I've been saying that this will be the next generational RPG since last year, and it's great. Always has high hopes since it's spearheaded by the guy that made Persona big.
Metaphor: ReFantazio shipments and digital sales top one million
- Thread starter Eternal_Wings
- Start date
Metaphor broke the CCU record on Steam for Atlus. Square Enix is watching but they will skip PC day and date in the future right? The only cope you have left is: but it's gonna flop on Xbox! I'm sure it will and? What really matters here is that Sony lost all their third party exclusives.
Broke the CCU is meaningless if FF16 sold triple the amount of copies at release. It must be near 5+ millions by now. Metaphor will never reach that unless they milk it with several versions.
Its very well known that our site has the smartest asses around.
Simply not my type of game. I have watched several videos of it and while the art style looks awesome, there's nothing in the game that I have seen that even remotely interests me.
I think these comparisons a bit useless.
First all these games listed where late releases on PC while Metaphor is day and date on PC.
Second whatever Metaphor have success or not will be showed by PS5 sales of the game… these low CCU on Steam doesn’t mean that much.
Without PS gamers buying it the game is probably set to die even with these CCUs on Steam.
The good news is that the game seems to be selling like similar games on PS5 that guarantee not Persona 5 level of success (that is not niche anymore) but something like these successful niche JRPGs that sells like 2-3 million.
Been Atlus MO and don't see them stopping. I expect a Metaphor Royal down the line with new content. Because of that I might hold off on the game and wait for that definitive edition.

Eh, these ccus are probably indicative of about 1/3-1/2 of the player base being on PC. That's pretty significant.
Not disagreeing with your whole assessment, but wanted to say that Soul Hackers 2 actually released day one on PC as well
You will call me eceptical but I doubt it.
In this type of game PS5 is probably around 70-80% of the sales at launch.
Yeah, the anti-aliasing is insane. P3 Reload and P5 look so much cleaner than Metaphor. Don't know what went wrong with some of the graphical hiccups.
