Did PCARS 2 sell more or less than PCARS 1?

Down 74% compared to Project Cars 1. As always it's a physical sales comparison only, nothing about potential digital rise.

Week on week changes:

Destiny 2 (-47%)
NBA 2K18 (-40%)
PES 2018 (-62%)
Rayman Legends Definitive (-59%)
Metroid Samus Returns (-85%)

Resident Evil 7 (+152%)

Writing was on the wall for MVCI sales after seeing it not be on Amazon's best sellers or yearly list in any form.

As with SFV, gameplay is good but the presentation and roster killed them and once people jumped on the "mobile game" bandwagon, it was curtains.

I doubt it would reach it's sales targets but it could have a slow burn and make money off the E-sports side of things.

It took a long while for people to acknowledge it's good game play after all the things the game didn't have going for it so it may have a chance but I doubt it.

Should have released it on WiiU as well.

Remember when people thought Marvel would outsell Injustice 2 because everyone loves Marvel movies? Good times.

then capcom released the demo and trailer and our young minds were fried...

Back to playing UMvC3 & MvC2 on my PS3 and the 2D games on MAME

Holy shit, that is a huge drop compared to the first game. No way digital is going to make up for that. I wonder how it will fare in the rest of Europe and whether it will make any impact in Asia.

With PC2, GTS and Forza releasing so close together is probably eating into sales.

Something I mentioned to Ian Bell and I did say they're shooting themselves in the foot.

Baffling decision.

Indeed.
Out of all seasons to release a sim in consoles why would you chose the one year in a decade where we get a new GT title and MS is dropping Forza as a showcase title for their new console.

Kinda feel bad for them. Maybe the PC audience can help compensate for the lost sales on consoles. Doubt it though...

I would have thought keeping PC2 till 2018 would have made more sense, could have attracted Playstation and Xbox players looking for there next racer, rather than them holding out for Forza and GTS.

Did F1 2017 have a better debut than PCARS 2?

 

[Hanmik]

here are the splits..

 

[kadotsu]

I am surprised by the splits for sports games. I expected those to be just like the hardware share. Was there anything exclusive for NBA and PES?

 

[EGOMON]

Damn PS4 is sweeping in almost all genres

 

[noobie]

here are the splits..

PS4 never had such a strong control over multiplatform softwares.

Yep

Good debut for Pokken, game is great and the online is smooth af so far

Shame about MvC:I, game on PC it's already kinda dead but getting a few friends to play with makes this bareable...and it's tons of fun as well

6 CRASH BANDICOOT N.SANE TRILOGY PS4 ACTIVISION ACTIVISION

Damn, it was #9 on the chart just last week. It even beat Uncharted.

Crash will have amazing legs to stand on.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

here are the splits..

Some big differences in splits. Many over 2:1.

I wonder what the MvC split was. Possibly even larger than PES.

It probably is larger. Remember, the XB1 version of MvC:I didn't chart. That means the number of copies sold is so incredibly miniscule.

Destiny 2 numbers are really telling. Although at the same time GTAV is pretty close.
