Detroit: Become Human becomes the [7th Week that a] PlayStation exclusive [is] No. 1 this year

There are three new entries in the Top 3 this week, led by Sony’s ‘Detroit: Become Human’ which is the 10th different PlayStation exclusive title to reach No1 so far this year.  Microsoft’s new format exclusive ‘State of Decay 2’ has to settle for a debut at No2, while ‘Dark Souls Remastered’ enters at No3.

[AspiringProGenji]

Boy, what does that say?

[-Foxtrot]

“...whatever”

[bouzebbal]

hardwork pays off, it seems like!

[The Wood]

Whoosh. . . . Over peoples heads. . . But then again. . Some people really haven't played gow yet. . . Yeah. . I know, weird

[Highlife]

If you have to explain the joke you failed. And they are just disagrees you'll live.

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

@Foxtrot

Calling people morons because they may not remember a certain section of a game or played the game? Also having to explain a joke that failed completely... cringe

[Veneno]

Lame joke.

[-Foxtrot]

It's not even a joke...jeez

It's just a quote

[BehindTheRows]

You calling people 'morons' doesn't help you look any better. Consider, like them, that you made an error in the message. Nothing to get so defensive over.

OT: Loving the game and am very happy to see it succeed!

[-Foxtrot]

Try to have some light hearted fun...p*** people off as they get offended

N4G in a nutshell

" I just wanted to put a random quote in here that's all, there's no joke behind it!" cringe"

Despite the fact that's the EXACT same thing AspiringProGenji has done...riiiiiiight.

[Skankinruby]

'Try to have some light hearted fun...p*** people off as they get offended'
And then when you call these idiots out for their own stupidity the comment police on this stupid site will suspend you......

[Ricegum]

No need to call people morons if they don't get your quote buddy.

[Link2DaFutcha]

Hahaha, just got through that part in GoW, wish there was a "smack atreus upside the head" button.

[BadElf]

LOL at all the "cringe" comments to you. WHy are they so offended?

[ULTp0ltergeist]

This is a game?

[Realms]

Or some people got the joke and thought is was dumb and disagreed, but sure they are idiots for disagreeing with you. SMH

[Knushwood Butt]

Thing is there are many more Atreus quotes that would have been:

1) Easily recognized
2) Funny

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

It's especially sweet to see Detroit have success. After beating the game, I can see just how well it was done and how much work went into the game, it's easily Quantic Dream's best game in my opinion.

It's probably too early for this but this is the first Quantic Dream game I would like a sequel to, it's just one of the most engaging and memorial games I've played in a while.

[ArchangelMike]

I would love a sequel, but with just Connor, he had by far the best gameplay.

I robot comes to mind as a possible type of storyline, with a 'deviant' android trying to evade capture and being framed etc etc. But yeah there's lots of potential for the story to be developed further.

Only thing is, Quantic Dream don't do sequels.

[MuddyWaters]

I have yet to play it but it does look like their best work. I'm happy to see Sony have confidence in them to do games they want to do.

[AmUnRa]

Skankin... Calling people serious idiots tells a lot about you.....just like Foxtrot calling people morons..if it was a joke he could have to to just end his post with a emo😋

[ArchangelMike]

Well for starters it says that the risks that Sony is willing to take is paying off, and that the investment and freedom they give their developers is invaluable. And also that whatever the games media think of David Cage and his work, the playstation fans obvious still love his work, and Detroit is his best by far.

[DarkVoyager]

“Detroit: Become Human becomes the 10th PlayStation exclusive to hit No.1 this year“

Amazing. Can’t wait to play the game myself. Also super excited for Spider-Man!

[gamer7804]

says that "if you're not first, you're last!". 2nd place is terrible for a budget game that released at 29.99... /s

Of course playstation is doing very well in the exclusive dept, that doesn't mean that state of decay isn't doing really well.

[DJStotty]

That State of Decay isnt doing too bad either

[trooper_]

Did I miss something? Who mentioned State of Decay?

