Playdate handheld sales top 53,000 units in fruitful first year
When Panic opened the pre-order window on July 29, 2021, they weren’t entirely sure what to expect. The startup initially planned to manufacture 20,000 units but wasn’t confident they’d be able to sell those handsets in a timely manner. To virtually everyone’s surprise, those first 20,000 units were snapped up in less than 20 minutes.

PlayStation VR2 first month sales figures reportedly below 300,000 units
A new report suggests that initial PlayStation VR2 figures aren’t looking so good in the first month the hardware has been out.
According to a new report from Bloomberg, the PSVR2 has sold less than 300,000 units only a month after launching. This comes from research firm IDC, who told Bloomberg it expected the headset to have only sold 270,000 in its first month, a far cry from the two million Sony apparently wanted to produce by March this year. IDC’s vice president of data and analytics Francisco Jeronimmo told Bloomberg he suspects “a price cut on the PSVR2 will be needed to avoid a complete disaster of their new product.”
Sony announced the price of the PSVR2 last November, which is retailing for an eye-wateringly high £529.99. For comparison, that costs more than a PS5 itself, which generally costs £479.99 at recommended retail price. This has obviously been a slightly contentious point for many, as it’s a costly barrier of entry just to play a format of games that have yet to really prove itself to many players. “Consumers around the world are facing rising costs of living, rising interest rates, and rising layoffs,” said Jeronimo. “VR headsets are not top of mind for most consumers under the current economic climate.”

Resident Evil 4 Remake sells three million units in its first two days
Continuing the ongoing trend of Resident Evil remakes is the remake most of us have all — quite clearly — been waiting for, and that’s the Resident Evil 4 Remake.
A beloved cult classic that sees rookie cop Leon Kennedy become a matured, fully-fledged agent of navigating never-ending chaos, launched just last week. Since then, Capcom has revealed that the Resident Evil 4 Remake managed to sell over three million units in its first two days.
Let’s not also forget that this remake has also set the Resident Evil franchise’s new concurrent user record on Steam. Needless to say, this remake of the 2005 GameCube title has gone down an absolute treat among both critics and fans alike, myself included. Go check out my review!
