Congrats to Insomniac! Deserved.
Well deserved, too. I was ready to write the game off, but I beat it last week and enjoyed every damn second of it.

Anybody who is assuming that Sackboy is lacking on PS4 needs to watch John's excellent DF video.
Definitely a wait for sub $20 game for me personally. I know it'll be on sale soon enough.
Im shocked to see GTAV still up there for ps4. You'd think everyone who wanted to play it, would.
Well, it was one of like two games for the ps5 and definitely the best looking
The general vibe I've gotten from Sackboy (not having played it) is that it's a good game that also happens to be a decent showcase for the new hardware, so it doesn't surprise me at all that it's not tearing up the PS4 charts where there's a lot more competition. Like if you've got a PS5 and want a game for your kids (or really like 3D platformers), chances are you're grabbing Sackboy, but if you have a PS4 and want a kid game, there's a ton of options.
Demons Souls was robbed
Glad to see it ranking pretty high on both lists. Its the first souls game I've played and its incredible.

Obviously Sackboy was a game PS5 owners bought to fill out their library more so than a PS4 owner would need to but is there a possibility some weren't even aware it came out on PS4? Because it not even charting seems really strange.
It was nothing to do with options but they way Sony market the game.
They have being saying is a ps5 game when is also a ps4 game, which is the doubest thing i ever saw a company do.
Hats off to Miles. What a great game. Happy to see Demon's Souls sitting pretty high considering that it's $70 (which is dumb as hell).
I think it's price is pretty high at 35€, maybe that's part of the reason.
Niche game? Souls games sold more than 30 million copies.
Edit: maybe you are just being sarcastic.
They did that with Miles Morales too and that's selling exceptionally well on PS4. I still think it's a case of Sackboy being a prime example of a game that benefits from being a launch title - good enough to be worth playing & a nice way to check out your new system's capabilities, but not a 10/10 must-play that would stand out on a more crowded marketplace or platform.
There's a meme about DS bombing? Either I'm really out of touch or that's just pretty obscure.
They feature Spider Man with a big poster in the ps store when you open it, Sackboy is no were to be seing, the marketing of the game reads like "PS5 Game".
That is the main reason IMO, doubt is because the game is not a 10/10.
Not priced correctly at all. I was shocked when I saw the game was $40. I was expecting $19.99 or maybe $24.99 so I'm waiting for a sale.
I love looking at differences between North America and Europe…Cold War & Miles flip-flop…Valhalla & Demon's flip-flop…Of course Watch Dogs being set in UK is probably why it was higher in EU vs NA…And NBA being more popular in NA over EU is why its higher on the former…Borderlands being #6 in EU vs #11 in NA AND WRC 9 being #10 in EU vs #16 in NA are both pretty interesting (most of the other top games are within 2 or 3 spots)
I get what you're saying, but I for one didn't buy it for filler. I had a choice of either Demon's Souls, Assassin's creed or Sackboy and a combination of the reviews (the words strangely didn't seem to reflect the scores given) and a chance to play something fun with my youngest kid won me out. I'm glad it did - it's great and I hope it won't continue to be ignored.
Not an actual meme just the idea it didn't sell well has been pushed in the last few PAL threads.
Think those who got a PS5 already are more likely to be enthusiasts who would be interested in a game like Sackboy. While on PS4 there is a much bigger casual audience that has more choice of games and went with more mainstream titles. Which unlike Spider-Man, is not something Sackboy can claim.
I have posted it on the MC thread but chart is unit based. With BF sales on PSN, it will skewed towards Discounted titles
Some nice surprises on those lists. Demon's Souls nicely at the top and No Man's Sky ahead of new releases like Dirt 5.
