Aside from a lone PS4 version of PowerPros. It's just the Switch show on the charts right now. Wonder how it'll look by the holiday season. I feel like most western published releases won't have much staying power as usual leading to the top charts lead by the upcoming new Nintendo releases again.

Despite the Switch selling like crazy, Mario kart 8 is only in the 13 million range? Or is this a different iteration of it. Wikipedia says it sold like 62 million. But searching on vgchartz I onlybsee this one.

People are getting tired of it, or because it is just a directors cut basically of the Wii U version.

I would have to search what they added to the Switch version.

Edit: not sure, rusty on site, especially on mobile.

Oh hey, Spurge is back!

Weekly sales updates have stopped several years ago, so the numbers you see there ain't up to date. Better look here.



Oh God why? Who used to enter the numbers? I forget, did they leave the site?

We couldn't track digital sales, so the software estimates were missing more and more of the sales as time went on. 80% of PlayStation software sales last quarter were digital. It has to be even higher for Xbox. 

We now post official sales / shipment figures from publishers and developers when they become available.

Oh good. Yes, even when I left that was becoming harder and harder.

You would think for shareholders it would be a regular thing to share all game sales, even digital on a regular basis.

They don't care about unit sales.  Investors care about overall revenue/profit.  



To the privileged, equality feels like oppression.

You can find the latest software figures either on the "Latest Software Updates" on the front page or just search for whatever game you are looking for on the GameDB. If you are wondering the "Ser" / "Series" figures are sales numbers for entire series and "All" is the combined sales of all versions of a particular game. https://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/

Thank you @trunks. Yes In Have been seeing the "Ser" as I look at my favorite games and have seen Machina post numbers in game chat or whatever it is called.

Thank you
