Final Fantasy XVI launch in France was slighty ahead of Final Fantasy VII Remake at retail but digital sales were only half of what does Final Fantasy VII Remake.
Which was higher overall?Final Fantasy XVI launch in France was slighty ahead of Final Fantasy VII Remake at retail but digital sales were only half of what does Final Fantasy VII Remake.
May I ask where you got the information from if that's not too inquisitive?Final Fantasy XVI launch in France was slighty ahead of Final Fantasy VII Remake at retail but digital sales were only half of what does Final Fantasy VII Remake.
It's from Oscarlemaire.May I ask where you got the information from if that's not too inquisitive?

I gotta ask. At this point, France is among the slowest major markets in terms of digital adoption, right?Final Fantasy XVI launch in France was slighty ahead of Final Fantasy VII Remake at retail but digital sales were only half of what does Final Fantasy VII Remake.
There is the Sell yearly report that had some GSD dataI don't think there is anything in that thread that allows us to determine that digital adoption rates are lower in France than elsewhere and by how much.
Oscar has a valuable infography from 2021 but it compares ratios for selected titles only.

France is a rather transparent market, but other markets aren't. We don't know about the digital ratios in countries like Germany, Canada, Japan, etc. That's what makes any comparison hard.There is the Sell yearly report that had some GSD data
Physical software share has been stable since 2020, and 2022 digital software sales share was down compared to peak pandemic years.
Another big factor that impacts digital ratios is that Xbox is weak in all the counties you stated and that's the most digital platform. That's obviously a major factor that makes the US/UK have higher digital ratios.France is a rather transparent market, but other markets aren't.

So digital and physical game sales are basically almost 50% each?There is the Sell yearly report that had some GSD data

We have few (old) exemples who show that Spain is bellow France for digital ratios.I gotta ask. At this point, France is among the slowest major markets in terms of digital adoption, right?
I know the digital market is basically dead for books (under 5% of the market, down YoY in 2022), but it's still interesting to see something somewhat similar (though not as extreme) for video games
FF VII digital ratio - ~50%if you don't mind,
Whats the difference with digital? And whats the difference in digital rates?

Thanks, I wanted to be sure that this is W1-21 and not H1. The latter would have made sense given this time of the year.I change the link.

Not sure why you are making this claim for a game that is ranked 12th on a list. Like technically those are legs, but you can't extrapolate the performance from that low of a position, especially in a year with so few heavy hitters and a weak COD. 7 new games in the top 20 is kind of weak, even with the transition to digital.Gran Turismo 7 will reach 10 million, back to form for this franchise.

What was the last official number the game had?GT7 was not far behind Horizon in 2022 charts. It likely have sold 7 million by now.

One stipulation for Horizon is that bundles aren't tracked in the software charts for NPD/Circana so, Horizon is actually higher than it is represented. Also keep in mind that differences in position can be in the tens of thousands for ones right next to each other so the NPD gap could be in the hundreds of thousands without considering bundles. It could still be 7 million but, it seems a little less than likely.GT7 was not far behind Horizon in 2022 charts. It likely have sold 7 million by now.

Not on Amazon France but I've seen one-star reviews on Amazon US and people are mad at the lack of a substantial co-op mode.Is there some controversy or something with Pikmin 4 in France? Just saw that it has 2 stars on Amazon just from 3 reviews, but still.
I can understand being disappointed in that and could be the same reason here. But still fans as usual overreacting to something and review bombing.Not on Amazon France but I've seen one-star reviews on Amazon US and people are mad at the lack of a substantial co-op mode.
