"After two years of shortage, the arrival of substantial stocks of PlayStation 5 consoles boosted French purchases significantly, reaching 6.1 billion euros. With a 9.9% growth, nearly reaching pre-Covid levels, the French video game market now stands at 6.1 billion euros. The 5-billion-euro mark was surpassed in 2020."

Top 20 Games ranked by Units sold- (Physical + Digital)

Top 20 ranked by Revenue (Physical + Digital)

Some notable takeaways-

1. Mario wonder sold Twice as much as Spider Man 2 did but only made 8 million (euros) more in revenue.

2. Zelda tears of the kingdom only sold 220k more than mario wonder despite being on the market for nearly 6 additional months.

3. Gran Turismo 7, a game that came out in march of 2022 has outsold big 2023 releases such as-
Jedi survivor
Diablo 4
Crew motorfest
Resident evil 4
Mortal kombat 1
Final Fantasy 16
Avatar
Street fighter 6
Pikmin 4
Starfield
Call of duty modern warfare 2 (2022's COD)

Also, while TotK only outsold SMW by 220k or roughly 30%, it generated almost twice the revenue.

That $70 pricetag paying off, literally. Might not be good for legs, though.

Imprinted in small at the bottom but the chart does not include digital sales for Nintendo games, so the bigger titles like Super Mario Wonder probably coasted the million while TOTK was beyond it, most likely not far from the first place and beyond Hogwarts Legacy.

Truly, the Nintendo bastion in Europe !

Kinda funny to see Animal Crossing New Horizons in the charts

It's worth noting that 220k copies is a big amount in a market where the top seller for the year has 1,477k.

I would add to that the Special addition that TotK got, wonder did not.

EA Sports 24FC nearly a Billion Eur. FIFA must be kicking themselves at this moment by being to greedy with their new contract demands.

Europe did not see a price increase for Zelda (Breath of the Wild was/is also €70), so a lack of legs for TotK needs another explanation.

Okay so what's up

Why are countries putting out numbers now?

Spain? France? This is a change, but what caused the change?
