The Last of Us Part 2 at #5 you love to see it.

 

[Tsaki]

Red Dead Redemption 2 has been in the charts quite often. A next gen version has to be in the works right?

The Last of Us Part 2 at #5 you love to see it.

Charting like mad the last 6+ months.

Pretty much makes the PSN top sales every month on Europe and the US and even sometimes in Japan and that's obviously not the best market for it.

They really need to release the PC version asap (Atleast before season 2 of the show) and if your making a PC version they may aswell release a PS5 SKU.

 

[DForce]

All the way up to #5 and ahead of Resident Evil 4? Put up good numbers last month.

5	The Last of Us: Part 2 (Sony)

 

[elcapitano]

It's a shame the US do dollar sales as it means the monthly charts aren't comparable

Yes. In fact, we have a mechanism for tracking sales across all networks, so we can see exactly how sales are trending. As for The Last of Us, the number of games sold increased each time we released a new episode of the drama. I think this is a wonderful thing.

Whether it's a game or a drama, I'm happy that more people can enjoy "The Last of Us" as some form of entertainment. The synergistic effect of producing the drama is like "2 + 2 = 5"

TERRIBLE list. Only RDR2 is good.

 

[LostInTime]

I can't believe how big that Star Wars survivor game was. RE4Re is the best game on that list and it's at the 10 spot.

For europe in april 2022 we only got this

289,000 games consoles were sold across Europe in April, a drop of 15% over March.

Nintendo Switch was the leading platform for a seventh consecutive month. PS5 is in second position, followed by Xbox Series S and X.

All three platforms are suffering from stock challenges, although the situation is particularly challenging for Microsoft and Sony.

It was the best month of the year so far for PS5.

Doesn't look like the article mentions any YOY comparisons for each console

Sales where pretty dire back then.

Hmm not sure if I got the napkin math right but for April 2022 I calculated unit sales for PS5 when compared to Series consoles as: 54041 + 0.18*X, where X are the units of Series consoles for the same month. In my calculation I assume 0 PS4 and XOne sold, which isn't true but the sales of the last gen systems will massively favor PS4 over XOne.

GTAV simply won’t die. I’m shocked that everyone who wants it doesn’t already have it.
