Nintendo thinks their games are gold which will not lose its value over the time, so they will not allow price drops like other publishers to retailers and they will keep selling close to full price even after years.

In fairness, some of their games drop in price. I'm fairly certain some of their weaker efforts this year will soon come down in price. Stuff like Mario tennis, chino robo, triforce heroes, maybe even Amiibo festival since I doubt those games sold well in the uk. Gotta clear the shelves somehow

Is he looking for Rise of the Tomb Raider's sales?

 

[Loudninja]

Always loved the Knack gifs lol.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

Mario still scared!

Your god is coming back to life gaf!

/dead

 

[crinale]

Was Knack bundled?

 

[Raist]

Was Knack bundled?

Err, no.

 

[c0de]

Was Knack bundled?

Probably not officially but perhaps a pack-in game by retailers.

 

[Hasney]

Was Knack bundled?

Yes, but seemingly only in Game which kinda shows how much of the market they have even with usually shitty prices and practices.

 

[Ninja Sharingan]

Yes, but seemingly only in Game which kinda shows how much of the market they have even with usually shitty prices and practices.

Yeh It sucks but i guess its the goto place for mums and dads. Uncharted bundle was putting in work everywhere!! Great results! good move by sony. Increase that Hype for 4

I walked by the one near work on Friday, there was a queue out of the door...

People will never stop shopping at GAME. It's just never going to happen.

14(08)XBO RISE OF THE TOMB RAIDER(SQUARE ENIX EUROPE)

 

[dolemite]

super strong hardware numbers from XBone+PS4. XBone must've crossed the 2 mil. mark awhile ago and we missed it.

 

[madmackem]

It has a special edition bundle but thats got a premium price and I doubt it accounted for the rise much, its just had some price drops I think, its been in the odd bundle but nothing widespread (like Fifa has).

It's been in most bundles.

LOL

 

[xrnzaaas]

Yep, Bundle Week.

[Rymuth]

Dear god, the original gif is gonna get sooo~oo much use gotten out of it when all's said and done.

 

[Mokubba]

LOL at that gif.

Hopefully we get some splits numbers for the hardware.

 

[viHuGi]

LOL at that gif.

Hopefully we get some splits numbers for the hardware.

i guess 150k for both.

 

[ethomaz]

i guess 150k for both.

That is a good guess but 150k could be put Xbone over 2m and we didn't get that news yet.

 

[Jumeira]

That is a good guess but 150k could be put Xbone over 2m and we didn't get that news yet.

That doesnt mean it hasnt already, also didn't MS say they are not reporting numbers anymore?

 

[Conduit]

Question is will MS said something about it. Well, PS4 surpassed that mark in May IIRC.

 

[noobie]

We got couple of leakers in PAL thread couple of weeks ago? where have they vanished?

 

[Maintenance]

Read the first page and y'all fell for noobie's bait.

 

[nib95]

If the price is right, your shit will sell. We had some very healthy deals this year. Bit depressed Fifa is at the top though, but even that had some really good deals and bundles. Presumably Uncharted selling so well means the bundle did really well.

 

[ethomaz]

It is not MS.

GFK itself shares milestones.

 

[nephilimdj]

Tomb raider doing pretty good in Australia, and no Halo

 

[Raist]

GfK does it, usually it's reported by MCV (I think?).
Although to which extent MS can stop them from doing that, I don't know.

 

[Steverulez]

It's been in most bundles.

It hasn't. Its certainly been in some, but "most" is an exaggeration.

Its been priced dropped too which has helped.

 

[Raist]

Speaking of MCV:

Total SW sales near 1.8M units, 74% of that was PS4/XB1 games (46% last year).
Down 9% YoY though.

I did asked to MCV if they know about Xbone crossing 2m.

Hmm still no chart.

315,000 games consoles were sold during the Black Friday week.

UK retailers told MCV that it was PS4 that was the best-selling machine, with around 139,000 consoles sold. But it was very close between Sony and Microsoft, with Xbox One shifting almost 134,000 units.

Wow, that close huh? There's a couple of ways you can spin those numbers. You can say that it's good for Sony because they had no big exclusives for the holiday season and had to rely on third-party partnerships, but you can also say it's good for Microsoft because it suggests the UK is a more level playing field between the two than some of us were led to believe.

...This is quite lower than what we had by calculating from last year's numbers. I suppose GFK readjusted last year ones, then?

Only 2000 more and we could have said 7k-10k difference

Wow.. PS4 no more 1.3:1 to XB One.. wish we can get life time sales in UK..

 

[Guymelef]

Wow.. PS4 no more 1.3:1 to XB One.. wish we can get life time sales in UK..

WOW so much for this.

comparing this to below


So PS4 sold atleast around 100k?
and XBO sold atmost 198k?

Please, continue with your sales analysis, for the laughs.

 

[Mokubba]

Neck and Neck between the two.

Were the bundles and deals similar between the 2 for black Friday and should we expect similar in the run up to Christmas?

 

[Conduit]

Wow.. PS4 no more 1.3:1 to XB One.. wish we can get life time sales in UK..

Difference is 5k in PS4 favor and your conclusion is that overall sales are 1.3:1 throughout the whole year just because of that 1 day? Dude, PS4 had surpass 2 mil. mark in May. Xbone.... hit 2 mil. mark this month i guess. That's a...what...a 6 months after PS4's 2 mil. announcement.

 

[Paganmoon]

Difference is 5k in PS4 favor and your conclusion is that overall sales are 1.3:1 throughout the whole year just because of that 1 day?

Those sales were tracked for the whole week though.

 

[bryanee]

I kind of figured they would do around the same numbers during the sales. They were pretty much the same prices. You couldn't see an advert promoting the one without another store promoting the other.
