nice. And Fatal Frame sold 120k. Wo Long had piss poor sales thanks to GP. Didn't even sell 100k. Neither did Wild Hearts. KT believes Rise of the Ronin can sell 5mil, so does Sony as well by publishing it. We'll see if it can capture that GoT vibe

I'm glad to see this selling well.

Wild Hearts is really underrated in my opinion.

I'm looking forward to Rise of the Ronin.

Game Pass living rent free in Sony fans head is insane.

Sales in Japan for the games you listed aren't amazing so are we to believe Game Pass that almost no one uses in Japan somehow tanked sales of these games in that region as well?

Wild Hearts wasn't anything amazing.

Wo Long was at best a good game but certainly nothing special nor had a huge advertising budget to make it a huge seller for a game of its calibre.

Both of the above would have sold even more poorly if the quality and marketing for the games was the same but exclusive to PS consoles.

If RotR sells well it will be because it is a better game and/or has a bigger marketing budget.

or it could be it will be the best of the new IPs by a wide margin. Sony was given the pick of the litter. I'm actually pissed about the whole Wo Long situation as RoTK period is one of my favorite historical subject matters. Of course it's KT so the wailing guitar riffs, the awful Dynasty Warrior skins, etc...make the obligatory appearance. Then throw it out there on a platform knowing it will never sell probably means the end of RoTK as a game.

Hands down. Star ocean 2 remake. Shame it didn't make it to any of their lists. One other thing imo sea of stars was better then chained echoes.

VideoChums173d ago

Excellent choices! Both are great games that we considered but Chained Echoes edged out Sea of Stars by a hair and Star Ocean 2 almost made the cut. There were so many phenomenal RPGs this year that some tough decisions had to be made; that's for sure! 😅

shinoff2183172d ago

Appreciate the reply. I didn't expect that.

No mention of Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed. That's ridiculous. One of the best dlc ever.

VideoChums172d ago

Absolutely! And thanks for your feedback - we will consider an award for DLC next year.
