Cyberpunk above RE4 & FF16 in Europe, wow.

It always surprise be that the game seems much more popular in Europe than in the US given its setting

Great list here. Question: from the top down (or bottom up) is the lists ranked? Didn't see that but if it was top down (highest downloaded); interesting stats there between EU & US/Canada. For instance the number of sports, Marvel-type or combat games on the US/Canada list | EU list.

It's ranked from top to bottom with the highest downloaded titles being at the top. :)

It's because Europeans like the realistic bonkers US setting. We love to know how it would be to live the American dream and Cyberpunk is a perfect representation of that.

I’m surprised only one Sony first party game is in the top twenty.

Like it or not GaaS games are the only evergreen games.

I am not. First party sales have being declining since a few years. There are still non-GAAS games that are evergreen. Those are just not Sony of Microsoft games.

Hogwarts was shunned by pretty much all major outlets even though it absolutely demolished sales figures and was a massive, massive critical and financial success. Amazing game, incredible accomplishment on artistic and technical level.

Incredible arc. God bless the devs, too. They got a TON of shit from retards trying to cancel them but they ended up victorious nonetheless. And how.

WB executives right now thinking about how they can get more money by making a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy that's a multiplayer GaaS looter shooter

That’s my fear basically. They will look at Hogwarts and go “How can we monetize the shit out of it!?”
