Nordic Game Sales 2013
Nordic Game Sales 2013
Retail & Digital
PREFACE
With the Wii U celebrating one year on the market, 2013 was the year when we began to see the full spectrum of the next
generation, as both Sony and Microsoft started transitioning toward PlayStation 4 and Xbox One respectively – a new era of
HD consoles. Worldwide, PS4 was perhaps the most successful console release in history, selling over one million units on its
first day, growing to 4,2 by the end of 2013, clearly showing us the fervent demand for next-gen AAA gaming. The Xbox One
has also performed spectacularly well, selling one million units within the first 24 hours of release, a figure growing to three
million in January 2014.
The PS4 game sales reported in this year’s report are naturally somewhat limited, both by the fact of the console releasing
late in the year – in November – and the reality that the console is still in scant supply, if not completely sold out, at several
locations. Awaiting new shipments of hardware, the console’s software sales have still been an important factor in revitalizing
the console market.
The PS4’s older sibling – the PS3, has meanwhile performed very well considering the general decline of brick and mortar
sales, and clearly stands out in this report by its marginal decrease in volume and increase in value. Add the console’s digital
market place in the mix and you have a more than decent year for ushering in its successor. The Nintendo 3DS is another
platform that maintains momentum.
Microsoft’s Xbox One is yet to be released in the Nordic region, although that hasn’t stopped publishers from already selling
the actual games. However, we will wait until official release before presenting sales numbers on the format.
Evident is that the next generation of consoles have been tailored to a digital world, incorporating more connectivity
including streaming and various online and social services. Meanwhile, many publishers start to noticeably broaden their
catalogues in order to reach out to more audiences, be it with mobile or various online ventures, adapting to ever changing
consumer habits.
Although several franchises continued on strongly, like Battlefield, Assassin’s Creed and Call of Duty, the newest entries
have initially not surpassed their predecessors. This can in large parts be attributed to the ongoing console transition, where
consumers tend to prep for upcoming releases. Still, 2013 follows the now classic formula of seeing the release of a new game
that beats previous records and installs itself as the biggest ever entertainment release in history. Last year, it was Grand Theft
Auto V, grossing one billion dollars in just three days, beating blockbuster films like The Avengers by more than two weeks.
Video Games are clearly taking their place as the number one entertainment industry.
Today’s globalized society is a chapter of its own. With increasing e-commerce, an undetermined chunk of the retail space
seeps out to other regions. This doesn’t necessarily thwart the industry as such, but may redistribute traceable sales to nonintended regions.
The big news of this year is that we are presenting an estimate of digital sales numbers for the first time. Based on a tailored
report by the American market intelligence company SuperData Research, this digital outlook together with physical sales
reported by Gfk presents a more complete picture of the Nordic market. This picture totals nearly one billion euro, far more
than any previous figure reported in Nordic Game Sales (read more about digital sales on page 8-9).
ABOUT NORDIC GAME SALES
Nordic Game Sales is an
annual report compiled by
analyzing data provided by Gfk
Entertainment. The analysis is
carried out in cooperation with
the Nordic trade associations.

THE REPORT
The physical sales numbers are compiled by Gfk Entertainment and based on sales reported by retailers in Sweden, Norway,
Denmark and Finland. Hardware sales or time cards are not included in this report. Neither are sales of peripherals, hardware
or out-of-region e-commerce.
Digital Data
The digital numbers are not, unlike retail sales, based on actual sell-through data by Gfk. They are instead taken from an
estimate by American company SuperData Research. The digital overview was informed by transaction data from the Nordic
region (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland) that totaled 804 826 unique digital paying gamers that in aggregate have
made 1,957,231 digital game transactions over the 2011-2013 period. A majority, about 70 percent, were transacted in 2013.
Historical Data
Please note that numbers from reports earlier than 2010 are not directly comparable to current estimates. This is due to
different methods, with other conditions since the co-operation with Gfk. Before, data was based on net sales converted to
consumer expenditures, i.e. extrapolated distributor figures rather than actual sales to the end consumer. With the transition
to Gfk, we have communicated sale-through numbers, more accurately reflecting the consumer market. For an up-to-date
picture of historical data, see page 15. The changes in historical numbers compared to last year’s report is a result of updated
exchange rates.

Pan-European Game Information (PEGI) is a
rating system that was established in 2003 to help
European parents make informed decisions when
purchasing videogames. Age classification labeling
talks about a game’s suitability and reveals nothing
about the difficulty level or quality of a game.
