Confesso que não parei para traduzir, mas deixo em negrito alguns dados que dá para entender o conteúdo.
São dados de vendas de jogos em 2015 no Reuni Unido (UK), lembrando que é o 5º ou 6º mercado de jogos do mundo (disputa aí com a Alemanha). O do Japão já saiu há uns dias, tudo dentro do esperado. Falta ver o dos EUA. E o da Alemanha, seria interessante também.
Resumindo:
- Embora teoricamente (o artigo afirma não saber exatamente o quantitativo de cada marca) o PS4 tenha um número bem superior a XBox One por lá, as vendas de jogos são bem próximas (o X1 perde em ca. 6%).
- Mostra um declínio de vendas de jogos da geração passada.
- Halo 5 Guardians foi o exclusivo mais vendido (considerando que os demais são multiplataforma, e que o XBoe One tem menor número que o principal concorrente, parece que ele vendeu bem por lá). Pelo visto foi fracasso mesmo. Se a MS quiser me vender a franquia dou R$1,00 e um saco de big-big.
- Foram 5 jogos da MS no Top 50, além de Minecraft (2 vezes, nos consoles da MS e nos consoles da Sony, acho que a Mojang dá lucro, né?) e Rise of the Tomb Raider (ué, não tinha vendido mal? entrou no ranking mesmo tendo sido lançado no final do ano. hmmm. estranho isso).
- Publishers (participação no mercado em % de unidades vendidas):
1 - EA - 19.5 per cent.
2 - Activision Blizzard - 13.1 per cent.
3 - Warner Bros. 9.5 per cent.
4 - Ubisoft - 7.6 per cent
5 - Take-Two (including Rockstar) - 6.9 per cent
6 - Nintendo - 6.6 per cent, (contra todas as expectativas, está indo bem)
7 - Bethesda and Microsoft - 5.9 per cent.
8 - Sony - 5.7 per cent.

50 best-selling video games of 2015 revealed
The PS4 is beating the Xbox One by 6.6% in terms of software sales in the UK, as EA is named the biggest publisher.
There aren’t too many surprises in this list of the top-selling games of last year, but what is interesting is the other statistics Chart-Track have revealed about the UK games market.
The headliner is that the PlayStation 4 has a per unit software market share of 36.3 per cent in the UK, compared to 29.7 per cent for the Xbox One. That’s absolutely not the same as how many consoles have been sold of each, but it is the closest we’re ever likely to get.
Last gen software sales were rapidly falling away to nothing in 2015, but for the record the Xbox 360 is on 12.5 per cent, followed by the PlayStation 3 on 7.1 per cent, 3DS on 4.8 per cent, PC on 3.6 per cent, and Wii U on 3.5 per cent (this is according to retail rather than digital sales, which is why the PC percentage is so low).
Chart-Track made the information public via trade paper MCV, showing that total revenues for the year were down from £2.3 billion in 2014 to £2.1 billion last year. As ever none of that takes into account digital sales, so you’re not getting (and probably never will get) the full picture.
Console sales were also down though, from £915 million to £689 million, which might seem odd given how well the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are doing but is because of the natural collapse of the last gen market.
In terms of the top 50 (it’s usually a top 100 but that’s all that was made public this year) it’d already been revealed what the top four were, and in any case they were pretty easy to guess. In fact it’s a little disheartening to see how predictable the entire top 50 is, with only three new IPs in the entire list being Dying Light at number 19, Evolve at number 40, and Project CARS at number 43.
For comparison’s sake you can find the UK top 100 of 2014 here, the UK top 100 of 2013 here, and the UK top 100 of 2012 here. It’s also interesting to contrast the list with the Japanese top 50 of 2015, which we reported on earlier today.
Finally, in terms of publishers EA had the biggest market share by units sold, at 19.5 per cent. That’s no surprise and neither is Activision Blizzard in second place at 13.1 per cent. The big winner of 2015 though was Warner Bros., who thanks to titles such as Dying Light, Mortal Kombat X, Batman: Arkham Knight, and the Lego games shot up the league table to number three and a 9.5 per cent market share.
As a result Ubisoft was pushed down to 7.6 per cent, with Take-Two (including Rockstar) on 6.9 per cent, Nintendo on 6.6 per cent, Bethesda and Microsoft both on 5.9 per cent, and Sony on 5.7 per cent.
