Uh oh.
>purposefully taking 40% decrease in profits just to btfo chudsdamn… is this based or cringe
>sells better than any recent PC exclusive Based
YASSSSSS
How many copies did Mario Galaxy sell? I can't imagine that many tendies buying a port.
Man, it's so funny. Dring is doing the classic gloating and acting like it's the biggest launch ever and then always does a second tweet with context saying "well it's actually down but I think it's super epic, personally.">>722558618Not many. GoY did 45k and Galaxy 1+2 did 15k.
>>722558256>40% below originaldon't expect a ghost 3
>PS5 only has 60% of a gameGyob Gyeg
>>722558256Is this shit a souls-like deal? Asking because god I really wanna play an action game that isn't fucking souls slop and that seems to be the only way action games get made anymore.
Twitter cap thread? You better BELIEVE it's off-topic!
Since this thread is off-topic anyway, does anyone know why fucking iqdb is CONSTANTLY under high load these days? It's insane that I am frequently placed into alleged queues in the thousands. Is the site getting ddos'd for the past year or some shit?
>>722558738Well yeah, their job is to do damage control.
>>722559073I imagine a lot of places are pulling from its API
UH OH, TWATTER THREADCLEAN IT UP, JANNOID
NINTENDO FUCKING BTFONINTENDO FUCKING BTFONINTENDO FUCKING BTFO
Switch 2 sales down in Spain...GoY crushing MG1+2 in England...
>>722559073More people are trying to find the source for an image when it's actually AI and they're just wasting resources.
>>722558256Who the fuck cares?
>>722559353Incels desperate for a win.
>>722558256>BTFO chuds by making less profitsBASED
>>722558256Was there a digital only ps4 consoles? Most people don’t buy physical and if they have a digital only console they don’t even have a choice.
>>722558908try a fucking youtube video. the actual game came out years ago
>>722559551GoT was sold during covid, and bongs were shut inside their cottages buying it digitally on their PS4s and PS5s..
>>722558256>Ghost of Tsushima had a slower launch that built up on good word of mouth>Ghost of Yotei goes in with franchise power>only does 60% of the sales with mixed word of mouth and negative comparisons to the original going forwarduh oh
Lmao, this is a bad year for tendies so far.
>>722558256Not surprising. Everyone who was interested would buy it day 1
>>722558256>It's selling way less than its predecessor, here's why this is a good thing.
>>722558256>I still find that impressiveYou do? I'm sure sony executives will gladly consider your opinion.
>>722558256It's good news as long as it beats Shitendo.
>>722558256uk yaaaaaaaaawwwwn
when will people learn that the UK is a bizarro world?you can't extrapolate any trends to the rest of the normal less raped and retarded world
>>722559073How is a thread about video game sales trends off-topic?
>>722558256>BROS YOTEI IS HAVING SOME EPIC AMAZERINOS SALES>really?>yes!!!!!!! in UK boxed launch sold more than the SECOND WEEK of [another, unrelated, different genre game] and a 20 year old tendie game!!!!!!!!!!>right....... be honest now.>it's 40% down the original... BUT THAT'S A GOOD THING ACTUALLYThese guys are a riot, I love it.Now we wait for the "journalist" shill media to only report the first line and twist it as it being game of the decade or some shit.
>>722558256The uk doest even release actual numbers, the whole "3 time more than mario" is fanfiction
>this sony game with a nine figure budget marginally outselling the second switch rerelease of mario galaxy is HUGE
>>722561286creature of yokai reuses the old engine and assets there's no way it's a nine figure budget
uh oh, the jannies ignored the snoy hall monitors. will they start a tantrum now
>>722558256Thanks OP, ammunition to own the libs in their safe spaces elsewhere.So their last 3 woke games flopped: GoY, Hades 2 and Silent Hill Fail. I wonder if these woke companies are getting worried seeing these results:Bloober Team - Silent Hill 1 RemakeCD Projekt Red - Witcher 4Naughty Dog - Intergalactic: The Heretic ProphetOr if they're still going to continue acting smug and condescending, like the 'modern audience' are the majority.
So the exact same thing that happened with Spiderman and Spiderman 2, wonder how many times they'll keep doing it, until they're bankrupt maybe?
>>722561105>How is a thread about video game sales trends off-topic?they being sarcastic or snoys/wokes wanting to hide a thread with negative news.
>>722558256>really really good>40% down?
>>722561842obviously you dont understand, chud
>>722561639Eh, sony can be retarded with it's money sometimes like with spiderman 2 they had them remake all of the map instead of using the assets from 1.
>>722561639Budget is never about the tech
>>722560703
>>722558775physical copies anon, five years ago they were on their way out, nowadays you buy one you're practically a collector because that disc is taking up valuable funkopop space
>>722558256Devil's advocate, it's been a few years since then and the trend away from physical sales has continued. If Sony is oddly silent about sales numbers we'll know the truth.
>>722559073Its because of bots scrapping shit for AI models lol.
>>722563771Ghost of Sushi released literally during chink virus peak. Dystopian shithole like UK had everything closed then so that argument falls flat.
>>722558371>PC exclusive Bro thinks we're still in 2005
>>722558256>supporting anitfa terrorist gameswhy not send money to hamas if you have no morals??
>>722563771Normally you'd be correct but the first game released during the covid lockdown in 2020. Physical sales were practically nonexistent during that.
>>722558908It's an Assassins Creed-like
>>722558256It‘s crazy how fast physical games are dying. What a shame.
>>722558256>I'm impressed that a sequel sold just above half of the original...why
>>722561639LMAOHorizon Forbidden West is an asset flip and it cost 4 times more than the first game that made everything from scratch.
Down 40% is a difficult one to work out the impact of. I'd assume year on year, digital would be increasing it's share of copies sold. I doubt it would be 40% though. Anyone got any insight with evidence?
>>722558256You guys are so stupid. You really don't get it, do you? Why do you think these companies keep releasing these games that people will get pissed about and not buy? You really think these CEOs and most other employees there (the non-woke ones, aka most) aren't smarter than you? They get the money they need to even make these games in the first place from the ones that require DEI. And do you know who those people are? The ones that rob you every single day and become billionaires. They have endless money to waste because they're constantly siphoning it from all of us. It's a tap that never ends. So we think we're beating them by not buying it, when in reality they have no choice, they either die fast or die slowly, being fed by the people that rob us.
This board is complete garbage.
>>722558256Who the fuck still buys boxed games outside of collector's editions?
