The Last of Us Remake is PlayStation's fourth biggest release on PC

Pretty low numbers. Sony will likely be testing with a several games more the water. I think they could drop this effort to porting to Steam/Epic if it continues having this disappointing selling numbers. This is certainly not a good outlook for PC-Only players.

Nah.. these ports, despite the lower than expected numbers, are still making them money. Far more money that the porting costs.

The games I see as big sellers from Sony on PC would be:

-Gran Turismo - PC has a sizable sim racing audience
-Demon's Souls/Bloodborne - self explanitory.. FROMSOFT games sell gangbusters on PC
-Ghost of Tsushima - open world action games generally do quite well
-TLOU: Factions 2 - depending on how well this is ported.. an online MP game ala "The Division 2" would do massive numbers if it's good

But trust me, they're not going to stop any time soon. They haven't even gotten to their real PC output yet.. the service games. That will be the true metric by which they judge their "PC success"... if any of their upcoming service games blow up on PC... it will cement them as a PC developer fullstop. If they blow up on PS5, but do disappointing numbers on PC.. then I could see them eventually dropping support... but the reality is that if Sony has some banger live service games, and they sell massively on PS... they will also do so on PC. PC gamers love that shit.

You're telling yourself what you want to hear... meanwhile threads are being made about how Sony should stop because these ports aren't selling and making them look bad!!

You PC Hamster Brain types are constantly begging for PlayStation games to be ported like 14-year olds with peach fuzz moustaches beg for handjobs, only more pathetically.

You forum dwelling losers are constantly saying that... while also commenting that these games aren't selling and Sony should stop. You tell yourself what you need to hear... quite pathetic indeed.

The beggars are pirating them by the millions. They shamelessly talk about it where it's allowed. Sales don't tell the whole story.

Nah, because there's not millions of people on any of these forums.. There's always exceptions to every rule... but that hardly means that actual PC gamers give a shit about these games. Like I said.. for most, they're just another game.

Then what do they give a shit about? The stats for GOW, Spider-Man and Horizon are higher than many new releases from big publishers. More than double of Gotham Knights, Callisto, Dead Space, Wild Hearts, Atomic Heart. No one cares about them too, right?

Day 1 AAA releases would kill for those numbers but you say nobody gives a shit. Why bother release anything on PC then?

Play DOTA, Counterstrike and mobile ports on your $3000 PC and fuck off.

First of all, those are Sony's top franchises... I'm not saying nobody gives a shit about those games particularly.. I'm simply saying that nobody is begging for all these ports constantly like you guys say they are. "Nobody gives a shit" is a comparison between Sony fanboys and typical PC gamers.. Anyone with a brain would know I'm referring to the games that people claim really aren't selling well at all.. like Returnal, Uncharted, Sackboy, and to a lesser extent TLOU P1, which isn't doing terribly all things considered.. it reached 36K concurrent which isn't too bad for this old of a game. I've already stated reasons as to why many of those other games didn't sell better as well...

Anyway, you're essentially comparing Sony's best games to mid tier games at best. Let's look at them, shall we?

Gotham Knights - 66 metacritic - Game always looked boring and stale as fuck, shader compilation issues at launch and other bugs/issues
Callisto Protocol - 68 metacritic - Not a big seller anywhere, had terrible shader compilation stuttering at launch among other issues
Dead Space - 87 metacritic - Not the biggest selling franchise to begin with, had performance issues on PC
Atomic heart - 75 metacritic - Boring game, people either weren't really interested or didn't want to support Russian developers in any way
Wild Hearts - 75 metacritic - Terrible performance issues on PC, mid-tier game at best

It's not surprising those games didn't light the charts on fire. They're mostly 60s and 70s meta rated games which had egregious issues at launch. When a AAA PC port is done right, they sell much better.

RE4R for example, 160K+ concurrent (compares to Callisto Protocol and Dead Space)
Doom Eternal - 100K+ concurrent (compares to Atomic Heart)
Monster Hunter World/Rise - 335K/231K concurrent (compares to Wild Hearts)

So there you go.. But hey, if you disagree that "nobody gives a shit"... then maybe we can cut out the "they're not selling and Sony should stop" talk as well?

Because it is the truth.
So you call me what you want that won’t change the reality.

The over 8 million was an admittedly false info from a ex diretor that used a trophy site wrong math.

That is exactly why after he corrected himself others sites changed the “news” to “might be lower than 8 million”.

Update: Days Gone Sales Numbers Might Be Lower Than 8 Million After Director Reveals Source Was Site That Tracks Trophies

A new wrinkle to the story.

www.gameinformer.com

There is any single evidence that Days Gone sold over 8 million but hey I’m the nonsense guy

Made up number won’t ever do good to any game… so why not accept that the game did not sold what you wished.

In the exclusive of the announcement of the Days Gone movie they also mentioned that the game sold 9M copies:

‘Outlander’s Sam Heughan Circling Sony PlayStation Feature ‘Days Gone’; Sheldon Turner Adapting

'Days Gone': Sam Heughan Circling Sony PlayStation Movie, Sheldon Turner Adapting.

deadline.com

In addition to this, the facts that Sony is making a movie of the game, that ported it to PC, that is growing their studio and that greenlighted the first pitch they received from Bend (the new IP they are working on) after DG, lead to Sony is happy with Days Gone and Bend.

