While waiting for the Resident Evil 4 remake to shake up the sales charts the day after tomorrow, the traditionally strong month of March in terms of releases has been very low key this year, as evidenced by the top charts. week 10 (from March 6 to 12, 2023) and the past week 11 (from March 13 to 19, 2023). Of course, it started more lively with the big premiere of a Metroid Prime Remastered in week 9 which did not satisfy the demand for physical copies in Spain. From there, Samus Aran went into a tailspin, as did, speaking of viewers, a PlayStation VR2 that released 8,000 units at the end of February, as we anticipated in Gamereactor.

Nintendo has sold 11,000 units of Metroid Prime Remastered, a game released physically three weeks after it began selling it digitally. For that, and to be a restoration, it’s a significant number, even if it’s not close to Metroid Dread’s 25,000 copy spree in 2021.

Nothing else stood out for the best that week, with a very bad Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty failing to hit 2,000 units on its debut adding releases.
