Pokemon Sword and Shield back from the dead is surprising. Guessing some sort of sale.

And Pokémon Shield and Scarlet sold better that week.

Not that it tells us much, but I'm glad Pikmin 4 made the number 1 spot.

Didn't expect Pikmin to stay in third thought it might fall some places, but happy it didn't.

 

[RaymondBryce]

That's pretty good for Odyssey to be back in the top 10.

And Hogwarts showing strong legs still.

[mazi]

for the 16 weeks since its launch, totk has been #1 for 13 weeks (so every week except the launches of ff16, diablo 4 and pikmin 4).

 

[RaymondBryce]

Looks like Switzerland is basically another France.

 

[DrWong]

I know it's probably not that fresh but...: Switcherland.

 

[Kenka]

Switzerland is more Japanese than Japan at this point.

 

[fiendcode]

France, Spain, Switzerland... how long until all of Europe is Japan?

 

[Aostia82]

France, Spain, Switzerland... how long until all of Europe is Japan?

Italy still seems to be a Sony stronghold

Mario Kart and Zelda are unstoppable!
Also, I thought XGS was publishing Bethesda games.

 

[awng782]

No, Bethesda still operates independently and is separate from Xbox Game Studios. Both fall under Microsoft Gaming, led by Phil Spencer

The same will happen to Activision Blizzard once the ABK acquisition is complete.

Yeah, I did know that they are working independently, but I didn't know that they were still publishing their titles. I thought MS was picking up the bill.

[BTB123]

So many new games, holy crap!

 

[Kenka]

Baten Kaitos charted!

Lies of P too, but then it completely exited the charts.

 

[Sealife01]

I know Switch has done amazing in Switzerland, but was FC 24 expected to do better there than on Xbox? For the first weeks I mean.

Spain has a better performance too.

 

[woodhead]

Nice to see Bud Spencer and Terence Hill in the charts

 

[AruanaRiva]

Seeing Fae Farm this strong all over the chart makes me laugh on how much people hating that Farming Direct lol. Guess what, Switch owners love damn farming kek.

[Drblitzk]

It’s not common for FIFA (well, NOT FIFA now) Switch version on top of the others so fast after launch no?

Wonder how the wizards game will do with the launch of the Switch, it’s the holidays also.

The other was legacy versions. And year on year Switch won space on the Fifa market in Europe.

[theprodigy]

SMRPG top 10 3 weeks in a row? Nice (edit: whoops this isn't the general PAL charts thread)

 

[RaymondBryce]

Tears showing some good legs here.

 

[JSG1987]

The switch version is FC24 appears to be doing a lot better worldwide than the previous iterations based on the available chart placements for it where we get information. I'd guess this would bode well for future support maybe? Especially if those users transition to Switch 2.

 

[Kenka]

Switzerland has definitely aligned with France this generation.

Surprising for a country that has a majority of German speakers and also a minority of Italian speakers (both of which in there respective country show less inclination towards the Switch).

Italy sure, Germany...you sure you aren't letting retail only vs retail+digital charts throw you off?

 

[Kenka]

Italy sure, Germany...you sure you aren't letting retail only vs retail+digital charts throw you off?

At first, I was about to say 'nah'. But then I went back to the September 2022 charts which were the last non-holiday charts we got that covered only the retail market. And, it looks exactly as crowded with Nintendo games as the France yearly top does. So, yeah, I might have spoken too soon.

edit: however, the yearly France top we got for 2022 accounts for retail + digital and Nintendo titles are still ever present. I can't link to the source since the numbers are compiled by Ludostrie (and there is a paywall) but all you need to know is that there are 10/20 Nintendo games there.

So yeah, based on what we saw this year so far in the German retail+digital charts, it is safe to assume that Nintendo software is more popular in France than it does in Germany. But is Switzerland necessarily leaning more towards France? There is no way to tell without a clear view on digital sales.
