It feels like Nintendo Switch Sports is very quietly becoming a massive seller globally. That game’s social media presence-to-sales ratio seems quite low. I guess the blue ocean isn’t totally dried up yet!

Now that I wasn't expecting. Really goes to show how much money EA's left on the table with their endless re-release of FIFA 18 (then again, with how cheap those must have been to make, maybe not that much after all... ).

QFT, which always reminds me of GTA V Switch's MIA.

BTW to be more precise Hogwarts PS5 is around 107K and Zelda is 315K combined, not necessarily 15K Collectors

Mario 3D World, Party Superstars, TLOUPI, NSMBUDx, and Final Fantasy XVI would've completed the top 20 together with Hogwarts Switch in no specific order from the top of my head.

 

[Luminoth 4545]

Have we got calendar year sales since 2017?

 

[Aostia82]

well, very strong PS5 performance but I'd say wow at the Switch hold + software results, here!

Thank you for all the information. Do you know (or would mind sharing) whether Pokémon Scarlet/Violet (all SKUs included, such as the double pack and the DLC bundle) already crossed 450k retail?

 

[Tialo]

Mario Odyssey being at position 13 in yearly charts is also very impressive in its seventh year

I have hardware sales since 2015.

Will post it in few hours.

I think, without doing much of the maths, that it's preeeety much there, probably slightly above yes.

[Himura Kenshin]

So EA Sports FC 24 was the best selling game of the year by a country mile. I went back and looked at the two previous years via the link in the OP and as I suspected FIFA led the year each time.

When was the last time FIFA/EA Sports FC wasn't the bestselling game of the year? GTAV maybe?

 

[Luminoth 4545]

The final two weeks (51+52) for hardware are mentioned in the article, better late than never

2023	Switch	PS5	XBS	Total
Week 51	32000	26000	6500	64500
Week 52	17000	21000	1500	39500

 

[enpleinjour]

Is this final hardware sales or do they need to be upweighted for 100% of the market?

 

[Luminoth 4545]

I added up the total for December and it was very close between Switch and PS5

December Hardware: (Nov 27 - Dec 31)

PS5: 96.000
NSW: 93.000
XBS: 13.000
PSVR2: 2.000
PSPortal: 4.000

 

[Kenka]

EA FC has grown to become a reliable seller on Nintendo platforms.

Seeing that EA Sports FC 24 PS4 version was the best selling SKU means that there's a lot of potential growth for the PS5 in countries like Spain, Italy, and many more.

It also tells that the PS4 software sales might be closer to the 2 Billion mark WW.

The current limit for PS5 sales in Spain is its price. It is selling extremely well when it gets discounted, showing the potential of the platform.

 

[salesguy]

pretty good on xbs hardware all considered against the 2023 ps5 stock deluge.

Because the cut is just higher It'd be around or below the ballpark for the top 20.

 

[Jbone916]

​

Switch: Nice smooth sales curve with a central peak.

PS5: Harry Potter’s scar

 

[awng782]

Spain must be one of the only regions where XBS sales are up/flat YoY.

 

[Lelouch0612]

And is outselling the Xbox One launch aligned.

It really benefitted from the PS5 lack of availability and high price.

 

[CaVaYeRo]

Which is amazing considering how there's been no marketing for it like for years, only word of mouth for Game Pass and the tempting price of the Series S.

 

[Bruno MB]

To share some interesting stat I will say that Nintendo Switch represented almost 49% of all physical software sold (units) in 2023 followed by PlayStation 5 with 24%.

[Bruno MB]

AEVI yearly physical software revenue is wrong for the 3rd year in a row, the real number is a lot smaller.

If you divide 418.000.000 euros by 6.501.652 games sold you get a price average of 64,29 euros per game sold. Obviously this is a very wrong stat and I have no idea why they keep making this mistake, it is not professional.

 

[Kenka]

While we should take things with a grain of salt as mentioned by Bruno, I am quite impressed that Sports is not the dominant genre in Spain. I imagined that FIFA would be enough to push the genre at the summit of the charts.

 

[salesguy]

5.5:1 ps5:xbs seems pretty respectable for xbs given the market and that it was a flood year of ps stock.

most of the weeklies i recall seemed way worse like up to 8-10:1 so i'm not sure how that happened.

psportal interestingly has been fully in stock on amazon usa for a couple days. it has moved up to #24, with 6k sold (which is likely more than any xbs sku, granted xbs has been a joke on amazon this gen). if sony intends to actually supply it now we could get a better feel of it's true demand.

Bodes well for Metroid Prime 4

People are underestimating MP4 breakout success 10mil+ sales! I'm a broken record now with it lol. Please show us the gameplay this month

Nintendo games sellin 10m+ without the help of Asia are very rare.

I think MP4 should aim for 5m+ which would already be a tremendous result.

 

[Fisico]

From the info in the OP can't we infer that the 2 remaining SKU of Hogwarts (XB, NSW) should be around 30-50k more or less

Hogwarts Switch sold 32.500 in its first 3 weeks. At that time HL sold 200.000 units accross all platforms.

https://www.installbaseforum.com/forums/threads/spain-sales-week-48-2023-nov-27-dec-03.2198/

If we assume the remaining 50k were evenly split between Switch and all platforms we would be at:

But those are estimates, even if they shouldn't be that far off.

Do we know what Dread's LTD is? Or at least what it did in 2021? I don't recall any updates after it fell out of the weekly charts.

Metroid IP seams bigger in Spain than rest of Europe.

Dread did 37k in 2021 from the 2021 yearly report thread.

Isnt this because of Mercury Steam being Spanish?
As Mario Rabbids stronger in Italy

Dont forget I agree with 5mil mark. I said expectations/goals/etc should be around that mark with dread gonna be near the 3.5 lifetime.

My 10mil is just another Breakout success story I'm predicting for

Also the remaster was digital only right for like a month or 2? That would mean MPRemaster is alot bigger

IIRC, outside of US/Canada the game launched physically roughly a month later (so early march).

Based on the 50k initial shipment and the physical shipment numbers we have, it had a ~67% digital ratio in Japan in the first month. Also seems there were no wide spread shortages there for the game either. No guarantee that ratio is representative, but it's probably the most specific info we have.
