Nice, I didn't expected this.

Good. Screw MK11. They worked their dev team to death with 80 hours workweeks, and than have the gall to ask for MTX money.

That's awesome! I honestly didnt expect that, especially with the mediocre reviews Days Gone has been getting. But as good as MK looks and plays I guess the interest for it really isn't as strong? I personally thought MK11 looked way more exciting than it has in years. Congrats to Days Gone! I'm sure its more fun then the reviews say as well. Watched some streams and it looks quite enjoyable.

Pretty impressive considering MK11 came out on all three systems and PC.

Surprised people are surprised. SONY did have an embargo on the game until release, regardless its was going to have numbers typical of a AAA SONY exclusive on that virtue alone.

May I make a suggestion. Close this site down. It’s gone from educational, informative to completely pointless. STOP POSTING POINTLESS CHARTS. If they aren’t backed up by individual sales figures or console specific instead of merged then there really is no point. No point in the charts and no point in this site.