[Kribwalker]

@trooper

“Microsoft’s new format exclusive ‘State of Decay 2’ has to settle for a debut at No2, while ‘Dark Souls Remastered’ enters at No3.”

right there in the summary

[DJStotty]

@trooper

The article? or did you not read it and just saw become human number 1 and become damp.

[Gazondaily]

@Krib

LOL- oh dear xD

[AspiringProGenji]

Because it is a new game. I bet It is gonna drop hard just like SoT did.

[Kribwalker]

@genji
SOT was the 3rd best selling game of the month, stayed in the top 10 all of april, and just recently left the top 20, after 2 months on the market, with it being given away with gamepass as well. That’s hardly dropping hard, Where has Ni no kuni 2 been this whole time?

[Trez1234]

kirb@ Ni nu kuni 2 ( and 1)unlike Sot doesnt rely on one or two territories. persona 5, nier automata or even games like Naruto etc...don't light the Uk or Npd charts but they end up selling more worldwide.

I'm not saying it sold more than Sot but bragging about the result of one or 2 territories especially if those results aren't groundbreaking is nonesense because one console relies on fewer markets than the other. why you think Microsoft is rushing in the PC market and Sony is taking it's time?.

[mandingo]

1. Nothing else is out
2. Sony usually makes good games

Although this game is average to be fair

[mandingo]

Yea sea of thieves and state of decay are pretty bad. All the games on that list have been are for quite a while minus god of war and state of decay. Why would Detroit not be at the top of the list?

[italiangamer]

6th consecutive week with a PlayStation exclusive on top, bravo Sony. Spiderman will shatter records for sure in September.

[SpringHeeledJack]

I'm not surprised. Been watching this on twitch and a lot of big streamers are loving this game. It really is a great story. Those troll reviews giving it 4/10 were clearly just looking for clicks.

[SuperSaiyanGod41]

I gotta agree, the way this game tells it's story of the 3 Android's and brings everything all together was a genius way of telling a story plus there are many endings that left u thinking how superb a job they did with this game. Besides the clunkiness controls I had and a few areas I would have love to explore more the game graphics are simply mind boggling mixed with a beautiful story. I gave it a 9.2 out of 10 simply for the game it was meant to be which it did a very good job on and deducted points off the clunky controls which if there was better gameplay I could see this game having many 10's across the board.

Even crapgamer gave it a 9 out of 10 and said he was going to play it multiple times because of the great story and different outcomes.

[Nyxus]

Well deserved!

[UCForce]

Well done, Sony and QD ! Another win for PS4.

[DJStotty]

what did they win? just curious?

[UCForce]

Well, it’s about competition which company deliver better exclusive. Was it Sony or MS ? Of course it is Sony. Well, they are not perfect for sure. But Sony keep their momentum up and up. I can’t say the same thing to MS.

[DJStotty]

From a fans perspective I agree, from a company's perspective as long as they make profit, they aren't really too fussed if they come top or second

[TheOttomatic91]

Bravo to Sony and Bravo to everyone who bought these fantastic games, show publishers we still love SP games 👍

[outsider1624]

I second that. Shout out to all those who showed their support to these games.

[Inzo]

So one PS exclusive replaced by another PS exclusive at no. 1. Whats that about SP games again? Ironic that State of decay is no. 2 ;)

[ILostMyMind]

The game has to sell well when the last one of that platform came six months ago.

[sagapo]

Detroit, GOW, Yakuza. What are the other ones?

[Nyxus]

Shadow of the Colossus. But I'm not sure about the rest.

[Kribwalker]

I believe they meant to say 10th week a PS4 exclusive was number 1 this year, not the 10th exclusive game that was number one this year.

[Christopher]

Trying to figure this out myself.

NNK2, Detroit, GoW, Yakuza 6, PJ Monsters 2, Neptunia, etc. But, I don't think most of those charted at #1. I think yakuza 6 opened below GoW and never went up, in fact, so that's out.

[Kribwalker]

and NI No Kuni opened below sea of thieves, Its definitely 10 weeks not 10 games

[Nyxus]

Someone on ResetEra said they meant the last 12 months, so that includes games from 2017. But it's not formulated very well, to say the least.

