@DarkWingDuck

I'm going to call [censored] on your post. I've been buying from Nexus since the AnimeWorx days from about 2008. I have literally never ever had bad customer service from NexusHub. So you are being disingenuous. I don't think you appreciate the great lengths they go to, to get these games for us. But enjoy your other retailers and their[censored] service.

MrOde very good point! I'd pay extra for express overnight shipping.

HaseoVII SAME regarding FF7Rebirth (best believe I preordered Revelation though

)

I am such a huge fan of Nexus Hub - no one else in SA imports the niche titles - I used to need to get my stuff from Amazon Japan/US

My backlog is so big I don't care how late I get my orders lol haven't even played FF7 Rebirth or even Stellar Blade yet, but that's just me.

I'd actually go even further and say do standard free shipping for all orders above R1000 but allow an express shipping option/add on for those that want to pay extra. I would gladly pay extra to get whatever I ordered the day after I order it.

Shipping costs on games? What's that?

I'm not looking to start a bad thread about this, I was really just curious because I misclicked the tab on the left and stumbled upon the poll (I'd never clicked it before).

I am fiercely brand loyal to Nexus Hub and I don't care too much about not getting a game day-1. I know other names like BT and Koodoo ship earlier so you get it on release, but I'd never be "that" excited that I must play day-1, life happens

On the other hand, paying an extra R150 every time you order a commercially available title does add up, and I would not blame the average consumer for trying to save some money.

I know I'd feel less off about it if there was a price match, and free delivery at a certain threshold.

I mean if I can save money, why wouldn't I?

Are there circumstances where I would pay that extra without thinking twice about it, yes. In general there's little reason to do so.

That said, touching on Darkwing's point of eBucks, payment options feel like a lot bigger point than the R50 delivery. Lot of places offering rewards, pay later, etc. Those are big pull points for customers.

For niche titles it's okay. Problem is I play mainly bigger titles. Games are expensive enough as is. If I can save 50 bucks, use my ebucks (which some retailers allow) then I'm definitely going with another retailer.

Basically if I have to choose between paying delivery or not I'm going to go for not paying for delivery. On top of that, I find my Nexus orders are usually delayed. I don't think I've ever received a game on release day which is annoying when you're paying extra for delivery especially. And often you have to ask where it is which I don't think the customer should have to do, that's part of customer service.

Just my 2c here but trust is more important that shipping, Nexus gets the imported niche titles you cant find anywhere else, they keep you updated when theres issues and support is readily available.

Just for that pure customer service, Id pay R50 any day

I don't care about free shipping. Nexus's cost for shipping is low as is. Other retailers cost a lot more.

Marvel’s Wolverine Sales are Surprisingly Low for a Big PS5 Exclusive

by Sam Aberdeen on 06 November, 2026

Sony has revealed the sales for Marvel’s Wolverine since the game launched in September and they aren’t great, at least when compared to Sony’s other heavy-hitting first-party releases. Developer Insomniac Games saw much stronger sales with its Marvel’s Spider-Man games too, though it seems like many players weren’t sold on Wolverine’s adventures.

Sony’s latest earnings report revealed that Marvel’s Wolverine managed to sell 2.4 million copies in just under two months. While that’s no small number to scoff at, it’s surprisingly low for a big AAA PlayStation game that Sony touted as one of its biggest launches of the year. By comparison, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 sold five million copies in just 11 days, while God of War Ragnarok sold an estimated 11 million copies after two months.

This doesn’t make it a failure by any stretch but it’s probably not the numbers Sony might’ve been expecting for Marvel’s Wolverine. A large part of those slowed sales could be attributed to its mixed reception from critics and players. At launch, Marvel’s Wolverine scored a 76 average on OpenCritic. Many praised its visuals and performances but had harsh words to say about its repetitive gameplay, thin writing and hand-holding mechanics like its infamous fart gas.

Back in September, Sony reported that PS5 sales saw an increase while Marvel’s Wolverine ended up being the best-selling game on the platform that month. That said, people are probably scooping up PS5s ahead of the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI and that boost in console sales could be due to Rockstar’s highly anticipated upcoming open world title.

We’ll have to see if Marvel’s Wolverine picks up in sales as PlayStation heads into the holiday season or if those numbers will slow down. Sony hasn’t called it a failure yet so maybe Insomniac Games is safe for now from the dreaded curse of industry layoffs.
