Fifth is a flop lol, sooner or later you got to wrap your mind around the differences in markets. Else next you will claim a fps is a flop for a low top ten Japan rankings.  5th in US for a Euro content have racer is prety damn good considering the games above.


its a flop  to some guys expectations with 70% digital sales because of the cheaper ps+ download version.

 

us october ps4 sales according to chartz (1 week missing):

nba2k15: 381k
driveclub: 195K
fifa 15: 46k

nba2k15 10% digital attachrate: 38k
driveclub 10% digital attachrate: 19,5k
driveclub 20% digital attachrate: 39k (but driveclub is way behind nba2k15 and not above)

 

so yes. driveclub bombed hard to be digital seller (at least in the us)
its either that, or the physical sales for driveclub in the us are WAY overtracked...

Or all the numbers you are using are bad guesses,  and your entire basis for your agument hinders on really bad numbers.

All you got is its #1 in Europ to be expected and 5th in NA noting suprising given its NA and a racer.

OP needs to learn that european countries doesn't have the same exactly taste as NA's.

look to FIFA/MADDEN sales for example


u need to learn im beware of that.
its not about different taste. its about digital attachrate. and driveclub faild hard in the us to be a digital seller compared to retail sales, or vgc is heavily overtracking driveclub retail sales. (btw has vgc driveclub at 195k in us AND europe)

but we cant figure anything out for eu, becaus when driceclub is frist, it can be at 10%, 20%, 30%, 50%, or even 70% digital attachrate, it would not change the place.

 

here u got some old threads, where people shout out how well this game will do (including digital)

I would be curious to see how many units its selling!

I have the game and I really like it, it deserved much better reviews, despite the problems.

maybe rename it #DRIVECLUB

However, when they work, I like those challenges left by random players! it gives me a reason to finish all races and drive clean...

I see no one claiming anything big NA sales wise, your hard on hate for DC is making you look foolish aka 5th is a flop.  get over it.

lol yeah. welcome to vgc.
yes im not the head of sony and done have the exact numbers, like everyone else.
doesnt change the fact, that this games did not sell well digitally in the us

 

and the fact, that this game has either a low digital attachrate, or is hevily overtracked in the us, is a fact
it cant be tracked well and has a high digital attachrate. thats just impossible



We're calling it a flop based on...

Why don't you come back to me when you have some hard data.

You dont even have a good guess what DC sales are in NA, let alone its digital attach rate.  Only fact is you have none and your argument is weak.

DC could be double in Europe and 1/3 rd in NA, thats how well they track sale near xmas.  Get legit info before making half assd claims.  



It has outsold forza horizon, and racing games are more popular in Europe.... Hardly surprising. You have zero knowledge to know it is a flop.
