time ago.
To give context to overall Fifa sales numbers: there are >60K players online in seasons on Switch, vs >3M on PS4. Switch seasons players = 2% of how many they are on PS4.
I guess the figure could change to 3-5% in coming months, and EA is ok with such a growth for its franchise.
I believe they can double it next year with a bigger Switch install base, and a more feature complete Fifa version.
Online with friends is a must.

I think the thing to remember for FIFA on Switch is that most sales are just growth for the franchise, and this is a version I can see quite a few double dippers for. If they work on making the future versions more feature parity then I think the growth will just keep going.
No excuse but this feels like a game that people would rather pick up digitally assuming you can it get cheap on PSN too.
Not surprised at SOTC drop really. It's essentially a re-release of a game that's already had two releases - despite the remake element this time around - and thus I'd expect it to be front loaded first week then drop fairly quickly to low level sales, particularly at retail.
France Week 6:
1 Shadow of the Colossus PS4
2 Dragon Ball FighterZ PS4
3 Monster Hunter World PS4

It has gone up to full price after Black Friday and hasn't been discounted ever since iirc. Someone correct me if I am wrong here.
It's only one week and the NS version is £10 cheaper.
EA Access must have a huge impact there though. FIFA 17 is obviously already on there and we know FIFA 18 will be on there in April at the latest, as a result I haven't bought it this time around.
Ad said in the Media Create thread, i wasn't expecting a good debut in UK for Bayonetta 2, but outselling the Wii U version is a good sign. Should easy have better legs.
I really want to see France, Spain and USA sales, feel like the game did very good there.

Mario Kart at full price continues to laugh in the face of all the discounted and packed-in racing games.
It didn't outsell the Wii U version:
Still a decent performace imo.
