Thanks for the hard work @mazi !

I really like than platforms are ordered in these charts. FIFA Switch > FIFA PS5 is an interesting one, I wonder how is the supply situation there since launch.
So they really are? That's great!
Regarding FIFA, the Switch version was above the PS5 one on Week 2, not 1. But still, interesting observation. I guess this shows also that the Xbox brand isn't particularly strong nowadays there.

One thing I am really interested in is Metroid Dread's next week placement. That should be fun to watch.

Lelouch, I was checking the website and their source for data is https://www.siea.ch/charts/

However Siea don't post combined charts so I'm wondering where they are getting combined data from

Thanks mazi for the chart. It is interesting to see how the next-gen transition is happening in Switzerland.

They don't seem to have gotten that much stock.

While it's too early to make claim about demographics, it seems at the first glance that its PS5 userbase might be the hardcore judging by Back 4 Blood and Kimetsu no Yaiba's split this week.

Do we know relatively how big the Swiss video game market is compared to the bigger European markets like Germany, UK, Spain, France, and Italy?
We can compare the sales of PS3 and 360 consoles in those countries:

1. UK: 5.92m, 9.04m (14.96m) [Pop: 67.2m]
2. France: 5.18m, 3.17m (8.35m) [Pop: 67.4m]
3. Germany 4.54m, 2.84m (7.38m) [Pop: 83.2m]
4. Italy 2.50m, 1.88m (4.38m) [Pop: 59.6m]
5. Spain 2.98m, 1.29m (4.27m) [Pop: 47.4m]
X. Sweden 0.44m, 0.48m (0.92m) [Pop: 10.4m]
X. Switzerland: 0.60m, 0.28m (0.88m) [Pop: 8.6m]
X. Austria 0.51m, 0.35m (0.86m) [Pop: 8.9m]

Hope that helps.

Whenever we see Minecraft on these Euro charts should we assume the majority of the sales are the Switch version?
Looking at the UK charts in the last few weeks, Minecraft (Nintendo) has been 5th, 7th, 6th. No other version of Minecraft in the top 40.

UK monthly charts September (physical+digital): Minecraft (Nintendo) is 12th (physical only), no other version of Minecraft in top 20.

Make of that as you will.

It's really great that Switzerland, even if it's a small market, provides each week a top 10 of the best selling games in the country as well a top per platform. I've asked the SIEA a few years ago if it included digital sales, they told me no. Don't know if that has changed since then.

I'm more surprised about Hot Wheels selling more on PS5 than on Switch! Perhaps over time this will change.
 
I know Switzerland isn't a big territory but it is nice seeing Dread have legs. Top 5 after 3 weeks is good

In the detailed tops per platform, we can see that Marvel's Guardians sold more than Riders Republic on PS5 and XBS however it's the opposite on PS4 and overall the Ubisoft game is above the Square Enix one thanks to that strong PS4 performance.

I would say that the gaming market in switzerland (and austria) is about 10 times smaller than in germany. It is almost always the case with everything else, even though people in switzerland usually spend a bit more money per person. The ps3/xbox numbers at least seem to hint in a similar direction.
 
Just Dance sold best on the Switch, as per usual.
Do we know how the CoD debut compares to previous years? Did it drop like in other markets?

We don't have units numbers in Switzerland only the position in the chart. Last year Black Ops Cold War debutated at #2 behind AC Valhalla but then took number #1 the next week.
 
weeks 46 to 50, 2021
We have charts! SIEA has finally updated all the missing weeks charts. Well I say all but week 45 is actually missing for some reason, don't know if that's a mistake, if no data was available or if perahps it was simply combined with week 46.

Wow, Nintendo clearly dominating the christmas (I know they usually benefit the most but 9/10 is still fairly impressive).
 
Interesting, since week 51 Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are counted together while that wasn't the case previously.

I'm also very pleased to see Retunrla back in the top 10 of the PS5 chart for weeks 51 and 52!

Really more like 19/20. While FIFA is still probably mostly PS4, we have seen that the Switch version sells A significant amount in Euro markets. And of course, Just Dance and Minecraft maybe be multiplat but we all know where 80-90% of those sales are happening.
 
NSMBU crawling back into the top 10 in week 51 and then going even higher in week 52 strikes me as a bit odd. Was it on sale somehow?
 
@mazi Same as I said here.

Then French and Switzerland charts will have one thread per year.
i'd rather just keep it to this thread tbh, i mention the year in the threadmark anyway. don't see any reason to have multiple threads that are each a few pages long for this one, considering the thread is pretty slow.