[Christopher]

This is becoming "The Week to Prove Why Everyone Needs Copy Editors"

[Christopher]

So, here are the #1s for the year so far by week

1: FIFA 18
2: GTAV
3: CoDWW3
4: MHW
5: MHW
6: SotC
7: FIFA 18
8: FIFA 18
9: FIFA 18
10: GTAV
11: Burnout Paradise Remstered
12: Sea of Thieves
13: FC5
14: FC5
15: FC5
16: GoW
17: GoW
18: GoW
19: GoW
20: GoW
21: Detroit

[Kribwalker]

Maybe they meant 10th week in the individual format chart, i don’t get how else the company tracking it would get it that wrong lol

[FallenAngel1984]

What are the other 9 PlayStation exclusives to do so this year

[FallenAngel1984]

Lmao the title got update to reflect the error in the original headline

[theshredded]

Game totally deserves it, my GOTY so far!

[Platformgamer]

god of war is still my goty but detroit is awesome too

[TheGoodestBoi]

Single player FTW!

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

Holy cow, PS4 has already had 10 exclusives this year so far?

[kevnb]

I think most systems have 10 exclusives so far (and sony has more than 10 so far this year), but we are talking 10 chart topping exclusives! Nobody else has 10 top selling exclusives for the year yet.

[PS3_Noob]

I doubt state of decay will be on the list next week

[AmUnRa]

I agree with you...it is sad for Xboxgamers, they deserve better games than SoT and
SoD... And it is not looking good for Crackdown...o well😳

[Obscure_Observer]

@PS3_Noob

"I doubt state of decay will be on the list next week"

I read some comments like this regarding SoT. We´ll see. ;)

[Eonjay]

I agree with you. It will probably make the TOP 20 next week. However, I don't see Microsoft Studios getting a top spot going forward (although a Forza could do it later this year)

[Relientk77]

Single player games and Sony ruling the top spot

[Skuletor]

I was kind of hoping to find out which 10 Ps4 exclusives had hit No. 1 this year but that info isn't in this article.

[cellfluid]

Greatness

[kevnb]

I watched some digital foundry videos and im actually sold on this game now, especially since I have a ps4 pro. Games like this are actually the reason I got a pro, the frame rate is just so much better. Anyway, back on topic; Detroit seems like the game they have been promising all these years but were never quite able to deliver until now. It actually looks fun to play the game and it is actually interactive enough to keep players like myself engaged :). Just got to finish god of war first.

[Flewid638]

Interesting. His previous titles were well received so to me it feels like this one is just delivering what they've already established in the market.....a great game.

[2pacalypsenow]

#winning

[medman]

Sony be rollin.

[ClayRules2012]

Way to go Quantic Dream & Sony!

When you put hard work, care, passion, and love into your work, you get success. That’s what Sony & it’s studios (I know QD isn’t owned by Sony) understand. They respect their games, the characters within them, and want to be proud of their work, and make the fans happy.

Also, thank you to everyone else who enjoys Quantic Dreams games or maybe this is your first time trying out a game from them or you just like this genre of games, whatever the reason might be. Thank you from come one gamer to another =)

Have a great and blessed day everyone!

[GrimDragon]

Easily quantic dreams best game since heavy rain.

[UCForce]

And big improvements over Beyond Two Souls.

[GrimDragon]

Definitely. It's a shame this type of game is not for everyone. It's the best type of cinematic interaction available on the market.

[The Wood]

Have qt taken their crown back from supermassive games with until dawn. . . . Loving the infighting

[Dannylew]

Videogames consoles is made "by the gemes" for the gamers..

not by the numbers for investors... not with dx12... not with the claud.. not with 4k
not with kinect.

thats simple.

[terstomp]

Well done. Detroit Become Human deserves number one. The amount of detail in that is amazing.

[Vizigoth04]

Good job PlayStation. Keeping it consistent leading up to E3.

[porkChop]

What are the 10 PS exclusives that hit number one this year? The article doesn't say. Either way, congrats to QD.

[inxine]

this is fooor da players!
really proud, gotta say :)

[Pancit_Canton]

Time to acquire Quantic Dreams, Sony.

