Game news When it was announced, the new formula of this video game was strongly criticized. However, players are more eager for it than Mario video games
We must believe that the criticisms against this video game have made it stronger! The target of real fierceness when it was revealed, the title was able to prove, upon its release, that it had incredible qualities and that it rightly had its place in the best-seller rankings in January. Not missed: he managed to surpass Mario video games twice!
Heavily criticized at Summer Game Fest, this Ubisoft game silences its detractors
During the Summer Game Fest period, there were more or less significant revelations, like the new trailer for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, a title expected for the end of the month. Here, everyone’s goal is to shine in the spotlight, and the latest release from French publisher Ubisoft had that in mind when it opened the ball at this summer conference. Despite this great dose of courage, the public did not particularly praise the rendering of the new formula of Prince of Persia. Worse, the presentation was strongly criticized !
At any rate, this persistence seemed very difficult to justify, especially since at the time the title had not yet been approached. Finally, after hours spent on it as part of our test, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown had all the good surprises of the start of the year and offered a truly refreshing adventure within the franchise’s game library. Moreover, French players were easily convinced of the qualities of this title, produced in Ubisoft’s Montpellier studios.

A grain of sand stops Mario game sales in France
Like every week, the social networks of SELL (The Union of Leisure Software Publishers) take stock of the sales of video games in physical version in France. This allows us to know that, for the week of January 15 to 21, The Last of Us Part II Remastered ranked first… just ahead Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown ! At Ubisoft, we must appreciate occupying second place alongside such an industry giant. However, there is another achievement of which the teams must be proud, that of having caused the Mario games to falter in this same sales ranking!
Between Sargon and Mario, the duel was fierce during this third week of the year 2024! There is always that It is Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (PS5) which outweighs the sales of Super Mario Bros. Wonder on Nintendo Switcha support on which the new Prince of Persia cannot compete since he finds himself just behind in fourth place… However, he can reassure himself by seeing, in his rearview mirror, the sales of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a title which is nevertheless one of the sure values in the video game sales rankings in France. Hoping that this feat is not just fleeting!
