http://www.dataspelsbranschen.se/media/151761/nordic_game_sales_2014.pdf

It's all in english even!

Some interesting tidbits:

Multiformat top 10:

1. FIFA 15

2. Minecraft

3. GTA V

4. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

5. FIFA 14

6. Battlefield 4

7. Watch Dogs

8. Far Cry 4

9. NHL 15

10. Lego Marvel Super Heroes

And I decided to include the eleven too: Destiny

 

PS3 total software sales (for the year of course): 2316258

PS4 total software sales: 1230901

Xbox 360 total software sales: 1111655

XBO total software sales (keep in mind it launched in september): 250485

Wii U total software sales: 239930

3DS total software sales: 308401 (:-o nearly below the Wii U, handheld gaming is quite dead here it would seem.)

PC total software sales: 1200375 (and that is retail :-o)

 

Some other interesting things:

GT6 is 9th place for PS3 games.

FIFA 14 (PS3) sold better than COD AW (PS3)

Destiny was the top selling XBO game, 7th best selling on the PS4 (most likely shifted more units on the PS4 though).

Bayonetta not in the top 10 for the Wii U. Hyrule Warriors is 5th though.

 

There's a shitload of more info in there, take a look!

Nice thread Teeqoz! Lots of interesting information here.

I have to say the Wii U figures are rather depressing, as are the 3DS. But aside from that it seems the market over there is reasonably strong which is a good sign .



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Yes, a very nice find!

Sad to see my fellow Scandinavians being so damn casuals :p fifa, cod and battlefield all over the place. Geez get some hardcore balls u blonde suckers!

I don't think Nintendo have been big here for quite some time sadly, but every one my age used to play their games.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Watch_Dogs is the only game from the top 10 that I own.



Don't copy random editorials.

The total value of the Nordic retail sales was €286,341,551 in 2014.

damn. PS4 software is about each of Wiiu and Xb1 software by a million. (almost a million in wiiu's case). thats some serious domination.



Interesting thread Teeqoz. Nice to see some numbers from my homeland.

4 small countries individually but a strong market combined (considering the combined population is only 26 mill).

 

 

Edit: Yes, banana. The nordic countries are definitely PlayStation Land. 360, Wii and DS were all very popular though.



Do they have hw numbers? Send the link to ioi. He says all 3rd party numbers help his refinement.

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

Watch Dogs, GTA V and Minecraft is the only ones I own (though GTA V and Minecraft are on PS3 and 360 respectively).

All in all the general taste is quite mainstream but at least it's better than the Brits' ;p



That is some interesting data.

Good to see the Playstation Domination there :). Also surprised to see that the 360 has quite a following but the One didn't quite follow up to a similar level.



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...
