Yep, Gran Turismo 7 currently trails only Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec in lifetime dollar sales for franchise releases in the US. Likely to catch up to that at some point this year. https://t.co/TU8w7Fy1gF

PlayStation 5 was the best-selling hardware platform of January 2024 in both units and dollars, with Switch placing 2nd in unit sales and Xbox Series ranking at #2 in dollar sales.

DE still less than a third of total monthly units, but yep it's become more widely available recently. Good catch.

5 weeks compared to 4 and probably more people buying X than S

palworld is also an Xbox exclusive right now. as big as it is it's not a stretch to think it pushed some console sales in January.

Digital has really taken over. Would've expected a higher ratio for Spidey and GoW though

(In no particular order) - 3 Spider-Mans, 2 God of Wars, and a Tsushima Ghost.

Ghost is above TLOU2, Uncharted 4, Horizon 1 and 2, GT7?

No way can that be correct, right? Ghost by all accounts sold less than most of their other big games.

Also responding to the tweet above that Shinobi responded to, "premium" is an old term that's been around for at least a decade. Freemium is the opposite term for f2p. Maybe everyone here already knows that, idk.

I still find it surprising, but those other games were on sale much faster than Ghost.

Ghost is still $60 and wasn't aggressively bundled.

Multiplatform makes it easy to sell more!

NEW - Sea of Thieves and Helldivers II show the potency of making games multiplatform

And what of FF7 Rebirth? Being PS5 only may have hurt, but @MatPiscatella tells me that its $ sales trail even PS5-only FF16 in the same time period by a double digit %https://t.co/Ha4iGJnQu5

I totally forgot FF7 2 had released. Got so little attention compared to FF16 at least where I looked.

Dr. Pezus · May 03, 2024, 07:10 AM

I mean FFVII-2's problem is it's a sequel of a remake. By all accounts its an excellent game. Do we really expect it to sell a ton on Xbox? Major doubt

Legend · Jun 25, 2024, 03:12 AM

May was a brutal month for game sales in Europe. With fantastic games like the System Shock remake on consoles, Hellblade 2, and the Rogue Prince of Persia all missing out on the Top 100. There are mitigating reasons, but the market remains challenged https://t.co/UU0a62OjRy

Hellblade 2 not in top 100, wowza.

Gamepass limits sales of course but it seems like it's selling poorly even for a gamepass game. Did redfall chart?

oooooofff! Thats BAD. Bye bye ninja theory, unfortunately.