Regarding that website, Gamstat, it extracted the data from the trophies extrapolating them with a major previous sales leak and known figures. A few games were off, but in most their estimates were very accurate, with a +/- 10%. Many developers from different companies mentioned that the data of their games were accurate and did use the website for making their market research. In this particular case, Ross knew that it was the case for the Sony games listed there from when he was working there, not only Days Gone.

The website stopped working when the PS5 was released due to the changes made to PSN that included to block the access to the trophies info.

He quoted this Gamestop article based in the same fake data said and after debunked by the ex-director... the article was even updaded to explain the confision but they choose to maintain the same title (for clicks?).

Days Gone movie in the works, the game sold 9M

"In the wake of Sony minting the start of a cinematic franchise in its big screen take of PlayStation game, Uncharted, which made close to $402M WW, we hear the movie division of its videogame arm, Sony PlayStation Productions, is developing the feature rendition of Days Gone, which Outlander‘s...

icon-era.com

There is any data that line with Days Gone selling 9 million.
I mean the ex-director says using his own feeling that it sold that but Sony halted the sequel due bad performance.
Remember the same Sony that allowed a lot of sequels for games selling way less than 9 million.

The narrative doesn't fit.

Bloodborne port begging is literally a cult... what we talking about here? From fake rumors, to fake twitter accounts, to fake articles up to and including harassment. A 2015 game. Anyday now. Don't even get me started on PC weebs who almost felt emancipated when Sega ported Persona to PC after serious long time begging..... GTA before that.....I mean the list goes on. To be a gaming weeb on PC is up there with their fellow Xbox brethen as the most oppressed type of gamer in gaming. Japanesse devs don't really think of the damage they're doing to some folk out there.... truly!

Anyway the Port Begging Master Race is a meme for a reason.

The pinnacle of clownery to deny it.....

The third party publisher diet is horrendous, and nobody likes to eat last. Since Valve releases a AAA exclusive once in 2 decades (maybe).... it's rough! That's the bottomline. It's not like Gabe needs to be fed more.... props for being the ultimate middle-man.... takes all the cuts, little if any put back. But hey everyone's got their tastes... and if you ask Nvidia, well... "we leave the software side to others".... yes, you do. Conditioning is a helluva drug. Pay more, expect less. Unless... "Ahoy Mateys"

Can we even forget just a year and half ago the "exclusives are bad for gaming" movement? PC/Xbox fanboys pushing the narrative cause Sony and its exclusives was the center of gaming. Too "unfair" for the platforms being left out of content - too much FOMO for years and years on end leading to a breaking point. Why even pretend? Only a fool would fall for cheap talk. So much so the second daddy MS bought 2 publishers back 2 back, and Sony started porting the narrative got dead silent.

Just cause someone won't admit the obvious doesn't mean it is not reality. You can live your own truth... but you ain't smiting anyone with that dull blade. The only thing you may do, is hurt your emotions, deep down. And that is, the definitive version of events...seeders/peer (1,000,000/5,000,000).

It would be funny if Sony releases a Bloodborne Remaster for PS5 only. PC only guys would have a meltdown. xD

You act like this is a PC thing... when the reality is that Sony's own fanboys have been begging them for updates to Bloodborne since the fucking PS4 Pro launched... begging for patches, and now begging for a PS5 remaster.

You guys beg for your own fucking games

In the words of Sony themselves. "We're going to have to go to their house, since they won't come to ours"... and yet you idiots claim were begging

Man... do you really lives in that reality?

Nothing against you but you seems to have created a Sony fanbase in your mind that doesn't exists anywhere.
What Sony fans did to you?

Are you seriously going to act like Sony fans weren't begging Sony to patch Bloodborne to support PS4 Pro when it released?....

...and that they haven't been begging Sony to release an update for PS5?

My lord you guys really are completely blind to your own bullshit

bloodborne to pc - Recherche Google

www.google.com

Enjoy.

Btw how in hell does someone that owns the game ( a platform exclusive) asking for a Pro patch = port begging by owners of a different platform?

There is no equivocation here. To even think that's a retort is the ultimate farce. Literal shell hunger... running low on ammo.

Because they're begging Sony to update the game for them... durrrr and Sony never did shit.... causing them to regain hope once again after the PS5 released that THIS would be the time they'd update it for them!.... and they haven't


What do you clowns think would happen if Sony released Bloodborne for PC.... and didn't release a patch or anything for PS5???? LMFAO the meltdowns would be LEGENDARY

So you dream of apocalypse yet you have to settle for reality.

It's sort of clarifying as to the state of your mental well being that you miss the irony of your posts in the thread you're partaking in.... a literal opposite of that wish. You thirst for it, with all anger, all CAPS yet it keeps alluding you... the payoff for all the torture endured. It's sort of the symptoms victims of bullying showcase. Yes, hardcore PS fans can be brutal. Then again, not everything is gratuitous.... hardcore Port Begging Race fans love to talk smack.

Here we're. Instead of rejoicing on the tears of PS fans that the PC version of TLOU was the definitive version of a game of a generation what you have is a full blown clowning of the PC platform and the state of affairs... since TLOU is not the only poor port in a current sea of poor PC ports (aka worst versions of games).

"But what if Bloodborne someday...."

Beggars can't be choosers.

This post is entirely a coping mechanism for losing your games

Beg them to stop!
