DS3 digital sales in Japan were really good.

Based on?

DS3 digital sales in Japan were really good.

I know but they still only put it on par with the other DS games. There wasn't considerable growth as we see here.

Based on?

Click.

 

[Acquiescence]

Click.

Thank you. That's quite the impressive number for PSN-only in Japan. Seems like the digital side of things picked up the slack over there.

 

[Primethius]

Bah, I had posted in the other thread instead. Using Scholar as a ratio base for the split I'm DS3 was always going to be flawed. It released shortly after BB on PS4 and still performed better on PS4.

^ Regarding the DSIII splits posted earlier.

WOW! QB doing numbers in EU.

 

[Hasney]

WOW! QB doing numbers in EU.

We don't know many numbers bar the UK and sales here were not good. Number 1 is fairly meaningless at this point without numbers and with UK being the best market for XB1 in Europe, I wouldn't say that it looks great for anywhere else.

Would love to be wrong though. Adore the game.

 

[Hamster Plugin]

I'd love to see Finnish charts but there are none available. Quantum Break is a Finnish game so it should see higher sales than Xbox One games usually do, but now we can't tell.

PS3 was more popular here last gen (however, it took a PS3 price drop from an insane 660€ for it to take over) so it's no surprise that PS4 is still dominant.

 

[tattooed_dwarf]

This bodes well for future japanese games.

FFXV will easily manage to get a 80/20 split.

Edit: I wonder if Bandai has the balls to make a Dark Souls without From Software.

You mean that big split is what's good for japanese games? That's weird line of thinking.

I know that Uncharted 4 will be in PAL 19, but that game holding top 10 on Amazon.co.uk for weeks now. Launch will be huge.

And PSVR is outpacing it for the year.

Seriously though, it's the highest place pre order on the 2016 chart. Surely must have been cheaper than the £46 they now want at some point.

Exactly when one XBO exclusive title is defeating the entire game library of PS4. Imagine what few more exclusives on XBO can do to PS4 games?

[Bruno MB]

But the LTD was 290k as of week 10?

Yes, it is not he first time there are contradictions in the total sales figures for some titles. For example Mario & Sonic: Rio 2016 Olympic Games LTD seems too high because apparently debuted in week 14 selling at most 3,500 units.

When he gave Dark Souls III sales number he said that 18,000 was including all PS4 SKU's.

Do you have my country aka Portugal? Would love to see.

 

[Bruno MB]

Second week drop average for Souls games is around 60 - 62%, probably Dark Souls III will have a bigger drop because of its Tuesday release and greater opening sales. This means that around 25,000 units might be enough for Ratchet & Clank to claim top spot.

I don't have figures for previous entries because all had modest first week sales and were release too long ago. The Chart-Track PR note will probably tell us that this new release has had the biggest opening in the series.

Ratchet & Clank were leggy titles and all mainline games surpassed 100,000 units.

LTD as of February 2010 from ELSPA Sales Awards:

PS2 RATCHET AND CLANK > 200,000
PS2 RATCHET AND CLANK 2 > 100,000
PS2 RATCHET AND CLANK 3 > 100,000
PSP RATCHET & CLANK: SIZE MATTERS > 100,000
PS3 RATCHET & CLANK: TOOLS OF DESTRUCTION > 100,000

Do you have my country aka Portugal? Would love to see.

No, these figures are taken from an Spanish video game radio program.

Dark Souls III PS4 has 2 SKU's and we don't know the combined total but since it is a value chart and Ratchet & Clank is cheaper it has likely done comfortably better in units.

Latest Charts.

Well done #RatchetAndClank @insomniacgames

A triumphant return for Sony & Insomniac - ‘Ratchet & Clank’ for PS4 hits No 1.

Sony and Insomniac make a triumphant return with a first outing on PS4 for ‘Ratchet & Clank’, the first in the series to debut at No1. The game debuts just a few days before the movie (UK release date is 29th April). The game series began back in week 45, 2002 on PS2 with ‘Ratchet and Clank’ having held the previous best week 1 for All Formats chart postion (No15). In terms of week 1 sales units the record was held by 2009’s PS3 ‘Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time’, but the current release beats this by a factor of 3. Bandai Namco’s ‘Dark Souls III’ drops to No2 after 1 week at the top (-80%) and EA climb 9 places to No3 with ‘Star Wars Battlefront’ (+177%) – of course this is also the week where ‘Star Wars The Force Awakens’ arrived on DVD/Blu-ray. Three other new releases make the Top 40 this week. The second is Nintendo’s WiiU ‘Star Fox Zero’ at No6, the third is Alternative’s ‘Rugby Challenge 3’ (No13) and the fourth is Konami’s ‘UEFA Euro 2016 Pro Evolution Soccer’ for PS3/PS4 (No23). Konami’s ‘Pro Evolution Soccer 2016’ also makes a reappearance in this chart at No26.

Souls Series, second week comparison:

[Week 41, 2011] DARK SOULS (BANDAI NAMCO GAMES) ~ 14,000 / 48,000 (-58%)
[Week 12, 2014] DARK SOULS II (BANDAI NAMCO GAMES) ~ 12,000 / 52,000 (-71%)
[Week 14, 2015] BLOODBORNE (SONY COMPUTER ENT.) - 19,000 / 62,000 (-55%)
[Week 16, 2016] DARK SOULS III (BANDAI NAMCO ENTERTAINMENT) ~ 13,000 / 78,000 (-80%)

I took the average between the ranges we had to calculate first week sales.

 

[Conduit]

Dark Souls III PS4 has 2 SKU's and we don't know the combined total but since it is a value chart and Ratchet & Clank is cheaper it has likely done comfortably better in units.

Latest Charts.

Well done #RatchetAndClank @insomniacgames

1. Ratchet & Clank
2. Dark Souls III
3. Battlefront
4. The Division
5. Star Fox

2 days of tracking if retailers didn't break street date.

Nice for Ratchet. Really good sales with only 2 days of tracking. Where is Sony's PR like MS did for QB?

It's Insomiacs' game.

Best selling old IP by external studio?

 

[Rymuth]

First party IP, though. Exact same situation as QB.

That also happens to be a movie tie in.

They don't tend to do the spin numbers as much as MS though. They tend to do PR when there is a reason to rather than find a convoluted reason.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Very good for Ratchet by the sounds. Helped of course by a budget price.

Big drop of DSIII

Big drop of DSIII

Tuesday release for a game that has a very motivated fanbase. I wouldn't have been shocked if it was higher as I expected most people that were interested in it to buy it immediately.

I was thinking what other old IP made by external studio this gen...LBP3?

I know, I was going to write something similar like 'Sony lets their successes speak for themselves whilst MS over inflates everything to hell and back'

I was just replying to the poster who claimed it was only Insomniac's game.

36,000 is good numbers right?

 

[stryke]

It's UFC at no.5, not Starfox

Tsk, that's a shame.

I'd assume so, but the marketing budget at least in the UK seems pretty big. Depends how much the budget of the game was, but I assume charging a budget price means they didn't spend too much on it overall.

If the movie does anything at the box office, it might have some legs too.

 

[stryke]

Tsk, that's a shame.

Well, it's no.3 in Individual.

Good numbers for Rachet, great game.

I wonder how many sales were lost from the UK by people buying digitally from the US. I know three people including myself who have bought from Amazon US.
