Video Game Sales Thread

If it did sell more than Wii Sports that would mean switch sold at least 357k in Europe

Or didn't Wii sell 325k?thought I saw that somewhere

325k.

Switch indded sold more than 325k in Europe (UK + FR = 185k).

Zelda (All versions) > Wii Sports (325k) > Zelda Switch > Zelda Wii U

[Dr. Pezus]

Wii sold 325k.
And the 91% attach rate is France only.  

Oh right. France is a bit more nintendo and Japan centric than the rest of Europe so I'd expect the attach rate to be slightly lower overall, making switch sales even higher!

[Xevross]

Hmm so since they were counting all versions all we can say really is that Switch > 325k. Still pretty good.

[Mmm_fish_tacos]

Zelda's attach rate is ludicrous, albeit expected.  

Zelda is what made me crack and buy the system. Honesty there isnt another reason to own the system right now.

Horizon : Zero Dawn dépasse le lancement d'Uncharted 4 sur PS4 - Actualités - jeuxvideo.com says Horizon was the best launch on ps4, all games included.

Translated from French
"Sony tells us that HZD becomes the best launch of a new IP on PS4, a position previously occupied by NMS. It's also the best launch *period* on PS4, title previously owned by Uncharted 4"

Real?

I got from GAF the translation... if anybody else can watch the video.

Maybe it is only France too.

That's pretty hard to believe

I'm assuming they mean exclusives then because fifa and cod probably have had bigger launches than uc4

Yeah I'm assuming this too. I can believe it outsold uncharted 4. For all we know, it could have been super close in the UK

I see three potential answers here:

1. They are talking about 1st party releases and France only here, so Horizon launched stronger than Uncharted 4 in France
2. They have taken the news from the Eurogamer piece on Horizons UK launch and mistranslated that part about Uncharted 4
3. They are just completely bullshitting (admittedly not a very realistic possiblity, but I started this post by saying that there are three possibilities and now I'm too lazy to edit that out)

Personally I'd lean towards the first option.

Yeah I think one or two are equally as possible, since I don't know what they claim as their source. I hope its 2, that would be an amazing start for horizon.

I want sony to announce the worldwide sales figures already! I wonder how close it can get to the 2.7m Uncharted 4 managed in its first week

[ethomaz]

I believe Horizon sold more then U4 WW.

I checked and it took Sony almost 2 weeks to announce sales for Uncharted 4, so we might still have to wait for some Horizon PR.

they also decided to wait on TLoU and announce its sales after 3 weeks (3.6 million shipped after 3 weeks). so they might be waiting on a big number to announce. but i think we will certainly get some PR as the game seems to have done really well.

Yeah, I'd be shocked if we didn't get anything.
