Benji-Sales found in various descriptions
Based on Benji-Sales, the main reason for this situation is price policy. The rhythm-based action adventure game published by Bethesda Hi-Fi Rush met players with a price of open world action adventure game Forspoken, broadcast by Square Enix (from 299 TL in our country) while 30 Dospoken is released by Square Enix. Sales was transferred to Hi-Fi Rush’s first week by making this comparison more revenue than Forspoken.
Benji stated that a price policy was caused by the advertising policy of this situation. While driving ad campaigns for Forspoken for a long time, Hi-Fi Rush was announced in the Xbox Developer Direct event that was held in recent days, and also made its output. For the first time, a announced game also has attracted a lot of attention to the players who are going out.
Very popular by Hi-Fi Rush as this chart is mentioned by Revenue and Hi-Fi Rush is only $30
Hi-Fi Rush at $30 actually made more Revenue launch week from Forspoken did at $70. Pretty shocking especially with a shadow drop
