Do the GfK rankings include sales through digital channels as well, like the Game.de monthly charts?

Do the GfK rankings include sales through digital channels as well, like the Game.de monthly charts?

Pretty clearly not. Except maybe for PC.

 

[Astral_lion02]

Peach was not in the top 10 in march.

So this game being #4 on the retail GFK ranking for the quarter mean that the physical market is weak in Germany currently.

Not gonna lie, I'm shocked EA Sports FC 24 isn't one of the Top selling console titles of the year. Maybe the list ranks the top selling retail SKUs rather than the top selling retail titles?

[Sealife01]

How has Switch done in New Zealand compared to other Nintendo consoles? We know Nintendo isn’t big there and looking at the charts Switch doesn’t seem to be doing well, but it still could be an improvment?

Peach is definitely a success story in Switzerland. Dragon's Dogma and Rise of the Ronin are not without merit either.

It's unclear from the press release if Peach is again the best-selling title of the week across all platforms (for the fifth time in a row) but it could be interpreted this way. Also no Xbox Series charts this week.

Sounds like it to me, as they don't specify Switch when saying it has stayed unbeaten.

 

[awng782]

Peach's performance in Germany is quite good, even in Japan it was not been able to stay on top of the retail charts for long.

[AViewtifulMind]

Sounds like it to me, as they don't specify Switch when saying it has stayed unbeaten.

The press release specifies that it's the fifth time in a row on the Nintendo Switch charts and that's all it says. There is no mention of "across all platforms" whatsoever, hence the ambiguity.

This stands in contrast to the press release for Peach's third week on top that explicitly mentions that it's not just on the Switch charts, but across all platforms.

EDIT: Looking at the press release for the fourth week, it first says that it happened on the Switch charts and then in the follow-up sentence it mentions that it also held true across all platforms. The omission in the fifth week makes it sound like it has stopped to happen across all platforms, but at the same time it doesn't rule out that it has still happened.

War never changes...
That Fallout domination, Fallout 5 coming to a device near you circa 2033~
Right on time to capitalize on this marketing blitz.

But really, with the various degree of bumps that TW3/CP2077/TLoU and now Fallout have received from their TV show, we're definitely going to see more and more transmedia attempts in the future.

Oh, so we have here another market where Top Spin 2K25 debuts at No1. It seems this title is doing pretty well, it has been 13 years since the previous entry was launched.

Everyone can finish first in a slow period, especially without a big outing.

 

[theprodigy]

Everyone can finish first in a slow period, especially without a big outing.

I mean this released the same day as Stellar Blade (granted France and Belgium are outliers).

 

[Avitsky]

I mean this released the same day as Stellar Blade (granted France and Belgium are outliers).

Logic, a western game that is cross-platform vs an Asian exclusive.

You have to be very careful between the real market and the noise of social networks.

A lot of noise for nothing.

 

[Damage2]

Outside of two or three markets, Stellar Blade is doing great, probably a million seller by now.
