Which is why CCU is not an accurate measurement for something like this, it doesn't really give you any type of valuable information. I bought it like 5 days ago and I haven't touched it yet.
Horizon Forbidden West cracked and pirated within 30 seconds of release.

3. PC players are all talk.
Which game like god of war is there on PC that's cinematic on the level of a Sony game?
Alan Wake 2 comes to mind. Bombed and barely sold 1m copies despite being multiplat.
Which game like Ratchet and Clank is on there? Psychonauts 2? Sold like shit.
Dumb argument. Plenty of people buy games and don't play them the same day. This is literally true for every game on the whole store. I have over 2000 games on Steam. I didn't play them all as soon as I bought them.
Comparing CCU for the first day/weekend for similar releases makes total sense. If the CCU was high you would be bragging about the sales (like you did when you started this thread) but it's low so you keep making backflips and mental gymnastics.
People bought Horizon at release but they will play it in 3 months! They are at work! It's nighttime! It's not the weekend yet! There's no multiplayer! They are at the restaurant!
Are you saying that A two year old graphical showcase can't compete with DD2, even with all the faults, in the modern day?
The sun has set on Horizon. It was a graphical showcase and a technical masterpiece when it launched, two years ago. Now it's the sequel to a cult classic to have it's day in the sun.
We move on and nothing stops the PC train. Watch out, it's coming this way.
That is major cope and you know it.
The easiest answer to your question is the fact that they do not release it at the exact same time, so all of the hype anyone has to play it, dies out, or if they really wanted to play it that bad, they already have bought a PS5.
Alan Wake 2 is not on Steam, the majority of PC gamers do not like launchers like Epic Games. Putting your game on Epic is a stupid idea.
Yes sales are a much better indicator, it's a shame Valve is private and we don't get numbers though.
I think Horizon will sell plenty but I expect Ghosts and a Bloodborne remake to do much better.
Some people have stopped to think that maybe Horizon Forbidden West is low on player numbers because it was released close to another big game? or even worse, maybe the PC audience won't even be interested in the game, but even so, it's currently the 4th best-selling game on Steam, not bad for a late release
I wouldn't say that they're the same general game design. The best selling games on PC are generally GaaS games that are free to play or you have games that are highly moddable role playing type games.
There is a big difference I'd say between The Witcher 3 and Horizon Forbidden West.
A game that I think Sony could have more success with is probably Demon's Souls or Bloodborne as Souls games have had success on PC. That being said as you mentioned price and age are major factors. A lot of these games people have played on other systems and PC gamers are extremely cheap. So, you're going to struggle to sell a 2 year old game for 60-70 dollars.
There really haven't been many surprises around their releases. Maybe the biggest was the Returnal didn't perform better. I thought that would be better received, but I also can't remember the MSRP for the game. I remember that the developer was surprised that Sony sold it full price on PS5.
yes, Dragon's Dogma 2 isn't well optimized and even on good cards the game can run like a snail, just as it does on consoles. (The devs themselves have said that many NPCs are a big workload on the CPU, and they're going to optimize further)
on top of people whining about MTX, understandable, but its worth saying you can get almost all of that in game for free
i hope Valve gets VERY AGGRESSIVE in the hardware space with the Steam Deck, Sony needs to wake up, they're risking their console dominance and completely devaluing their console for pennies, these games are not selling, they're being HEAVLY PIRATED, the only games that make sense to release on PC are the multiplayer/live service titles, singleplayer games should remain PERMANENTLY Only On PlayStation natively, give PC players a Cloud version and if they want to play it they subscribe to PS Plus Premium, put Nixxes to work on Remasters for US, people that invest in their brand
Yeah I've bought it but I'm going to wait for further optimisation. Disappointing the game is so CPU heavy.
Objectively wrong
PS5 is behind PS4 there projected to outsell PS4 in 2025 & that’s a if since there projecting year over year downward spiral.
Porting games to PC doesn’t help the conversation around PS exclusive games & precedent has already been set, just wait there nothing more then time exclusive & at launch there launching buggy or are just worse then previous games. Wait for the port & get it cheaper, better performance & investing on a PC allows you to play Xbox games day 1 & PS games technically also Nintendo thru a emulator.
Xbox, PS & Nintendo are platform holder if they don’t have exclusive games there’s no need to buy there platform. If Xbox lost 50% of its playerbase because they went day 1 on PC PS & Nintendo would see the same result acting like PS wouldn’t be effected is high copium & just misleading. People buy a console for 1. exclusive 2. 3rd party support 3. friends. If you told a casual who can play fortnite on Xbox & PS to chose a platform & you showed them each exclusive games casuals would pick PS the console w more, higher quality exclusive games & the platform w the exclusive Spider-Man game
“R&C rift apart barely sold” bruh R&C rift apart sold 4 million sales in 1 year w a console base of 20 million. Ratchet & Clank rift apart is the highest grossing R&C game in the series being sold at $70 & only 1.7 million sales behind R&C PS4 which is the highest selling R&C released w a console base around 80 million PS4 & was price at $40
Correction 3 million (2.7) in its first year & another 1 million (1.2) in year 2
R&C rift apart made over 250 million in profit since its release
Yea it actually sold a lot more than they thought it would. Just correcting the time scale.
always wrong, rift apart sold great on ps5, and it flopped on PC
