Only one game could fight off the zombies
Dying Lightdoesn’t seem to have any intention of dying anytime soon. Three months after its initial release, it’s maintained popularity through support of modders, new game modes, and wacky gags. Despite being widely available, it just claimed another victim: Japan.
The most recent Media Create figures (as published by 4Gamer) peg Dying Lightas having moved 25,530 PS4 copies in its first week on the market. That’s good enough for second place on the weekly charts. The only game to beat it was Girls Mode 3: Kirakira * Codeon 3DS, which was also just released.
Last week’s winner, Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin, saw a significant drop to fifteenth place after selling only little more than an additional 5,000 units. Dying Lightwill likely go the way of Dark Soulscome next week; these games typically only sustain very temporary popularity with regard to sales in Japan.
