Id say Anthem should be aiming at 100-120k with the marketing campaign they doing.

If it does 80k in the UK week one with high digital ratio it will have no problem selling according (and over) to EA's estimations: 5-6 million by the end of March. Destiny 1 and The Division are probably the best-selling shooters of all-time not counting BF and COD. D1 and Division are also the fastest-selling new IPs of all time along with Watch Dogs 1. No other loot shoother is gonna come close to those numbers in the UK. The Division 2 will also be around 100k, anybody expecting much bigger numbers will be dissapointed.

Even still that is an excellent start for NSMBUDX in Germany for 3 weeks.
Its probably over 2 Million worldwide now isn't it?

But Game Pass has proven on many occasions that it doesn't cannibalize traditional sales. Sea of Thieves sold good, Forza Horizon 4 sold great.
Literally what. Not even in japan did NSMBUDX come out on top in January. That's a massive shock to me that it wasn't handily beaten by KH3 and RE2
I mean there are 5 games featuring Mario in the Top 10 - Switch is very strong here and post Christmas they probably were a bunch of families/players looking for new content for their new consoles.
Super Mario party over Spiderman 😲. God damn France loves Nintendo products.
From the report,
FIFA 19:
945,190 on PS4
185,780 on Xbox One
156,854 on Switch
I wasn't expecting such numbers on switch!

Oh, that's quite a bit better than I'd expected. PS4 clearly is the main system, of course, but the Switch share isn't as bad as I'd thought: might even overtake the XB1 share in France.
Huh, that's interesting. Looks like putting FIFA on Switch was worth it.
Top 20 individual units for 2018 in France:
This one is tricky because some numbers (God of War and other) are lower than in the combined chart, probably because they are separating collectors editions and such.
CoD flopped big time at retail at France too. WWII did over a million in 2017.
How is that a flop ? CoD just isn't as big as in the US here - never will be.
Fifa on Switch was always popular in France, it's the other countries that are at issue with this.
What kind of narrative is that? I compared it to a CoD game that released the year before, not US sales. It sold half of what WWII did in FRANCE (at retail) and it released weeks earlier.
I mean look at what kind of games sell in France - they dropped a CoD without a story campaign and this last year had RDR2 in addition to God of War/Spiderman setting the tone in terms of AAA releases for "big boy" consoles.
In a post Fortnite world Activision must be crazy to expect similar numbers in France.
But with a Battle Royale mode. They probably expected that the Battle Royale mode would push this game massively (in fact, I doubt they expected it to go down this much considering the popularity of BR and the perceived (probably wrongly) notion that single player campaigns do not sell). A 40% drop in sales does not seem like the expected performance for this game. Competition is a factor, of course, but that still seems too much for COD to drop 40% purely due to that imo.
Do you think Activision removed SP and added a freakin BR mode in their biggest CoD franchise (Black Ops) and expected worse sales than WWII? They did not. Also I'm willing to bet that the sales have almost nothing to do with SP.
Another things they don't understand is Fortnite is free to play it helps, same for Apex Legends.

guess there was a deal or something.
ugh at jump force
Interested to see where Anthem lands in comparison to The Division and Destiny.
At retail? No, not really? No sold out notices or that much of a buzz at my Local Game store

Pretty normal, I'd say. It's a combination of it being a JRPG and it having been anticipated for more than a decade, which should frontload it even more. It had massive up-front sales, so the legs not being that good relative to that debut is not a big issue imo.
Horizon 4 was largely due to bundling though. Just like Horizon 3 always charted until they got rid of it's official bundle then it didn't chart every week anymore.
Damn that's like what 30-40k?
I understand digital is big but still though.
Edit: Looks like it is around 40k. That's horrible.
That sounds pretty poor, damn. With digital it would still be 15-20 percent, so definitely a lot worse. Reception was poor with the demo and the reviews, so it's not unexpected.
