Point of sales estimate sites are scams for cultute warrior retards. Those numbers are also 2 months old. Anyone who quotes shit like Alinea, Circana, Famitsu as a "credible" source is a fucking moron.

>estimates
>alinea analytics
so it either sold 600k, or 2.4m, since they're always wrong

>>740787675
The cost of the marathon is $200 million, and that likely doesn’t include advertising expenses.
Assuming Sony’s net profit per copy sold is $50,
the marathon would need to sell at least 4 million copies just to break even.
Even if the figure of 1.2 million is inaccurate, tripling it would still only amount to 3.6 million copies.
That’s not even enough to break even.

>>740788324
They are earning $50 per copy on a game that costs $40? What money hack is this?

>>740788324
I don't care about any of that. What I care about is retards quoting these dogshit sites and using months old metrics as some sort of retarded "gotcha". Everyone knows Marathon sold poorly. At least try to get accurate numbers rather than quoting some retard guessing online.

Yes, point of sales estimate sites are exactly that, GUESSING. I'm glad you understand.

None of them are credible. Don't just leave one of the 3 I mentioned out to twist a narrative. Famitsu is just as egregious because it's one country physical sales only and peddled here every week to stir culture war garbage. Any sales filtered down to fit an agenda are irrelevant. There's no reason why in 2026, at the very least, they couldn't include digital sales.

will Sony pull the plug after free week ends and the numbers go back to where they were?

Reminder that SONY spent zero dollars sponsoring streamers to play this game for season 2.

>>740789258
It had an 88k CCU peak on launch day. 1.2m to 1.5m is realistic for PC + consoles.

>>740789572
It's probably in the 1.5m to 2m range, but those are still disaster numbers since the break even target (at launch) was 7-9m.

>>740789258
they were desperate to see if season 2 could pump the numbers
while not great, we'll see what player count looks like after turning off f2p because the numbers are technically better right now

>>740790101
>technically better
Anon, Marathon's S2 F2P numbers were a third of the last time they did F2P with the server slam. They barely broke 40k, and then only for an hour or two on a single day. These numbers are really bad for the 'save the game' patch. Friday's could be a bloodbath.

shooters are dying anon
people are losing interest after two decades of industry dominance
and ARC Raiders largely ate their lunch by releasing first, exposing extraction shooters and their critical flaw to general audiences before Marathon promised an even more masochistic experience
Pragmata, while the gameplay isn't wildly original, has a working gimmick and scratches the primal instinct to protect small and cute things
and unlike a multiplayer game, which is dependent on stable player counts to refresh the audience, a singleplayer game will play the same regardless of how many active players it has

>>740793719
if they don't like it, they do

Most retarded nigger award.

>>740800224
The point Destiny fags seem to forget is that Destiny was expensive as fuck to run and mantain hence why Sony is not bothering with forcing them to continue supporting the game

Marathon on the other hand is like 4 maps tops that need updating every season if they even bother updating, it's far cheaper to host and maintain

Yeah Destiny 2 before the news that it was shutting down it was at 9k, so Sony knows these numbers mean jack shit

If Destiny fags can keep this act for a whole year then maybe Sony will change their tone, the issue that these faggots don't realise is that even if Sony were to greenlit D3 it's gonna take another 5-6 years to make and after blowing 3 billion on Bungie I don't think Sony is gonna want to make that bet

Marathon is already finished and requires very little money to make it work, compared to the insane revenue model that relied heavily on paid expansions

>>740800893
How is it better to lose money on a cheaper to run game than to make money on a more expensive to run game? Marathon doesn't make money.

>>740800893
Yeah I know Destiny took more people to make and shit out content, but FFS they had 300 to 400 people on Marathon and still have that many with 1/20th of the content.

like, compare Marathon at Destiny 2 to each other when they shipped. It's totally fucked.

>>740800893
destiny made its money back in a month
and it wasn't that expensive when you compare it to marathon, you speak as if marathon was super cheap but 250million for the amount of content it has and the type of game it is is INSANELY expensive. Destiny might've been 2x the cost of Marathon but it pulled 10x the revenue during the first year of operation.
It was what allowed Bungie to operate for 10years without money issues.

>>740787449
>1.2 million copies
sounds like a very successful extraction shooter
maybe they should have picked a different genre if they wanted to actually make money?

>pick a genre that makes money
this shit breaks my brain. why the FUCK would you spend hundreds of millions on an an extraction shooter?? why?!??

>>740800224
Destiny is years into its game life cycle. Unless it was going to get cancelled, there was no way it would reach high player numbers again. Marathon, had a rough launch but has time to be salvaged as it is still early days.

