The PlayStation 5 was the best-selling console in the US in December 2023 in terms of units sold and dollar sales, according to figures from Circana (formerly The NPD Group). Circana includes the dates for the five week period of November 26 to December 30.
Shahmeer from eXputer: "I've always wondered whether the success of Hogwarts Legacy had much to do with nostalgia. The RPG is great but certainly not free of issues."
I totally agree, and no replay value for sure but enjoyed every minute I was playing it. Not a Harry Potter fan but still really enjoyed
I still haven’t finished it, mostly due to it not holding my interest after 20 hours. Wouldn’t say it’s a bad game, wouldn’t say it’s amazing I really can’t judge it fully due to not completing it.
lol are people upset because I said I put 20 hours into the game and that because I haven’t finished I won’t criticize it’s value or if nostalgia generates it’s success? That’s funny
Harry Potter is one of the biggest IPs in the world. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why it sold so much. It’s a great game on top of that, so the math kind of maths here.
Can’t wait for the article on if Zelda or Mario only sold well due to nostalgia.
They're trying to find a fake reason for its success...the mainstream hate how successful it became because of the writer behind the series.
So now they want to say that people bought it not because they liked it but only because of nostalgia....as if harry potter is really that old or even a classic IP in the game industry.
That doesn't even make any sense. The author made those statements before the game released. People knew ahead of time and wanted a boycott.
But most people knew any boycott would only punish the people who worked on the game and put their hearts into it (like most boycotts).
So many people bought it, enjoyed it immensely, and moved on.
@CrimsonWing69 A greatly in demand IP only takes you so far, if it was crap quality then the reviews and word of mouth would have stalled its sales. But it is a good game (judged by Metacritic and user reviews) and that has given the game legs.
ngl, it got me in the first half hour
after that, a big let down, mediocre at every step
only fans are praising it
In what way was it mediocre, can't really find anything about it that was mediocre and I'm not a hp fan
It's still a good game almost time for a 2nd playthrough, the passion they put into it is🔥🔥 crazy how after a couple months or a year folks get to complaining about this n that about certain games smh childish mfs
A Hogwarts Legacy player came across a gigantic tree under Bakar's tower, which might be hiding a grotto in it.
Beyond the routine of completing quests and hunting for mysterious places, there are tons of additional methods to enjoy Hogwarts Legacy. One such way is the creation of a stunning and content-rich Vivarium, as done by a Reddit user Zvak-Keh.
Surprise Surprise
Sales dont matter right........ right
It's almost as if... making great games... will drive more people to your ecosystem. I wonder who needs to learn that important fact.
Color me surprised.
just look at Nintendo's chart at the bottom. LOL nobody else but a select few is gonna crack open that chart anytime soon. it's both a blessing and curse for Nintendo as far as their next platform is concerned. anything less than what they are delivering this gen would spell disaster for their next system because they are almost alone in supporting that platform. they have to keep it up because they have settled to be the worst place to play multiplats. the longer they take to churn out games (like with the Wii U) for their next system will be the downfall for them.
But...but....the discount.....
And Dollar sales of Sony video game hardware set a new 1-month record for the manufacturer, beating the previous Sony high set in December 2022.
