Forums - Sales - European Software Sales: 2014 Top 20 Half-Year Software Chart! (Includes Watchdogs 2mil+ /Titanfall/MK8....

It's worth noting that these numbers don't cover Europe as a whole. Only 20 countries, with quite a few small ones not accounted for. Still it's probably like 90% of it.

Nice for WD and BF4, MK8 can't compete despite the French being crazy about it.

Impressed by Thief though, I thought it had bombed pretty much. Just Dance legs are weak, time for Ubi to get rid of the casual stuff.


Just Dance sold more units than Thief!

Some comparisons are wrong and unfair, the one you just did is definitely one of the them (1). And besides MK8 will obviously the some of the best legs this gen. Think your statement is premature (2) like when you were calling Tomodachi (a new ip + niche and very japanese oriented) a flop in Europe+US cuz of FW, yet here we are with some of  the best legs of the year :-/

(1) I must object : MK is one of the best-selling franchises ever, and WD is a new IP, it's the challenger. The comparison definitely holds.

(2) WD shipments still grow faster than MK8's afaik


Its worth noting your not taking everything into account.  MK8 is on WiiU. It shipped 2.85mil in one month (on a 6.65mil usrbase).

Anybody can say things without thinking how overall things really are. MKWii has amazing sales 35mil+ but its the worse MK console game and only sold thay high cuz it was on Wii. This is why obviously every game from wii to wiiu will go down. SSBM is much more impressive than SSBB in sales despite It being the #1 best selling fighting game ever.

I mean anybody can compare Vita games to 3DS and majority of the time it wont be unfair right? MK8 has done extremely well, surprised alot of people. (despite it not pushing HW which was Sad).

GT6 way UNDERTRACKED!
Also Minecraft PS3 way undertracked. 360 version is overtracked


Minecraft 360 on the list 515,111

VGC Europe:

1st Jan 903,028

28th June 1,405,792

Total 502,764 that is within 2%.  Its bang on.

 

GT6 80k undertracked, not a big difference.  Still a relative sales flop for a GT game... understandably given the cash grab nature of it.

I cant believe how badly Minecraft has done on PS3.  Not that I really get Minecraft huge sales on 360 and elsewhere.

 

 

 

 

The numbers don't represent Europe as a whole. But MC is likely close. Don't know why I thought that. 

GT6 is more than 80k undertracked though. We show 357k as of the end of July (for the whole Europe) while this shows 438k for 20 European countries as of the end of June. I'm sticking with 150k

@Minecraft PS3: Uhm, it launched at the end of May this year on PS3. It's been outselling the 360 version quite easily in Europe so far.

That's quite a high attachment rate of Titanfall in Europe.

Are they including bundled games? How can they calculate their value?

GT6? meh, its slightly undertracked in the grand scheme of things. So it might be at 2.55m rather than 2.4m.  Still got a way to go for this though...  (in the spirit of the recent bumping trend that I know you enjoy)

 

 

and boy was this optimistic....

 

 

 

Of course minecraft PS3 has been outselling the 360 version since its launch... The 360 version has sold over 12 million already.  lol

So for a franchise traditionally undertracked on this site since forever (anybody remember the 1 million adjustment to GT5 hahaha, or the fact that GT5:P is still 1 million undertracked and the PSP GT undertracked about the same) I really wouldn't surprise me if it was closer to 400k undertacked world wide, if not more. Still not brilliant for a GT game but really it was just the cash grab to fund GT7 on the PS4, just like how GT5:P was a cash grap to fund GT5, which makes me surprised to see that they haven't made a definitive version for PS4 (which is what a lot of people have been waiting for), or even more surprising (as I doubt Sony would want Drive Club competing with GT6) ported the premium content to the PSV for another easy million or so sales of off the GT5 assets.

Edit: Titanfall is probably 100-150k overtracked as we have cumulative sales at 870k. Could be more if digital pc sales are counted in this?

Infamous is about right.

Thief is about right.

Mario Kart 8 maybe 70-80k overtracked

Wolfenstein maybe 100k?

That's about all I can be bothered checking ATM.



^^ BTW Minecraft sold 1Million Digital sales only on PSN the first month. Both version are between 2-3M WW, a success for a late port imo.



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

ummm, is it just me or is the chart not fully in order?


The 2 Minecraft releases are both 19 as thercombined sales are more than just dance 2014.  The reason there seperate is they have different publishers so the sales data comes from different companies.

MK8 overtracked.
As of June 30th, VGC has it at 473k vs 416k.
But VGC is undertracked compared to Nintendo's 2.82 million (shipped + digital). My guess is very high digital sale numbers.

Media control GfK doesn't count sales from console bundles, but VGC does.
