I told people these corporations lie and manipulate information to make games look better and people said I was crazy. This game was supposed to be a genuine smash hit and it isn’t.

This has been Sonys Strategy this whole gen. Milk the hardcore fans who will buy anything with the their logo on it. I guarantee there’s heavy overlap between people who bought this, paid $70 for last of us remake and will buy a PS5 Pro day 1.

Need more characters and a new ranking system

Why change from green

PlayStation in this day and age is nothing but a timed exclusive box. Literally get a handful of games that will be on pc in no time.

Of course they will say that. Why would any publisher spread bad news about a game after a month? Remember when Microsoft considered halo infinite a success on launch?

How about the longevity?

Nothing but a marketing gimmicks every time they claim something is “only possible on PS5”.

Game will struggle in the long term, probably won’t even reach 10 million.

@fromjtov This game is literally on the psn store now and easily accessible. This isn’t some niche ps1 title that nobody played and costs hundreds of dollars used.

The main people who will buy this are super hardcore fans just like part 1 and not even newcomers.

@Orpheus79V official reviews are just as bad. many of them are borderline bribery. They don’t want to damage their relationships and they get free perks and flown out to events as compensation.

Won’t be surprised if they charge $70 for this game again. Sony is all about milking the same batch of hardcore fans over and over these days.

@JAMes-BroWWWn lol it just came out like a couple weeks ago,it’s not going to fall off the charts immediately.

@straw-hat-crew this doesn’t deserve full price when they have not even redone the female route.

@Diowine @naruball What should I praise Sony for? They have literally released nothing this year. Spider-Man 2 is coming and that’s it. Where are the games? Where is the variety? Easily the worst year of PS5 first party thus far and nobody wants to speak up, they just accept mediocrity.

PS3 was starting to swim in first party exclusives after 3 years. Games like Killzone 2,Infamous,and Uncharted 2 were coming out.

@naruball barely. I pop in once in a while to see if Sony’s first party has announced anything interesting and unexpected but they never pull though. Night and day from what Nintendo is doing nowadays.

People overrate how popular Final Fantasy is. FF7 remake still hasn’t sold 10 million yet with insane hype off a classic game.

@Triumph741 A good chunk of the people who watched wrestling during the attitude era were not actually wrestling fans. They watched because it was trendy and once the trend ended, they left. (UFC became the new trend)

Remember how limp bizkit was the most popular band in the world at one point? Basically the same thing. people got off the bandwagon.

@Triumph741 ratings have declined but they have fluctuated and not gone straight down. They rose again in 2005-6, then started to decline again slowly in 2007.

More people stopped watching from 2000-2 then the rest of the entire decade combined. 2006 was their best rated year since 2002.

Will it keep selling and not fall off a cliff like FF7 Remake which couldn’t reach 10 million though?

@Zisssou the sales will show how much this isn’t actually true. Most 20 somethings never even played no mercy, they grew up on the PS2 games.

@Triumph741 WWE literally makes record profits,more money than back then.

Also 2006 had higher ratings than 2003-2005.

Gamepass then.

So much for the people coping saying sony held back for this event lol

@truerbluer Console gamers love being ripped off and exploited. Perfect example is the people defending the $70 price like Sony needs that money when they are making record profits,tv shows,pc ports,ps plus,etc

These corporations look at console players as piggybanks willing to buy anything and everything.

@ChrisDeku there were countless factors to those things, you can’t just look at sales and ignore everything else.

-The SNES competed with the genesis
N64 Competed with PS1
-3DS was expensive and had a mid gimmick(3D has never caught on)

• Wii U came out at a bad time and had a bad gimmick

If Nintendo makes a Switch 2 that is at least decent power wise it’s going to be a smash hit instantly. Especially if it can play games like Call of Duty and the likes.

@Neverwild good thing Sony releases like 2-3 games a year max which makes it easy to wait.

@ChrisDeku Switch had a slow start at first. Then it was regularly beating PS4 at npd later on. It’s going to be worse this time because the switch was already a success coming off a high instead of low.

So Demon Souls is the only good PS5 exclusive game now lol. If you didn’t have a PS5 you really missed nothing tbh.

Magic SSD was probably nonsense also

@Jamesblob I’m mentioning Nintendo because if you actually paid attention last time, once they released the Switch that started to eat into the PS4’s sales. And I expect it to happen again to PS5 with the next Nintendo device.

@Jamesblob LOL the Wii U was literally the worst selling console Nintendo made besides the virtual boy.

And yet the switch outsold PS4 despite a 4 year headstart…which is actually wild, and it still trades blows with PS5. Facts hurt I guess.

@naruball PS5 is selling pretty much entirely off the back of PS4 and Hype.

@AverageGamer
The original switch already cut into the PS4’s sales,so this is false

@Lexluther23 Rained? Lol cross gen games CARRIED this generation. Last real ps5 exclusive and not an upscaled PS4 game was ratchet.

Whenever Nintendo releases their next device that will cut into their sales again like the switch did.

The games aren’t selling much in general. Anything new charts

@TheArt All of them are overrated.

Gameplay looked mid and samey with little evolution honestly. And I platinumed the other two,miles to be was way more impressive

Jim Ryan could have crapped on stage and some people would say it’s good

Spider-Man looked a gen behind that matrix demo and inferior to cross gen forbidden west.

@SurgicalMenace Your undying loyalty to a billion dollar corporation is exactly why we got a show of this quality.

@TJ81 You spend hundreds of dollars on a new console to play your backlog? Why even bother to buy a new console then?

Ratchet to me was more impressive than this.

Such a bad show. Almost all these games are multiplats, they showed games people already saw and they barely showed anything AAA first party. For a 2 year wait? I had low expectations compared to the people expecting 10 AAA games too.

This is why I don’t trust what these corporations say…they manipulate things to go in line with what they want.

This is BS. Of course people will buy big established games, but nobody is buying these smaller titles for $70 other than whales.

@Andy22385 I expected way more actual exclusives that what we have gotten. The last game I actually needed a PS5 to play was ratchet, almost 2 years ago.

Sony wants people to double dip on virtually everything.

Need to see more.

@Grimwood gameplay could be shown
