Forums - Sales - VGChartz Store LTD sales percentages.

The VG Chartz store is an Amazon-based online store which offers visitors to VG Chartz the option to buy all of their favourite games, dvds, music and electrical goods from Amazon through VG Chartz. As well as helping to support VGC, these online sales are trackable and provide a sample of Amazon-based retail trends.

Check out the VG Chartz Amazon Store: http://vgchartz.com/astore.php.

The best way to make these charts more and more representitive is to use the store - vgchartz also measures game-related activity across all titles available in the store (clicks, wanted lists etc) which is used to estimate "purchase intent", even when a sale is not actually completed.

Since everyone wants to know what sells on the VG Chartz store below is a LTD percentages of the categories for purchased items.

Category Percent of Total Sales
Computer & Video Games 55.45
Books 13.4
DVD 11.53
Cell Phones & Service 9.66
Electronics 4.05
Toys & Games 1.87
Other 1.87
Health & Personal Care 0.93
MP3 Downloads 0.62
Music 0.62

Interesting tidbits:

Videogames take the majority of sales as expected, but there were quite a few interesting purchases. 9 out of the top 10 videogame related purchases were for a Nintendo System.

Cell phones stands out with a large 9.6% sales, all of which were iPhone accessories.

only 2 different books were purchased more than once, one of which was coin collecting related.

21% of "DVD" purchases Blu-ray discs.

Someone might be into cosplay, but he/she needs to purchase more before I draw conclusions




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

can you not give us LTD sales please....or is it confidential or sumthing?



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Well, I can, but only if ioi says it is ok. I don't know if he wants to post the numbers. They aren't fantastically high or anything like that, but I don't know how confidential he wants to keep them.

If sales pick up I'll see about posting a weekly/biweekly sales chart like ioi did before.

OK who bought the dildo?

What game is the best selling? Wii Fit?



I was actually thinking about what happened to this "feature" today. It's a coincidence that it just popped up.

Expect a couple sales in the future from my part..... -_

no dildo, but fitness related things. I think it went along with the Wii Fit craze.

I think so. Either that or Mario Kart.

Hopefully it will be able to make a comeback.
