COG: 2021 has been a hot year for gaming, but that doesn't mean everything has been sheer excellence. Come along as we go over the games that scored higher than they should have.
Tamagotchi Plaza debuts in a very low position while Death Stranding 2 soars in the UK games sales charts.

"“launch sales were ~66% lower than Death Stranding 1"
Maybe he'll put this franchise to rest now and do something new (which I know he is thankfully)
Not to hate if you enjoy these games but they weren’t for everyone and it puzzles me that he did a sequel rather than doing Physint next or even an actual P.T like game.
I just feel he's trying to make Death Stranding a thing, like as big as Metal Gear Solid and it's just not going to happen.
“Maybe he'll put this franchise to rest now and do something new”
He is making new things, so I don’t see what the problem is. Game reviewed better than the first. It has its fans and served its purpose.
At its core, it’s just not a very commercial game. Takes work, which might turn off casuals.
Probably not, the sales won't be much lower than the first game. And its a critical success

It's selling well digitally you can't compare it to sales of ps4 game because even back than digital wasn't the be all end all like it is today now. With GTA6 delayed DS2 is the game to beat for GOTY
Split fiction and Clair Obscure already have it beat in critic scores.
So does Forza Horizon PS5 :/
Geoff Keighley basically sucks off Kojima and Sony - so yes, it’ll probably be GOTY even though Expedition 33 is better
This is the UK physical charts. This doesn't count digital at all which are the bulk of the sales and a much larger share than they would have been 6 years ago. For example, its the number one game on PSN.
I think he would be happy with your reaction. Remember, he stated that his goal was not to make a hit game loved by everyone. He would have been happy with 4/10 people liking it.
He is making what he wants to make... not what will be the biggest smash hit. He has stated this on MANY, MANY occations. And I think this is okay. I would rather people chase what they want to make as opposed to making money.
However, if you poke your head over on PSN... it looks like its selling just fine.
About the sequel, he ALREADY stated that even though he has a script for a potential DS3, it is not his intention to make another one directly.
If they released at the same time Im pretty sure Mario would still take number one.
At least get the statement right, physical sales were down 66%, not total.

Obviously, digital is bigger part of the landscape than it was on PS4.
Digitally on the PlayStation store it is and has been the best selling retail game since prior to release, and still is today.
Also, the digital edition came with early access.
My friends and I bought it digital. Truth be told, I haven’t bought a disc in years. Is what it is.

From NETK2GAMES out of Barcelona comes one of the most enjoyable arcade racing you’ll play: Rally Arcade Classics is no fluff, all fun.
I don't see a problem with Iki Island. Pretty strange.
Ok
You can taste the salt in this article through the screen.
I don't see how a game that scored one thing getting a DLC and "re-release" that essentially added the duelsense support, 3D audio and Japanese lip sync is scored lower. It adds to the score if anything. It's a DLC. Not a new game. If hitman 3 added the psvr support in a $10 upgrade, should the entire game be scored lower? Iki islands also added new things that weren't in the base game and the game recently got more free multiplayer maps and a new mode. Let's rescore the game again for that too and lower the score because it's more of the same right? Plus the game itself takes over 20 hours to just play the story. I haven't finished IKI island yet and I'm a few hours in, as a fan that's fine. I don't need 30 more hours into my already 25-30 hour mainline story without all the side stuff and free multiplayer that was not advertised before the initial release.
where is Metroid dread in this list!? 8h long side-scroller "indie game" for like $40 is ok for meta 89... but 8h long made by Nintendo for $60, realy? game is too short! at best a 85! Nintendo got classic it's "nintendo" let's give bonus points, again.
