France Weekly Sales Thread - 2024 Edition

[Astral_lion02]

Fun fact:

In 2023, 101K units was enough to make it into the French retail top 20 by SKU (GfK data)

This is less than what you need to enter in the Nintendo DS top 20 in 2007.

Overall 12,35M physical games were sold last year including 6,79M Switch game (I don't have PS and Xbox numbers).

Here is 2021 for reference:

Packaged software sales estimates by IDG Consulting (I've got only the percentage of the total):

NSW: ~8.24M
PS4: ~4.26M
PS5: ~0.99M
XBO: ~0.43M
XBS: ~0.14M
3DS: ~0.14M

Total packaged software sales: 14.21M

These numbers are differents from CESA (despite both quoting IDG) who had this for 2021 and 2022:

	2022	2021
NSW	5,36M	6,90M
PS5	1,49M	0,95M
PS4	1,94M	3,29M
XBS	0,44M	0,14M
XB1	0,29M	0,43M
3DS	0,03M	0,14M
PS3	-	0,01M
TOTAL	9,47M	11,89M

yeah, Unicorn overlord absence hurts
I think this happened earlier with another "Switch-bound" jrpg, expected to chart but gettig lower-than-expected positioning in France, compared to other EU countires, but can'r remember which one it was

I think it was SMTV

 

[Aostia82]

could be! you are maybe right

 

[Lelouch0612]

Unicorn was completely sold out in France, it sold as best as it could.

 

[storres]

could be! you are maybe right

In SMTV's defense, it released in the middle of CoD, Sport and Pokemon season, and GoWR.

Oh.
Someone f*cked it up the preorders then
I mean, out of every EU country France would have been the safest bet

 

[BTB123]

Oh.
Someone f*cked it up the preorders then
I mean, out of every EU country France would have been the safest bet

Easily should have been a safe bet. They way undershipped it.

 

[Astral_lion02]

Oh.

Easily should have been a safe bet. They way undershipped it.

For this kind of game I think the safest bet is more Spain than France.

Also France for some reason don't like Persona/SMT as much as the rest of Europe and more important 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim was not really that big.

That context probably misslead Koch Media which is understandable.

In SMTV's defense, it released in the middle of CoD, Sport and Pokemon season, and GoWR.

The main issue back then is that it miss Switch top 3 ranking while Spain, Italy and even UK had it as the best selling Switch game of the week and it was also less popular at eShop than elsewhere in Europe.

I am still on the French report compilation.
They were some leaks aside the report release so it will have more data than usual.
I will also add an infographie with historical data.

Wainting, this what I have as first estimate for 2023 hardware in France:

HARDWARE

+-------+------------+------------+-------------+
|System |   This CY  |   Last CY  |     LTD     |
+-------+------------+------------+-------------+
| PS5 # |  1.400.000 |    400.000 |   2.500.000 |
| NSW # |    900.000 |  1.000.000 |   8.000.000 |
| XBS # |    200.000 |    200.000 |     700.000 |
|  OTH  |    100.000 |    100.000 |             |
+-------+------------+------------+-------------+
|  ALL  |  2.600.000 |  1.700.000 |  11.300.000 |
+-------+------------+------------+-------------+

Note that these estimate are for GfK numbers.
Given previous years trends, GSD will have PS5 LTD at ~2,6M and Switch LTD at ~7,8M while Xbox would remain at 0,7M.

CNC will give the actual total with their yearly report in May.

As of 2023, 27,5% of french households have at least one Nintendo Switch.

Do you have a list of the biggest CY for a single hardware? Cause this seems pretty high for PS5
I assume there'd be a lot of DS years in it lol

 

[Astral_lion02]

Do you have a list of the biggest CY for a single hardware? Cause this seems pretty high for PS5
I assume there'd be a lot of DS years in it lol

This should be the biggest year ever for Sony:

01 [NDS] (2008) - 2,30M
02 [NDS] (2007) - 2,15M
03 [NDS] (2009) - 1,84M
04 [WII] (2008) - 1,61M
05 [NSW] (2020) - 1,51M
06 [NDS] (2010) - 1,42M
07 [PS5] (2023) - ~1,4M
08 [PS1] (1998) - 1,36M
09 [NDS] (2006) - 1,32M
10 [NSW] (2021) - 1,30M

Note:
I revised my numbers since the last time I post this due to some new sources.
Now I have Hardware for 1998-2003 from Screen digest who show that PS1 strong 1998.

