Tropico 5 Launches Into the Top 10 on PlayStation 4 System

The release of Tropico 5 on the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system marked the first time a Tropico title has been released on a Sony platform, and the reception from PlayStation strategy players has exceeded expectations!

Translating the precise controls of a strategy title to home consoles has always been a challenge, but both players and industry reviewers have praised the precision controls found in Tropico 5 for PlayStation®4 system. The effort to provide this level of precision has been rewarded globally as Tropico 5 appeared in the Top 10 retail sales charts for Britain, Germany and Japan. Tropico 5 is also seeing success in the PlayStation Store Simulation category, as Tropico 5 rose into the Top 3 Simulation downloads in Germany and UK, and the Top 10 for North America.

“We knew that we had a very good product and hoped it would find a positive reception on the PlayStation®4 system,” said Simon Hellwig, Global Managing Director of Kalypso Media Group. “The consumer response went beyond our expectations, and clearly shows the effort involved in providing a quality strategy experience on the PlayStation 4 system has paid off for strategy fans and PS4™ system players with Tropico 5. These are excellent conditions for the home console strategy genre and we look forward to expanding our efforts on the PlayStation 4 system.”
