Y'all have made me sift through the database again.
LBP 2013 outsold 2012. But the game won't overtake CoD or AC any time soon, since it's very much a holiday seller (probably the kind of thing parents pick up for kids alongside LEGO titles).
Persona won't make it. Would have to be the highest selling in the series and it did its heavy lifting in 2013.
This impressed me though:
| Year | Yearly | Change | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | 210,331 | N/A | 210,331 |
| 2013 | 332,483 | 58.1% | 542,814 |
Need for Speed: Most Wanted.
Clearly people weren't that fussed about paying £40 for it but £15 was a much fairer price.
Killzone Merc & Tearaway did alright in the end. Both of them outsold the other bombs of the year (Wonderful 101; Gaist Crusher; Fuse; Lost Planet 3) by quite some margin, so that's something I guess.
Batman Blackgate didn't do too well for itself though. Guess reviews got the better of it.
Ah well, onwards to 2014. Hope some of these localizations sell better than Ys; Valhalla Knights & Muramasa have been doing so far. And Sorcery Saga I assume (since it seems we're not tracking that one in the USA).
