Looking at IDEA website it seams that Italian weekly charts are gone.

I think the reason is that starting March 2023 Italian charts will go from a weekly format to a monthly format similar to Germany and UK.
 
Nintendo Switch is the most sold Nintendo console ever in Portugal.



Sony as a great presence in Portugal but Switch is tremendous success.

From the news, it also seems like Nintendo didn't officially sell consoles until 2009?
 
Do we knowh how many Nintendo DS were sold in Portugal ?

If DS had to wait untill 2009 for an official release then it's easier to beat DS than in rest of Europe.

Searched but couldn't find anything.

And in terms of numbers could only find these news from early 2019 regarding Switch having sold 50k+ at that point.

We'll see, for now they aren't mentioned anywhere in the website and they didn't announce anything...

GfK tracks only retail sales in Germany, right?
The answer is 99% yes but I couldn't find the information on the source.

Huge legs for HL, already above RE4R on PS5/Xbox Series.

The PC chart made me chuckle.
 
Sometimes you really forget what kind of a beast Minecraft is on Switch - between the retail performance and the very high eShop placement in recent months.

Between Minecraft and CoD MS about to stay the biggest 3rdParty on Nintendo systems in the future.

Nintendo evergreens in Germany are starting to pant heavily. I know that this charts counts digital sales but still, their placement is not what it used to be.
 
Nintendo evergreens in Germany are starting to pant heavily. I know that this charts counts digital sales but still, their placement is not what it used to be.
Without digital being counted those charts would look vastly different. RE4 would probably be #1. I think like 8-9 of the games in the top 20 wouldn't be there without their digital sales being counted or would be like 10 or more placements lower.
Anno 1800, RDR2, F1 22, Rainbow Six Siege, Monopoly Plus, Sea of Thieves, Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope (this one is only here because it's on sale on the eshop), Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and probably also NBA 2K23 might have not been here at all if it was only physical counted. And GTA V and CoD would have been at least much lower.
And now which games would have been there instead?

Tchia placing high for the month on both UK (6th) and Germany (7th) but somehow completely absent from PS Store top 20 EU PS4/5 charts.

Game didn't launch on Steam (it's a EGS temporary exclusive), so I'm a bit confused. Either it sold poorly in other EU countries to the point of not appearing in PS chart despite doing well in 2 of the biggest markets, or the EGS version actually sold pretty well.
 
Yes, but the digital inclusion is exactly the reason why
Thanks, it flew past me that game started tracking digital sales this year.
The difference is staggering. Just as Lelouch mentioned, PC being big in Germany (and skewed towards digital) paints an entirely different picture of the market.

Indeed! The last December charts (which included retail only) were an obscene Nintendo fest.
