Grand Theft Auto V is a monster (not that we didn't know that at this point).
Still impressive for a new platform + no one owning a Wii u.
Many people double dip, my mate had it on Xbox and has just got it on PC after an upgrade.

I know this shouldn't be a surprise, but three-and-a-half years after its original release - and two-and-a-half years after its current-gen rerelease - christ does GTA V still have legs.
It shouldn't be a shock, but it's still no less impressive.
Although having said, I have bought all five versions of it so I'm part of the problem *shrugs*

So glad Resi did good numbers, Resi 7 in VR still is the greatest gaming experience i have had this gen and for many years.
Horizon doing well is so deserved, Such a great game.

Zelda and Horizon?

Second half of the game is much weaker than the first. Still a great first game for a new IP.
Ghost Recon being as successful as it is kind of came out of nowhere for me

Being available on 5 systems helps.

I still need to double dip GTA5. Though it doesn't look as if sub-£20 will happen.

Eh, every game isn't for everybody. That doesn't stop the game from being excellent though.
The game gets visually more beautiful as it goes on, but I'm feeling a bit of Ubi repetitiveness kicking in. Still enjoyed my time with it though.
And Ubi games just sell, every time no matter the quality.

Too bad that has nothing to do with the statement.
Ok cranky nuts.

Could Horizon achieve Uncharted 4 like sales?

Why would anyone even buy GTA 5 new these days? Makes much more sense getting it second hand considering how many copies there are out there...
It will have legs, but there isn't enough consoles out there for it to be selling more.
If anything, that placement is way too good!
What does this mean?

GTA is not the type of game you sell it's a game you keep forever not much second hand of this out there and if it is the price is still too high that might aswell get a brand new copy
You just know that GTA V has made Rockstar rewrite their entire plans for GTA 6.
It's coming right at the end of the PS4/Xbox One's life. But they won't put it on PC.
Then they'll release a remaster for PS5/Xbox Four 18 months later and then a year after that they'll put it on PC.
All with tons and tons of online content and online focus and single player will be a barely developed aside.

I'm guessing they expect Zelda to have a higher physical copy rate than most games.

Resident Evil would be higher if it was an action game
The legs on GTAV. It's going to outlive 2 console generations at this point.
Also nice to see Resi getting rewarded.
In fairness, it has a 102% adoption rate on the Switch. The want is strong.

SFV did this mistake and it was a failure. Most people buy games(at least fighting games) for single player, as seen in the PSN rarity data of the trophies from fighting games.
I don't remember GTAV trophies, but if there are single player and multiplayer related trophies just comprare the percentage of people who did unlock the easiest related one. You'll notice that a huge amount of players never played online.
GTAV is one of the best selling games in gaming history, it would be stupid to call something a flop because it didn't achieve its sales.
Horizon achieved top 3 of the quarter in 1 month being the only game of the list released in a single platform. And also the top new IP of the list, where there are only 2. Which means Horizon is doing a great job.
Ubi also did a great job being the only company with 2 brand new games in the list, being one of them a new IP set in a new genre, something that is very risky, and the other in the top 1.
Zelda is doing a great job especially considering that is released for platforms with a userbase way smaller than the other titles in the list, and if we compare its worlwide (including digital) numbers to previous Zelda games.
