It’s hard to argue that this isn’t a disappointing result. In the UK, the game opened at #16 in the all-format sales game charts in the first week, and already dropped out of the top 40 in its second week. It’s not the result I expected, even more so because Tales of Berseria was released after Gravity Rush 2, so it had less time on the market in January. On the PlayStation Store, Gravity Rush 2 also can’t be found in the digital downloads top 20 for January (although the same can be said about Tales of Berseria and Yakuza 0).

However, something that does stand out on closer inspection is the fact that Tales of Berseria apparently outsold Gravity Rush 2, as it’s listed as #9 in the PS4 charts, where Gravity Rush 2 is absent. In the US, there’s no sign of Gravity Rush 2 in the latest NPD charts for January 2017. The impressive commercial, which is currently the 5th most viewed video on the PlayStation Japan YouTube channel, no doubt helped achieve that result. It’s also the only market where the game managed to take the top spot in its first week on sale. It’s a result comparable to that of The Last Guardian, and while it falls short of the results from the bigger franchises, even those are having difficulty selling over 500k in the current console and handheld market in Japan. In Japan, the latest results from Media Create and Famitsu put Gravity Rush 2 ( Gravity Daze 2) at a little over 100k in Japan. Towards the end, I also attempt to determine the minimum amount of copies that the game sold. In addition, the fact that SIE Japan Studio’s The Last Guardian received a considerable price drop not long after its release didn’t help either, as it led people to hold out on buying Gravity Rush 2, in the assumption that Sony is going to cut its price soon anyway.īelow, you can find the information I compiled from various sources regarding Gravity Rush 2‘s performance in the sales charts.
These titles, all from Japanese development studios, have some overlap in terms of their audience, and I’ve seen more than a few people state that they had to decide which of these games to buy. While Gravity Rush 2 was released at a relatively calm period for the video game market, it’s worth noting that Tales of Berseria, Yakuza 0 and Resident Evil 7 were released in the same time frame (end of January). With no sources listed, there’s just no way to verify their information, and in the past they’ve shown to retroactively adjust their results when other sources post different sales numbers. Instead of simply going by their numbers, I’ve attempted the compile the information that we do have, and try to get an idea of how well the game performed. VGChartz recently posted an estimated sales result for Gravity Rush 2’s first week on their website, but it’s fair to say that they don’t have the best reputation when it comes to being an accurate source for video game sales numbers. Nowadays it’s increasingly difficult to get any useful sales numbers on video games, in some part due to the fact that companies often don’t disclose how many digital copies were sold, and those are taking up an increasingly large portion of video game sales. Reviews have been very positive so far, as you can see below.Īs always, scores are out of ten except where noted.UPDATE: More accurate results can be found in this article. If you like the look, you can give the game a go yourself by downloading the demo available on the PlayStation Store. The game utilises the same cel shading graphical style found in the original. The constantly changing perspective and camera of the game will either keep you really excited to go on, or leave you with a bad headache. Both work hand-in-hand to create a system not quite available in any other game and offers a very fresh take on the superhero genre. Gravity Rush 2 has a very unique mix of action combat and flying mechanics. It's called Gravity Rush 2, the sequel to the Vita-turned-PS4 action game. 2017 has its first highly-rated game in Gravity Rush 2.ĭespite how very quiet Sony has been about it, PlayStation 4 players are getting a first-party exclusive game next week.
