UK Sales Charts: FIFA 19 and Red Dead Redemption 2 Continue to Sell Well During Quiet Week

I caved and bought RDR2 for my pro and i'm glad i did, really enjoying it and i'm only on chapter 2!

@Krest_arisen Seriously...

@Krest_arisen Considering many Nintendo fans didn't buy a Wii U and the Switch outsold the Wii U months ago, it makes sense for those games to sell like hot cakes.
Same could be said about Rockstar games which are always successful over several years across 2 generations of consoles. They are awesome, that's why.

I'm more surprised players still buy the exact same, copy and pasted game every single year with FIFA.

I'm still not surprised almighty GTAV is back. I mean I played it yesterday just to roam about and damn...the game is still so ahead!

Any word on how Vesperia did by platform?

@Krest_arisen they would do because it would still be good. Who wouldn't buy a good game?

@Knuckles-Fajita would also like to see individual platform sales for this too.

@Krest_arisen People are just happy to be able to play Nintendo games without having to hold a Fisher Price tablet in their hands.

@Krest_arisen "nintendo fans buy anything nintendo throws at them"

Allow me to take you back to 2015 and 2016...

I mean Besides BoTW if you wanna count that, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, or Splatoon 2 (if you wanna count those) would you consider playing a demo of Pokken buying a Wii U Port?

Cus I really don’t buy Wii U ports unless you wanna count BoTW, SSBU, & Splatoon 2... (Cus yes some will count those as Wii U Ports)

Hyrule Warriors: if I play that again I will fall asleep

NSMBUDX: No interest plus I played it on Wii U...

DKC: TF: Don’t care... love the meme with it tho

Pokken DX: Played the demo, don’t care to purchase.

Mario Kart 8 DX: Not muh thing... I suck at racing...

Bayonetta 1&2: Got it for a friend for his birthday... but that’s cus he likes the series...

@Krest_arisen although if you call it SUPAH MARIO BRUDDAHS 2 then people will buy it because Dunkey...

@Derpie1 "Cus I really don’t buy Wii U ports unless you wanna count BoTW, SSBU, & Splatoon 2... (Cus yes some will count those as Wii U Ports)"

I do 😉

@Krest_arisen "nintendo fans buy anything nintendo throws at them"

Ask how those 80 million Wii U owners felt about their purchase.
OH WAIT! Wii U barely sold 15 and was their worst performing console, my bad.

@Krest_arisen Yep, and at the full NEW game price of $60.

Nobody else can do this. All the other rehash games on Switch fail. But Slap "Nintendo" on the cover and SOLD!

Well, also there no big new game on Switch in Jan. This is it.

FIFA is the same game since FIFA 2006 and continues to sell like fresh water in a desert ...
Where is the logic?
I live in Brazil, so, as you know, soccer is a very popular thing here. A game here costs 25% of the minimum wage. FIFA was the best-selling game of the year here, and it was released in September.
I just don't understand.

@Knuckles-Fajita Apparently Vesperia sold best on Switch at 49%. Because Switch owners don't buy third party releases.

Good to see NSMBUD doing well. It's a really solid game, and deserved to release on a system people actually want to play on.

@Derpie1 I'd only count BotW as a port since the development started for Wii U. Splatoon 2 and Smash I wouldn't.

@Wesker great comment. Am true in my case. When i checkout the wii u on release. I said to myself this looks like a toy, not a console. Pass.
Switch looks like a console. Great buy.

@Agramonte in terms of exclusives it’s Dragon Marked For Death and Travis Strikes Again: NMH. That’s it

@3Above ok. There are valid reasons for each

Smash Ultimate: Engine wise uses SSB4 or at least you can see it and reuses a lot.

BoTW: Initially a Wii U title.

Splatoon 2: While a sequel is more like a half step sequel to some or mere DLC for the first game think Destiny 2... where it’s not too different from D1...

@Derpie1 ok, that's what I thought. Granted I played Ico and SotC for the first time on PS3 so it's not a reflection on how good a game is. But still a port is a port 🤷🏾‍♂️

@brendon987 same. I walked into the game store, picked up the demo booth controller, and said to myself ‘this hunk of junk will never live in my house’. Love the Switch though.

@Derpie1 Well, Dragon Marked for death is an abandoned PSP game and Easy Allies gave NMH a 5.5 rating.

NMH has name, but I would not consider either of those "Big New Game"

Nothing on the Switch worth buying at $60 if you own a PS4-PC I think (there simply better, bigger games on other platforms from Jan-March). Maybe end of March with Yoshi.

@Agramonte I’m only noting...

People are prob still gonna buy TSA: NMH....

Then again people are just waiting for that Nintendo Direct I suppose

@Derpie1 Yeah, we really need a Direct. Dying for any new news on DAEMON X MACHINA

Well, Think I read that he said if TSA: NMH sells well we have a better chance of getting NMH3. So hopefully it does.

I am $120 in the hole with Kingdom Hearts 3 and AceCombat in January. So not doing a Switch game this month.

@Agramonte there’s lots to see... although I do love it when Nintendo gives the middle finger to leakers and rumors which they just did recently... with the Jan 10th Direct rumor. That didn’t happen! Now people just straight up have no idea if a Direct is happening this month or not... it’s kinda like if Sony finds some random way to uppercut people w a surprise that wasn’t leaked or we straight up wasn’t expecting

@Derpie1 I get wanting to do that. But at least with SONY it is not a complete blackout.

I have pre-orders for KH3, AC7(PC), DMC5, Sekiro and Anthem(PC). I have things to look forward for on both PS4 and PC. And That is just Jan-March

There cant just be complete radio silence on big games for Switch. It is the 16th and nobody knows what is the big game for Feb.

@Agramonte more third parties there than anything

Right now I’m just playing MMOs on PC... but ya know I think it’s like both sides I really don’t have interest in much...but that’s me...
