About GFK Methodologie

Evaluation of the annual volume and turnover of sales of video games on physical media.
Data collected by the GfK Institute in food superstores, specialized superstores (FNAC, Virgin, Cultura, etc.), mail order sales and internet sales. This data does not include sales at newsstands or gas stations. The rental and sale of second-hand games are not taken into account.


Volume refers to the number of units sold (number of "boxes"). Boxes containing several games together as part of a promotional offer, called "bundles", are not taken into account. Each game medium is associated with a genre (action/adventure, sport, FPS, MMO, etc.) and a nationality. Nationality is assigned using data not available to the CNC. Games designed and developed in France and for which French design expenditure is the majority are considered French. The genre of games is based on a nomenclature established by GfK.

GfK has implemented all its know-how in marketing studies (we are the 5th research institute in the world), coupled with a state-of-the-art technical platform, to collect and enrich sales data at checkout for more than 4,000 points of sale for cultural goods, and thus offer the reference solution in terms of distributor panels. These points of sale, as partners, send us their information every week. These points of sale are representative of the distribution of cultural products in France: Supermarkets specializing in culture, Supermarkets for food, 1st level and local bookstores, Internet. In books, specialized non-book superstores (DIY / gardening / household appliances / toys / games / IT) are also included.

I wonder what Mario Kart has sold this past quarter. 5M copies seems a lot but something in me says that it is possible.

Violet sold way more than Scarlet. I get why but the difference is still kinda shocking.

Violet sold way more than Scarlet. I get why but the difference is still kinda shocking.

I'm curious if the trend in Japan is the same elsewhere, where violet sells better but koraidon is more popular.

No PS4 SKU for Odyssey charting ? That's a surprise.

Guess Skyward Sword was on sale that week.

 

[Kenka]

Bundles might explain why GoW is absent from the GSD charts but what about FIFA PS4? What is the reason for the discrepancy between GfK and GSD?

 

[Astral_lion02]

Guess Skyward Sword was on sale that week.

PS4 SKU is #4 in the GSD revenue top 5 but no in the GFK top 10.

And Yes Zelda was one sale like for severall others games who did not chart.

 

[Astandahl]

Bundles might explain why GoW is absent from the GSD charts but what about FIFA PS4? What is the reason for the discrepancy between GfK and GSD?

GSD is revenue based while GFK is units based.

The difference between the two charts is what Piscatella highlighted multiple times. A game that is sold at lower MSRP needs to sell more units to be ahead in the chart. The bigger the price difference is, the bigger is the amount of units it needs to sell to "stay ahead". This means that a units based chart doesn't factor in the price of the game (at least directly), while a revenue based chart does.

Thank you for your actual effort at attempting to explain the differences.

However, the question was stupid from the get go: I haven't seen that both charts were not refering to the same week :x

There where no units charts for the first week of Fire Emblem Threehouses.

In the revenue chart the limited edition charted but it's not really difficult when the chart is revenue based.

Just Dance is untracked by GFK because it's "Code in a box"
Only GSD track games who are "Code in a box".

I also think the reason why Just Dance is so high at eshop this year is because "code in box" sales are inclued.

Note:
If we get the sales of Just Dance (retail "code in a box" + digital) and FIFA (digital) for the last 2 weeks (using GSD) we could have a range for FE digital.

 

[Lelouch0612]

Good start for Engage

 

[Kenka]

Like in other territories, legs will largely determine how Engage will fare in France. I literally just started the game and I don't know what I am getting into but for the sake of the series (and his young director), I hope the game will deliver sales-wise.

 

[Astandahl]

Fascinating to see the differences between revenue and units charts.

 

[Aostia82]

Nice showing for FE Engage

I have no idea where to post this but "The Sisters - Party of the Year" ("Les Sisters - Show Devant!" in French, based on a hit comic series for children) has sold over 80k units on consoles. The game released in mid-2021 apparently, so it sold that much in a year and a half.

I don't know if this is France only or not though (most sales would be from there anyway). But the other numbers on that cover are France only so it's likely.

Microids is the true succesor of Mindscape and Infogrames.

I think all numbers are retail for France only and from GFK.
This is what make more sense.

Good hold for Fire Emblem. Better than in most other countries.

 

[Aostia82]

Well, Forespoken getting attention in France

 

[Lelouch0612]

 

[Remember_spinal]

France must be getting a lot of PS5’s lol

 

[Kenka]

Forspoken did it in France. I am glad this game resonated with a given public at last.

I really hope the game carves out some commercial success. The demo was fun and I feel reviews were overly critical.

I really enjoyed the overall game. Its the kind of game that has a lot of potential for a really above average sequel

 

[Astral_lion02]

layton was highly anticipated here.

 

[Kenka]

Layton beating Valentin Rongier and Lionel Messi. You love to see it

 

[cw_sasuke]

Layton was massive in Europe, def. one of the bigger announcements of yesterdays Direct.

 

[Astral_lion02]

PS5 is available.

 

[m051293]

Is this legit? And if so, do we have equivalent figures for Scarlet/Violet to compare to?

We've gotten these shipment numbers for France for quite a few games and products already.
Gives a perspective on how many Amiibos they usually produce.

Thanks that's what I thought.

@Lelouch0612 - do you recall what the shipment figure for SV was?

I also see that we got a suggestion of 360K physical launch for SV. If that was true, then @90% sell-through shipments would have been around 400K.

EDIT1: Found the following scrolling through that Twitter page. Obviously final shipment figures may have changed.

EDIT2: Added Scarlet/Violet

 

[Adri]

Wow this is huge. SV was apparently 700k, with 350k for each version.

SV was 350k for each main SKU + 10k/20k Double Packs Iirc. So we are indeed above it.

 

[m051293]

Impressive indeed, and also expected IMO. This will be bigger than Scarlet/Violet outside of Japan (>5.95M non-JP launch weekend will be exceeded).

 

[BTB123]

That is huge. Should be the biggest launch for a Nintendo game outside of Japan.

 

[silvergun]

Huge to say the least. Add the digital part and extrapole for the US... Japan will be the most incertain territory maybe. Waiting for the predictions thread lol
