True, hence why I got a 256GB SD card. Games are very rarely discounted here in the stores, so most of my games are digital-only. It's simply not worth it buying in the stores if you pay 20%-80% more than digitally |
Interesting in Australia it's the opposite most new edition standard physical games retail around $30.00 under digital pricing usually around $79/89.00 mark compared to $109/119.00 for digital.
Research shows Video games help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

What the fudge ?! That's such a huge advantage for you. We'd never get that here in Canada. Digital and physical pricing are in most cases always on parity.

In Brazil the MSRP is basically the same but you can get 10-20% discount pre-ordering and paying on pix/upfront.

Super Mario wonder still no. 1 in U.K. Spiderman 2 down to no. 3. Hopefully we will get some indication of SMW sales tomorrow in the Nintendo report.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

I'm actually more surprised for SM2 to being able to held 3 weeks on the TOP 3, it is holding much better than expected, first month sales will likely be great.

I'm sure they will, as physical sales are only a small amount of total sales in places like the U.K.

javi741 said: Not a major surprise, UK tbh is one of the weaker countries for Nintendo, it wasn't until very recently the Switch outsold the Xbox One over there which is wild to say since it felt like an eternity since the Switch outsold the Xbox One globally. Compared to NSMBWii, Wonder's launch physical sales are about the same in the opening period with 79,000 copiers sold. It's good to remember though this doesn't include digital sales of Wonder so if we were to assume the ratio stays the same with 50% physical sales and 50% digital sales, Wonder had a launch most likely that was twice as big as NSMBWii, which is impressive. Also, in pretty much every country Mario Wonder is remaining the top video game seller in Amazon beating spiderman 2. I expect Wonder to fair much better worldwide than in the UK. |
Pretty much nailed this prediction here, in December Mario Wonder sold more than it did in its launch month in October which is definitely very impressive evergreen sales. Even though the game launched in October 20th and had 11 days to sell compared to 31 days in December, most other big games tend to have the majority of their sales within the first week or two of release, for Mario Wonder to sell more two months after release is highly impressive and proves how much bigger Mario is as an evergreen title. The Mario fanbase doesn't contain as many diehard hard-core fans who'd buy the game Day 1, but encompasses a much broader consumer base of more casual fans who'd pick it up once they here about it or get the opportunity to purchase it which is why Mario games tend to be much bigger evergreen games than others.
UK annual sales just came out and spider man still beating mario wonder of course digital and bundles it included.
