​

Nous collaborons avec la fédération depuis 2014. Depuis lors, notre champ d’action s’est considérablement développé en intégrant les données de l’Australie, la Nouvelle Zélande, le Japon ainsi que plusieurs pays d’Afrique et d’Asie. A l’exception des continents américains, nous couvrons aujourd’hui la quasi-totalité du marché.

Sparkers compte aujourd’hui 35 clients et une cinquantaine de collaborateurs, principalement ici, à La Hulpe mais aussi à Paris, Madrid, Londres, Sydney, Los Angeles et Erevan.

BTW they now are directly tracking Japan and Asia... the only big ones left are US and Canada.

Nous avons une opportunité d’encore élargir le scope de GSD, notre étude phare, en y intégrant les continents américains, dont les Etats-Unis bien sûr qui est le plus grand marché du jeu vidéo. La digitalisation du secteur favorise la centralisation des données auprès d’un acteur central et nous sommes très bien placé pour être cet acteur.​

The are tracking japan?

GSD track physical and digital right?

So we might get physical+digital charts for japan?

No totk.

This is a joke right?

It is digital only.
Nintendo seeks more at physical than digital.
PS5 games sells more at digital than physical.

This seems fishy, even off digital alone there’s no way TOTK should be outsold by these 2022 games…

Last I remember Nintendo never provides digital data to gsd.

You can see this when gbiz report the monthly charts for UK/Europe. Nintendo games always have a asterisk beside it saying digital data not available. Although I can't remember if it is for all titles or just first party titles.

That Hogwart Legacy boycott did wonders!

It's strange that there is not a single Nintendo game, maybe they don't sell that much digital?

“Boycott” when you know damn well that most of those who screamed loudest still bought it day one .

How does GSD get these numbers?

Ragnarok is absolutely killing it. A killer app indeed and a big part of Ps5’s continuing momentum. Very happy about that one. Well deserved and it’s gonna outperform all previous tentpole releases from Sony.

Nintendo provides 0 digital data of their games to GSD.

Nintendo games especially big titles have a good digital ratio. For example Zelda TOTK sold around 1.2 million units digitally in Japan in just 3 days.

Surprised to see Dead Space and NBA that high, but other than that zero surprises

xDD

As far as I know Nintendo is one of the few big publishers who doesn't provide their data to GSD.

How does GSD get these numbers?

Directly from the publishers. GSD is backed by Videogames Europe and the National Video Game Trade Associations of many countries, almost two dozen, mostly from Europe.

Regarding the digital data, publishers or developers can even grant them access to their account in the digital stores to collect the logs/data from the store databases. By doing that some publishers/devs don't even need to fill the forms, GSD takes it from there directly. Well, GSD not directly: there's Sparkers, an external company who processes the GSD data.

Surprised but happy to see Dead Space in the top 5. Good faithful remakes should be rewarded.

The Last Of Us Remake really did well in the end and should have done better on PC had they just delayed it and called on Nixxies for help.
