This game deserves all the success it can get.

Damn, wtf is going on in Japan where 68k units sold is considered number 1.... AFTER 2 WEEKS?

That’s like around 40-50k first week probably. Not that great but it’s ok for a new IP.

Granblue Fantasy Relink did 49k first week in Japan and 1m world wide.

Both were completely sold out tho, so there wasn’t much stock. Sony should’ve printed more

The spend all their money on genshin, star rail and nikke it looks like.

They should have said louder that all Sony games are now coming out on PC after a while...

Japan market is pretty dead, they have an aging population so even less young people buying games

Congrats to Stellar Blade for topping the charts even if the numbers arent high

 

[Entropi]

What are people trying to compare Stellar Blace to? a AAA high budget established IP? C’mon, even at 1 million sold that’s a great start for a new IP and an AA game.

It'll sell more on one console than many games.

I think that's great, Sony needs to embrace this though....

They need more of these games that are unshackled by political restraint. Full creativity.

Not necessarily that way for Nintendo though. And typical multiplat 3P games between PS & Switch see Switch doing 2:1, on average.

No Japanese gamers just aren't tied to their TV's for playing games.

 

[Danja]

Hmm I expected better in Japan.

 

[Gamernyc78]

Hopefully it'll be a consistent seller.

 

[Yurinka]

Lol, I didn't expect this. Well deserved, it's a great game.

Japan "only" has ~3 million PS5 users and the game is only available on the PS5.

for analysis on japanese numbers, bayonetta 3 sold 41k on its first week and climbed torwards 60k over the next weeks, while astral chain sold 32k on its release back in 2019. I think the game got regular numbers as a character action game, it wont be the next devil may cry but also it isnt a flop for me

I just bought my copy today
