Sold 5 million in the first 11 days so it’s likely already surpassed that.
The OP article also mentions that they are expecting to sell 11.6 million in the first year. They’re gonna be fine
If they burned through 5 million in 11 days they should be WELL past that by now I’d think…
For most things like games and movies, especially those that are highly anticipated, a huge chunk of sales are immediate. Then there’s a steep drop off in rate of sales.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve long since surpassed their goal, but initial sales are generally just a good indication of initial sales. Not much else.
They know these games sell systems. This and another recent headline about PS+ titles being Sony exclusives costing the company amount or whatever…
They know a huge part of why these projects are worth the cost is outside of sales of that game and as a mechanism to maintain market dominance.
(Edit: a word)
It’s a fantastic game that improved on the first games in nearly every way. They’ll hit it and easily surpass it, especially as more people get their PS5’s.
Do you know anyone who wants a ps5 who doesn’t have one already irl?
Personally I left consoles behind in the 360/ps3 era, luckily Sony has been porting games to PC.
I hope they continue that trend instead of slipping back into forced exclusives, I like being able to play the games, but not enough to buy a console again.
Yes, several. Some of the people are waiting for their kids’ birthdays, others are waiting on a specific release, and still others are waiting to see if a slim version comes out (with the disk).
Golly I’m glad they took such a big risk for us undeserving gamers
Or they could sell 14.4 million at half price, since the actual product can be copied and downloaded as many times as needed.
