UK Chart: Metro: Last Light surfaces top but fails to outsell predecessor

People are using that ranger mode dlc excuse to not buy it day one, or not buy it altogether, possibly pirating it or they pirated already. It's sad circumstances for 4A Games.

This game should be selling in high numbers.

Instead, they would rather buy trash like Dead Island (Techland), ironically from the same publisher, but remember that 4A Games/Metro Last Light was majority THQ. Deep Silver only acquired them in near finished form.

Let's hope Deep Silver knows how to market 4A Games and their amazing games in the future. For some reason, I am pessimistic.

that forking over a couple of bucks to unlock ranger mode killed the sales. now everyone is waiting for the special-deluxe-golden-delicious-hyper-platinum version where everything is complete and tied with an elegant bow.....

I'm playing it now and I love it.

good for them....

maybe finally people are getting tired of buying shooters

This is truly depressing. Last Light is an incredible game. A huge step up from 2033.

blame ranger mode, that was something pretty unethical right there.

Great to see metro hit top.. It's a cracking game

They take into account only physical copies. In 2010, there were more physical copies sold than today. Because today is ruled by Digital Distribution.

As good as it sounds, this game deserves way more. At least I hope it stays there for a good time.

Hmmm, now this is something to ponder about...especially in the view of that recent piracy article by same author.

The first game released only on PC and xbox yet it sold more than the second game did on PC, xbox and ps3. I'd like to see the sale chart for each platform this time around

play Metro alone at night, headphones and full volume. prepare a shit bucket.

If Dead Island: Riptide outsells this game I will eat my right foot.

What a damn, damn shame that such a fantastic, original, brilliant game like Metro: Last Light can't even manage to sell more than the original did 3 years ago...What a damned shame. And then we all wonder why everyone is jumping ship to "Free" to play mobile games. If a fantastic core game like Metro: Last Light can't sell even half a million in its opening week, then the core gamers market is truly done for.

@Imperiacommando I know what you mean. Damn Demon Souls. I still can't put that down. Though I have tried... I still have yet to try walking dead too.

I'm guessing the issues ofs amd card compatibility I heard about this game may have made some PC gamers who use those cards decide to wait and see? Or was that nvidia? I can't remember :) I just heard one of the cards work better with this game than the other one...

I may have bought it, but I can no longer get the first game to run on my system at a decent framerate. (phenom ii x4, hd7950). It used to run fine(besides crashing at startup all the time) I just don't trust their games stability.

wow this game should be placed on a golden pedestal and worshiped as a god

dead island is a piece of S***T compared to metro I can't believe its 2nd place, people in Uk really need to work on their gaming tastes, cause its embarrassing, dead island should not EVEN be in the list

Metro Last Light is a masterpiece, gameplay is much better than its' predecessor. SO GO BUY IT PEOLPE!!!!

So it is 4 places higher on the chart then the original but, still sells less. Does that mean less people are buying games overall?

I always read these articles to see what spot Skyrim is in, glad it still doesn't look it'll drop out of the top 20. Lol at Star Trek's 24th to 32nd place drop, but a bit of a shame that Bioshock: Infinite is only at tenth.

i will try this game on my pc

great game
