Final Fantasy IX Tops PS4 Download Charts

Published Sun, 01 Oct 2017 09:45:37 -0500

Final Fantasy IX has done well for itself as a PS4 re-release, especially among fans in both Japan and in the west, and has topped the charts for Japan's PS4 downloads last week.

Sony Interactive Entertainment released its download chart for the week between September 17th and September 23rd, and you can check it out below:

Final Fantasy IX
Star Wars Battlefront – Ultimate Edition
Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry
Destiny 2
Titanfall 2
Dragon Quest III
NieR: Automata
PES 2018 Barcelona Edition
Patapon
Need for Speed
Battlefield 4 Premium Edition
Undertale
Assassin's Creed Syndicate
Dragon Quest II
Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition
Samurai Shodown V Special
Grand Theft Auto V
Earth Defense Force 4.1: Shadow of New Despair
Everybody's Golf
Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite

The game, backed by both hype and nostalgia among Japanese gamers, resisted the push of several sales that put quite a few older games back on the chart.

Meanwhile, Dragon Quest XI seems to have finally ran out of steam, and dropped completely off the top-20.

And to the surprise of none, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite debuted dead last in the download chart, doing even worse than the already disappointing 8th place reported by Media Create for the retail market. A fact which comes as no surprise to anyone who actually forced themselves to watch even a single trailer for the game. And the finished product certainly did not do any better than expected.

It'll certainly be interesting to hear Capcom's considerations on the title in their quarterly financial statements that will be released in November. Because there is no way Infinite isn't a flop. However, much of the game felt like it was abandoned halfway theough development, so it is possible the company will simply gloss over its disappointing sales figures.
