Part 1 is a full remake with a bigger budget, Part II remaster was not. The PS4 version never dropped below 39.99 officially (Not including discounts). So you get the 49.99 with the 10 dollar upgrade.

It's a remaster not a remake. Remaking TLOU1 would have taken a lot more effort and money to make.
I'm actually curious about this. How do you play Just Dance on it? Does Kinect still work on Series consoles?

That's because Director's Cut version was released a year later and included story and online DLC.
PS4 > PS4 Director's Cut - $19.99
PS4 Director's Cut > PS5 Director's Cut > $9.99
PS4 > PS5 Director's Cut $29.99
Ghost of Tsushima also didn't put up big numbers in Europe.

Last I heard people were using their smartphones as the controller
So I just looked it up to see how you actually play it without kinect or a cam. since the xbox Series doesn't have any gyros or accelerometers in the controller and kinect doesn't work on it I was curious how that's even possible. Apparently the only way is to download an app on your phone and swing it about in your hand when dancing?Nope.
Xbox Support

It's weird that on Xbox it's Series only, they didn't do an Xbox one version this year. AND it outsold the PS5 version which has camera support and gyro/accelerometer. Kind of impressive it sold better there.
Ideally MS should have made a kinect adaptor for these type of games and Ubi ought to support PSVR2 controllers too but I guess the market is too small and the game has gone downhill in terms of precision/support.
You download the Just Dance Controller app on your phone to use it as a motion controller.
Yeah, just looked it up. Bizarre if you ask me, and they've even made new apps to download for the yearly release. Why not just update the old one?

It doesn't work with camera on PS5 either?

I think those new ps5 owners did the trick.
Xbox created a fan base for Dance games when they had KinectSo I just looked it up to see how you actually play it without kinect or a cam. since the xbox Series doesn't have any gyros or accelerometers in the controller and kinect doesn't work on it I was curious how that's even possible.

Looks like it. Means you can stand perfectly still and just wave your phone about when it asks you to do some leg movement or move your hips. Your other hand is completely ignored too. I never though I'd say this about kinect and camera motion controls but

I would say it is because XO version came out a lot later. Also, and this is purely anecdotal, most of my friends who still play on XO are usually casuals who don't really buy digital. They go to a store twice a year and get a game or two that people are talking about. On the other hand, all of my XS friends have stopped buying physical a long time ago.Weird seeing Xbox One owners buying more copies of Hogwarts than Xbox Series

Why is PS5 first then?

So tell us, what would have made it an accomplishment in January when not up against FIFA and something like Hogwarts? What should a Remaster (physical copies only) sell to satisfy your needs?

I don't like Xbox.
And GOT had an upgrade path, as well. And was a brand new IP. Not a sequel to the most popular 1st party game on the PS3, save GT. Nor did it have a successful HBO show based on it.

I can only speculate, but maybe it is because it is more popular and a lot of kids this xmas got Ps5 as their first console and they wanted a HP game so their parents went to a store. A lot of my friends have kids and obviously all of them want a switch or ps5 because that is what they talk about in school. Xbox is for losers, I keep hearing.

We know. This game is too ‘woke’ for you, hence the hate on it and Spider-Man despite being a PlayStation fan. Your rep follows you across websites.
Anyway, what it boils down to is this is a remaster of the sequel that already sold gang busters and has been on the market 4 years. Tsushima is in a different boat.

Just a reminder why these numbers don't mean much these days...

Almost 90% of games sold in UK in 2022 were digital - ERA - BBC News
Physical game sales fell 4.5% last year, the digital entertainment and retail association says.

Uhm.. I think you missed last week's UK Boxed Charts Sales thread when that report was brought up by another GAFer: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/uk-boxed-charts-week-2-2024-jan-07-jan-13.1665949/post-268810584Just a reminder why these numbers don't mean much these days...

I really feel like people like to downplay physical game sales just because they're too lazy to do 1 minute of research.
UK games sales dropped 6% in 2022 and console sales plunged 29%

It's slowed but us still the majority and growing. Point still stays. Only boxed game sales isn't even half the picture.Uhm..

As you've seen from the linked report, physical sales in the UK still account for a significant portion of the games that receive both digital and retail releases, so naturally, they are of interest.
Regardless of personal opinions, these weekly UK boxed charts will continue to be shared here on GAF (if not by me then by someone else), as it provides content that people enjoy discussing.
If you don't like this type of content then please feel free to ignore the thread (there's even a button on the forum for that).

Satisfy my needs? lol.
Would really need to see the actual sales numbers. But considering number 1&2 are both older I’m guessing they were pretty low. I’d think with the given factors it would need to be #1

Because Part 1 is a remake. Part 2 is a remaster.

#1 & 2 are games that have sold, and continue to sell, a lot. There's nothing wrong with coming up right behind them.

It's a Remaster. It doesn't have to light up the charts.
This is also one region, physical sales, in a quiet period of the year with an easy $10 upgrade option. And still sold just behind top selling games. I'm not sure what you expected.

This is boxed sales so only Series X owners would be buying the physical copies, add that to the fact that it was released later on Xbox One & PS4

Yeah, I get it, but still.....just doesn't look right.

If you don't include mobile game sales it's basically half the picture though. So what are you really trying to say?

It also shows how few people even have an Xbox Series X console specifically, in the UK.

As I said in the previous thread, it's not relevant for PC and mobile, but it's very relevant for consoles.

Sharing this Chris tweet in this thread since Week 4 UK boxed charts aren't up yet on Nintendo Life.
