Ps5 #1 in Units and Dollars​

 

[Poltz]

Looks like we had the same idea, I will look for a mod to close my thread.

 

[HotSauceEnema]

Hogwarts Legacy doing incredible, showing that the people screeching truly do only live online

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

The remake no one wanted at #5 and the 3 year old flop sequel at #18!

Xbox dead last against 2 japanese consoles, including the 6 year old one is…something.

Meanwhile PS5 single-handedly driving the hardware growth for the market.

Imagine that new sku + Spider-Man 2 bundle in September…and FFXIV before it, in June.

 

[SlimySnake]

lol That Last of Us show bump is amazing. TLOU2 jumped from 41 to 18! I know some non gamer podcasters were playing the games. That must have helped.

Great to see Dead Space show some legs. Elden Rings at 7 is nuts in its 13th month! Its showing CoD legs.

Ragnorak is very impressive considering its being bundled in with almost every PS5 in the US and NPD apparently doesnt count bundles.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Never saw Xbox Series getting outsold in it's strongest market month after month by old ass Switch.

Thought Switch would be flatlining by now too but it chuggs along.

 

[feynoob]

Guess this means Xbox sold alot of xsx if they are n2 at $ sales.

 

[elcapitano]

TLOU 2 being 18th in dollar sales is kinda crazy considering that means a lot more units sold to make up for the fact it's available heavily discounted in most places due to its age.

There are too many kids out there mason.

Switch is a handheld at this point. Every kid wants it. New kids are born everyday.

Unfair to compare it to the Xbox or PS5 imo.

Sony and Nintendo are colluding with the U.S Government. JUST KIDDING, dont ban me.

 

[Nautilus]

Dead Space hold is simply incredible. That probably means it will be at the top 10 next month too. Really happy for it.


I don't know if OT 2 at number 10 is great or dissapointing.It's there though, so I'm happy.

Almost 1 and half year since a big AAA game from Xbox (not counting deathloop and ghost wire Tokyo).

Switch is a hybrid though.

But the Switch is on its 7th year.It would speak more about the PS5 and Series appeal and performance rather than the Switch's if the Switch was still outselling them.

Great tbh.

It's strange that Atomic Heart didn't make top 20. In UK it was between Ishin and OT2.

They should call on their congress shills to investigate.

Yes!!!


Makes me wonder then why Square didn't say anything. We are almost at the end of march, it must have passed 1 million by now.

Time to invade Japan.

You're right.

But Hogwarts released on Xbox this NPD month, biggest multiplat release outside FIFA or COD and would have given a hardware bump. You'd imagine.

That will give it a far bigger bump than Redfall, that a lot of people think will move Series sales.

 

[Chiggs]

I remember fondly when I was told that The Last of Us Part I would flop.

 

[elcapitano]

Part 1 should overtake Ragnarok for the YTD sales next month I would say.

Im loving the PC port just hope it gets fixed soon for the users experiencing issues.

The TLOU franchise has got to be at or near 50 mil units sold by now....

 

[Horseganador]

The xbox thing in the USA is worrying, while PS5 is sweeping, they can't even beat a system with more than 6 years on the market like Switch, they are selling even less than Xbox one.

That's it, award them another publisher or 2.

I was at my local GAME store and a kid was telling his mother that Hogwarts Legacy wasn't available on XBOX.

Astonishing really.

[SlimySnake]

I was honestly surprised that it failed to chart in the NPD top 20 last year. The show has definitely given it a massive boost but last year it was outsold by kirby, sonic, gotham knights and a smash bros game from 2018.

 

[DForce]

NPD
6th - Last of Us Part I
18th - Last of Us Part II

European GSD February 2023
7th - The Last of Us Part 2
18th - Last of Us: Remastered

Big month for the franchise.

Part II was discounted for $9.99 for about a week, so for it to be at number 18 is impressive because that means it sold a lot of units during this month.

 

[jaysius]

The way that title is formed...

Also there's a Reeee post with the same fucking awful formatted title...looks like we found your Reeee acount!

 

[Luigi Mario]

I'm really curious as to why we won't be getting platform-specific charts anymore?

Think of it like cyberpunk anime show.
That series gave the game exposure to new audience which led to higher sales and higher steam concurrent users.

The last of us is experiencing similar things now.

almost as if the armchair experts maybe don’t know better than Jim Ryan as to what to do?

Pretty amazing to see grown men lose their minds over a children's game. A CHILDREN'S GAME.

the one's so in denial that they pretend its not #1 are the funniest to me, literally so scared of a videogame... lol

This doesn't make sense if they was in a GAME store she could have looked & seen Hogwarts Legacy for Xbox

Ps5 #1 in Units and Dollars​

PS5 number one in units and dollars, and with 3 games in the top 20? Someone must stop the ABK acquisition, this is a MS monopoly!

 

[Kvally]

Well if Xbox would ever release a AAA game anytime soon, maybe they would sell more Xbox consoles. Not to mention, they were sold out in February at the MS store, and invite only on Amazon. Phil needs to get his head out of his asshole and start kissing ours.

The other factor that gets overlooked is all Xbox games getting day 1 cross release on PC day 1. Further disincentivizes their console sales.

 

[Puscifer]

Ps5 #1 in Units and Dollars​

Not shocked, it's funny because now they're sold out semi-often because you been just get them now and it's great to see.

 

[Poltz]

 

[Neo_game]

Guess this means Xbox sold alot of xsx if they are n2 at $ sales.

It could also be the other way round. Since SX stocks are not gret and people are not too interested in SS the Xbox sales are low. The difference between Switch and Xbox may be very less with in 10K ? The only number they provided is PS5 was 29% higher compared to Feb 2022.

 

[jm89]

That's crazy. Ps2 was killing it back then.

 

[Captain Toad]

I don't know if OT 2 at number 10 is great or dissapointing.It's there though, so I'm happy.

Isn't this where you always post you see PS sales falling hard and how it's becoming irrelevant.

You say that in every sales chart regardless of how well it sells. What's the delay this month?

But, I'll agree Octopath Traveler 2 is great. Wish it was doing better, as I want more stuff like it.
