Christopher Dring of GamesIndustry.biz explained: The Last of Us Part 1 Was the game in physical format? best seller in the UK last week. The numbers saved by the PS5 remake don’t look particularly great, though.
While waiting to read the full chart, Dring explains on Twitter that The Last of Us Part 1 has sold for approx. half of Saints Row In the first week we remember that it was in the first place in the UK rankings.
Update 11:45 am: The full UK rankings are now available.
The journalist’s intent is not to make a comparison with a cross-platform game, which certainly doesn’t make much sense, but rather to point out that the remake of Naughty Dog sells far fewer copies of a game, recording only reasonable numbers in return. throwing… It’s no secret that Saints Row was among other things reluctantly received by the international press and public.
However, there are many factors to consider, such as that Dring’s data only includes retail copies and not digital ones, so it’s impossible to get a full picture. Also, the journalist points out that remakes, refactorings, and ports often record lower numbers than brand-new games (he mentions Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima, for example).
Inevitably, however, these are not considered very effective, despite Sony’s marketing and Naughty Dog’s attempts to explain why The Last of Us Part 1 is a true remake and not a remake.
Since the announcement, the game has been the protagonist of heated debates on the internet, particularly over the decision to sell it. full price And thanks to the remake for PS4, it’s all about needing a similar makeover for The Last of Us, the first that ultimately still holds itself well graphically.
