janedoe on 14 January 2016

will the uk physical software market fall below 2 billion next year? i could see that happening

beside fifa, no major game will be released on last gen
wii u should drop off significantly even further

all other consoles and even pc (physical retail) is on a decline

I LOVE GIGGS on 14 January 2016

Halo 5 > Metal Gear 5 > Dying Light > Just Cause 3 > Forza 6 > Mortal Kombat 10 > Destiny: TTK > Tomb Raider

Does anyone have estimates for sales numbers for these games? Upper and lower limit at least?

well yeah... a bigger install base and fewer large retail alternatives will do that.

THATS the point isnt it?

Yes, just like X1 having launched bigger exclusive having more exclusives on the list.

Exactly.

There is nothing that isnt obvious here, more and bigger exclusives have released on Xbox ONE, hence the chart. PS4 had a poor year for exclusives of note.

Next year will probably be different.

If it isn't it will be quite strange

On UK? apparently not.

Wait are you comparing Bloodborne to Halo, Forza, Gears, Tomb Raider?

Not all of them. The consoles are not listed by best seller.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287
