Peach did amazing higher than MariovsDK
Dragon's Dogma 2 sold 4 times less on PS than the first game
Rise of the ronin doesn't look good

Crazy week honestly, peach is doing better in Japan than expected and than in the west (which is kinda expected since the whole female lead hype is just social media only thing)

Peach sold around 10,000 more with six times the user base. So it's kind of weird to argue that it did 'amazing' and the other two did bad. Taking the user base into account you would expect a far higher difference actually.

You are comparing userbase while not comparing marketing budget and anticipation, DD2 was #1 most anticipated for 3 weeks in a row 3 times more than peach, add that to the fact that DD2 And Ronin didn't boost PS5 Hardware sale in fact it decreased while Switch increased as per usual

Sure there are several factors, but the user base is one of them too. 30 million Switch consoles vs 5 million PS5s is a context to keep in mind when directly comparing sales.

Peach had 77k, DD2 68k, and rise 64k...i like how one's amazing and one not looking good.

And wulong launched on ps4 and 5 combined at 47k...so i don't know how 64k only on PS5 for rise is not looking good.

Nintendo logic is amazing. Same level of cope as when Bayonetta 3 launched to 41k....

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a great game, but only if you take your time

Alex writes: "I have a habit of trying to rush through games, so Dragon's Dogma 2 was a nice reminder that taking it slow isn't the end of the world."

Review - Dragon's Dogma 2 (Xbox Series X) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Jordan Hawes: "Dragon’s Dogma 2 is exactly what I wanted; an updated sequel that still hold true to what made the first game so beloved. While it may not be perfect with its lack luster visuals and performance, it more than makes up for in deep gameplay and addicting exploration. The Pawn system still remains one of the coolest party systems in an RPG, and I love the dynamic feel of them. This is absolutely a game of the year contender and may be my personal game of the year already."
