PlayStation Games Sales Numbers Leaked (Bloodborne and Days Gone 7.5 million etc)

[ElCapitano]

Really dont care if games like gow were bundled at $560 it means the games in proced accorsingly

The tables shows everything we need to know

Honestly youre not doing yourself any favor botboy

Wasn't implying God of War didn't do great. It sold amazingly well. This just gives further context to it is all.

Which is what to be precise?

I think some of the bigger numbers of unit sales must be counting people adding games to their library via ps+/psnow, otherwise the low ASP doesn't really make sense

Liking the physical splits, all things considered.

Not at all, otherwise avg's would be pennies or a few dollars, Spider-Man had 66m "players" and still had a $37 avg. It's just that Sony is actually reasonable with discounts, unlike other companies, and they have digital sales almost constantly.

Remember they mentioned that close to 50% of "players" were 2nd accounts though

Druckmann shouldve been canned forever ago.

TLOU2 was a better game. MS had a field day and got exactly what they wanted with the leak and it only hurt PS.

Fans should of supported the game more, it was brillant apart from a certain character dying. Better in every way except the story

Exactly.

And I disagree with the story part, but that's trivial at this stage. The game is polarizing story wise, but fuck, it sold 10M copies in 1 1/2 years, and people still say dumb shit.

 

[Kokoloko]

Days Gone selling more than Death Stranding and close to TLOU2 is weird af.

Negative media on those games really worked.

GT7 should of sold morw than GT Sport too

I don't find Days Gone selling more than DS being weird, it's a much more mainstream experience. It also had over 1 year more of sales to be even "close" to TLOU2. It was a successful game overall, and didn't get a sequel because their studio head(s)' a moron.

Exactly.

I enjoyed the story. Just Joel and Ellie's adventure stuck better with me.

The combat, world, action scenes, length, and obvious visuals were better in every way.
I enjoyed the story too. Wish Joel died in a part 3 though and we got more moments with him.

10m sales are 1 1/2 years or till 2024?

It was the only PS studio game I couldnt finish last gen.

Also Returnal deserves alot more sales. The gameplay and Story was awesome

Yes and those other 33 million would be $0 asp and would drag the average down significantly. Which is why I don't think they're counted.

i'm saying those other 33 million aren't counted as sales, they're counted as players

1 and a 1/2 years.

Also we know it had a very strong 2022. Was making the top sales list on PSN in a lot of months and also made the list for 2022 as a total.

No other Sony game as old was on that list is 2022.

And with the show we also know it had a very strong early 2023.

Revenue wise it was announced in 2022 as the third highest PS4 game. Only trailing GOW 4 and Spiderman.

Nearly 2 years on its very likely 2nd as the PPU is quite high. Doubt it will reach Spiderman at number 1 but that's to be expected.

Yes, and you also said this

My point is, they're not counting ps+ numbers at all because if they were, ASP would be pennies or 1-2 dollars.

The asp is not low at all, which is why I said this

It's just that Sony is actually reasonable with discounts, unlike other companies, and they have digital sales almost constantly.

Sales start at $70/$60 and slowly reduce to $50-> $40 -> $30 ->$20 -> $10. As well as bundles. So these averages make perfect sense.

All in their ASP is around $40, ($1233 total spend divided by 30 titles). Which is pretty great considering they don't permanently keep their games to $60 like Nintendo. MLB is obviously an outlier, but it's a yearly release with so it's fine to add it in.

Consoles keeping mascot platformers alive. Thank god Jaysus.

The dark age must never materialize.

I wonder if Kojima will be able to survive without Sony's money.

 

[Vertigo]

Sony didn’t publish pc release of Death Stranding.

5 million for the vanilla release.
200k for the dc
Upgrade to dc revenue not included
Pc salsa not included since deep silver publishes or some shit
Been on ps plus/extra forever

Death stranding did fantastic. And this data sorta looks almost 2 years old

Ballpark Estimate puts it at 7-9 million. They have a player metric stat but that would include the subscription players.

PS - steam charts sales estimates on the bottom of game pages are 100% fake news


PPS - Bloodborne! 8 million sold and it’s a staple of both plus launch ps5 catalog and extra. Means many more have played it. That’s good news.