>>740801918
Destiny 2 is years into its game life cycle. Sunset it and make Destiny 3. Release a remastered Destiny 1 on PC to tide people over in the meantime.
>Marathon has time to be salvaged
That was this season 2 free weekend. Nobody gives a fuck about the game except for the 20-30k hardcore fans who bought it and played it at launch. The numbers only ever shrink.

>>740789572
It's been a month and a half, do you really think marathon just magically sold a million more?

>>740801812
They legitimately thought it was the next huge evolution in FPS's. They wanted to be to extraction shooters what Fortnite is to battle royale shooters. They dumped everything into Marathon because they were hoping that if they were the first big budget AAA extraction shooter they would corner this new, exploding market and be set for next 20 years. Then reality dropped the punch line. Not only did extraction shooters not take off they were beat to market by ARC and now they are quadrupling down on the sinking ship.

>>740801812
It was because, during early development, games like Tarkov were exploding in popularity but there weren't many games like it. Thus, they assumed that if they made an extraction shooter then they could exploit a growing market.

>>740801058
>How is it better to lose money on a cheaper to run game than to make money on a more expensive to run game?

idk maybe the part where you have to pay California tier salaries for 6 years?

You know Sony can't magically sprout a new Destiny game out of existence instantly right?

>>740788324
>Assuming
Everything after that is just lies based off of your fanfic.

>>740802097
It's been 2,5 months, so it likely sold more than what OP posted.
(March-->June is 2 full months minimum for the other browns)

>>740800013
Brutal mogging

>>740802096
Destiny 1 and 2 pissed off fans so a Destiny 3 was unlikely to be as initially profitable as working on marathon. With that said, the suits probably underestimated how horribly the marketing/launch of Marathon went so they are going through the sunk cost fallacy.

>>740802286
So it's better to just let the company you paid $3.6b die without seeing even any return? How is that better than footing the bill towards a product that can make you back you're investment? This argument is, and always will be, retarded. Sony is hoping for some grand miracle reevaluation of Marathon where it pulls a Battlefront and gains players as the years pass and it's not going to happen.

Yesterday showed that the fans are still there, still willing to come out, and still want to support the IP. Destiny didn't drop to irrelevance because people just got tired of Destiny. They left because of a mountain of terrible decisions they implemented in Edge of Fate and didn't fix with Renegades.

>>740802220
Marathon should have been pulled and reworked the moment it became clear that the only reason Arc's numbers blew up is because they turned it into PVE with an extraction bit at the end (like HD2).

>>740802251
It was a huge gamble that the genre would expand, and Marathon would launch trying to cannibalize Tarkov's market. Tarkov had the 'first mover' momentum behind it. Trend chasing never works for vidya.

they are not gonna let Bungie die, they wouldn't have assumed that 700m loss in their Q2 financials if they were planning to lol
in fact they explicitly told investors they are taking that hit on the chin because they believe in the long term of the Bungie purchase

Also they already cancelled Concord and a bunch of other GaaS bullshit

with Bungie they are gonna be extra careful because they don't want to start to give their investors (as well as the broad gaming community) the slight hint that if a game flops they will kill it right away because in the long run that shit is just TERRIBLE for business

>>740789928
They are going way lower. There is no way the free weekend actually converted many players into sales. Demos only work if the product is actually good. You cant just think it is good, it must actually be good.

>>740802661
People are supporting Destiny now because they fear that the IP will never come back. Destiny 3 might be viable now, however, it is hard to tell when you were dealing with a dead game (Destiny 2) and a fumbled launch (Marathon). When a lot of money has been put into a new game and it struggles, studios will put more efforts into rehabilitating it rather than using an old "reliable" IP due just how much cost went in.

>>740802721
The project should have been cancelled multiple times. It was originally going to be a standard arena shooter like Destiny's Crucible but a full on game but they changed their minds and scapped it. Then it was going to be a hero shooter but that didn't work out so they reset development again. Then they decided on an extraction shooter, had the whole plagiarism shit happen, development stalled multiple times. It was a shit show from start to finish and the sad thing is the whole 15 people who even remembered and cared about Marathon don't want a fucking pvp online shooter. They wanted a single player story focused game. They made a game for basically nobody.

>>740802963
Wasn't honestly really surprised when Sega cancelled Hyena's the reputational damage that game would have done would have absolutely cost them more money in the long run than just eating the 100mil loss. To say nothing of upkeep costs.

Releasing the game turned it into a tax write off worth more then they would have gotten in sales. Movie industry does it often, they call it "impairment charges".

