PAL Charts - Week 14, 2019

Yep. The physical data clearly doesn't show the full picture but even then I would be surprised if the UK market is up this year.
Yes as a consumer I prefer Sony's pricing strategy too, where I don't have to pay full price for older games.
Yep, other consoles offer better prices for people, I haven't bought anything on Switch for months because of the high prices.
I don't know how it works in other areas like you mention, but most retailers don't just go out and buy 1000s of copies of games upfront, they're on credit or consignment for a price from the publisher, so any excess stock ends up either having its priced slashed by the publisher to it can be sold, or the games go back. Unless its a retailer who for whatever reason just pays full price upfront for X amount of stock, they alone don't just decide to slash the price of a game
Its like at some point every year the price of Fifa at retail just drops about £15, retailers haven't just gone out and bought a load of new stock at a cheaper price, EA has told them the copies they still have on the shelf can be sold at a lower price as they're charging the retailer less

Right, "somewhat interested".
I am talking about my most anticipated game of the year.
We also got PSN sales for March.I wonder how much longer will EA allow Bioware to support Anthem after sales completely collapsed.
I would say that comes down to the person in that scenario than. That is just a lack of restraint and responsibility.
No clue. I have had my fill of the game and feel like it will take them at least a year to get the game to a state where it will become must play.
Nintendo exclusives continue to dominate globally...at full price...years after release. Good on ya, Nintendo.
If you buy games day one like me the switch pricing works out better. I like it
I still buy games day 1 on other platforms, my only option for Switch is digital but I'm punished for that because of the high prices even for old games.
There is no wrong it right in this scenario - at the end of the day everybody is going to do what works best for them.

Yeah that's true. If you're digital it stinks. I'm still not there, will probably never get there
Article says report is for whole market.
But growth of market, +5%, does not match with growth of each platform.
copies vs revenue. Also, SW sales just for Eldorado.
edit: there's more data –

For those who buy games at day 1 and are willing to put money down for that, i dont think the budget is really that big of an issue in the regards that they might be scared of feeling burned. I mean, e.g $60 is still $60 spent even if people end up liking the game or not, and people were willing to pay that amount in the first place. Otherwise i think they would probably just wait for the game to be cheaper to begin with. And if people buy a game at day 1, they probably know quite fast if they like it or not, and can sell it quickly before the price of a new copy goes down noticeably. How do you mean with time by the way?
But like you mention, theres no right or wrong answer in this case, so i agree with that. I also get that it can suck a bit if a game falls much in price only a few weeks after they buy it, but i dont think its too much need to worry about that since they were willing to pay the asking price to begin with. But i think the most important thing is that people feel that they get their money worth from a game :)

Part of my new year's resolution was to play more of my backlog and impulse buy less games, and keeping a log of all the games I buy, it really made me realize that Nintendo games are the only ones I pay full price for. Before I would have just grabbed Yoshi without even thinking about it, but now I'm really having to weigh the value of buying a 5 hour platformer for $60 that, while I'm sure I'll enjoy it, is probably not going to be a game I'm constantly replaying and deep diving into.
After the disaster that was the MAR10 sale, I understand just how hungry people are for discounted first party Nintendo titles; I already had NSMBU + NSLU for Wii U so the Switch version had no real value for me at full price, but it suddenly dropped to $40 and I made sure to grab it at midnight; I couldn't possibly anticipate though how quickly stores ran out of the deal because people were practically tramping over each other to get Mario on the (relatively) cheap.
Especially with these dry spells of first party software in H1, I really can't see Yoshi's price dropping anytime soon. It's too bad because it looks like a cute and fun game, but I'm trying to be more conscious of my spending and adding to my backlog now. Even a 20 dollar drop would probably get me to snag it; Resident Evil 2 went on sale for that and I got it immediately and I'm having a blast with it, but it wasn't a day 1 buy for me and I'm glad I waited.

Dragon ball is special it s all the childhood for lots of french people
Animes in general are popular in french, but probably only DB has the kind of nostalgia that would make this kind of game chart in the Top 5.
So PS4 picked up 1.54 million out of 2.2 million copies sold in the Russia?
That is fucking insane?

"this kind of game" - we are talking about a full priced card game.
Regardless of what you think of World Seeker but its this generations big console One Piece game and probably the one with the biggest budget ever.
I'm a bit sick, so maybe I'm misinterpreting, but the numbers you quoted are Russian market numbers, right? Why does this settle the debate you had with the other person?So PS4 picked up 1.54 million out of 2.2 Million copies sold?
That is fucking insane?
Side note: I had a debate with another gamer about PS4 picking up a really high percentage of games sold in the UK. He tried to tell me that it was only in certain instances. I gotta go find that and tag him so we don't have any ambiguity going forward.

Dude...
At least you didn't actually tag said gamer I guess.
Amended. That's still an insane percentage considering the rest is split between 3 separate platforms, right?
Oh I thought that you meant anime games in general. Nvm then !
It's only one retail chain - even tho is the biggest one in Russia. But I dont think numbers will change much for the entire market
PS is dominating here
Completely off topic but those Russian players on every FPS I've played this gen are incredible. Excuse the pun but Russians play no games when it comes to online FPS' lol
Xbox One still second place, while Switch sales grew nearly 100% is something.
So Xbox One marketshare is >20% (assuming no meaningful last gen sales anymore)
labo VR missed the top 40