[ILostMyMind]

It could be good, but it is not necessary. Sony is the only one ordering this type of game. MS has no interest in them.

[Pancit_Canton]

I think there's a huge difference of support from the publisher when it comes to being a 1st party and 2nd party developer. Funding and resources are more available, also, marketing plays a big part of the game's success. See GOW for reference. I think a fully funded Quantic Dreams can bring more and unique games for the PlayStation. Just IMO.

[tombfan]

It's well deserved. Great game!

[Silly gameAr]

After the demo and a chance to shareplay it, I need my own copy of Detroit. Have to pick up Dark Souls remastered and get back into some Souls action. Man, I'm slacking off. God of War is taking up too much time.

[spambot0815]

will be interesting to see how detroit sales compare to god war sales short, medium and lifetime.

[ILostMyMind]

Not fare. Compare it to the previous QD games.

[Eonjay]

I think it will be more interesting to see how Gow sales compare to Ascension sales and how Detroit sales compare to Heavy Rain and Beyond 2 souls. Oh btw check this out:

http://n4g.com/news/2138558...

[Kribwalker]

https://www.resetera.com/th...

they are saying detroit is 1/4 of the sales of heavy rain

[Jayszen]

Playing 'Detroit' at present. It is easily the best game that Quantic Dream have made. Sony's trust in David Cage has definitely paid off.

The last two years have been just wonderful with so many exclusives for the PS4 and these added to multiplats, indies and games for the PSVR have resulted in a huge backlog of games for me and many of my friends and probably for gamers across the world. Yakuza alone had had 3 games in the last 15 months with another due shortly. Two Uncharted games from Naughty Dog, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Persona 5, Nioh, Nier: Automata, God of War, etc., etc.

Detroit deserves the spotlight it has at present. Between this game, God Of War and Yakuza 6 all of which I playing right now, I am in gaming heaven.

[Vanakka]

='( sad its not on pc.....

[ILostMyMind]

Damn, Sony! This month I bought Dragon's Crown, Cities Skyline and I'm still playing GoW. I can not buy a new game now and when I can, Spider-Man will be coming.

[Flewid638]

Here come the "its not a game, so everyone who likes it is crazy except for me" crowd.

[Hardiman]

And it's not even June yet!

[BadElf]

Just got home from purchasing it....downloading now. Intrigued. I really love the PS4 release schedule currently.
With Switch and Xbox One being so barren on the game front, its nice to get some games in!

[wenaldy]

David Cage, you son of a...

[Psychosious]

Winning, with tiger blood!!!

[Bathyj]

Well that's quite an update to the title. Nice fact checking. Not just misleading, completing inaccurate from the original title.

[jlove4life]

With stats like this I would say let's petition to change playstation slogan from greatness awaits to Greatness is here but I forgot greatness still awaits because the PlayStation 5 hasn't launched yet

[paintedgamer1984]

How many times have the xb1 done this?

Def anticipated for D Cages next work!

[Christopher]

Sea of Thieves charted top for one week this year. No other weeks.

[TorpeAlex]

Jeez guys, this headline is a nightmare. If you need a copy editor hit me up, for crying out loud. You could have just as easily said, "'Detroit: Become Human' Tops Weekly UK Sales Charts" with a subtitle, "This marks week seven for PS exclusives leading the UK NPD in 2018". Aside from that, it's a strange and unimpactful statistic to publish with the intent of making a point (considering there have been 21 weeks in the year so far, and this is specifically UK sales charts). Overall, this was a poorly conceived headline.

*inb4 users downvote me to oblivion for not mindlessly supporting a headline that validates their console preference*

[Christopher]

Hey, the original headline was factually incorrect. The title is adjusted 'around' the original to make it factually correct. We need to denote changes so as to not be misleading. That's why the square brackets.

The people who need a copy editor are the people at the source.

[Elda]

I'm totally loving Detroit:BH,it has such a gripping interesting story so far,keeping me me totally intrigued & entertained.

[rivaldoo777]

I'm glad trash souls remaster isn't on the 1st spot. Man what a lame ass remaster
