I sure as hell won't buy new games for $70. Especially for the type of trash being released on the PS5 or Xbox right now.

In the 5 months of owning mine:
- Horizon FW = $35
- Uncharted 4 & LL upgrade = $10
- WRC 9 = $7

I was buying 3 new games or more a month during the PS4 era.

Not doing it either...on any platform.

Since I got my PS5 4 months a go I have bought...

- GT7 for £35.
- Witcher 3 for £20.
- Res Evil 2 & 3 Remake bundle £13.

Plus EA PGA Tour on Xbox for £55
Sifu on Xbox for £33


Game Pass and PS+Extra FTW!!!! In the same Time frame I have played Dozens of games on these services.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor takes No.1, but sales down on its predecessor | UK Boxed Charts

Dead Island 2 sales dropped 45% in its second week, which is an impressive result
www.gamesindustry.biz www.gamesindustry.biz

82% of the game's sales were on PS5, while 18% were on Xbox. Again, this will likely change when the digital data arrives, due to the popularity of digital on Xbox platforms.

Last week's No.1, Dead Island 2, slips to No.2 in the boxed charts. It's an impressive second week for the game, with sales only down 45% week-on-week, which is unusual for a AAA action game (the drops tend to be a bit more severe). Deep Silver has already revealed the game has sold one million units, which is a strong result in this market.

Here is the GfK UK Boxed Top Ten for the week ending April 29, 2023:

This Week Title
1 Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
2 Dead Island 2
3 FIFA 23
4 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
5 Hogwarts Legacy
6 Super Mario Odyssey
7 Minecraft (Switch)
8 Minecraft Legends
9 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
10 Resident Evil 4 Remake

A Newzoo report reveals that during Q1, Warner Bros. Games' Hogwarts Legacy with the top gross title in the US and UK across PC and consoles.

The market intelligence firm said Hogwarts Legacy was the highest-selling game on PC "by far" during the quarter. Both countries' PC markets had Sons of the Forest and Valorant following behind the Harry Potter RPG in revenue.

Meanwhile, the US and the UK saw similar top earners among PlayStation and Xbox software revenue during the period.

The UK had FIFA 23, Hogwarts Legacy, and Fortnite as its top three consumer revenue generators. Although similar, the US saw Hogwarts Legacy, NBA 2K23, and Fortnite as its top revenue-grossing titles.

Regarding Q1 revenue for the Nintendo Switch, Newzoo said, "US players spent more on first-party Nintendo games, while UK players exhibited more diverse spending behaviors across different titles, genres, and publishers."

The US' top revenue performers on the Switch were Metroid Prime: Remastered, Mario Kart 8, and Fortnite. The UK's chart-toppers were Fortnite, Metroid Prime: Remastered, and Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Redfall loses more than half of its players on Steam in just 24 hours, many returns, and poor performance on twitch




The launch of Redfall on Xbox Series X | S and PC has not been the most successful, precisely. Arkane's new cooperative shooter has been released generating a lot of controversy due to its status and a drop in quality compared to other studio titles.

The wave of criticism has formed a tsunami that has swept away any hope of a comeback. Redfall is already suffering from having launched underperforming much like games like The Last of Us Part 1 on PC or Star Wars Jedi Survivor .

Proof that its premiere is not the best is the player count on platforms as popular as Steam. In just 24 hours, Redfall has lost more than half of its players on Steam...

Redfall begins to lose players and audience
Also, if you check the reviews (of which a large majority are negative), many users point out that they have already returned the game. Almost 80% of the critics assure that the return has already been requested.


And Twitch audiences also point to the loss of interest in the game among streamers and viewers. The fall has been abysmal since the afternoon of May 2, approximately.

The game has gone from a peak Twitch view of 70,000 to just 5,000. Also, Steam players don't exceed 1,500 . Although it is true that the game is available on Xbox Game Pass and that may affect.

Be that as it may, the bad grades and evaluations by the press and players have stoned this title. Redfall's vampires have never been in shape, despite the fact that its premise is attractive. Have you given the game a chance or is it not worth it?
 
8.4 million for HFW, pretty good actually.

Capcom confirms record number of game sales as share price hits all-time high | VGC

The publisher announced a sixth consecutive year of record-high profit "at all levels"
www.videogameschronicle.com www.videogameschronicle.com

Capcom sold more games in its last fiscal year than in any other in its history.

In its end-year financial results published on Wednesday, which cover the year ended March 31, 2023, the Resident Evil publisher said it had sold 41.7 million games during the 12-month period.

That’s up from 32.6 million games the previous fiscal year and breaks its record for the most games sold in a business year.

The company said its game sales helped it achieve a sixth consecutive year of record-high profit “at all levels” and its tenth consecutive year of operating income growth.

Capcom said 12.4 million in sales was made up of new titles. The company released 35 ‘new’ SKUs in FY23, including Mega Man: Battle Network Legacy Collection, Resident Evil Village: Gold Edition, Monster Hunter Rise Deluxe Edition, Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium and Capcom Fighting Collection.

89.4% of its game sales during the 12 months were digital (37.3 million) and 19.7% were sold in its native Japan (8.2 million). Other than MH Rise: Sunbreak and RE4, the company’s top-selling titles during the FY were Monster Hunter Rise (3.7m), Resident Evil 2 (2.25m) and Resident Evil 3 (1.95m).

Following the publication of its end-year results, Capcom’s share price hit an all-time high on Wednesday.

Xbox 360 era MS would have made sure they had some exclusive games out by now to appeal to Japan.

This is my any chance I get to say we need Blue Dragon 2 and Lost Odyssey 2 post.
