BG3 seems higher than expected. That's pretty awesome.

COD dying any day now....................................

 

[Flabagast]

Go Cyberpunk

Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted 2 at number one for PSVR2 in North America, beating Among Us VR and Arizona Sunshine 2, most likely because of the movie. Either way, very much deserved, it's a great game.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

GTAV: The Beast The Will Never Die

PSVR really needs Half Life Alyx.

GTAV: The Beast The Will Never Die

It can't die man. It'll be charting with GTA 6 in 2025. Watch! lol

PSVR really needs Half Life Alyx.

100%

Even in a down year COD is still king. Sony should give serious consideration to having a good studio work on a modern earth based twitch shooter (if not already in progress). Even if MS goes all out on revenue for the next couple / few years, the day will come (maybe this year?) when COD is day 1 on GP, and another day will come when they could call it exclusive. Entirely possible COD does fall off one of these years, but if I was making a list of paid games that would currently be devastating to a platform to lose access to it would be COD, GTA, Madden, FIFA and NBA 2k. Any of those could get a lot of people changing platforms.

Alan Wake 2 is selling well!

The opportunity is there. BF has shit the bed, and something like PUBG is more of a PC thing. The only notable modern day console shooters are I think COD and RS: Siege. The rest are Fortnite or sci-fi Destiny/Overwatch/Halo kinds of stuff.

I highly doubt any of those Hell Let Loose or Enlisted b-tier WWII shooters have caught fire on consoles either.

Maybe a new SOCOM game will be a big hit.
