It's Japan. The lack of a physical release isn't going to stop the Xbox One version of the game from selling its 12 copies. Every Xbox One/PS4 game is effectively a PS4 exclusive there and nobody's really saying otherwise. 38 minutes ago, Goukosan said: Hence the huge hardware sales bump for PS4 when both games released. Oh, is that the reason? The lack of retail copies for the Xbox One version of these games is why PS4 hardware is getting a sales bump from these games launching?

The games are effectively PS4 exclusives in Japan. Exclusives sells consoles. More BREAKING news at 11pm stay tuned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If Xbox wasn't such a flop all it would do is steal some of that share. It wouldn't affect the number of total sales, it would just split those numbers on two platforms.

Now you're being purposely obtuse Japan: where multiplat form game on Switch and PS4 sell similarly and Xbox is a non factor. No Switch release and no XB1 physical release effectively make the PS4 version an exclusive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My PS4 exclusive comment is a response to this Gem from DynamiteCop. MY comments are more related to how exclusives sell hardware... not really commenting on software sales because these games will sell regardless. I agree with you that the sales would be split if Xbox wasn't a flop and then the PS4 wouldn't see such a huge hardware bump from the release of these two games. But since they're effectively exclusive to PS4 because Xbox1 is a non factor and there was no Switch release, PS4 hardware got a nice huge bump this week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

54212 432 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 252k seemed low for a mainline RE game so I got curious and checked. First week sales: 252k REMake 2 187k RE7 634k RE6 143k RE5 Gold Edition (Re-release) 319k RE5 142k RE4 GameCube 243k RE4 PS2 I double-checked the RE6 number. Man the marketing paid off for that dud.

Purist 134 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Launch week of RE2 Remake and KH3 , and PS4 only manage to beat Switch by a few hundred units. Japan is a lost cause for Sony. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
