Are you questioning the numbers in this chart? We know there are some games many people buy as soon as they get a PS5, been like that for awhile now.

i wonder if it correlates with PS5 shipments. Whenever there´s a large new influx of console owners, they buy the exclusives :D
So when it says "UK Boxed Charts" that means physical game sales right? So any idea how many units this represents? Are people still buying boxed games on a large scale? I don't know anyone in my friends group that buys anything physical anymore. Genuinely curious of this metric as it seems to be held up as a standard on how the industry is trending on this site all the time.
Yes and iirc it's 70% digital here in the UK, someone can correct me
That must be it. Sadly, Demon's Souls and Returnal are not even in the top 10.
II don't even recommend those games to people who get PS5's. I know they are way too hard for a lot of people to spend 70 dollars on
Demon's was prob my favorite game last year
I don't think Returnal has even been in the UK Top 40 since release month. It's not going to pop up in the top 10 any time soon.
Its was in the top 20 for the digital charts last month
Its was in the top 20 for the digital charts last month
That's number 15 in a PSN chart that only includes native PS5 releases (no PS4 games, no multiplatform releases, etc).
Last time it charted in the UK multiplatform gaming charts was May 27th at number 34. Has been out of the top 40 since then.
If you can't handle me at my worst you don't deserve me at my best.
The boxed sales are so small I don't know why we are so obsessed with them here. Hades was in the top 10 last month and it sold 3000 physical copies.
How do you imagine this chart would change with digital? Hardware sales aren't digital and the sku splits usually align with the hardware splits and I don't think there would be a drastic difference.
yeah, I think with resident evil 8 or one of those games that had a severe split once the digital sales came out it was proven that there was only like a 5% or less difference between physical and digital
That would be pretty dope. Both that and a Resistance Trilogy Remaster would be lovely.
That bundle is long gone, now there is a ps5 plus pick two games or accessories.
It does seem like the UK is getting the most stock in Europe lately.
yeh it does seem like it.
The biggest selling game in the UK market will release next month and Sony probably wants to make sure it has the stock available to take advantage of it
Yea that's what I find silly. The moment more PS5s come into stock, lots (relative) copies are sold as a result. :D
So you see games completely disappear and then come back to the top all based on the hardware availability. :D
Jim is not letting the competition breath back at home i see.
He doesn't have to try hard, Series X stock has been pitiful in the UK
i'm losing hope for that more and more since they are seemly going to let the double anniversary thing go by without saying anything *shady eye looking* ;) jstevenson
The thing is, PS5 is even outselling the Switch with ease in the last couple months. Which it still can't in most places WW (i think?)
Anyway, what i said was obviously a joke
I bought a Series X in the uk from an online retailer last month, there has been stock just being scalped.
(can't find numbers for this, so won't state it as fact)
It has been pitiful

Yeah, I don't really find it silly; it's showing important data as to what people get when they buy a console.
The same applies to monthly charts. For the most part, I believe those evergreen games (GTA5, Breath of the Wild, Spider-Man) on NPD charts are likely games people pick up when they buy a new console.
Seeing weekly fluctuations is honestly really interesting for me.
For god of war and horizon I feel it doesn't make much difference, those games were designed for ps4.
Wonder if Spidey gets a prolonged boost thanks to the huge success of the No Way Home trailer. It's got a lot of people hyped and people will be in the mood for some Spidey action. Of course the actual movie should see a renewed interest at Xmas.
It's really bad. On my trackers, once again I'm seeing a drop of PS5's hitting Asda today. Series X? Wasteland for over a month now. Honestly, I'm borderline Series S at this point.
Expect it to be the same next month. UK stock for PS5 is becoming plentiful here, with lots of regular drops.
I had one in my basket from ASDA today just to check the stock situation, and I was 20 minutes late to the stock being advertised on social media (which is a bit of a record for the UK). They're getting big batches in now and it's only likely to increase towards the end of the year.
