UK Sales Charts: PlayStation Exclusives Come and Go While GTA 5 Is On the Rise

Seems like GTAV will claim #1 this holiday if the next gen version isn't a free upgrade.

Marvel's Avengers? Really?

Purchasing insomniac is the best move sony did last gen 😃

Where is Demons Soul? It's a fun game, so I hope we can play a lot.

@Gamer_Girl_ Most people that buy a ps4 will buy a GTA too. It is like the default game that most people buy with their new console.

It's like as soon as a kid turns a certain age its a ritual to buy GTA or Minecraft.

Whilst mario kart is the game every new switch owner buys or it already comes with the switch in a deal

Hopefully next week Tales of Arise can be top, really looking forward to that game, haven't played a decent rpg in a while

These charts now are pretty pointless aren't they? No digital sales figures mean no pc games sales included or sales from PS, Switch and Xbox market places (not to mention gamepass day one additions) gives such a skewed version of games sales that makes these charts irrelevant

@wiiware That purchase was an absolute coup. I can’t believe they only paid $200 million for them and Codemasters went for $1.2 billion. One of big blunders by Microsoft was not wanting to make Sunset Overdrive 2 when Insomniac was practically begging MS to let them.

@Gamer_Girl_ I think a lot of GTA purchases may come from buying the same game multiple times been cheaper than microtransactions. Or so I have heard. Another factor is that every year comes with a new bunch of young gamers and they seem to get GTA by default.

@CynicalGamer yeah, every year there are thousands of people born and so there's always new people to buy it. Its like saying "why are people still going to school, hasn't everyone been to school by now?” and totally missing that it's younger people going, not the same old people. Likewise, there are tens of thousands of people that were, say, 7 when GTAV came out and now they're 15 or so. The only thing that's gonna stop it is GTAVI.

@Grumblevolcano free for ps plus members.

@Bamila Only online is free for PS+ members.

@Grumblevolcano literally said on ps5 reveal back in October last year. 1 million in game money for ps plus members every month until release of the new version. PS plus also get to upgrade to the new version for free for 6 months after the release date. Then it will be paid. If you talking about purely campaign , then who plays it for campaign. Everyone buys it for GTA online.

@Grumblevolcano https://gamerant.com/free-ps-plus-games-november-2021-gta-online/

Misread the message but like I said no one play campaign. It's constantly in the charts, because GTA online doesn't have standalone yet, therefore once GTA standalone gets released ,no on will buy GTA V anymore.

As much as I love MK8D and GTAV that top 3 is well depressing, it really shocks me that Nintendo haven't pushed out a new Mario Kart on Switch but if an old port is still racking up the sales why put yourselfs out?

@Bamila If Rockstar includes game money with the physical release, plenty of PS+ players will probably still buy the physical version even though they get GTA Online for free.

POV: you're a British person looking at your monthly shopping list.

1) Crumpets
2) Black Tea
3) Milk
4) Sugar
5) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
6) Grand Theft Auto V
7) Porridge oats
8) Rolls of paper for wiping your bum in the loo

Blimey~

@wiiware Facts. Their efficiency is remarkable.

Ratchet and clank having legs like that simply proves never skip leg day boiiiiis.

Seems like Insomniac is the studio to currently beat. Crazy to see Ratchet still pulling high sales numbers!

Spider-Man MM and R&C: RA still doing pretty well. Kudos to Insomiac, just imagine what they will do with the next Spider-Man game

Hang on… where’s Croc?!

Very impressed with Avengers. Didn't expect the DLC to increase sales that much.

Played the DLC with a buddy and I can't say I fully enjoyed it. There are too many technical issues.

@Gamer_Girl_ Mario Kart deluxe hasn’t really left the charts either, even though there are plenty of other decent switch Games available now. Are most UK gamers just unadventurous or something?

@Yomogi here here.

@UltimateOtaku91 Hopefully though the tales of games arn’t exactly top sellers.

@dasd2 Demon souls had its moment though I feel many consumers got cold feet over the difficulty curve.

Good to see Insomniac is keeping some flavour in amongst the otherwise turgid, dull bowl of stagnancy.

Glad to see more sales for Avengers as it might convince SE to do a year 2 focused on Ultron what the game is clearly building towards.

I guess people are never going to see GTA6.

im jaded to gta at this point , whats bothering me now is wheres the new mario kart at ? whens a new mario kart coming out . the last one i liked was mario kart wii , mario kart 8 didn't appeal to me so i skipped , and now i really want to play a mario kart game. i've been waiting for about a decade now . i wish the servers for mkwii were still up.

@wiiware
No question. Great to see Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart back in the top 5. Still currently my favorite game of 2021.

@lolwhatno cheers pal Haha, loosely based on me
I just love my gaming mate, xbox, playstation, pc or switch (for nintendo) I don't care. Opted out of silly platform wars years ago
