Good idea for a thread. Imma deffo gonna tag! :D

Can you add a column with the boost in %?

ok ill add it next to total sold for week of release

An actual extra column would be cool though. That way you could copy it to your nearest excel and sort by either absolute numbers or percentages.

thats a good sugestion but since I am pretty bad with stuff like that

I might just keep it like this



Bets:

(Won)Bet with TechoHobbit: He(Techno) says 10 million by January 1,2014 I say 9 million by then. Winner gets 2 weeks of sig control.

(Lost)Bet with kinisking: I say Ps4 will win April NPD while he says Xbox One will win it; winner gets 1 week of avatar control.

Raichu's First Series:

First RPG?

First Fighter?

First Racer?

First Shooter?

First MMO?

First Horror?

Great list! Maybe you should add 3DS boosts too.

So MK8 gave the biggest boost for a console? Neat

Bad at adding another column?

It's really easy. Just make your table in a spreadsheet(like excel) and copy paste. VGC will automatically parse it as table.

Regarding the FIFA 15 boost for Xbox One... Wasn't that the same week Xbox One launched in multiple Tier 2 countries?

Some these boosts man. Mario Kart 8 just boosting WiiU sales 354% like it's nothing.

This is really cool!

However, I think a *note* category needs to be considered. For example, games launching closer to the holidays might have inflated spikes and need to have that noted. Smash Bros. Wii U, Halo MCC, and LBP3 are definite examples of high-profile exclusives falling so close to the holiday shopping rush that their boosts are inflated by ordinary boosting in that time.

Great idea for a list but it's going to be hard to accurately say how much some games boost weekly sales when they are releasing on the same day as other games.
