Gears of War: E-Day sales for October 5-11 reached 3,685 units in Spain. It's the 3rd place in the national sales for the games. It shows an interesting fact about Xbox and how physical copies still work on the platform.
Physical discs dominate Gears of War: E-Day sales in Spain
When you think about Xbox sales, everyone assumes that digital downloads are going to dominate. Well, here's one game to prove the contrary.
The action game was released for the Xbox family by The Coalition. Let's take a look at the sales numbers. So, the report is about the sales for October 5-11.
It's in Spain. The game was 3rd in the general sales for this specific week. Even for the digital-forward platform, it's an interesting success story.
The total sales volume was 98.6% physical copies on the disc. So, during this period, 3,635 physical copies were bought. Digital copies are only 50 units.
It's 1.4% for the market share. So, the distribution is quite different from what we expect in the Xbox world.
It's interesting because it's also against the idea that Xbox players would mostly go for digital. Normally, the majority of console sales are driven by Game Pass and digital shops. However, it's not the case here. People still care about physical copies of games.
We've been following the development of the game Gears of War: E-Day. For example, the story about Game Pass suppressed Gears of War. As we can see, it's about physical copies that still work. People in Spain obviously liked physical copies more than digital ones for this release.
