Expected drop with that price. If it were 60 it would be probably fare better - maybe would be still in top 10 at least.
Thats how I feel. I wanted to buy it because I have a ps5 and nothing to play. I know though it is a title I will play for a hour or two and drop. It's niche and not my niche.even at 60 I don't think it would have changed much. I am enjoying it, but this is totally a niche title at best.
What is the regular price for the games in UK?even at 60 I don't think it would have changed much. I am enjoying it, but this is totally a niche title at best.
Doesn't tell the whole story obviously but....not good....
Niche genre.
A-AA level content.
AAA+ "new gen" price.
Go figure.
Blablabla the studio has 80 employees and worked on the game for <3 years.You have no clue wtf your talking about. Game's budget was in the Millions. But made by a small studio, sound design is going to get some awards for sure. Game is brilliant. Never played a game to addictively in a long time.

A studio like Santa Monic has 250 and worked on GoW for 5....
Cold hard numbers.
Keep in mind this is Xboxes strongest European market and second strongest market worldwide.The real story of the UK Charts is 80% of RE8's sales were on Playstation. 50% on PS5, 30% on PS4, 20% on Xbox.
By todays (budget)-standards Returnal is not AAA but still costs more than 95% of all actual AAAs on the market.Days gone was made with mostly 80 people until end ramp up where they expanded to 120-130.
Batman Arkham asylum was made by 80 people back in 2009.
Studio size can be small, and still have a moderate budget. This game cost 40-60 Million to make if not more if you add in all the promotional material and any third party company that did any of the mixing/cutscenes.
I’d say thats expected. Multiple exclusive demos, Sony execs all in the showcase and UK in general is PS dominant. They marketed the hell out of RE8The real story of the UK Charts is 80% of RE8's sales were on Playstation. 50% on PS5, 30% on PS4, 20% on Xbox.

That´s a simple fact....
Gamepass doesn’t hurt sales.The real story of the UK Charts is 80% of RE8's sales were on Playstation. 50% on PS5, 30% on PS4, 20% on Xbox.
Context
Australia
Debuted at #1 in Germany etc etc. In short, Playstation is a global brand and Returnal will hit a million sold in due course. I'm not an analyst by any measure but using one region in Europe to suggest the game has failed. After a week on the market... While side stepping the sales data from a number of regions seems a little premature at best.
Looks like bomba. How are you feeling inside today? Sad?79% digital is really hurting physical trackers.
Pokemon Snap is the number 1 in Germany not Returnal.
Housemarque is 80 people but more than 80 people worked on returnal.Blablabla the studio has 80 employees and worked on the game for <3 years.
A studio like Santa Monica has 200-250 and worked on GoW for 5....
The budgets are incomparable.
It´s not an Indi game, but it`s far from AAA.....
Lol bomba. Shit charted in every chart possible at 70 quid. Nice try troll.Niche Roguelike not big sellers. They are made for very specific audience
Looks like bomba. How are you feeling inside today? Sad?
Wut? It is the opposite lolLooks like bomba. How are you feeling inside today? Sad?
Context is really important here.And how big is Pokemon as a brand and established IP?
For returnal to be #2, let alone in top 5-10 is a good sign.
What are you talking about?Context is really important here.
-Spin off Pokemon game isn't the same tier as mainline Pokemon game in sales.
-UK is the weakest market for Nintendo amongst top 6 gaming markets and yet Snap outsold it 3 to 1 in a launch week. It would be much bigger in other countries like US, Japan, France, and Germany.
-Leg is also an important metric to measure the sales as you can see Snap only down 63% after a huge launch while Returnal down 84% indicating words of mouth isn't good as Snap.
