With the troops of Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp already on the horizon, Resident Evil 4 Remake and Metroid Prime Remastered continue to prove themselves on the week 13 of 2023, from March 27 to April 2that Spanish players are very interested in the classics of the first half of the 2000s.
What is particularly surprising this week is the return of samus, which has nothing to do with the second installment in the series that MercurySteam has restored so well for the Nintendo 3DS, but rather with Metroid Prime Remastered unexpectedly landing at the top of the top once again, something unthinkable after leaving in a spin once exhausted. limited initial stock. It will be that units were still missing to keep up with demand (and took weeks to replace), as Retro Studios’ treasured remaster for Nintendo Switch scored more. 3,000 copies. You have to remember that this is almost two months after its digital premiere and a month after selling 11,000 units on its physical debut.
In fact, it would be the best-selling game if Leon S. Kennedy didn’t have the special editions so that Resident Evil 4 makes over 3,500 copies on PS5. They look good with over 2,000 units for PS4, but the truth is that this is a considerable drop from the premiere the week before with 25,000 RE4 Remake in Spain.
For the rest, a weak week although more than half a chart sits at over 2,000 copies, and returns such as Mario + Rabbids stand out, perhaps driven by Super Mario Bros: The Movie.

Hardware sales: PS VR2 still not raising its head
It’s curious and disturbing at the same time that while Resident Evil 4 Remake is a hit primarily for PS5, it’s not moving PlayStation VR2 headsets or practically consoles. The former continue without exclusive champion titles and the promise of getting back into Leon’s shoes does not serve as a hook, while the machines have become accustomed to a powerful cruising speed, with or without RE4.
In the week that followed, they sold just over 7,000 PS5s and some 4,000 Nintendo Switchboth improving the previous result by about a thousand. Xbox Series X | S back to the thousand for its part, almost doubled the previous week. The one that kept dropping, speaking of peripherals, was PS VR2 with about 350 copieswhich relegates him to minor incidental figures despite his promising debut a month ago.
