Edit: below info is about Games sales only, not console hardware.

ANGI have released the yearly Nordic Game Sales report, lots of numbers, but no data on sales per game.

http://angi-nordic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Nordic-Game-Sales-2015.pdf

Interesting to note though, retail sales are starting to stabilize after several years of decline, only 8.6% decline from last year, compared to 26% for 2014.
The lions share of both revenue and volume at retail being Console, with PS4 accounting for about 42% of all revenue, and PC less than 10% (rest are different types of consoles)

Sweden's retail sales by volume for 2015 (2 915 308) has declined by almost half vs 2009 (5 619 613), but only by 2% vs 2014 (2 985 133)
Sweden's retail sales by revenue actually increased vs 2014 (by all of 0.6%).

Another interesting note, Dataspelsbranschen (Sweden) released a report on Digital Sales for 2013-2015, and in the console space alone Digital Sales increased by 47% vs 2014. This is a bit of a slow down vs the increase 2013 vs 2014 (97%), but in actual revenue the increase is steady.

So it seems, for now that retail might stop shrinking, or at least slow down, but digital is still growing, so the gaming market seems healthy still.

Addition: Total Swedish retail market was worth 115 million Euro in 2015, about 100 million Euros being from the Console retail market alone. Total Swedish digital console market was 39 million Euro. So total console market at about 139 million Euro, meaning about 28% of the revenue in Sweden, for consoles came from digital sales. Not too bad really.
Digital sales includes games and DLC, so this does not mean there's a 3 to 1 sales ratio between retail games and digital games in Sweden, but still a good indication of the ratio.

Edit3: The more I check the numbers, the more little things I find. Pretty eye opening that the full digital market games market is almost 3 times as big as the retail market. The PC digital market alone is bigger than the full retail market (by about 70 million Euro, more than half of the retail market). Digital mobile games market is as big as the console retail market at about 100 million Euro. Fucking insane, and eye opening really.
 
One thing about Ratchet & Clank being number 1 in France. As Ryng said, the SKU of Dark Souls PS4 are separated, but on the other hand the french ranking is sorted by value, not by units, wich means Ratchet & Clank is even more impressive to be #1 with a 39,99 € price tag vs a 69,99 € price tag for Dark Souls III o_O

Roughly the same SW sales for Wii and WiiU. Jeez.

Also no Bloodborne anywhere. Nordic folks confirmed casuals.

Another congratulations to Ratchet & Clank! Not sure what the legs will be, but given the reception to the game, I can see future promotions (discounts, bundles etc.) keeping the game alive in the charts.

Just saw multiple Battleborn ads on BT Sport for 1st time.
Makes it look fucking awful. An incoherent mess with childish cartoon characters.
Don't expect it to do well unless reviews are exceptional.

Yeah, totally different tone than the adverts for the beta. They're not Quantum Break bad, but they're pretty bad.

wow. i so wanted to see how much R&C dropped after the film release.

The film basically didn't exist here. It was shown on one day in about 5 different cinemas throughout the country without a single advert. Most newspapers didn't even both reviewing it.

Any drop will have absolutely 0 to do with the movie, no matter how big or small.

The movie seems to be getting released in a lot more cinemas starting today, seems strange as the movie release date was last week. My local Cineworld (Dundee) has 6 showings today and times listed for the rest of the week, other Scottish cinemas are showing the same.

You think the film will affect the Game's sales in a negative way?

If anything, maybe the film will get a few additional viewers because of the game. (I would totally buy it on PSN for a few bucks as an extra to the game eventually). But the film influencing the game's sales? In this state I'd say no.

I am really dissapointed in how much they screwed up the film though, I honestly can't believe it is that bad but I guess I will witness it eventually.

Still, the execs at Sony and Insomniac surely notice the game is doing well, so the future of this franchise is safe and looking very bright. The next entry will be a full story on it's own, without parts of a film slapped onto it, I am sure.
 
those figures seems low for uncharted series with how well people talk about it.

surprising, even though sony was losing the battle here

You are awesome.

i expect that UC4 should do > 200k giving the hype i am sensing. But with the slowest time of the year and Sony 1st party exclusives never big on first week numbers i doubt it. But > 115000 should be definite.

Whats the highest Sony first party PS4 exclusive have done in UK? i doubt its > 100k..

Any PR about how awesome the game has done without the hard numbers, dont make it awesome in my eyes. If the sales have not given you enough confidences to boast about the sales numbers then surely those sales are not upto your expectations and they are not awesome either.

Why would they say that they are happy with the sales if they arent? This happen many times, people say that they are happy with sales, but dont give out hard numbers. I'm sure it has happen to indie games too.

My bet is that U4 will be >250k. I know that Amazon.co.uk is just a small portion of software sales, but U4 is in top 10 for more than a month. Now is at 1st place for almost a week and game isn't out yet.

250k on week 1 is hard to believe.

But that didn't happened, right? Just checked previous PAL threads. What Tim Dog tried?

It did... On the specific XBox One charts in Germany. Not the multiformat one.

Yeah, that was my point They are celebrating QB being the best selling game on Xbox One while being 25th overall. Might as well publish some official deceiving PR bit while they're at it. But I guess they already did it with the "best selling new Xbox IP" announcement.
 
Since everybody is only talking about R&C I think crow may be eaten by those on here who thought Star Fox Zero would sell like shit. Especially since that game is on a dead system, after all...

SF0 is selling way better than even I thought it would, which is good to see. Me thinks this will secure another entry now on the NX.
