UK Charts: Princess Peach: Showtime Can't Usurp EA From Its Throne

It's a fairly busy week for the UK boxed charts, with several new entries making it into the top ten. First up, of course, is Princess Peach: Showtime! coming in at number three. A respectable debut, to be sure, though it wasn't enough to beat EA Sports FC 24 at number one and Capcom's new action RPG Dragon's Dogma II at number two.

These articles make a lot of sense when you look at that Platform Breakdown, PS4 is outselling Xbox SX not to mention PS5's sales.

Stellar Blade has sold more physical copies than Dragon's Dogma 2 in Japan, despite PS5 exclusivity

By the looks of it, PlayStation 5 exclusivity does not hurt the sales of Stellar Blade in Japan as the game has passed 90,000 sold physical copies.

Stellar Blade really deserves way more praise than it got, devs have been adding more and more content, for free, since release and the game already was great to begin with!

BrettAwesome4d ago

More than it got? It got tons, by everyone except the sad wankers who's idea of a sex life, is pulling on their dicks while watching big fake cgi titties 😂

gerbintosh4d ago

Don't see the difference between cgi titties and fake boobs. Also no difference to wanking it to either one of them since both aren't physically there

RiseNShine3d ago

Salty that the game is doing well hm? ;) I suggest some cheese with your whine.

Skuletor3d ago

So you're saying the people that like watching CGI tits didn't praise the game? An educated guess is you meant the opposite.

@Risenwhine
What the fuck are you talking about? I think it looks like an awesome game. I don't get the sentiment that it didn't get as much praise as it deserved. The only ones who's been shit talking it, are sad wankers with no sex life. Am I whining? How? 😂

I think we can safely claim that Stellar Blade 2 is confirmed!
I got it day one, i have some backlog due to RDR2 i just platinumed.. i will get to Stellar Blade in the near future

shinoff21834d ago

Same but I'm hitting yakuza right now. Stellar blade looks cool though.

Capcom really dropped the ball with DG2. They had easy success on their hand but instead with their stupid decisions ruined the games success

Stellar blade is an amazing game and deserves all the success. For all the artificial hate it got from people who had no interest in the game to begin with this shows if you make a good game it will sell. The so called 1st party drought from PlayStation has meant 4 exclusives in 2024 so far. Other companies need to learn how to run a business and plan for the future

Stellar blade is performing very impressively there, DD2 didn't do well because word of mouth destroyed it's reputation and not about the Microtransactions or performance, bad word of mouth about how the game lacks so many things that were in the first one

Redemption-644d ago

DS2 sold 2.5M in a little over a week, what the hell are you talking about?

H94d ago

"there", that's Japan, this article is about Japan, the bad word of mouth is about Japan

Hereandthere4d ago

Exclusives matter. No matter what bumbling phil and bond try to say, exclusives is why you buy a console.

The_Hooligan4d ago

How dare you speak common sense!!??

jznrpg4d ago

It would if they added a lot more combat and didn’t focus on graphics

XiNatsuDragnel4d ago

Stellar blade is great excited for 2

anast4d ago

They dropped the ball with dogma. SB is a solid game, it just had to weather the social storm.

shinoff21834d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Said that dd2 was missing things the first one did,like mass effect 2? I haven't played it so I'm really asking.

spss114d ago

I've played both and I have no idea what people say when they claim it's "incomplete". I've only noticed new things in comparison to DD1 (I would give a list but spoilers). Sometimes I wonder if some people actually played DD1 or maybe they remember it differently. Anyways, if you liked the first one and want more of that, you'll probably like DD2.

anast3d ago

Yeah, the content, combat movement is slower, less vocations, the armor system, it's more simplified, and dungeons are lacking. It's like they rushed it out or something, but didn't forget to add in youtuber pawns and micros. At least ME 2 upped the content.

"Dragon's Dogma 2 asks the player to immerse themselves into its brutal action role-playing world - but rewards those willing to play by its rules."

Review - Princess Peach: Showtime! (Switch) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "I absolutely love this for Peach. She’s a fantastic character, and her personality really shined in Super Mario Odyssey, The Super Mario Bros Movie and here, now, with Princess Peach: Showtime! This is such a trip of a title where it feels like the player is doing absolutely everything under the sun. You get to have that passion for every incarnation for just a short time, then move on to something different. Being able to sample so many interactions and scenarios keeps the game fresh from start to finish, allowing players to revel and replay the plays they enjoy and just quickly bust through the ones they don’t. There’s charm, there’s cuteness, there’s a generous difficulty curve and there’s a plot that passes the Bechdel test. This is the right step forward for Peach into the spotlight, and I hope Showtime! is the first of many more adventures to come."
