Video Game Sales Thread

Benji saying Pokémon is doing well, gave a nice boost to switch. Also Spidey PS4 might not make it to black Friday.

Let's Go sales are very positive according to MatP

Why is twitch viewership so high?

Twitch is a weird one, I guess it's the Go crowd interested in the game, checking out what it's like.

Spidey PS4 also went crazy and is now sold out. Benji says it'll be sold out everywhere by tomorrow, and that's with much more stock than last year's $199 bundle. Madness.

[Kerotan]

It will be a tragedy if Sony can't supply the spidey bundle until December.

Yeah I'm hoping they'll resupply it, just the cod bundle would be crud.

Yeah, if Sony supply enough they could make it to 2M but I don't think they will. Xbox should have a good month as well.

Yeah, I was talking to Benji and it seems Switch had a "fudgy insane" week last week and it's up by a shitload compared to last year's November pre Black Friday.

I saw that yeah. Should be way up over the 760k it did last year. May even double that if it has a good BF. Sounds like Pokémon is shifting a lot of units. As I kind of suspected, it's preorders were weak but lots of people are buying switches for it now it's on the shelves.

[Xevross]

Despite stock issues and unfulfilled pre-orders, Let's Go only debuted 5% down from X/Y in the UK, which is a much better performance than I was expecting. That's also 60% down from Sun/Moon, but those sold extremely well even for pokemon and were on a big install base. With digital included this will be a much bigger launch than X/Y. This is also almost double Ultra Sun and Moon.

Very good performance for what's technically a remake. 120k is the number, by the way.

Fallout 76 is down 82% from Fallout 4, not surprising. Spyro had a great launch, only a bit behind pokemon combined. 75% for PS4 on Spyro.

[BananaKing]

dang fallout 76 did not do good.

How much did red dead do?

[Xevross]

dang fallout 76 did not do good.

How much did red dead do?

Fallout launched with 85k, so red dead did between that and 116k.

[Week 43, 2018] 01 (NE) RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 (TAKE 2) ~ 550,000 / NEW
[Week 44, 2018] 01 (01) RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 (TAKE 2) ~ 270,000 / 820,000 (-51%)
[Week 45, 2018] 01 (01) RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 (TAKE 2) ~ 127,000 / 947,000 (-53%)

So the drop is less than 34% this week, which is very good. Probably going to increase next week for BF.