>>740802721
It was a huge gamble. However, due to how bloated and time exhaustive development is, they probably figured that they could be the next big extraction shooter and exist with Tarkov. They overestimated Bungie's brand name and the market size for extraction shooters.

>>740803476

>>740791168

Thing is, announcing 1M copies sold after a few days would have looked ridiculous. Idk how you guys don't get this.

>>740803636
That's an additional 100-300k since the large march data not 100-300k total.

>>740803784
I know a game that's usually doing lower numbers than Marathon with a 54K all-time peak on a free weekend. That game also sold 11M+ copies.
Stop embarassing yourselves kek, we already know you can't count.

>>740803541
It just fucks me up that almost any of the neckbeards on this board could have looked at the business plan for Marathon back in 2021 and said 'don't do it, but if you're gonna, don't spend more than $50m on it,' and been totally right. But here we are, Marathon is probably $300m in the red at least, and life continues to be retarded.

>>740787449
If Marathon had a different artstyle and wasnt extraction slop, it could be a good game. But the artstyle is offputting and no one wants an extraction shooter.
The game mechanics themselves, the gunplay etc, is fine.

Their plan was to also have Bungie as their live service consultants so hiring a expert studio would've boosted money elsewhere in other projects. But then Bungie fucked everything up and marathon turned out shittier than the live service games sony already had

>>740804156
Bungie is filled with the cancerous philosophies so it is at its core. I surmise the reason Marathon wasn't Concord levels of troon faggotry is because execs had some brains to tard wrangle them. If Sony wasn't doing it before they definitely began doing it when the plagiarism incident poured millions down the drain cuz delays.

>>740800013
its simple, the japanese leadership are going to purge the whole bunch of american parasites and they allowed them to do all of this so that they are asked, no, demanded to do so by investors.

>>740804156
It's woke, just in a slightly different way because it's all robots so they can't do the usual woke thing (make all characters brown and gay).
The core of woke is worship of inferior things and bad traits as if they're superior and good. Marathon worships ugliness. It is the ugliest game ever made, entirely on purpose. And that's woke.

>>740800893
even if it is cheaper, the audience is too small to justify its existence vs destiniy's huge audience.

When is the next Sony investor meeting or whatever its called? I would LOVE for Sony to try and explain to their investors why the hell their flagship studio making one game has still failed to attract any sort of players during its big S2 update with the F2P faucet turned on.

>>740803905
It's the big money in, big money out mentality that has plagued the 10s of gaming. Because of blockbuster games like GTA V, companies assume that they will be successful if they put ludicrous amounts into their games.

>>740805554
Sony's next quarterly earnings report (Q1 FY2026) is expected to be released on July 31, 2026. Should have numbers from Jan -> March. However they will likely only show topline and successes. Even if an investor calls in and asks for hard marathon numbers they will cope and dodge the question. Worked these calls for years and this always happens.

>>740787449
$3.6 billion + $400 million + tip

>>740805554
Maybe they'll obscure it as another impairment loss. Sony Corporation as a whole ain't in the red (I think), so the profuse bleeding in the gaming branch can also be glossed over in language that would confuse a law doctorate.

>>740791505
The only digital storefront they don't have data for is Nintendo's because Nintendo doesn't share their data in general and they only operate off retail tracking. Xbox Live and PSN do and they also have the publishers corroborating those numbers.

>>740800893
>it's gonna take another 5-6 years to make
nah not in the modern era of game development. Typically the longest part of develpment for a game like Destiny is the world building and initial idea for what the game should be. Destiny already is kinda locked in on that front. Its an FPS MMO-looter shooter hybrid. It would probably only take 2-3 years to make the initial release, I believe D2 was only 3 years after D1 launched. I imagine if they started soon on D3 they would be ready for PS6's launch (this is actually what I think they will do, btw).

>>740805967
biggest humiliation ritual in gaming history, yet Sony is doing a good job of covering up just how colossal of a fuck up it is to the public perception.

Which convo would you rather have with Sony

Then your thinking is wrong, because Sony just laid off all that team and has outright stated they do not want a Destiny 3 because they're ALL IN on Marathon.

>>740805760
>Even if an investor calls in and asks for hard marathon numbers they will cope and dodge the question.
Which is funny, because if investors had balls, they'd ask and pester why Hot Shit Hermen remix is pushing Marathon over Destiny (as proven yesterday when Destiny's player count shit stomped Marathons LAUNCH CCU maximum handily).

Even if that last patch day maximum of 125,000+ players was a temporary blip it's still HIGHER than Marathon's maximums of 80,000 (+ PS/X-box numbers of like 20,000) and the post-F2P/near ending of 15,000 players (4,000 more than when S2 launched and still bleeding!).

