Really? Because it's a great game as well.
In what way?
I was wondering if anyone else thought that was ... odd.
It's just outside of the holidays that it's generally down. December was a big surprise up, for example Wonder how long the shift to holiday focused sales will be. Would think it would level out at some point.
This might actually be true, at least the second part
It reminded me that I didn't like the way combat felt in part 1 and this didn't change that much

Sucks about Yakuza 0 and Gravity Rush 2 not even charting on PS4 chart, but it's not surprising to me...
no lies detected
Hopefully it's dead, replaced my Mario Maker.
There are continents and platforms outside their scope. That is where the industry is growing.
Why only include Steam and AAA? Seems kind of counterproductive.

Don't worry lads. You will see FFXV's legs when SE announces 7 million has been shipped. And then 8 million.
Have some patience.

FFXV salt will never be not hilarious to me.

3 months later still strong as ever. Id pay to use that quality salt to cook
I think what should bother Ubi and most AAA publishers more is that Rockstar has figured out a better MP Online model than them. GTAO is absolutely killing it from a financial perspective.

When was the last time capcom was #1? Hell when was a japanese game #1?

This depends on the month mostly. FFXV sold more than RE7 but came out in the holidays after CoD, which RE7 didn't have to do.
Oh please. FFXV apologist.
j/k. Thanks for bringing some logical reasoning. cheers bro

I don't even know how it's possible for GTAV to be this high for that long. Who is buying this game that much???
Apparently there's a huge correlation between new console sales and gtav sales
Well Monster Hunter Generations was no.1 in July technically...

Great job by Sony caving into all the port and sequel begging for GR2. Only took them 5 years to develop a PS4 game that did not even chart in the top 10 PS4 only NPD charts, sold like crap in the UK and had mediocre at best numbers in Japan.
Guess it is save to say that the sales numbers for the game in other regions where we did not get any numbers from are just as bad.

At least fans enjoyed it? You're making it sound like they shouldn't have made this game; I'm glad they did.

Yes, great job by Sony for doing what they typically do with their IPs. Revolutionary stuff.
And not only that, the director of GR2 is already working on a new game. How could you Sony?

The Guardian posted an article about this recently, if you're interested.
Ditto. Hopefully word of mouth will help GR2 have long legs, even though the initial sales wound up being lackluster.

Yea screw you Sony for a taking a risk for what you 100% knew was for a minor fanbase, how dare you make them ppl happy .

What a bizarre thing to be salty about.
Lol, I love when a game's mere existence actually makes someone mad.
I love it when I am right, I knew GR2 would bomb hard on PS4.

Are you saying this as a jilted Vita fan?

?? So did all the ppl excited about it. Not really nothing note worthy
This would explain it otherwise it's just weird
Exactly, dude's acting like he deserves an award or something lol
That would make sense, pretty weird to single out GR of all things...
You seem angry for some reason.
No Gravity Rush 2, no Yakuza 0, no Tales of Beseria, no Digimon.
I guess Microsoft was right to abandon Japanese exclusives.
He has a point. This NPD kinda proves how pointless it is for Sony to invest their first party into niche games like this. Even if they review well, they're not going to sell nearly enough.
This is coming from someone who liked Gravity Rush Remastered

Did Microsoft abandon them or did they abandon Microsoft because as I recall Phil tweeted just this week he was in Japan talking to publishers..Try again
They fill out a niche, they add to a lineup, they cater to specific people bringing them into the eco system,they add variety to a platform.
Lol @ dr4 being a total bomb and not even charting on xbone list
It might not even hit 1 million eofy now. 2 million kind of seems like a joke in hindsight. I hope all the effort you put into destroying any sense of identity to the series and turning it into some boring ass everyman's action game was worth it, Capcom.

Yes, I am pissed that Sony abandoned the Vita and moved everything to PS4, even though I own a PS4 since launch.
People acted like the Vita had "no games" while they constantly port begged for the Vita exclusives. They were sure those games would sell better on PS4 when they weren't being dragged down by the failure that was the Vita. In the end, Tearaway and Gravity Rush also failed on PS4.
Yes, the Vita failed pretty bad and Gravity Rush 2 on Vita would have never been a big success either but from a return on investment perspective, it would have probably done just as well because they wouldn't have needed 5 years to develop it for merely additional units sold.

You can't sweep all Japanese exclusives under the rug.
Bloodborne, Kingdom Hearts, and apparently NiOh (February) have done pretty well, and I'm sure Persona 5 will too.
Capcom going platform exclusive with Dead Rising and Street Fighter was obviously a mistake, unless the money given to them by MS and Sony offset the loss of revenue. Of course, with the decisions made to the fundamental package offered by those titles, it's hard to argue they would've done significantly better with more exposure.
These recent flops indicate that Shenmue 3 is probably not going to set the world on fire.

Which again I'm sure the team and the fans are well aware. That won't stop ppl from being hyped that it did tho
