Keep in mind gaming hardware also includes PC gaming hardware (though not sure what falls under that classification in detail) According to VGChartz, the Physical Videogame sales in Germany went down by 8%, mostly because the 3DS and PC games lost a lot. But the losses of the 3DS are more than compensated by the meteoric rise Switch game sales and PC should just been moving to digital. Also keep in mind that with the move to digital sales in general the 8% drop would probably translate in flat sales overall. In other words, I believe that VGCharts German 2018 software sales are overtracked with this new data. MMO fell because WoW can't keep it's playerbase anymore. It's decline is slower in general because the game was growing in China for a while, but outside of it WoW is coming down very fast now. |
A bit confused but the 8% decline is for digital and physical software.
