A collection of remastered Yakuza games was the biggest new physical release in the UK last week.

Sega's PS4 exclusive debuted at No.3, behind the usual boxed chart toppers Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (No.2) and FIFA 20 (No.1).

It's one of four new releases in the charts this week, the other being Media Molecule's Dreams at No.8 (also a PS4 exclusive).
Dreams was made available in Beta in April 2019 and received its full release last week, complete with a physical version. As a result, the game will likely have performed stronger as a download.

Here is the GfK Top Ten for the week ending February 15th

Last Week	This Week	Title
1	1	FIFA 20
2	2	Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
New Entry	3	Yakuza Remastered Collection
6	4	Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
3	5	Grand Theft Auto V
5	6	Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
7	7	Minecraft
New Entry	8	Dreams
9	9	Luigi's Mansion 3
10	10	NBA 2K20

Yakuza Remastered eh? Nice going.

I don't remember how well the new Yakuza sold though.

 

[policestationx]

Dreams is probably around 1-2k copies.

 

[it_wasn't_me]

Dreams is probably around 1-2k copies.

3 weeks ago (week 4, 2020) Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot topped the UK charts selling around 7.000 units.

Dreams came out at the end of week. Also, one thing to keep in mind is that Dreams has been on sale for a year via Early Access

 

[Birdo]

Shocked to see Fallen Order still hanging in there.

Also, RIP Dreams (Everyone expected it, though)

Some people didn't expect Dreams to even chart, yet it did. Btw. game launched in Friday in UK

 

[Kagero]

didn’t even know dreams was out. Just terrible marketing from Sony

 

[Enjay]

GTA V is still a beast despite it feeling like everyone on the planet should have a copy by now. lol dreams

 

[MHubert]

Yes, it's kind of weird honestly... :/

 

[Pallas]

Good to see Yakuza charting in the UK and what do you know.. GTAV lol I saw someone(a teenager and his mom) purchase GTAV today at Walmart for the PS4, and a controller. Sheesh hard to believe that game IS STILL selling.

 

[Orta]

Fifa ffs. UK gamers have to be the most pig ignorant shower on the planet.

MM2(same type of game) was released on Friday in much smaller userbase(Switch) but managed to open at ~40k.

Really sad result for Dreams

Sad result for Dreams and suddenly, you, an Xbox fan care about PS4 game. LOL
MM2 wasn't in Early Access for 30$ or 25£ like Dreams was for almost a year. Use some damn logic and read this quote again :

Also, one thing to keep in mind is that Dreams has been on sale for a year via Early Access

Bunch of people bought this game digitally. When Kakarot with 7000 units managed to be at No.1 place across 3 platforms , no one said that this is a sad result. LOL.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I'm glad for Yakuza since it's "only" a remastered trilogy plenty of people might already have for the PS3.

 

[Heinrich]

Lol not even on top? What a shit show. Wow.

 

[policestationx]

Lol not even on top? What a shit show. Wow.

Really bad and sad for dreams. It was sent to die.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

I remember them saying they were gonna make limited numbers for the Yakuza collection, surprised to see it chart so high.

 

[Kagey K]

That’s fucking pathetic.

 

[policestationx]

Probably selling around 4k copies.

 

[Kagey K]

Probably selling around 4k copies.

That might be high.

 

[Elektro Demon]

Glad to see Yakuza doing well.

 

[it_wasn't_me]

Glad to see Yakuza doing well.

Naaah, it failed. Maybe few thounsands copies

 

[Kagey K]

Naaah, it failed. Maybe few thounsands copies

Honestly right now with UK and physical copies only it could be in the hundreds.

 

[mcjmetroid]

Fifa ffs. UK gamers have to be the most pig ignorant shower on the planet.

There are people out there that only buy FIFA every year and that's it. Nothing wrong with that I suppose. We'd hope for better but some.people just don't have the time or care.

FIFA, COD, and GTA gamers are the majority of PS4 and XBO userbase.

That can’t be right, exclusives are all that matter. Every other games doesn’t count.

To put into perspective in the US.

By the end of 2016, sold through number of PS4 was 17.66M.
From 2013 to 2016, only one time PS4 1st party title managed to chart on yearly best seller chart.

By the end of 2019, sold through number of NSW was 17M.
From 2017 to 2019, 14 times 1st party titles managed to chart on yearly best seller chart.

What's more impressive, Nintendo software didn't include digital sales.

It's one market, I think it's a reasonably good debut considering it's not a brand new series entry or not even a remake. It's really aimed only at the big fans of the series and it came out months after digital releases of Yakuza 3 and Yakuza 4 Remastered so it's only for the people interested in a retail release.

So, how's Xbox compared to these two?

 

[mejin]

Yakuza debuted on nintendo platform and failed hard. And on Xbox it is only coming cause MS is paying.

Anyway, can't wait for Like a Dragon.

 

[darkinstinct]

Dreams is probably around 1-2k copies.

Based on Summer charts, in Winter it should be closer to 4k.

 

[Humdinger]

I don't remember Yakuza 0 or the two Kiwamis charting that high, so #3 sounds good. I didn't even realize they were releasing a remastered set of 3, 4, and 5. I grew a little tired of Yakuza after Kiwami 2, so I doubt I'll complete it. I enjoyed the story, but I'm not much for fighter-brawlers.
