The fighting game's launch sales are more than 55% lower than its predecessor. However, SoulCalibur V was released in 2012 when the physical games market was bigger and digital game sales were still in their infancy. 80% of SoulCalibur VI's sales were on PS4, with the remainder on Xbox One.

DANGERMAN Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I suspect digital is a big proportion, it seems to have been talked about more than the past few Soul Caliburs, but I guess there is the shadow of Red Dead hanging over everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmark Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Do fighting games sell much though? Even street fighter doesn’t hang around for long. I think it’s just how it is for the genre and hopefully they make money on it. Seems like these days like they see anything under 2 million as a failure. The business shall have the stats to know. Not surprised by starlink which stands out as the biggest failure here. They made a game then showed of how great it is for starfox fans despite it being multi format. Honestly without the starfox angle I wouldn’t be enjoying enough to fork out the asking price. The characters are so generic and one of them even really annoying.

HandsomeDead Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Yeah, SFV doesn't have the largest player base but it makes its money off DLC and passes. They play the long game and treat them like platforms. I can't see the sales being any worse than Tekkken 7 and that is still getting content.

DisturbedSwan Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 NPD (US) September Sales Data Quote “September 2018 tracked spending across video game Hardware, Software, Accessories and Game Cards grew 7 percent when compared to a year ago, to $1.4 billion. Accessory and Game Card spending was the primary driver of growth.” Powered by Any Total: $1.376 billion (up 7 percent from $1.285 billion in September 2017) Hardware: $306 million (down 3 percent from $316 million) PC and console software: $747 million (flat from 2017’s $744 million) Accessories: $323 million (up 43 percent from $225 million) Here’s how 2018 is comparing so far to 2017 in terms of year-to-date dollar sales: Total: $8.912 billion (up 16 percent from $7.706 billion in 2017 year to date) Hardware: $2.422 billion (up 18 percent from $2.056 billion) PC and console software: $3.877 billion (up 5 percent from $3.708 billion) Accessories: $2.613 billion (up 35 percent from $1.942 billion) Software chart NPD tracks physical sales at retailers, but it also gets digital data directly from publishers. But not every company participates. For example, Nintendo doesn’t share its first-party sales, and Activision Blizzard does not provide its Battle.net sales. These charts are sorted by dollar sales — not number of units sold. Marvel’s Spider-Man NBA 2K19 Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey FIFA 19** Shadow of the Tomb Raider Madden NFL 19** Forza Horizon 4 Destiny 2** Super Mario Party* NHL 19 Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age WWE 2K19 Grand Theft Auto V Mario Kart 8 Naruto To Boruto: Shinobi Striker Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege Crash Bandicoot: N.

Last year, Activision launched that sci-fi shooter to immediate blockbuster sales. Instead, a platform exclusive, a late-comer, and a pack of decent performers ensured that sales were only flat instead of down year-over-year. Spider-Man Spider-Man is the obvious standout success from September. Despite launching exclusively for PlayStation 4, it outperformed every other new multiplatform release for the month. It has also a top-chartered from a historical perspective. “Marvel’s Spider-Man, the best-selling game of September, achieved the highest launch month dollar sales for any PlayStation exclusive in history, and is the seventh largest launch ever achieved by any game on any PlayStation platform,” said Piscatella. “Marvel’s Spider-Man generated higher dollars sales in its launch than any other game this year and currently ranks as the third best-selling game of 2018, and the No. 8 best-selling game over the last 12 months.” Spider-Man’s web has tangled with video games from the beginning, but this one stands apart from that pack. It turns out that giving a team like Insomniac the time and budget to build a dream version of a beloved character is a sound investment. “Marvel’s Spider-Man achieved launch month sales 37 percent higher than the combined launch month sales of all other Spider-Man games released since The NPD Group began tracking in 1995,” said Piscatella. Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey launched October 5, and NPD’s September tracking period ended the next day. So this chart only has two days of sales. With that in mind, it was able to get near the top of the list. It also showed a distinct increase over its immediate predecessor. “Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey appears at No. 3 on the September charts with double-digit percentage dollar sales growth when compared to the launch of Assassin’s Creed: Origins a year ago,” said Piscatella. “Assassin’s Creed: Origins now ranks as the sixth best-selling game over the past 12 months.” NBA 2K19 The big annual basketball launch from 2K Games has once again deliver strong sales. “NBA 2K19 debuts as the No. 2 best-selling game of September, and instantly becomes the fifth best-selling game of 2018,” said Piscatella. “NBA 2K19 achieved the highest launch month dollar sales of any sports genre game released since The NPD Group began tracking the industry in 1995. NBA 2K19 represents the biggest launch of any game in the NBA 2K franchise, and it is now the best-selling sports game of 2018 year to date.” So yeah, it doesn’t seem like that franchise is slowing down at all. Forza Horizon 4 Meanwhile, the major Xbox exclusive for September launched to franchise records of its own. “Forza Horizon 4 achieved the highest launch month dollar sales in Forza franchise history and is the biggest launch for a racing game on any Xbox platform in history,” said Piscatella. “Forza Horizon 4 was the seventh best-selling game of September.” Shadow of the Tomb Raider While it seemed like Shadow of the Tomb Raider came and went, it posted some solid numbers. Not only did it reach No. 5 on the sales chart for September, it outsold the launch of the last game in the series. “[It achieved] the second highest launch month dollar sales for the franchise following only Tomb Raider, which launched in 2013,” said Piscatella. FIFA 19 And U.S. soccer fans continued to show up for FIFA as well. “FIFA 19 launches at number 4 on the September charts, with higher launch month dollar sales than any release in the franchise since FIFA 16,” said Piscatella. “And it had the third highest launch month dollar sales for any soccer game in history.

