Forums - Sales Discussion - UK Entertainment Retailers Association 2017 Charts - Game sales compared to movies & music

Digital games must be getting close to that 50% mark. It was around 20-30% a few years ago.

Strange. I will make up a text version but it will take awhile.

It's working now.

I'm surprised no Nintendo games are there since for 2017 the top 3 selling games on Amazon were all Nintendo. 



Wait, I thought music sales were in the their way down in retail, how did an album manage to be the best selling entertainment item on that list?



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Crash Bandicoot managing to match Destiny, Battlefront and Assassin's Creed is glorious to my eyes.

Roll on the true Crash Bandicoot 4.

boxed software will be up next year or down?






Woah, AssCreed outsold both Star Wars and Destiny. Well deserved achievement.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

The success of the remaster will certainly pave the way for Crash 4

Hard to say. It was up this year, but that was largely because CoD WW2 way outperformed CoD IW last year.

Well expect it to be down, because it went only up with 24 million that's less than like 500.000 boxed software. I expect the digital rate goes up + xbox software will be down thanks to xbox game pass.






Does this include bundled SW?

I ask because we seem to consistently see one of the Forza's ahead of GT Sport. But here it is clear that GT Sport outsold Forza by a lot.

And here: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2018-01-12-revealed-the-best-selling-uk-boxed-games-of-2017

GT Sport is ahead of Tom Clancy, but in this chart Tom Clancy beat it by 90k.
