Previous entries :
  • 97.5k - AC Origins
  • 72k - AC Odyssey

Black Ops CW : about 130k
-64% vs Modern Warfare (361.4k)
Digital probably offset the decline of physical
In fact, a statement from Activision Blizzard's EMEAA MD Anna Malmhake said that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War "set a new record as the highest first day digital sales worldwide in franchise history". We will see how the game performed digitally in the UK later in the week, but expect good numbers.

We'll know the full picture of the game's performance once the digital sales are in, but it's also worth noting the impact of Call of Duty: Warzone -- the hugely successful free-to-play game released in March this year.

Interesting to see such a big split in favour of the PS5 for Miles. Depending on when Horizon 2 comes out, the PS4 share for that game may be less than 5% on PS4

It's hilarious to me that the PS5 versions are doing numbers.

I think online stores shipped/sold them last week.

The thing I'm actually most surprised by is the low % of PS4 copies for those cross gen games.

Why they are counting xbox one and series together?

For most games they are the same SKU. There's no separate Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S versions of Assassin's Creed.

Wait what, isn't this a typo? You mean it released to:
  • Playstation 4
  • Playstation 5
  • Xbox One
  • Xbox Series X/S
  • Nintendo Switch
Yet 89% of the sales happened on Nintendo Switch?
If this isn't just a typo that is insane, especially on the UK market, where Nintendo is far less popular.
At this point they could just release it as a Switch exclusive with some added Nintendo songs for guaranteed record sales.

If Sony's cross-gen games already have such a heavy split in favor of the PS5 this soon, just imagine what the split will look like by the game a game like Horizon comes out.

Yakuza was expected tbh. Really bad timing for its release and I dunno why Sega did it.

January looks way more healthy for a game like it.

Until this week (because of new console launches) Nintendo has been pretty much dominating everywhere. I don't think the "Nintendo is far less popular in the UK" thinking works anymore IMO.

It's still impressive and absolutly not easy to do against CoD.

7 new games were released this past week and three of them are major blockbusters. Minor titles and Godfall never had a chance on top of having to deal with FIFA and Animal Crossing.

I honestly expected Sackboy and Godfall to flop but seeing Yakuza below both of them is insane to me, I thought it would have done far better than them.

Just Dance is basically a Nintendo franchise.

You mean Nintendo is at the same level of popularity in the UK than for example in the US or in Japan, so the other big console markets? I doubt it honestly. And even in that case getting 89% of the sales is still unbelievable. I assume it is a typo.

Same thing happened last gen too. The people that buy day one at full price are the first to move on.

Maybe you should look at historical splits of Just dance. It's always basically been a Nintendo franchise as far as sales. There was a brief time when X360 had a decent share of JD sales but those days are long gone.

Do we have a way of tracking digital sales, considering both consoles have a digital version these physical lists are somewhat lacking in determining an accurate picture as to what's going on.
