Is this one of those “Who is MC Entire, and how has she sold so many records?” Type threads?
You know $60 time 8 million is $480 million right? That means that have almost made double what they spent making it and you're calling it a flop lol
Everything outside of Apex, Roblox, CoD, and Minecraft is a flop according to him.
Horizon is an interesting game in that I think both games were really good. The VR game looked really good as well. But it's just something about it that doesn't FEEL grand. I don't know if it's because it's a first party exclusive, but it feels like it should be bigger than it is.

The DEVELOPMENT cost was $212 million not including marketing cost which this game had super bowl and nba all star ads, bringing the cost closer to $250-300 million range.
A lot of units were in PS5 bundles, discounted PC sales (the game is only $20 on PC), discounted holiday PS5 sales, etc.
I say it over and over again, most Sony stans here are financially illiterate.

what was the budget for horizon zero dawnChatGPT said:
The estimated development budget for Horizon Zero Dawn, developed by Guerrilla Games and released in 2017, was around €45–47 million (approximately $50–55 million USD). When adjusted for marketing costs, the total budget likely exceeded $100 million, making it one of the larger investments for Sony at the time.
This budget reflected the ambitious nature of the game, including its open-world design, high-quality visuals, and innovative gameplay mechanics. It paid off, as the game became a massive success, selling over 20 million copies as of February 2022.

how much is 8..4 million in costChatGPT said:
To calculate the revenue generated from selling 8.4 million copies of Horizon Forbidden West, we need an average selling price. For AAA games, the average price is around $60–70 USD at launch.
Estimation:
- If sold at $60 per copy: 8.4 million copies×60=504 million USD8.4 \, \text{million copies} \times 60 = 504 \, \text{million USD}8.4million copies×60=504million USD
- If sold at $70 per copy: 8.4 million copies×70=588 million USD8.4 \, \text{million copies} \times 70 = 588 \, \text{million USD}8.4million copies×70=588million USD
Approximate Revenue Range:
- $504–588 million USD (not including discounted sales, bundles, or additional revenue from DLCs and subscription services).

"Horizon Forbidden West, meanwhile, cost $212 million to develop and utilized more than 300 developers."
The Last of Us 2 and Horizon Forbidden West's Budgets Accidentally Revealed in Poorly-Redacted Document - IGN
Sony accidentally revealed the budgets for The Last of Us: Part 2 and Horizon Forbidden West in a poorly-redacted documented submitted as part of the Xbox FTC trial.
1) thats just development cost, not marketing included.
2) Your AI already failed by saying the average cost sold was $60-70
when its closer to probably $35-40
PC version is $20
PS5 Bundle is free (counts as a unit)
Holiday sales throughout the years
3)
