TYRONE GA!
How much it cost has nothing to do with this thread.

The best the industry had to offer this year was only touched by a small fraction of a small fraction of gamers.

Something is not adding up :usure:
yes it does matter.

if a game cost like 20 mill to make and it does 60/70 million in revenue, that's a win


edit: but you know this so I'm out

I’m not talking about Sony's business prospects.

I’m talking about the video game industry itself.

This game is supposedly the best the industry had to offer this year and very few people actually played it.

There’s a disconnect between what people are actually playing and what the games media actually celebrates.

There’s a conversation to be had there, but most of you are content with just running with stan narratives to support your favorite product :smh:

Xbox wish luckys tale and crackdown sold 2 million
This is why you goofy fukks are hilarious.

1.5 mill is a flop in any other context.

Sonic remaster sold more copies and yall in here pretending 1.5 million sales for a sony exclusive goty game isn’t a flop.

There’s 60+million PS5 gamers and less than 2% of them actually played this game.

Hell, it looks like YOU didn’t even play the game.


Sony stans :mjlol:

Alan Wake 2 must be a giga flop. It's on all platforms and sold LESS than Astrobot most likely :wow:

Using this logic, Metaphor was a flop as well.

Along with being the developers best selling title ever.

And winning multiple awards…

That's a major flop. It's on 4 platforms.
It sure gets inflated attention in the media compared to how many gamers actually played the game.

And that’s kinda the point of the thread.

Don’t you think it’s a problem that the best the industry has to offer according to the games media isn’t very popular among the people actually playing games?

Where do you think that disconnect comes from?
