I got the first one on epic store. Was kinda addicted to it.Happy to see that Jurassic Park Evolution 2 made the list on console too(I saw it was in the top 10 on Steam).
PHYSICAL sales... Physical means jack shit. Series S is ~50% of all Series sold in the UK. None of those sales are taken into account in these charts. We already know FH5 sold gang busters digitally due to the early access period hitting like 3.5M players.Forza Horizon 5 on release day lost to a 2017 Nintendo game (animal crossing) is not good man
And i saw mario party and mario kart deluxe there
Arent those old game? Holy shit nintendo are stronk in UK now

Nintendo also has their own digital stores right?PHYSICAL sales... Physical means jack shit. Series S is ~50% of all Series sold in the UK. None of those sales are taken into account in these charts.

How do you know/assume its not selling well there
Physical sales and does not include digital. At the end of the week they usually announce the physical + digital data.Forza Horizon 5 on release day lost to a 2017 Nintendo game (animal crossing) is not good man

FH5 first week sales are 80% lower than FH4, there is no way that with such massive drop digital will compensate this decline.Physical sales and does not include digital. At the end of the week they usually announce the physical + digital data.
On Xbox, and especially the case of FH5, the percentage on digital is notably higher than on PS. Hence, the UK physical data is now useless to know the reality of sales.
The last example is COD Vanguard where 80% of sales on Xbox were digital versus 67% on PS5 (COD Vanguard digital + physical is 57% PS vs 43% Xbox)
That's because it's not on PS.Physical sales and does not include digital. At the end of the week they usually announce the physical + digital data.

It's available day one on PC now though, I don't think FH4 was(?). Though GP would offset sales.FH5 first week sales are 80% lower than FH4, there is no way that with such massive drop digital will compensate this decline.
That's because it's not on PS.
Did you add physical sales % to digital sales % and came up with 80% v 67%?
Then 80% less refers to physical which was much lower than the digital sales in FH4. In FH5 even less. Physical is useless today.It's available day one on PC now though, I don't think FH4 was(?). Though GP would offset sales.
Edit: I am wrong, it was.

"Physical sales" no total sales.FH5 first week sales are 80% lower than FH4, there is no way that with such massive drop digital will compensate this decline.
Yeah it was day one on gamepass PC, i played it that way.That's because it's not on PS.

From the same source that provides the data for this this thread @Chris_Dring. Which corroborates the calculation on Twitter. In fact I was wrong and the difference is 64% on PS5 vs 80% on Xbox.
??? He rectifies the calculation by providing the data of 29% of total physical sales.He didn't say that was accurate at all, only said 29% are physical. Where did the 70 / 30 come from? 52 is higher than 48.
??? He rectifies the calculation by providing the data of 29% of total physical sales.
He is corroborating the data when he also adds that the total sales are 57% vs 43% which is very very different from the 70% vs 30% that resulted if we only looked at the physical sales. Which reveals the unnecessary of the physical sales data.
The percentage of digital sales on Xbox is much higher than the percentage on PS5. It's a fact and it's totally understandable under the circumstances 50:50 XSX vs XSS there.
And besides what all the complainers are saying about ww2 setting and the false claim the ww2 guns are probably boring it is a great installment and has more maps day one than the last 2 did half way through their respective years.Worst selling COD in UK in 14 years and still number 1, just shows the numbers that COD puts up compared to other games.
Because digital sales are often hidden, so people fanwar over it assuming it's zero.People really arguing about Forza sales when the game's on Game Pass and can be played for £1 on a burner account, sheesh
The game's doing great, I dunno why people are so determined to undermine that with b-b-b-buts about physical and digital
Did you add physical sales % to digital sales % and came up with 80% v 67%?
Man it's not that difficult. You just have to follow the thread and data offered.
52% of the digital sales are on PS according to that tweet. 52 is higher than 48.
Where does the 70 / 30 physical numbers come from?
I don't think you realise how small the UK retail sales are in comparison.FH5 first week sales are 80% lower than FH4, there is no way that with such massive drop digital will compensate this decline.
It has over 8.5 million players worldwide. This physical only UK chart is meaningless in an attempt to represent such a thing. In fact, one territory's numbers will be meaningless to that overall result even if we had the whole pie because we know it ain't just people in the UK playing this game. We already saw over 3.5 million playing in early access, if not more than that.
Not to mention FH5 is day 1 one gamepass.PHYSICAL sales... Physical means jack shit. Series S is ~50% of all Series sold in the UK. None of those sales are taken into account in these charts. We already know FH5 sold gang busters digitally due to the early access period hitting like 3.5M players.

So yeah. This is literally proof that drawing any conclusions about sales through physical UK chart is laughable at best
I don’t understand why some people have a hard time wrapping their head around something so obvious.PHYSICAL sales... Physical means jack shit. Series S is ~50% of all Series sold in the UK.

Retail sales in UK dont mean **** you say and yet older nintendo title like animal crossing mario party keep entering top 10 and topping even newer game like Forza Horizon 5 and Guardian of Galaxy and become best selling game and some of you folks refuses to acknowledge that some game have more legs than othersThe only reason people continue to create these threads is to perpetuate console warring. Full stop.
Retail sales in the UK really don’t mean **** for the most part anymore except to give a certain fanbase another thread to continue their warring in.
So if 80% of all UK sales are digital then we can assume, these numbers only represent 20% of the overall sales.It's about doing the ratios between physical and digital across both and then accounting for the final ratio between xbox and ps and the ratio of xbox and ps just for physical. That gives you the digital splits between xbox and ps. Then you can divide the digital xbox percentage by the total xbox percentages.
Happy to be corrected if I have fucked something up.
We know because you have to tell us every single day.Nintendo Switch games are dominating the chart.
Glad to see Shin Megami Tensei V on the list.
You lost the argument with Gamepass.Can we stop posting retail sales, its useless data at this point.
Series S + PC + gamepass are not included in this. Its completely pointless.
Well this not the first time SMT was on Nintendo system.It's so surreal, Switch is so far ahead even niche titles for it are getting to chart, It's like when you lap someone in Mario Kart at this point.
The game is so unique and strange that I'd love to know what the casual Mario Kart / Animal Crossing crowd who picked it up on a whim make of it. Probably scratching their heads and wondering if their copy of the game is possessed.
And this is a bad year for CoD tooAs always, CoD will be the best selling game of the year.
