It did the same in Japan, but only sold roughly 2000 copies. That's why these rankings are pretty much useless if you want to gauge the success of a game.
You do realize the games it went up against in different regions might can give you an idea, right?
NPD: The Show just did best numbers ever in the series after going multi platform.
Returnal is 8th on the overall list. That includes Xbox, Nintendo, probably PS4 also.
PSN, it did 3rd. The Show was obviously 1. Miles is 5th, the game thats been selling like hotcakes. The NPD PSN chart is mixed PS4 and PS5....
All this with only 2 days counted.....vs all the others that had more days counted. Lowest after Returnal is probably The Show with 11 days.
Combine what lil info we have....and it wasnt a mega bomb some of yall hoped.
And when PS posts the PSN top downloads, we will see if Demon's Souls is still on the PS5 chart for another month.
Using UK, Japan, etc is cool for trying to guesstimate, but some of yall need to wait for the rest of the numbers to come in before declaring any vindication.
