For the guy who always talks up "engagement" you should be the first to understand that Spider-Man 2 caused a lot of PS5s to sell within the last few months.

This whole break even # looks a little different when they're pushing more PS5s than ever before.

They lose money on console sales. They were giving away Spider-man 2 for free with consoles.

And Spider-man don’t even drive much engagement.

Check the year recap thread. None of you spent a lot of time on the game.

engagement = buying a PS5 to play the game. Along with that it's been reported they are no longer losing money on console sales.

In either case, you think people are selling their PS5s after beating Spider Man 2? They still spent 400+ or whatever to get in the ecosystem.

yall going out sad.

I’m not even sure what your angle is here. Just finding something else to argue about.

This thread is about the economics of AAA gaming.

It’s clear Sony doesn’t make a lot of money on their “exclusives” they exist to get people into the ecosystem so they can spend money on Fortnight and COD DLC

Starfield being a piece of shyt really is eating them up

@Gizmo_Duck we just went through this last night after them believing projections over real sales data.

Remember Ratchet lost money!

It's the end of the road.

Angle = make great games to get people to spend money with PS.

It's not that difficult to grasp, it just doesn't fit in with your little tirade so you're out here acting stupid instead

 

[MeachTheMonster]

TLOU2 recouped development cost in preorders alone

TLOU2 made it's money back the same week of release.

[Gizmo_Duck]

You out here acting like a smart dumb nikka, you better than that.

Economics of first party/exclusive AAA games is about more than just selling the game. They are also pushing the console and everything else they sell with it. Be it PS+/GP subs, console sales, etc.

The stages of denial....especially when its over.
