Whether Yotei will even be as successful in the West as Tsushima is doubtful, if only because it will be more expensive and (like every other Sony IP) will sell worse than its predecessor.
Sony will be lucky if it sells 5 million copies, and a few hundred thousand more with the Steam release.
after all, it is Sony's money that Mr. Cuc... er, Mr. Druckmann is throwing out the window with both hands to push his agenda forward.
and Intergalatic will be a flop, you don't have to be a clairvoyant to know that. and I can hardly wait for Sony Japan to FINALLY put an end to this madness that has been going on at PlayStation for years.
because one thing is certain, Intergalatic will cost at least $300 million. and I doubt that the costs will even come close to being recouped. not to mention profit.
Sony knows full well that part 3 will not even come close to the sales figures of part 1 and will even sell worse than part 2. And that part 3 will also be much more expensive.
No matter what people say online, part 2 killed the franchise. Joel should never have been killed!
It is completely understandable why Sony does not give the green light.
No matter what Sony does, there are now enough people on the Internet who hate everything Sony does! And the fact that Sony is more successful than ever just makes these people angrier.
the SoP was OK. Not a mega highlight but also not a complete disaster like most people want to portray.
The PS5 shows how FAR (and by that I mean VERY FAR) the perception is between the internet and reality.
If you believe the internet, the Playstation brand is dead and Sony is on the verge of bankruptcy, but the reality is just the opposite.
You should really stop paying attention to all the idiots on the internet. 75 million in this day and age with the current economic situation is a huge success. And GTA VI is still to come....
LOL I really can't wait if all the casuals don't upgrade and the Switch 2 ends up staying under 50 million. Not unlikely given the current economic situation. and then we have to see what else Trump, who has already announced tariffs, plans to do.
Y'all forget that most Switch consoles were sold during the covid lockdown.
One console will have GTA VI (the most important game of all time) and the other will not.
I also find it very funny how some people here believe that the Switch 2 will sell better than the PS5. although a price isn't even known yet. and I expect a lot of casuals will just stick with the Switch 1.
"Sony will slap this woman's face on absolutely everything."
Pretty much that
If the Lego game and the remaster showed one thing, it's that this IP has no future at all, no matter how many times Sony (or rather Hermen) tries to force Horizon on people.
Also, let's not forget that Aloy is another Toxic Girl boss. and apart from the Resetera bubble, the majority of people have absolutely no interest in this crap anymore.
The sooner Totokoi finally cleans up, the better. And with the exception of God of War, all modern Sony IPs are money burners anyway.
Will I really see the return of Jak and Daxter? I want to believe it, but I've waited so many times in the past and at some point I stopped giving myself false hope.
Furthermore, all of the key developers who worked on it back then have long since left ND.
On the other hand, Sony is also forced to focus on smaller titles again now that the AAA bubble has burst and the next million flops are already guaranteed.
Nintendo fanboys and their incredibly unrealistic expectations of the hardware... that was the case with the WiiU, continued with the Switch and will continue now.
That rude awakening will definitely be wonderful again. If it turns out that a handelheld doesn't have the same performance as a PS5.
I don't feel like commenting on this topic anymore. because I see again how comments are being diligently deleted here....
The elephant in the room is still being ignored and people are instead looking for other excuses as to why so many games flopped. I guarantee you it will continue next year.

Definitely my GOTY with Astro Bot and MUCH BETTER than Rebirth!
In contrast to Rebirth, SB was much better optimized for the PS5. It's a shame that a mobile developer shows a AAA studio how to properly optimize a game for the PS5.
of course not. But it's easier to blame Sony and the PS5 than to recognize that the Final Fantasy brand isn't nearly as popular as the internet would like to believe. I hope Sony has learned their lesson and won't pay SE a penny more.
Sony has hit the highest highs and the lowest lows this year.
The industry will definitely change...... and I am optimistic that it will be for the better. So many games have flopped this year when many were sure that it would be a guaranteed success. but the opposite was the case.
that was because of Bungie and Lego. and the Horizon game wasn't even released for the Xbox...
If From doesn't insist 100% on being allowed to continue developing games for the Xbox (and they won't) then it's over Fromsoftware games for the Xbox.
If only PC gamers would spend so much energy complaining about the fact that on Steam you only buy a license and you basically own nothing..... but hey Sony are the bad guys.
I still hope that Sony will finally stop selling PC games completely because it hurts the PlayStation brand and only helps Valve.
Hermen Hulst is and remains the worst CEO. I'm far from understanding why he's still CEO. well another mega flop like Concord and he will finally be fired.
"If console players don't want to see the size and quality of 1st party games diminish Sony needs the investment from PC so start treating them like they should be treated and everyone wins!"
LMAO guess what's happened to first party games since Sony released their games on PC in this gen. Nobody wins here except Valve!
Sony is literally killing the Playstation brand here. for absolutely zero profits. because oh what a surprise GoWR was already cracked before the real release.
You don't have to tell me that these games are expensive to make, I know that. It is still important to keep your own expectations in check. If SE just doesn't want to understand that a current Final Fantasy won't sell 20 million copies then it's SE's fault and not Sony's!
"This is why they are doing pc ports but people don’t want to see the truth."
that make little to no profit. see the current FFXVI Steam numbers... so much for everyone just waiting for the PC version.
or maybe just maybe you should keep your expectations in check. I haven't heard from Koei or Shift Up that they were disappointed with Rise of the Ronin or Stellar Blade.
The only ones who are disappointed are the saviors of freedom on the Internet. who definitely hate PlayStation anyway.
SE is just as stupid as all the PCMR and Switch idiots that these two platforms solve the problem of everything.

Re: At a Tumultuous Time, Assassin's Creed Shadows Is Doing the Business for Ubisoft
"Whatever your thoughts on Ubisoft, the industry would be worse without it."
Is this a fu**** joke? We're talking about the publisher who said, and I quote: "Get Comfortable' With Not Owning Games"
The publisher that implements the most disgusting and revolting micropayments into a single player game.
the publisher who basically makes the same game over and over again.
But well, I think as long as you can OWN THE CHUDS, you'll ignore these things.
Seriously, the sooner Ubisoft goes bankrupt and this shakes an earthquake in the Western Gaming industry, the better.

It is precisely this massive arrogance to believe that Nintendo has already won why the Switch 2 is more likely to fail.
As with the Wii or the NDS, Nintendo won't be able to convince casuals to get the successor.
That has always been the case and will not change. The dream of you Nintendo fanboys that Nintendo pushes Sony out of the market will remain a dream.