For GEN 7 numbers there is sometimes variance between sources:
For exemple one source claim NDS 2008 at 2,25M while an Nintendo interview claim 2,4M...

France overperform for PS5 last year.
It was the first time Sony sold more consoles in France than UK.
(For Nintendo it's the case evry year since 2012)

Due to these strong PS5 hardware sales France overperform for Hardware in general:

2023 Hardware revenus:

FRANCE (GSD) : 1059M€
UK (GfK) : 1077M€ (convert from 934M£)

2023 Hardware units:

FRANCE (estimate) : 2,6M
UK (GfK) : 2,605M

Note: Unlike France Retrogaming consoles are not include for UK so the difference is slighty bigger.

Impeccable from both Ronin and Peach. Mario Wonder hovering above Mario Kart is an excellent sign as well.

Excellent holds from both Peach and Ronin whereas DD2 looks to be stumbling.

This is historic!!!

I'm pretty sure it's the 1st time the top 10 was just NSW games right? Damn Playstation being bodied at retail in a very physical heavy market is a sight to see.

For the love of Playstation, God forbid the Switch 2 in France.

Top 10

NSW - 10

To provide further context on why Bayonetta 3 is there: big discounting is the reason.

Bayonetta 3 sur Switch passe à 14.99€ chez fnac

-----

Bayonetta 3 on Switch drops to €14.99 at fnac

It's probably the same reason why Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope charted that high as well.

Even then, we're looking at 8 out of 10 placements in the chart being occupied by Switch games without significant discounting activity.
There can be reasonable explanations behind this, such as the fact that a significant share of software sales for Switch in France comes from retail and Nintendo's and Switch's strength in the French market but...that sure is a sight, especially this late into its lifecycle.

French love peaches

This is historic!!!

Yes but these top 10 exist only since 2021.

Maybe Switch top 10 happened in 2020, 2019 or even 2018.

I'm pretty sure I've seen France Switch only top 10s before.

 

[Lelouch0612]

Peach seems to be performing very well in France. Switch really hit that family & girls/women demographic over here so I am not that surprised.

It's the 5th consecutive week with Peach at no1.

Gran Turismo 7 continue to have great legs.

 

[Aostia82]

Peach's reign to be dethroned by Stellar Blade' female protagonist next week will be funny

Peach still #1. GT7 at 5 is great to see as well.

 

[Lelouch0612]

Long legs for MvsDK on the revenue chart too.

 

[Aostia82]

Long legs for MvsDK on the revenue chart too.

Yeah
If Another Code and Endless Ocean are confirming their small nature also on the Switch, I would say Peach and MvsDK are doing well as side/end of life projects

22 years ago in May 3, 2002 Nintendo released the Nintendo GameCube in Europe.
GC is the console that give the reputation of France being a Nintendo territory.
It's one of the few (if not the only one) territoiries were GameCube was bigger than Nintendo 64.

This is what I have for the console:

Hardware - 1.355.000


Software - 9.680.000



SOFTWARE LTD (AS OF DEC 2004)

MARIO KART DOUBLE DASH - 470.000
SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE - 290.000
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: THE WIND WAKER - 255.000
SUPER SMASH BROS. MELEE - 250.000
DONKEY KONGA - 50.000
ANIMAL CROSSING - 33.000

 

[sfortunato]

Long-term success never arrives from nothing.

Animal Crossing cultivated a small but loyal fanbase on GC which migrated over DS initially helping the game to be more and more popular over time.

This must be the only market in the world where Top Spin 2K25 has outsold Stellar Blade

 

[Astral_lion02]

The last time an Xbox game charted in units top 10 and on revenue top 5:

GFK - Week 46, 2023 (Nov 13 - Nov 19) Individual Formats (Units) [Retail]

08 (04) [XBS] CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE III (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD)

GSD Week 45, 2023 (Nov 06 - Nov 12) - Individual Formats (Units) [Revenus]

04 (NE) [XBS] CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE III (ACTIVSION BLIZZARD)

If Top Spin enter in the SELL ranking this would break a period of 23 consecutive weeks (more than 5 months) without an Xbox game on the SELL top 5.
(I think it's one of the longuest periods since ~2006/07)
