madmaltese★ 2,700 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Like you said Nintendo proves them wrong and so does Sony 1p games. Games like Spiderman, Horizon, GoW, etc sell more than most AAA 3rd party SP games. Only the major major hits sell more (Hogwarts, AC in prime, etc) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spiderman 2 sold 11 million right? Hardly, it probably sold half of that if not less due to being bundled at the $500 MSRP with the console. They're making virtually nothing on their games, they're actually all probably losers, but their only draw is getting people into the ecosystem to spend on third party purchasing.

Even so the budget wouldn't approach that of a Sony AAA game, not to mention Nintendo's sales are astronomically higher and are almost entirely customer purchased sell through of an actual game purchase. Sony counts this as a game sale, it's horribly disingenuous. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cell 486 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 (edited) Lol, these clowns have a history of being bankrolled by Microsoft. In fairness the news of that was at the start of the PS4 era but still. Here they are promoting a narrative that only MS is truly pursuing while both competitors make big budget exclusive AAA games. Aza makes more sense than Polygon and he's mentally retarded.

It said spiderman barely made Sony any money. Also , spiderman , Horizon and gow games go to pc. Idiot. Nintonto is the only one that can manage this.

Nintendo's budget is a fraction of what these devs usually spend, considering a good chunk of their games are technically outdated. Nintendo is a solid AA developer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Casual 746 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 You can if you make good ones. The problem is only Nintendo is really doing that in the exclusive space. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Botws budget was apparently around 120 million. They only needed to sell two million copies to break even of course, now it’s over 30 million. Generated almost 2 billion alone.
