PSVR Exclusive Farpoint debut at #2 in UK Sales Chart

Bu...bu...bu...but PSVR is a flop! A flop I tell you!

Think again, fanboys.

From the article:

"It’s no surprise that comic themed beat ’em up Injustice 2 has stormed to the top of the UK Charts, following in the footsteps of its predecessor Injustice: Gods Among Us which also made it to No1 in the All Formats Chart in its launch week.

It’s the game that lands at No2 that will raise some eyebrows, PlayStation VR exclusive Farpoint...It beats Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia from Nintendo, and more surprisingly, The Surge which is available on three formats."

UK All Format Sales Chart Week 20:

Top 40 Entertainment Software (All Prices) Week 20 Year 2017

Ending 20th May:

Amazing. I am surprised, this game had almost no spotlight, even on PS store. Any spot in the top 10 , even 20, is great. Thanks U.K. For supporting VR.

@k--m--k: Sony went for a grassroots following for PSVR. And they succeeded big time.

Yeah that is surprising even if it turns in to 5 second of fame.

@reduc_ab_: You're cheering so hard you forgot your pom poms lol.

Well deserved, it's a must-have for all PsVR owners.

@i_p_daily: You're fanboying so hard you forgot your integrity. No need to respond. All you'll accomplish is a misinterpretation of what I mean.

@reduc_ab_: It's ok, here have some pom poms.

@i_p_daily: The single original thought you ever had stands as a flash in the pan of ages past.

Reevaluate why you talk to me, buttercup.

@reduc_ab_: Gimme a P, gimme a S, gimme a V, gimme a R, what does it spell? pom, poms :P

I'm sooooo glad to see Injustice 2 winning the number 1 spot and it's my favorite fighting game this year cause it's the only fighting game I'm putting more hours into so kudos to Ed Boon on Injustice 2!

Impressive for a psvr title no doubt

But but all vr titles are flops!!? Impressive work there and hopefully Sony can keep delivering quality titles so vr gets more mainstream!

A bit off topic, I tried vr porn (on a Samsung head gear no less) this weekend for the first time, and damn that stuff has potential!!!:)

This thread did exactly what I expected to do, it hurts the Xbox fanboys so hard, even Mr. I_P_Daily is hear. How ironic.

@reduc_ab_:

That's impressive.

Really impressive considering the install base can't be very large in the UK. Did this title even receive much marketing?

I'm definitely getting it when it drops in price. Full price VR isn't for me.

I'll take your Kermit the Frog and raise you a better Kermit the Frog.

Oh please tell me how this hurts me mr fake manticore. This should be ribbeting lol.

Interesting Sci-FI premise, the game has

Doing much better than Kinect 2.0...

@i_p_daily: When I saw who made this thread, I had a funny feeling you was gonna have fun playing ab and I wasn't shock to see the results lol.

Impressive for a VR game

Cows are really trying so hard to make it look as if the PSVR isn't a flop. This is saying more about the number of quality games on the PSVR, than about PSVR sales...

@davillain-: I'm just here for the giggles, that's all this side of the forum is for. You still haven't told me why i'm hurt, but you're right I am hurt, my sides are killing me with all the laughter i'm getting from stirring up reb, she can give it but never take it which makes it all the funnier :)

@sts106mat:

"Still in a week where only one other high profile release comes out,........if you aint first you're last and all that."

That would make sense if not for this being a VR only title.

It's likely a very small install base against multiplat games with around 90 million units?

ab will never accept you cause you love her lol.

But seriously I just knew you was gonna show up and mess with ab so you didn't disappoint me :)

Wow, a PSVR title made it all the way to #2. I guess this means the PSVR isn't flopping after all. Can't wait for next week when it steals number 1.

Agreed. This is a surprise. I'd be hesitant to celebrate though.

VR is not a flop. Still it's long way's off from everyday use by a gamer.

@i_p_daily: Dude, can you maybe tone down your burrhurt a bit, i can hear it in the other thread.

@lrdfancypants: A little marketing, but not much. Sony is attempting to build a PSVR community from the ground up by word of mouth. So far it's working out great.

@i_p_daily: I'll be looking forward to the next thread you follow me into just so you can talk about me instead of the actual topic at hand. Sheesh, cutie pie. You're like that little boy in elementary school that makes fun of the girls instead of talking to them.

@sts106mat:

"stop acting like this is huge achievement / surprise, f*** all else released"

Wtf.

Nice.

I bought Farpoint and Injustice 2, both solid games. Nice to see both of them doing well.

? Farpoint is so immersive in VR. I feel like I'm in Starship Troopers when I play it. I highly recommend it, one of the best VR experiences so far. Co-op mode is also a blast to play with friends.

?? @i_p_daily's meltdown.

? The dude's butthurt is through the roof!

It's always fun to watch fanboys like him lose their shit when real life doesn't match their fanboy delusions. He's so upset a VR game is doing well. ? Watch out, HE'S GONNA BLOW!

Very well deserved. It's a showcase for what can be done with a little bit of production budget in a VR title. I won't say it's the best shooter I ever played but it is definitely the most polished VR game to-date. I am VERY MUCH hoping for a sequel! They left it wide open for one, and if it is being well received commercially, this could really turn into something special :) After beating it, I was definitely left with the feeling of wanting more, and that is the mark of a good game.

If you have a PSVR, this is a must-have. If you don't have a PSVR but have a friend that does, this is a 'must-try' game the next time you go visit them.

So much for lemmings predicting the fate of the psvr, when their beloved xb1 has been flopping this whole gen.

yea it is a bit surprising..... but this is the uk... #2 in the uk can be as low as 60,000 units......

so it really doesn't mean much...... let see what it does on npd...and japan media create(releases in june in japan).. although there are no big games in may so farpoint has a shot.

This is not a full retail price game, this is a budget title. And there's also a bundle which comes with the gun peripheral. Who knows how many more games will use that peripheral, so many might be interested in investing in that peripheral more than the game. Lastly, how's the reviews for this game so far, did it meet hype? So far the only one game that's the best PSVR game is a multiplat and that's RE7.

Was this as meaningful to sony fans when FH3 was leading the charts in the UK (and still charting)? Or is this just more fanboy hypocrisy

Would love to have the spare cash to buy a PSVR this looks great fun!

Forza Horizon 3 topped the UK charts as well. So if the X1 is flop then by your logic the PSVR must still be a flop as well

lol @ your desperate comparison.

Seriously, I could probably just post "PSVR" in the thread title and offer nothing else and the dude would still have a meltdown.

Reviews no longer matter for PSVR. Gamespot didn't even review Polybius, which was great! Flat-Earth gamers wouldn't understand.

I'm just trying to follow his fanboy logic

Game is DOA now, not even in the top 100 at Amazon. Buh bye.

yup....notice how he didnt try to argue your point. just ignored it.
