GTA V.

 

[onQ123]

What else would even have a chance at being number 1? Other than E33?

 

[pulicat]

Ranked no.4 in the Europe and it didn't even last a single week at the top 5 best selling chart, especially when there were zero big releases to compete during its launch period.

Current chart after a week
US - 8
UK - 5
Germany - 9
France - 9
Japan - 8

Things aren't looking good for Death Stranding 2.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

...But not number 1 for Europe? Playstation's strongest market?


Edit: beaten by a minute, lol

I was one of those American downloads.

It outsold Mario Kart world to become number 1 in the UK. I'd say that's pretty stong competition. It being number 1 on PSN was a given.

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

It won't sell very well compared to the first. Games are too similar.

 

[Twinblade]

is it still a walking simulator? I haven't even beaten the first game, I ended up bored with it.

No, this one is a first person shooter

DS2 is number 3 in the UK now. MKW has been #1 again since. but a short lived launch week victory I guess.

I am going to sit down with my mega pint and worry about Kojima Productions future.

We include bunduru in the UK.

That's a great gesture, KP could use some spiritual help.

 

[Rush2112]

It was the only new triple A game released on PS store this month. It had to compete with no one.

No it's a 3D puzzle game now.

You won't like this one if you couldn't finish the first.

And I poop skittles. Taste the rainbow.

Maybe those Metal Gear lookalike things fool some people into thinking this game wouldn't be as annoying as the first.

First one wasn't bad, this one isn't too.

If you enjoyed it, cool.
As for me, playing it felt like a torture.
And if DS is so good and successful saleswise, i hope Kojima is done shamelessly referencing Metal Gear games, trying to appeal to older fans that absolutely don't care about this series.

 

[kazuyamishima]

Never expected the NDF to go strong against this game tbh.

 

[Gambit2483]

When you have ZERO competition

 

[[Sigma]]

I figured it would be based on what I saw(I was keeping up with the rankings on Japan PSN when it released). It's still currently in the top 10.

 

[blue velvet]

They should just release this on PC already so I can play it. I hate Kojima's writing, he is a horrible writer but delivering goods and materials is the most therapeutic thing I've ever experienced in gaming.

 

[Flabagast]

Best Sony game this gen, by far.

Every PS5 owner should buy it, there is nothing else like it

 

[SamusXAran89]

Do people think this is a success? June has hardly any notable games. This game sold fewer than its predecessor.

 

[EverydayBeast]

I really hope Xbox gets death stranding 2 sooner rather than later, there's too much money to be made from it, I was very happy with death stranding 1 on the ps4 slim on a personal level, Sam porter is one of the greatest characters ever, and I can't wait to see his counter punch against these beach things.
