I keep reading about weekly game sales and I'm constantly amazed how GTA V is always in the top 10. Most of the time it's even in the top 3, just like this week in the UK.

I am amazed by this also. Either it keeps selling big numbers or it doesn't take many units sold to be in the top 3 or so.

People buy an xb1 or PS4 and they purchase GTA V. 

Nintendo should paid whatever it took to get a GTA V port. It would of sold plenty on switch. 

Those weeks Japanese sales will be interesting. Splatoon 2 will sell bucket loads but how much hardware have they managed to supply to to the market? 

These supply issues don't look ending anytime soon.

Would the game even be able to run well on the Switch?

The 360/PS3 versions ran pretty well so it could run those fine or maybe a slightly gimped version of the current game.

Is the Switch Skyrim game the enhanced version or the 360/PS3 version? Did that even come out?

I guess they could just port over the old gen version of GTAV if they want to do it with the least amount of effort as possible.

I'm not actually sure. In the initial Switch reveal people seemed to think it was the old version but as I expect that was probably fake footage I think it could be the newer one at this point. I havent really followed it past the original trailers (own Skyrim too many times as it is!)

I'm pretty sure I read that it's not the definitive version.

Based on the IGN footage of it running on Switch, it is apparently the Special Edition (and sees to run very smoothly in portable mode at least).

Dragon Quest XI

2.08 million copies sold

3DS: 1.13 million
PS4: 950k

These numbers include DL card and console bundle sales, but doesn't include DL sales.

Disappointing result for the 3DS, but a fantastic result for PS4.  S-E really did release it far too late for 3DS... Makes you wonder how much Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon are going to suffer now...

 

Edit: Switch sold 90K last week in Japan!!! Halleluliah! It looks like Nintendo have finally started improving supplies of Switch consoles! :D

Wasn't this a PS4 only title then they realized that how stupid that would be and developed a 3DS version?

 

3DS sold 134k which is a real good bump off the back of DQ being released. 

Hopefully now we will see no more 25k switch weeks due to limited supply. 

That Ratsuken site said they sold 1000 splatoon bundles in 1 min lol. The thirst is real!!!

Hardware & accessories

“Year to date, hardware spending has grown 20 percent versus 2016 to $1.6 billion. Performance of the Nintendo Switch continues to be the primary cause of the year-on-year gains. Sony’s PlayStation 4 is the best-selling hardware platform year to date.

Accessories for the Nintendo Switch and Microsoft’s Xbox One drove spending growth. Gamepads were the top-selling accessory types for both platforms. Declines in the Interactive Gaming Toys (IGT) segment lessened in July. The IGT segment was down only 15 percent in dollar sales compared to July 2016.”

Ubisoft's founding Guillemot family has today acquired another 1.75% of the company's share capital by purchasing 2 million shares at an undisclosed price; at the current worth of 56.25 Euros per share, the Guillemots likely spent about 112.5 million Euros on the acquisition. As of June 27 the Guillemot family owned 13.6% of Ubisoft's share capital, and following today's share acquisition that number rises 15.35%, with the family owning 20.02% of the company's voting rights. As of June, Vivendi owns 27% of Ubisoft's share capital and 24.5% of its voting rights.


However Ubisoft won't come cheap--Reuters estimates that Vivendi may have to pay $6 billion to wrestle control of the company away from the Guillemot family. Vivendi's net cash plummetted to $540.355 million as of March 2017, down 1253% since 2015 where it had $7.31 billion net cash.

Good stuff! Keep Vivendi the hell away from a full buyout.

Wow... Marvel vs Capcom Infinite super bombed! Landing at No 16 on PS4 (Xbone version is completely absent from the charts), handidly outsold by Pokken DX (at No 5) and even the download codes for Pokemon Gold and Silver! (especially embarrassing considering that the download codes in a box were a limited edition release and the grand, grand majority of its sales were done via direct eShop downloads - triply embarrassing for that to happen in the UK, one of Nintendo's weakest markets even!).

 

Even Ultra Street Fighter 2 on Switch debuted higher than this! (No 10).  USF2 wasn't supposed to outsell MvsCI!!

 

Capcom have to be sweating profusely right now.  They're basically betting the farm on Monster Hunter World now...

Is this physical copies only?

It's all physical.  We don't get digital sales generally, except in special cases where publishers choose to release them (Nintendo tend to give some limited information for their US sales for instance) or where there's a limited edition release of a download code (like with Pokemon Gold/Silver VC here this week).

 

In Japan, Famitsu also track sales of download codes in physical stores (you can roughly guess their sales by contrasting them with Media Create), but that's it.  Otherwise we know nothing.
