A few other new games, such as Super Mario RPG, made their debuts in the top 20 as well last month. But a quick glance over the charts for November reveals a conspicuous missing entry.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"mobile-ad-break\"><\/section>\n<p>Where&#8217;s Alan Wake 2? Did it really not sell well enough to break into the top 20? Should we all start panicking about Remedy now?<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"slideshow\" data-slug=\"the-biggest-holy-fk-moment-of-2023\" data-value=\"the-biggest-holy-fk-moment-of-2023\" data-type=\"slug\" data-caption=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>Speaking to IGN, Circana analyst Mat Piscatella explained why Alan Wake 2 didn&#8217;t debut in the top 20 of Circana&#8217;s sales charts this month. It&#8217;s largely an issue of data reporting: Circana doesn&#8217;t have data on every single sale for every single game. They can collect data from physical retailers, and select digital data from publishers and storefronts who choose to supply it. <\/p>\n<p>As a result, while Circana&#8217;s data is extremely useful, in many cases, it&#8217;s incomplete. The best examples of this are Nintendo, which does not provide digital sales to Circana at all, and Take-Two, which used to provide data but limited its input a few years ago. That&#8217;s why you never see GTA 5 in the Circana charts despite it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/best-selling-video-games-of-all-time-grand-theft-auto-minecraft-tetris\">selling a solid five million copies per quarter worldwide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In Alan Wake 2&#8217;s case, there was no physical release, and its publisher Epic Games does not provide digital sales data to Circana, so there&#8217;s just no way for Circana to tell us how well it sold. Piscatella did confirm that Alan Wake 2 ranked 147th on Xbox Series and 115th on PlayStation 5 in MAUs in November, but that doesn&#8217;t tell us too much.<\/p>\n<p>We can supplement that with a bit more data from Ampere Analysis&#8217; Piers Harding-Rolls, though, to get a clearer picture. Ampere estimates that globally, just on console, Alan Wake 2 sold 850,000 copies as of the end of November.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Our global Alan Wake 2 sales estimate across console end of Nov is ~850k <\/p>\n<p>Think there will be a fair amount of interest at a reduced price, and then there is sub service inclusion down the line (I assume) <\/p>\n<p>Worth noting that AW Remastered got a decent boost in Oct\/Nov as well <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GtI1DFcomQ\">pic.twitter.com\/GtI1DFcomQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Piers Harding-Rolls (@PiersHR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PiersHR\/status\/1735007619645907352?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 13, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s a bit tricky to tell given the limitations of both those data sets, but if you feel like that seems a touch low for a major AAA game that was widely-anticipated and is reviewing phenomenally, well&#8230;it is, and it isn&#8217;t. Remedy&#8217;s last offering, Control, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamesindustry.biz\/control-has-sold-more-than-2m-units\">sold two million units in its first year<\/a>, and that was without any presence on PlayStation. You could argue that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/control\">Control<\/a> is doing better because of its physical release, but in that same period, Remedy reported that only 10% of the game&#8217;s sales were digital. So physical wasn&#8217;t doing a ton of heavy lifting in the first place, and Alan Wake 2 skipping the expensive process of a physical edition entirely could have saved Remedy more money than it would&#8217;ve made.<\/p>\n<p>So is Alan Wake 2 really selling poorly? It&#8217;s&#8230;still hard to say, even with these pieces of data. 850,000 copies on console, sans PC, isn&#8217;t bad. And if you assume even just a few hundred thousand PC players, sales could be within reach of Control&#8217;s one-year milestones. Still, Control was a new IP, where Alan Wake is supposedly a beloved cult classic riding on Control&#8217;s stellar coattails. It would make sense for Remedy to have higher hopes for its success. But as with Control, perhaps word-of-mouth over the next year will keep Alan Wake 2 in the zeitgeist longer than most games and make it a sales success.<\/p>\n<p>We asked Remedy for comment for this piece, but the studio has yet to respond.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"divider\"><\/section>\n<p><em>Rebekah Valentine is a senior reporter for IGN.
