In one of the key markets for the gaming industry, one of the classics of 2005 in a new coat of paint took the launch nicely.

Fumito Ueda’s game launched roughly a week ago on PlayStation 4, and in the United Kingdom, it immediately became the best-selling title last week. In itself, that’s not much to mention, but in comparison to the PS2 original, the PlayStation 4 version sold 73% more, although we have to remember that the gaming industry and market have grown significantly in the past twelve years. Mind you, these are just physical sales!

Another outstanding result is that Shadow of the Colossus has become the 8th Sony-exclusive title this year (possibly the business year that started in April and will end in March…) to reach the top spot. The previous chart leader, Monster Hunter World, has dropped back to third place.

If Shadow of the Colossus can keep itself on the podium for February, then we can answer the question in the title with a simple yes.
