Star Wars is the most popular IP in the UK gaming retail since 1993
Even The Sims had less releases.
The research was prepared by Dorian Bloch, one of the leading analysts at GfK.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor became the 119 game in the Star Wars franchise since 1993 (when LucasArts released X-Wing). On average, 4 games have been released per year since then. The table above is showing 107 releases, but it’s tracking since 1995.
That’s more than any other franchise. Even The Sims - including all add-ons released in retail - had less - 108 releases. Mario is third with 101 releases.
In the UK games developed by the Star Wars franchise earned £492M (without Star Wars Jedi: Survivor). That’s the 6 place by revenue, LEGO, Grand Theft Auto, Mario, Call of Duty, and FIFA are ahead.
The largest physical release in the UK is Star Wars Battlefront (2015). The previous record was handled by Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (2008).
First Star Wars Jedi: Survivor results show that the game - despite perfect press - is selling 35% worse than the first title. However, it’s important to mention, that we’re speaking about retail only, so digital sales might change the picture completely.