Hermen's head needs to roll.

wasnt their last meeting from jan to the end of march? which is why they said marathon had good player retention and reviews? because they did not see what happened after march.

they'll be all in on marathon for another 3 months until it shows that it isn't capable of being successful. Mega companies like Sony change their mind all the time.

They're not learning shit, it's clearly a begrudging thing they're doing in desperation not because they want to, but because they have to get Marathon's numbers up. It's a really funny admission that woke shit turns prospective players away though, lmao

>>740806902
You seem really low energy, shillbro. Did getting gaped by D2's farewell patch sting that badly?

>>740787449
Why did they bank on some sweaty competitive try hard extraction shooter to be appealing? Can Bungie just make a good campaign and fun multiplayer game again?

Bungie would be retarded to.

>>740807726
i dont really care if they remove the pronoun shit due to fear of backlash or due to internal enlightment as ling as theyre gone.
its operant conditioning really
all that retard garbage got there cause the insufferable gcj trannies would make a stink when they werent there
now we make a stink when they are
cept unlike they, we actually bought things, also we are 10000x more, also we are actually funny, also they fear us
the world is healing, little by little
see summer games fest? sexy girls and good games and no live service shit.
we will fix them. or they will die
both work.
sony is sweating already that all their first party games sales are in the gutter and are super pissed at the reception of the state of fail

>>740808026
>sweaty competitive try hard extraction shooter
this wasn't even the biggest issue, the game mainly looks like fucking dogshit and the shooting is a snoozefest

So then in you opinion what should Bungie/Sony do at this point. Sony is absolutely not going to eat the cost of absorbing Bungie yet.

Why did no one buy Marathon?

>Why did no one buy Marathon?
as a PS5 player why should i get it when Sony charges me a premium to play their own game?
marathon should be bundled with a year long PSN+ subscription.

>>740808026
Director changes and lots of fart huffing. Was meant to be sorta mmo-lite at first. Then the apex guy came.

>we will fix them. or they will die
The great filter, woke slop will keep making billions in losses until going bankrupt or adapt, many are seeing that the hedgefund woke slop backing artificial stockpumping programs are not worth it long term against actual organic growth by keeping the ip valuable, short term profit is not worth destroying an entire ip credibility and worth.

The only reason Destiny continued to have sales- and sales which were decaying mind you- is because its players were mazed. Nobody in their right fucking mind would look at the past ten years of Bungie's conduct and conclude "I trust these people to give me a product in exchange for money"

>>740810481

Bungle burned their reputation to ash.

>>740805554
i mean, they already wrote off bungie in its entirety in the last quarter "except for goodwill" and they torched goodwill by killing destiny 2, if destinyfags can keep putting up 100k playercount while marathon drops below 10k, sony will probably be forced to make destiny 3

Is that why you have to reassure yourself every thread?

>>740812258
To be fair Halo 4 was the first mainline game for a HUGE IP from a "new" studio. Marathon is an obscure IP from a hasbeen developer.

>>740812264
Looks to me like even the games target audience would rather be frotting than playing marathon.

>>740813287
Why are you thinking about tranny frotting? Did you get groomed?

>>740813635
I never purchased marathon, so no.

>extraction shooters had never sold well and at most constituted an overly enthusiastic but modest playerbase
>Destiny 2 not doing exceptionally well but at least has a dedicated userbase
>game was in development before Sony bought them but Sony knew they'd be on the hook for it and Destiny 2 and spend billions of dollars to buy Bungie
>also let Bungie act as consultants and kill other projects they had going on like TLOU2 multiplayer for the sake of live service
>give hundreds of millions of dollars for Concord because the dev team used to be Bungie devs
>buy Haven Studios, Fairgame$ put on back burner so Haven could provide support for Firewalk to make Concord
>Marathon somehow gets far enough into development before anyone notices they straight up just stole shit from an artist
>gets delayed even more and Arc Raiders steals what little thunder it could hope to have
>Bungie cannot support Marathon and Destiny at the same time and decides Destiny needs to die

Seems like everything over the last decade around Bungie has just been a bunch of retards with exponentially more money than sense and the only person that made out it okay was Parsons and his car collection, and all he had to do was be a social media whipping boy and he'd walk away with millions of dollars.

>>740800013
Ooof. Imagine you're one of the Japanese old fags at the board of directors and witness how the Americans are scamming you right under your nose.

>>740803917
I agree that extraction slop is a horrible genre but that artstyle is the best thing that Marathon has going for it.
