Probably because there are still a lot of gamers on the PS4 that have not played the game yet. I believe TLOU only sold like 20-30 million as an IP? Which is like 1/5 of the userbase globally.
I feel like they should’ve had a sale before it during the first week of the show.
That’s too early of a pregame even forThere was in Holiday sale last year
Dead Space is No.1, but launch sales lower than The Callisto Protocol | UK Boxed Charts
Forspoken manages No.4

Hi -Fi Rush is in beast mode! Awesome game is awesome. And this in right after High on Life.
Forespoken has had virtually no hype, the original trailer looked promising but everything since has been mediocre at best. I don't know who was behind the game but I wouldn't put them in charge of making anything else. Sony wasted a good amount of money on the timed exclusive deals they've made so far, Deathloop, Ghostwire and forspoken were all flops. The industry as a whole just needs to stop making these deals, paying to keep mediocre games out of other gamers hands doesn't make any platform look better.
Sony has officially denied the report but it wouldn't surprise me if demand is soft, VR is always going to be niche and even though it's a "good value" for what you are getting it's still too expensive for most people. I still don't know why they are wasting resources on VR, I just don't see it ever taking off in a way that makes it worth the expense.
32.1 million PS5s sold in just over 2 years. That's a feat. This quarter, that's a lot of revenue increase due to first party game sales and hardware sales. Who knew First party matter. If you make games that people want to play, they will buy them
For comparisons sake, Xbox went down 13%, Sony increased by 53%.
• PS5 units sold - 7.1M
• Lifetime PS5 units - 32.1M (3 million under PS4 at same point in life-cycle)
• Full game software units - 86.5M
• First party software units - 20.8M (+9.5M)
• Digital Download Ratio - 62%
• PS+ Subscribers - 46.4M (-1.6M)
• Monthly Active Users - 112M (+1M)
Revenue and operating income for gaming up quarter on quarter. Driven by hardware sales and 1st party software sales.
I'm not buying any $70 games for either console. It's $40 or under for me from now on.
What I notice now is that the games don't drop in price nearly as much. Those "big" sales now end up costing $50 instead of 30-40. I struggle to find their big hits for less than $50 anymore.
I am buying games for $70, but I plan on buying 90% less of the games I normally do these days.
I think their original forecast 18 million units for the 2023 fiscal year but they just raised that to 19 million. At the time, many laughed because it seemed too unrealistic. Kudos to Sony for somehow increasing production in a supply constrained year.
They would need to sell 6.2 million units between January 2023 and March 2023 to achieve that.
