Not really, the fact that 50% of Resident evil 8’s sales were on PlayStation 5 meant that those 2nd week sales were eaten by the release of a much more popular franchise.

Returnal will most likely live as a niche series on PS5 like Bloodborne
These are UK charts :russ:

Xbox users must be waiting for gamepass deal on RE8. Another 80/20 split




  • 49% of RE8 sales were on PS5, 31% on PS4 and 20% on Xbox
  • RE8 is the 3rd biggest PS5 launch to date, behind Spider-Man Miles Morales and Assassin's Creed Valhalla
  • After it's first week of sales it's already the 7th best selling PS5 game to date, behind Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Demon's Souls, Watch Dogs Legion and Sackboy: A Big Adventure

@MeachTheMonster , @winb83 @PS5 I thought yall said Gamepass is phenomenally succesful for publishers so why isn’t this game on Gamepass? :mjgrin:

When it comes to 3rd party games, if Microsoft doesn’t secure a gamepass deal, it’s pretty much dead and even then, they not only had a gamepass deal for Yakuza Like A Dragon they had timed next gen exclusivity and it still sold better on PlayStation. This is why they’ll never get a Persona game. It’s just not worth it for publishers to bother with Xbox unless they offer them that cash-money guarantee.

It’s also funny because all these xbox fans want Microsoft to buy Sega, when we all know its pretty much a death sentence locking japanese games to a Microsoft platform. They think Sega would boost their presence in Japan but its far more likely Microsoft would just drag them down. It’s why mistwalker failed, after fall.

It’s like paying kids to come to your birthday party. Expect to see more exclusive and timed exclusive japanese games come to PlayStation first

Its did 76% better in sales compared to last years release of Remake 3.

Returnal flopped even worse

Returnal suffered in UK do to it being undershipped. The digital sales tell a different story. It was #4 and #3 for top downloaded games in April, and it came out on the last day of April.
