I knew the numbers were bad but these are awful. Judging from the "Released about 6 months ago" tagline on Spider-Man Remastered which released in August 2022, this graph is probably from around January 2023.
After an entire year, God of War couldn't sell what it sold on ps4 in 3 days. Spider-Man couldn't even reach half its ps4 launch sales of 3m, in 6 months.
Epic offered Sony 50m PER GAME to put their IP exclusively on Epic Game Store. 4 games for 200m. 4 years later and Sony still hasn't even made 200m from 10 ports combined. They would've been better off taking Epics offer or better yet just not mess with PC at all.
Imagine selling 10 of your biggest and best marquee titles and ruining future marketing power and console sales...just to make less than a week's worth of PSN revenue
"....BUT ITS STILL PROFIT!!! ITS FREE MONEY!!!" ....No it's not, opportunity cost is a very real thing. If you think GoW, TLOU, Uncharted, Spider-Man, etc are worth less than 200m, you seriously need to get your head checked. And some idiots thought Nintendo should follow suit, now they're laughing at Sony.
Edit - bottom right says 2/6/2022, which is obviously a mistake. I think it was a typo and they meant 2/6/2023. Which means this could be from Feb 2023.
