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.
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!
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
Exclusives matter. No matter what bumbling phil and bond try to say, exclusives is why you buy a console.
They dropped the ball with dogma. SB is a solid game, it just had to weather the social storm.
"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."

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."
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.
