Expedition 33 sold another 240 K copies on PS5 in June, bringing its total sold on PlayStation to 1.3 million, on top of its 2.2 million on Steam. It’s selling twice as fast as Metaphor ReFantazio on PS5

Game is mid
plus it’s not plagued by a Denuvo crap, because good games does not need it.
Why compare to metaphor?
Anime art style fans….we just lost
One of the best story in games I’ve played since Planescape Torment.
What does Metaphor have to do with anything?
I personally enjoyed Metaphor more, Clair has a pretty good story tho.
Thank you for updating us on how many copies the game has sold, I’ll be looking forward to the next monthly update.
That makes me feel wheeee.
Weird to specify it’s selling twice as fast as metaphor just on ps5 when metaphor just reached 2m sales total across all platforms and expedition’s nearing 4m total.
Loved both games, hope we get more quality games like these
I bought it in June. Great game. Just got the scythe lady. Very fun. Don’t really feel like I’ve needed to grind either which is always the turn off for me
Metaphor just wasn’t very good. i quit have way through. it’s not nearly as good and gripping as persona 5
I think some people underestimate how much the art style helps games like E33. It not being anime style makes it way more appealing to just… well… everyone. Metaphor could be a way better game than E33 and the fact that it’s anime ( and quite honestly not even the best looking anime graphics) will still make it hard for it to pop off as much as it could. And this is coming from someone who likes anime and plays anime games.
Maybe I’m just wrong, but the more games like metaphor that come out, the more I realize that these anime games are just very niche with a few exceptions.
We ain’t your stock holders.
yeah the xenophobes loved ex33 i thought we already knew that
Expedition 33 appeals to a larger audience by not being super weeby like ReFantazio
kinda happy to see Splitgate 2 doing so well, I genuinely thought it was a fun game, definitely better than slow shooters like Valorant imo which I hate with a passion
does anyone know more pvp games like this?
What is with this weird fucking obsession to compare two popular games together under or over certain things?
You should’ve just said it sold 240k more copies. It is that hard or are you trying to appease a minority of goofs who do this “hyperglaze” crap to anything that is remotely popular?
I don’t understand why we can’t just enjoy the shit we play without having to resort to this weird behavior and the sad thing is E33 isn’t even the first game this has happened to and it will not be the last judging from how gaming journalists are nowadays.
So it didn’t sell much on Xbox, huh
And all because of a simple parry mechanic added to a turn-based battle system.
I for one am shocked that the hyper realistic game is outselling the anime game on Playstation
E33 has the edge in telling a serious story without undercutting every moment with poor anime tropes.
Beat expedition 33 and started ReFantazio. At this point I just want it to be over, but the game just keeps going….and going…and going.
Heard the praise and everything else about the game, but was not expecting the slog that it is. I got the plat for Persona 5, and figures I would like ReFantazio, but at this point I’m just fast forwarding through the story and just trying to get to the final battle, which I think I am at after getting asked to do more mindless running around the dungeon.
Srsly if I have to read another stupid line from Strohl I’m going to lose my mind.

stop giving this website any traffic or reliability. every mention of any number is purely based on guesses
It’s way better than Metaphor, a persona reskin that looks like its made on the ps3
Good. Metaphor is just a lot of rehashed gameplay with a story that bashes you over the head with its tired themes. It was soulless.
No no no. Cant be. Reddit told me that for sure metaphor sold more despite the steam numbers because jrpg players are on console. /s
oki
I want a hard copy but they are so hard to find
Another hour, another u/Eldestscrollx narrative fuelled sales comparison post.
It’s a refreshing change from persona-types where the gameplay holds your hand for about 20 hours, there is a tutorial for absolutely everything and the dialogue treats you like a pre-teen
That’s because Metaphor Rephantasio is not a good game
