Yep, a burgeoning market, SUMO also recently came to market.

[runthejoules] 19/7/2018 08:50

I reckon the recent drop here could be because of all the UK game developers floating. Team 17, Codemasters. Good cos I remember the games from the 80s & 1990s! As the value gap closes this will recover.

The price action here is honkers. There's clearly some manipulation going on. Why would a rational market be forcing the price down. Crazy.I may have to break my portfolio rules and have a little top up.

[czeck] 19/7/2018 08:29

Yet still not positive enough for share price to head north??

[sogoesit] 19/7/2018 08:24

Still selling pressure here so, if you/we are convinced about profitability (the next hurdle to convince the market), it's a good time to accumulate.

Thank you endion

Shanklin, I'm currently at work but will reply later with an explanation.

[hastings] 19/7/2018 07:50

Excellent result. Don't think I'll be asking any questions tomorrow though, more well done team FDEV I'll drink to that!

How do you get to 4 million please?

Per link on your web-site, I understand current broker estimates for year 1 unit sales are:
- Liberum 1.75m
- Peel Hunt 2m

Thank you, Martin

That was one heck of a call!

[mad foetus] 19/7/2018 07:40

Bated breath. You have not baited your breath in the hope of catching something with halitosis. Other than that, carry on FDEV!

[rivaldo] 19/7/2018 07:35

I think the appropriate word is....."Boom" :o))

[shanklin] 19/7/2018 07:35

Now that you cannot ask about the likelihood of a 1m sales RNS, perhaps you could ask when details of the 4th franchise are likely to be forthcoming :-)

Thank you, Martin

[sogoesit] 19/7/2018 07:34

Bloody hell bamboo... have you started selling your “system” yet ;-)?
Brilliant!

[p1nkfish] 19/7/2018 07:31

Ball knocked out the park.
Well done Frontier.
Absolutely fantastic.

[endion] 19/7/2018 07:23

Amazing! Congrats bamboo!! So thrilled you were right. This is now definately on for a 4million target year one. Awaiting fourth franchise news with baited breath now.

Also, if steamspy is near accurate with circa 500k sold on pc, then the ratio so far is 50-50 pc to console sales.

[allstar4eva] 19/7/2018 07:16

Nice one bamboo! Careful people may start calling you a guru ;-)

[haggishunter] 19/7/2018 07:15

Well done bamboo

[square1] 19/7/2018 07:10

Strangely classified as an RNSNON. Since it relates to sales I would of thought it should have been classified a full RNS. I guess it doesn't change recent trading update

[milly17] 19/7/2018 07:08

Brilliant!

Jurassic World Evolution passes 1 million units sold

Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV; "Frontier"), a leading independent developer and publisher of video games, announces an update on sales of Jurassic World Evolution™ which launched in June 2018.

Digital sales of Jurassic World Evolution, Frontier's third game franchise, have been strong across all three platforms, (PC, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One), following its digital launch on 12th June 2018. In addition, initial physical disc sales on PlayStation®4 and Xbox One have also been encouraging since launch on 3rd July 2018. As a result of this strong initial sales performance on both digital and physical, including digital pre-order sales, cumulative sales have now passed 1 million units, just 5 weeks after the digital launch on 12th June 2018.

Both Elite Dangerous with the release of Beyond Chapter 2 and Planet Coaster with the release of The Vintage Pack continue to perform well, in line with expectations. Further expansions are planned for all three franchises in line with our strategy of ongoing support.

David Braben, Chief Executive, said:

"We are really pleased with Jurassic World Evolution and are delighted to have crossed the 1 million unit threshold so quickly. There is no doubt that initial sales have benefitted from the worldwide awareness created by the film release, but it's the quality of the game that's really important and I believe our team have done a terrific job in creating a game that a wide range of players are now enjoying around the world".

Bamboo2 gets date spot on!!!

[allstar4eva] 18/7/2018 22:33

I think this is a decent board and although positive as you would expect the risks have been highlighted and understood by most here. Tomorrow would be a great time for news ahead of Friday...

[endion] 18/7/2018 20:12

Luckily my own positivity is based on my own research. Whether it turns out to be accurate is another matter however I am quietly confident.
