EA SPORTS FC 25" (Electronic Arts) topped the official game charts in September. Just a few days after its release, the latest title in the football simulation series made it to the top of the charts. Two other new releases also landed in the top 5 best-selling PC and console games in Germany: The new third-person shooter from the "Warhammer" universe "Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2" (Focus Entertainment) took third place and the jump 'n' run "Astro Bot" (Sony Interactive Entertainment) entered the charts at number 4. The open-world racing game "The Crew 2" (Ubisoft) made a comeback in second place.

The action-adventure game "The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom" (Nintendo), which was released at the end of September, made it to seventh place. In eighth place is the latest title of the “NBA” basketball simulation “NBA 2K25” (2K) and the also newly released online racing game “Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown” (Nacon) secures twelfth place.

Hogwarts Legacy still showing legs

lets go astro bot

 

[RaZoR No1]

The Crew 2 is probably that high because it was on sale for 1€ everywhere

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

The Crew 2 is probably that high because it was on sale for 1€ everywhere

Correct. It charted high on both the UK September charts and the September PSN charts due to the $1 sale.

 

[SJRB]

Hogwarts is doing insane numbers.

 

[hemo memo]

EA could pacakge the exact same game and just change the number on the title and will still be 1#.

Well, that's basically all they do anyways, besides resetting your sqaud so you have to earn (a.k.a. buy) all your players anew o_o

Sometimes they do forget to change the number on the title as well though, so there's that.

Hogwarts Legacy still showing legs

Talking about legs, an unpatched and neglected cowboy game from 2018 is still in the charts

 

[Saber]

Hogwarts Legacy seems will not be gonna from most of charts that soon. Bad news for a bunch of weirdos and possibly some wakcos inside since there isn't much of news about this game either(must be internal struggle).

 

[Woopah]

Go Age of Mythology and Astrobot! Not too bad for Zelda either.

 

[Gamerfan81]

Finally got around to playing Hogwarts this year, its a damn good game. The weirdos can go to hell.

 

[delirium trigger]

So Space Marine 2 has to be selling way more than it was supposed to, right? I really don't know much about the franchise.

 

[mckmas8808]

Astrobot selling THAT much more than StarWars: Outlaws has to mean something! We know Outlaws sold 1 million in 1 month. Do we have any idea how much Space Marine 2 has sold in the first month?

 

[XXL]

Hogwarts is doing insane numbers.

 

[Kvally]

Why haven't I played Age of Mythology yet? I can't believe Test Drive is so high.

 

[nemiroff]

The chaotic nature of this chart is pretty funny.

 

[Woopah]

Why haven't I played Age of Mythology yet? I can't believe Test Drive is so high.

Fix this immediately!

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Way Out and It Takes Two must had had a big discount too.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Mendoza line.

Space Marine 2 did 2 million on launch day. Yes, this was a breakout game for the franchise.

 

[mckmas8808]

OH WOW!!! So if Space Marine 2 did 2 million in a day, it's reasonable to think it could have done 3 million in the first month right?

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Easily.

 

[mckmas8808]

Easily.

Makes me wonder how close AstroBot is close to or around 2 million sold. Since Space Marine 2 is over 3 million (more than likely) and Outlaws did only 1 million in September.

Astro Bot is really hurt by being only on PS5. That's why I think they should port it to PS4 even without dual sense. You'd probably get an extra 2-3 million lifetime.

No they are best to focus on the console that has room for growth. Not the PS4. The PS5 can grow 100% bigger than it current is right now. The PS4 has maybe 1% of growth left it in.

Either way, look at what I found.....

PlayStation 5 is Sony's fastest-selling games console after surpassing 10 million sales worldwide.

The new console reached the figure on July 18th, just under a month faster than the PlayStation 4 managed.

Other sales figures released by Sony includes that Spider-Man: Miles Morales has sold over 6.5 million copies since its launch last year. PS5 exclusives Returnal, released in April, has exceeded 560,000 copies, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, which was released last month, is already on over 1.1 million units worldwide.

So R&C: Rift Apart sold 1.1 million units in the first month. And Astrobot is outdoing it everywhere launch aligned. It wouldn't surprise me if Astrobot is at 1.5 or so million sales by now. And at $60 a piece, that's 90 million in one month. For a game that was probably between $30-$50 million to make!

Rift Apart was 70.

Continues to prove the backlash was nothing but a vocal minority
