Ike★ 2,919 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 It probably sold nearly 100x as many copies in its first week on console. 20m total on just PS4 alone. Here’s proof again, PC will just get scraps that hermits will be begging for plenty of months after console. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goukosan 2,258 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Sony already spelled out this strategy. Get all the premium sales on PlayStation, then PC players get it years later. Rinse and repeat. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TLHBO 2,162 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 To be fair it has been on PS4 for 4 years and PS5 for 2 yeaes, and its releasing on multiple stores on PC. Of course it's going to be drastically lower lol. I wouldn't buy it unless its under £10 and that's precisely because I've already played it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Demon's Souls isn't even there yet either. Enjoy the wait playing Slimepass while PlayStation owners get to experience peak gaming. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tears of the Cows 1,212 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Probably because the game isn’t very good lol. It’s actually very boring, this coming from someone who beat MM (took like 4 hours) and struggled to play the remaster because it’s literally more of the same. swinging is fun for 5 minutes and loses its charm quickly. i also LOVED the amazing Spider-Man game. The problem is… this is the exact same game with better graphics. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not picking it up on Steam either until I can get it for $10. Minor PC upgrades aren’t enough for me to spend $60 on it right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. House 3,371 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 It's an old game and it's pretty expensive. It's almost the price of a full game. Hard sell. Also, not everyone has a top of the line PC, triple AAA productions aren't necessarily what sells the most on PC. Like I bet most people who bought it full price was mostly because they wanted to benchmark their PC and see how far they could push the visuals. Not that it would ever sell as much as on Playstation regardless but day one releases would definitely sell a lot more than this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well I'm not saying concurrent users as a metric is retarded.. I'm saying the thought process behind a 4 year old full priced game being proof that Steam users don't/won't buy Playstation games is retarded. The only thing it's really proof of is that PC gamers wont buy Sony games en masse if they're stupidly overpriced 4 year old games. They priced this one out of a lot of upfront sales on the PC side.. however it should continue to do good numbers as sales come through over time. It's definitely generating more revenue for Sony than God of War did seeing as how it's $10 more lol. I think this is Sony testing the waters of how high they can push prices for these 2+ year old ports. Will be interesting to see what they do with Miles Morales.

This is opposed to never getting those games on PC period, like pretty much every other gen. Easy AAA and AAs. Pretty much a win win.

Twinblade★ 3,933 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 This game was out on torrents immediately when it released, I bet there's a correlation between that and the lower than expected steam numbers. Filthy hermit pirates never change Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmaltese★ 2,588 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Expected it to do a bit better tbh but I guess the game has already sold 20m+ lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,241 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 well..................there's ANOTHER REASON why it only sold 66K on steam. But if the so-called hermits on this forum were to reveal why that is, they would simply be pointing out the other major issue that is going to result in developers treating the PC gaming community as an after-thought.

Is it really surprising people don't want to pay the price tag? Ports cost money. Especially if you are contracting that out to a studio years after original development. I very much would like Sony and Jim Ryan to see how the PC gaming community immediately pirate at the first chance they can get. It doesn't matter if the game were priced at $40 or $30, the same exact thing would've happened. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It didn't only sell 66K on Steam That's concurrent players dumbass... The actual amount of players that bought the game by now is easily over 500K. It's tracking about as well as God of War... which did ~1 million in less than 2 months.. And yea... releasing a 4 year old game for full price IS a good way of getting people to pirate your game. It's more like PC gamers are treating Sony exclusives as an afterthought Edited August 16, 2022 by Remij 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
