UK Sales Charts: Mass Effect Makes Way as Resident Evil Village Reclaims Number One

Started playing RE8 last week. Definitely deserving of all the sales.

Fantastic game, on my second run now and worthy of that top spot.

Do we know where Returnal is placed? By all accounts it’s a fabulous game, but it seems to have flopped. Probably due it’s full retail £70 price point. I wonder if Sony will decide to reduce it down to something like £60 or even £50 at some point to help generate the sales it clearly deserves. If that does turn out to be the case, it’d definitely generate a sale from me!

@Quintumply Ouch! Man, that’s such a shame. Thanks for the reply by the way! 🙂

lol Miitopia at #2.

@The_Pixel_King Sony isn't Nintendo. Their games always go down in price. If it's like last gen, the game will purchasable with pocket change in a couple of years in PSN sales.

Miitopia 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow! When will y’all post all sales globally physical and digital??

@Quintumply Great point. I’d completely forgot that these figures are only physical sales. Yeah, it’s probably doing way better digital. I’ll definitely have it in my collection at some point. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

@Ralizah That’s a great point, but for some reason, I have a feeling that Sony will pull a Nintendo this generation and do much smaller sales than last gen. Maybe 30% max. You may be right though.

@The_Pixel_King If you make the same money in the end whats the big issue?

Some extra info;

• RE Village = 61% drop in sales week-on-week. 44% of the sales going to PS4 and 29% going to PS5
• Mass Effect: Legendary Edition = 76% drop in sales week-on-week. 72% of sales on PS4
• Rust = 54% of sales on PS4

@Flaming_Kaiser Who said there’s an issue?

Great for RE Village. Fantastic game.

This list is why I have not played on my Nintendo Switch since Bravely 2. And will probably not use it again until NMH3. Miitopia?🤦‍♂️

This is the day I learned of Miitopia...and that it costs real money?

Completed it 3 times love it hope it gets dlc like re4 separate ways

@The_Pixel_King Returnal flopped badly because the game is by NO means a mainstream one. The game is exhilarating difficult. Extremely punishing. Many of my friends who own PS5 are reluctant to buy it because of its design not because of the price. Even Housemarque knows that their game is risky & targets a special group of people who are into rogue like games.

@Dr_ENT Yep, that’s a good point, though it’s the price that’s putting off my family and friends because of the difficulty. If it was £50 they’d take a punt on it, but at £70 the risk is too high. It all adds up to the same thing, just which way round you look at it. Difficulty x price = less sales! Still hope it’s doing well in terms of digital sales on PSN though.

@The_Pixel_King everybody i talk to in the real world says the same thing as well, the price. It's only on here we get white knights defending it. Strange that isn't it?

Great Village is doing well as its fantastic.

@Loftimus It super annoying, man! I just don’t understand people who blindly support PlayStation, no matter what. Right or wrong. It’s the same over on Nintendo Life. I love PlayStation and I love Nintendo, but what’s so wrong with calling them out on something that isn’t right. I’m just glad there’s at least one person on here who agrees with me! Thanks man.

@WallyWest I really must pick RE Village up at some point. It looks ace. It’s reasonably priced, too!

It’s a must-buy for anyone remotely interested. I’m 3/4 through my first playthrough and it’s GOTY 2021 for me.

@The_Pixel_King @Loftimus

So if i understand correct if you dont like a game for a reason you wont buy it because its hard or any other reason you will buy it if its cheaper? Not to sound mean but thats a stupid reason.

And everyone buy a Ubisoft game which are a mess cost €60 with stretched out gameplay full of filler, a seasonpass *€20 plus, boosters for leveling like in a mobile game, full of bugs with even game breaking ones thats can stop your progress..

@Flaming_Kaiser No, not at all. I’m saying that if a game might be too difficult for me, at £70, it’s a risky purchase, but at say £50, I’m more likely to take that risk. What’s so stupid about that? Listen, you do you, let me do me. Cool?

And who’s talking about Ubisoft games? I’m talking about Returnal. Last time I checked, that isn’t developed or published by Ubisoft. Not sure what Ubisoft has to do with me not wanting to buy Returnal at £70?

@Flaming_Kaiser no youve got it wrong again! Didn't you buy Retunal even though you have no ps5? Can't really take your opinion on the matter seriously when you're gushing over Returnal that badly

@The_Pixel_King If i really dont like a game any price is a waste i take my time to research what i buy.

@Flaming_Kaiser Wow. Seriously, when did I ever say that I don’t like Returnal? Can you please show me where? I said it MIGHT be a bit difficult to warrant me spending £70. I have researched the game and I think the game looks fabulous, I’m just worried the difficulty may impede my progress, limiting its value TO ME PERSONALLY.

I don’t want to spend £70 on it. I’d be happier if/when it’s a little cheaper. That is my prerogative. Why is that so difficult for you to understand? Can you please stop conversing with me now. Thanks in advance.

@Loftimus Seriously dude, is there something wrong with this Kaiser fella? Why is he taking my perceived value of a game so personally? This is why I’m always hesitant to make comments on this site. Lesson learned 😓

@The_Pixel_King dont let them dissuade you mate. They can join a discord if they want to circle jerk in peace.

@Loftimus Yeah, cheers buddy. I’ll just try and steer clear of certain posters. You’re definitely a good egg though.

My great grandson will still see GTA5 in the top 10 of the charts.
