Surprised Outriders came in at 3rd

And Miles Morales sold more than ghosts and Last of Us 2 according to the past 12 months chart...it is low key selling like crazy.

Nyxus1103d ago

Yeah I wonder how much it has sold so far. I also wonder what the split between the PS4 and the PS5 version is (in the UK it was around 80% PS5 when it launched).

VersusDMC1103d ago

Has to be more on PS4 for it to have outsold last of us and ghosts. Unless every single PS5 owner bought Miles.

Neonridr1103d ago

because it's probably one of the best PS5 games at the moment. As as more and more people get the system, they are buying the game. No surprise. It's like why we still see games like Mario Kart 8 chart so high due to new Switch owners.

TheColbertinator1103d ago

Fantastic news for Capcom and Nintendo

Neonridr1103d ago

Monster Hunter was on the market for 5 days and charted 2nd for the entire month. That's impressive.

Christopher1103d ago

Congrats to Outriders, the only new IP up there, hitting third in its first month even if it's having development issues.

Thundercat771103d ago

Spider Man MM still on the top 5 after five months. That's amazing.

Interesting that even when Outriders was on gamepass, people on Xbox preferred to buy the game.

Capcom killing it with MH and soon with Resident Evwl Village.

Nyxus1103d ago

Glad to see Capcom doing well with their franchises, I wish Konami would do the same.

VersusDMC1103d ago

After Metal Gear Survive and the last Contra i don't want Konami doing anything internally. I want them to rent out IP like Marvel so we can get quality games.

VersusDMC1103d ago

The Outriders sales are probably mostly Playstation and PC. It would be dumb to buy it right away on xbox if you have gamepass. Maybe when it leaves Gamepass but not right away. Just like it would be dumb to buy Oddworld on PS5 if you have PSplus.

And yeah there are people who choose to buy something that is on gamepass to support the developer but there aren't enough of those people to make it 3rd on the NPD.

Nyxus1103d ago

Well, it's third in the Xbox list as well.

Thundercat771101d ago

If you saw the article, Outriders is number 3 in the Xbox list. That's what my comments was based on. You didn't even saw the article.

Steam Uproar as Capcom Slips In Restrictive DRM Software

From Xfire: "Steam users and the larger PC gaming community are lashing out at Capcom over a streak of sneaky DRM updates as the Japanese gaming giant continues to flirt with controversy"

LordoftheCritics88d ago

RIP

Capcom turning into Ubisoft.

Well success can have that effect.

just_looken88d ago

Yep this shows how bad a digital world is now well for the old titles new games disc or not the drm is there but you can get the old games on dvd then try to monkey the last pre drm update onto the game files.

I love GOG for this reason i saw that skyrim bs update so i know not to run that version as gog you can select what patch to download/install with capcom hopefully we get a list of the update numbers that add this horrific drm.

With denuvo as a alder lake pc user it still has issues with E cores and i remember when the servers were taken offline forcing hundreds of games to be paperweights.

It's also really annoying how they can cut or change content later, like the Skull Girls controversy, a decade later after the game came out, they decide to censor it. The game is a decade old, if it's not broken, leave it, adding DRM back into older games is BS.

just_looken88d ago

@final

Good point even major sp games got the cut after the fact be it last of us with maps/art or gta 5 removing stuff in the world.

Cyberpunk ps4 day one disc copy the sept build still has stuff the other versions no longer have.

With the gta 6 controversy right now i think back to the days of saints row creating a character beating up cops with a dildo bat and now we have elon crying over gta 6 guns killing cops i bet you if they made saints row 2 hd they would half to cut half the games content or go to jail lol also sad.

Was watching avatar last airbender 13yr old ang kissing katar again can not have that in a kids show or game now.

PRIMORDUS88d ago (Edited 88d ago )

Do they want more of their games to be torrented? Seems like it, I don't mind 🤣 Just ripped them a new asshole on Twitter, as I do not care what I say or post on there LOL.

banger8888d ago

Let me guess, you have a vpn enabled. For your sake I hope it's not in any 5 Eyes territories.

PRIMORDUS88d ago

I have ExpressVPN but on Twitter I don't use it lol. For other things I use it :D

Barlos88d ago

Nice. I got a lifetime ban on Twitter back in 2020 for speaking my mind. Don't care tbh, I'm not really into social media. I don't even have a Facebook account.

PRIMORDUS87d ago

I'm still trying to get banned to lol I'll keep at it 🤣 I have FB but maybe log in once a month but yeah always speak your mind no matter how bad the words come out, do not hold back online or IRL. Fuck them shit bags lol.

got_dam88d ago

This is classic Capcom. They everything they go on a hot streak and win back some consumer good will they have to turn around and burn it to the ground and have to start the whole process again.

Chocoburger88d ago (Edited 88d ago )

Additional DRM just pushes people to pirate more. These ignorant executives just don't get it. Only the legitimate customer is affected by DRM. 😕

Darkegg88d ago

Drm punishes legit customers and encourage hackers. It’s the wrong way to go about it.

An orange and bladed Zaber Fang (from Zoids) themed after the Sand Barioth (from Monster Hunter) would have been my choice.
Hopefully Zoids outside of Wild get crossovers too.

The 7 Best Co-op Games on PS5

There's no better way to enjoy your PS5 than with friends, so here's our picks of the best co-op games on the console.

Cacabunga102d ago

For coop, get a used switch instead

jznrpg102d ago

I own a Switch and have never played co-op on it. I do play Elden Ring , Demons Souls and some other co/op games with my friends on PS5. Baldurs Gate 3 is the next game I’ll play co-op. Can’t do that on a Switch

Cacabunga102d ago

I was thinking for couch casual immediate fun.. not online coop games that require some adaptation.
