Black Ops Friday
09/Nov/2015
2015 so far reveals there have never been more games released on a Tuesday (25 and counting, previous record was 2012 with 17 for the whole year), but Activision's ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops III’ forsakes Tuesday for Friday for the first time since 2009 / 6 iterations ago.
So 'Black Ops III' launched Friday 6th November and UK gamers had to divide their disposable income between fireworks, the Treyarch-developed first person shooter and the continued wallet-drain of ‘Spectre’ at the cinema. However, ‘Black Ops III’ explodes on to the scene at No1 and in terms of revenue generated in week 1 (regardless of release day) ‘Black Ops III’ ranks at No14 amongst all titles. Compared to other Call of Duty titles this is the 7th in terms of week 1 takings, though of course all of those above it benefited from 5 days of sell-through in week 1 (UK charts run Sun-Sat).
The Gen 8 (PS4/Xbox One) transition is overwhelming with 91% of sales units coming from these 2 formats (compared to 68% for last year’s ‘Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’). EA’s ‘FIFA 16’ climbs 1 place to No2 (-7%) and EA have the only other new entry at No3 as ‘Need For Speed’ arrives for PS4/Xbox One. Microsoft’s ‘Halo 5: Guardians’ drops from No1 to No4 (- 78%) and Ubisoft’s ‘Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate’ drops 3 places to No5 (-55%). There are numerous re-entries due to various retailer promotions, most notable of which is Nintendo’s ‘Mario Kart 7’ back in at No14 (+898%).

Malo kasnim sa temom, al nema veze. Neće pobjeć.
Vostalom, Black Ops 3 očekivano. Naspram prijašnjih COD-ova prodao se najmanje u tjednu izlaska, ali, on je imao samo 2 dana za prodaju prošli tjedan, dok su COD-ovi prije imali po 5 dana prodaje u tjednu izlaska. Iako je COD sad pod PS4 marketinškom kampanjom, veza sa Xboxom je i dalje snažna. Raspodječa prodaje po platformi :
PS4 48%
XB1 43%
360 5%
PS3 3%
A sad, dal bi COD prestigao neki prijašnji COD po prodaji da je imal 3 dana više, ne znam. Znat će se bolje idući tjedan dal će COD BO3 imat mali pad i ili povećanje prodaje.
Vostalom, usporedba sa prijašnjin COD-ovima:
CALL OF DUTY 4: MODERN WARFARE (ACTIVISION) -
CALL OF DUTY: WORLD AT WAR (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) -
CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 2 (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) - 1,780,000
CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) - 2,000,000
CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 3 (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) - 1,970,000
CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS II (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) - 1,540,000
CALL OF DUTY: GHOSTS (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) - 690,000
CALL OF DUTY: ADVANCED WARFARE (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) - 730,000
CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS III (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) - 635,000
Halo 5 očekivano doživio pad prodaje nakon izlaska BO3. Dakle, 78% bi bilo oko 33 000 + prošli tjedan od 150 000. Kako su se FPS-i prodali na Xboneu u tjednu izlaska :
1. Call of Duty: Black Ops III - 273,500
2. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - 233,600
3. Halo 5: Guardians - 150,000
4. Destiny - 150,000
5. Titanfall - 125,000
6. Halo: Master Chief Collection - 96,000
7. Battlefield: Hardline - 49,000
Trkalice su u điru. Ima ih sad u listi - Forza 6, Driveclub, Mario Kart i novopridošlica Need For Speed. Prodao se u oko 57 000. Raspodjela je 2 : 1 u korist PS4
PS4: 67%
XB1: 33%
Ludi Mario Kart je doživio veeeeliki procvat prodaje nakon mnogih promocija i slično. Gotovo 900%. Lijepo bome. Kao što sam i rekao prošli tjedan, MGS V ispao iz UK liste.

UK games retail banks on blockbusters as sales stumble
Call of Duty, Fallout and Star Wars Battlefront must deliver if UK games retail is to turn around a difficult 2015.
According to GfK Chart-Track data, physical UK game sales are down 8.5 per cent so far this year. October was a particular disappointment, with sales slumping 24 per cent compared with 2014.
But the real challenge has been in the console space. UK stores tell MCV that console sales are down by almost 20 per cent this year.
“It’s a real worry, all the estimations at the start of the year was that 2015 would be one of growth,” reminded one head of games at a major UK retailer.
“The big games are launching later than usual, and we’re banking a lot on Black Ops III, Fallout 4 and Star Wars Battlefront to deliver the revenue.”
His opinion echoes that of GAME CEO Martyn Gibbs, who told MCV: “If you look at the release schedule year-on-year, we had Destiny and Shadow of Mordor come out earlier in 2014. This year we have Battlefield, Call of Duty and Fallout in November, so the way we’ve expected things to phase is that September and October would be softer, and November stronger.”
Black Ops III launched last Friday to solid – if unspectacular – results (at least by Call of Duty standards).
The physical UK games market generated £50m last week, according to GfK Chart-Track, and one games store told MCV that software sales alone could hit £250m this month.