Spider-Man drove that growth. “PlayStation 4 hardware achieved the highest September unit sell-through for a non plug-n-play console since the PS4 in 2014,” said Piscatella. “Sony’s PlayStation 4 remains the best-selling console hardware platform year to date. The PS4 Slim System 1TB was the month’s best-selling hardware item in both dollars and units.” Xbox One The Xbox One is also doing well. Microsoft continues to generate more money from its hardware than it did in 2017. “Xbox One hardware dollar sales in September grew more than 30 percent when compared to a year ago,” said Piscatella. “And are now up more than 60 percent year to date.” And if you’re wondering if people are buying Xbox One S or Xbox One X systems, the answer is the latter. Xbox One X System 1TB Black is the best-selling Xbox bundle of the year. That’s for both units and dollars. Accessories and game currency cards Finally, for accessories, the category continues its explosive growth on the back of games like Fortnite. “Total spending on Accessories and Game Cards grew 43 percent in September 2018 when compared to a year ago, to an all-time high of $323 million,” said Piscatella. “Year to date, Accessories and Game Card spending has grown 35 percent when compared to a year ago, to $2.6 billion. This is also an all-time high, significantly exceeding the $1.9 billion generated in the 2017 year to date period.” People are also rushing with cash in their hands to get game currency cards at retail. And for the first time since NPD started tracking, game card spending has surpassed accessory spending in September and year-to-date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisturbedSwan Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 Red Dead redemption 2 become the second biggest retail launch of the year in UK, 27% of GTAV launch Quote UK retail sales figures are out for Red Dead Redemption 2 and while the title has sold very well indeed, it has failed to top FIFA 19, which remains the biggest week one release of the year. Second place is highly respectable of course, but with huge development costs, the game will need to successfully monetise its online service in order to be considered a success – by Rockstar standards at least. The title was never going to have the same draw as the company’s biggest franchise. And the games market is a very different place to 2013 when GTA V was released. But week one sales of 27 per cent of the biggest game launch of all-time is nothing to be sniffed at. We await a report on digital sales from Rockstar or parent Take-Two. Another way to look at the game is that RDR 2 claimed just over 60 per cent of the retail market this week, so the idea that no one was buying anything else this weekend is rather put to rest. Compare that to an incredible 89 per cent market share for GTA V on its launch week and you get an idea of how big it was out-of-the-blocks. More recent comparisons of 75 per cent for FIFA 19 and just 44 per cent for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 show RDR 2 is doing well, though not outstandingly so, in dominating public consciousness at launch.

DisturbedSwan Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 DONTNOD earning results from H1 FY2019 - Excellent Launch of LiS2 and Vampyr Translated by LordKano on ResetEra Quote - Consolidated revenue is up +5% compared to H1 2017, going from 4.4M€ to 4.7M€. - Operating income is massively down from +1617K€ in H1 2017 to -607K€ in H1 2018. This is due to them now having five teams in full scale production. - Net result is of -1033K€ in H1 2018 versus +1101K€ in H1 2017. - Overall it's going as they expected it. They're suffering losses because of game development costs and with most of their games releasing toward the end of their semester (note that DONTNOD fiscal year goes from January 1st to June 30th, then July 1st to December 31st). - Going public went very well from them. They've now got a capital of 31.6M€ with 27.7M€ available cash. - Second semester is expected to bring significant revenue with the continuated sales of Vampyr (which had an excellent launch in June). They confirm again that the game is going to release on Switch as well to reach a broader demographic. - Life is Strange 2 Episode 1 is off to an excellent start. They also mention the Metacritic score of 82+ and how it's superior to the first game, which makes them expect a big commercial success. - The team is pursuing development of Twin Mirror for Bandai Namco to release in 2019. It will be separated in three episodes to ensure longterm sales. - Finally, Project 6, 7 and 8 are still planned for 2020 to 2022. Project 6 is made for an unnamed publisher.
