UK Sales Charts: Strong PS5 Sales Put The Last of Us 2, Gran Turismo 7 Back in the Top 10

he UK seems to be aboard the Sony train right now. Not only has the PS5 been selling extremely well in the country, but some of the company's first-party titles are seeing a big resurgence at physical retail. If you're getting a new PlayStation, you want some games as well, right? Case in point: The Last of Us: Part II and Gran Turismo 7 are now back in the top 10, in fifth and seventh respectively. The two Sony games are joined by God of War Ragnarok in ninth, making this a pretty big week for the platform holder.

Gran Turismo 7 has likely had a boost from PSVR2. Even without that, there's loads of reasons to come back regularly, as they add new cars, tracks, events and that amazing new AI, Sophy.

Every day I look forward to my daily race - I'm totally hooked!

[IamTylerDurden1]

Great game without vr as well. Happy to see the sales.

This gen is going to sony by a good margin. I hope all these acquisitions set MS up for success in the next generation.

[darkrider]

Great exclusives have long legs. That's why those are system sellers

[EvertonFC]

Maybe new players to playstation having watched tlou HBO series and new motor heads interested in GT7/VR2 ?

[SonyStyled]

I wouldn’t say so. Gt games go on to continue selling even years after launch

[EvertonFC]

I know that, but I am just saying some of the sales maybe new players to playstation. I was NOT saying all the sales were new players just a certain percent which would be good data for Sony in knowing new players have potentially come across since turning some games into TV.

[Vengeance1138]

GT7 should also see a big boost once the movie drops.

[Hereandthere]

Sony keeping on dominating is great for the industry. We don't need Microsoft subscription driven water down money grabbing online all the time games being the norm. All my gaming money goes to sony.

People couldn't wait for TLOU season 2 and bought the game it seems.

[TeamIcoFan]

Guys.
What's going on?
I was told by the internet, which is NEVER wrong, that TLOU2 is woke garbage, and it would never break the top 10 anywhere again, and that its initial success was just a fluke!

[neutralgamer1992]

Woke garbage is everywhere now so it selling changes absolutely nothing. More power to those who enjoyed it, IMO it was a game that didn't need a sequel but that's up to the publishers and developers

RDR
TLOU

Both games IMO were as close to perfect as possible so those sequels weren't must make type projects. But again I understand it's a business and what sells usually gets sequels and both sequels are excellent in their own rights

[generic-user-name]

At first it sold 4m in 3 days due only to the fact that it was a sequel to a great game and ND falsely advertised the game. After that it stayed on shelves and never sold another copy, it stayed at 4m because nobody would buy that woke trash. Then it sold 10m in just 1.5 years on just one platform and the goal posts needed to be moved. 'Only' 10m? 'That's bad'

Now it's back in the top 10, they'll have to scramble again, probably try to use the success of the HBO show 'tricking' people into buying it.

[Stanjara]

But it is... sad that man play this. Oh... and its 10 Euros instead of 70 sooo... whatever.

[Elda]

Not surprising. Guessing some folks wanted to see the continued story in TLOU2 from watching the HBO series & never played TLOU2. I think TLOU2 was amazing just like the first game, though I thought TLOU2 had a better story which was a story of revenge & it was great. I could definitely see TLOU2 story as a major box office theatrical movie that's rated R.

[badz149]

I think MS is paying the whole of UK to buy the PS5 and its games in droves in their effort to convince the UK regulator how dominant the PS5 is and how it's totally gonna be fine surviving on its own 1st party games even if CoD goes xbox exclusive. there is no other explanation.

[BehindTheRows]

Sure there is. PlayStation is just doing what PlayStation does - battering Xbox’s ass into the ground!

Because they’re putting in serious work, they deserve the accolades!

[EazyC]

Gran Turismo 7 is in excellent shape now. The new physics update makes the cars feel very realistic.

I would love to see a new Gr. class in the future. Maybe 80s/90s Touring Cars or something. Would make an amazing Daily Race D
