We're not quite done with 2019 yet! Let's welcome the new decade by taking a look at the last one's final PS Store downloads chart. Notably, The Witcher III: Wild Hunt nabbed the #7 spot last month. I wonder why…

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Grand Theft Auto V, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order sit comfortably atop the PS4 chart, while virtual reality behemoths Beat Saber, Superhot VR, and Job Simulator rule the PS VR list.

I got Best Saber, in January, amazing game. Expected Blood and Truth to be ranked higher.

No Death Standing at all is weird, but they almost didn't discount it, I'm one of those waiting for a bigger discount. For most of the month it costed 70 so it was better to get it physical cheaper anywhere though, might explain a bit.

GTA was $15 for a decent chunk of the month too so that's unsurprising

New consoles getting opened on Christmas and the first thing people want is GTA V.

Also many have suspected that it has something to do with them putting game + microtransaction money bundles on sale for cheaper than the microtransaction money alone, so those with a disc will re-buy the game for the microtransaction money.

GTA still is interesting because it never seems to be that high in any of the major retail territories. It must be selling gangbusters in small countries.

That, or there's some money laundering scheme I don't know about.

Edit: was talking about Europe, obviously it being high this month in both territories is because of a good deal.

I'm just glad Modern Warfare and Infinity Ward managed to survive, BOMBA was underselling it.

lol

Now really, I'm really surprised God of War and Spider-Man are still up there after a whole year and a half (almost two for GOW). Amazing achievements for Sony.

Have to note Rainbow Six Siege also. It's another game in addition of GTA V that always seem to be in these charts. Second best legs of the gen.

This is true lol, I've bought copies of this game on PC for that MTX cash since it's literally half off compared to $100.

It's wild to think that the open world market if done right with good MP can last this long.

Sure if we are naming games with great legs then Minecraft deserves a shoutout as well. That said, GTA V is a completely different beast.

Other than the fact that it's on sale. Until GTAV has direct competition (really only GTA6 will be) it will continue to sell incredibly well. RDR2 has online but it's not the same. So GTA Online is a very unique experience.



Yeah.

But how are there that many people who still don't have the game buying it every month?

I bought GTA V 3 times. Once for the PS3, once for the PS4, and I just bought it for PC for the VR mod.🤮

Wow, reviews really hurt Death Stranding terribly. What a shame, it is a different kind of game, sure, but holy fuck is it addictive, I keep coming back to it and could go for hours, it's gonna take me a while to finish it.

GTA 5 is the most impressive entertainment product of all time sales wise. What a BEAST
