Bundle sales were included in Europe and the rest of the world. Please take a look at the leg below Mario Wonder without launch week sales in Japan: 595k vs Spider-man 2: 30k. In Europe, even without digital sales and bundles, Mario Wonder is destroying Spider-man 2 effortlessly and has a much better leg than Spidey 2. NPD sales were definitely not painting the real picture of Wonder, with a higher ASP for Spider-man 2 and a digital sales exclusion for Mario Wonder. You will be shocked when, at the end of 2023, Mario Wonder is going to sell around 15 million units and Spider-man 2 around 10 million units. Mario Wonder is going to sell around 3 million units in Japan alone this quarter. |
GSD numbers (monthly) don't include bundled software. Here is an article last year from GI.biz:
"Regular readers might note that Horizon: Forbidden West, which dominates the weekly physical charts (from GfK), doesn’t factor at all in the monthly software figures (from GSD). This is because this monthly chart does not factor in console bundles, while the weekly chart does".
Mario will still win though.
