P. S. I bought the UK Collectors edition today with the BB Pod and I keep getting an error message with the set of avatars and Timefall OST that you're supposed to get, I don't know if it's a widespread issue but 2 of my mates who also got the same edition are having the problem too.
Wouldn't really be of note if they did, as it stand Ninja Theory, Playground and Obsidian are the gem's in the rough that is MS studios and this wouldn't really change much to that situation.
Again, stores aren't really getting copies of Genie, only like 1 or 2 will come in a week and those copies will sell, it's definitely treated as a downloadable title first and foremost by Sony.
The shop that I work at (massive gaming retailer) only got in Preorders +1 copy of the game so it's not surprising that it didn't land high in the charts.
How can they F this up, not like the game is doing anything new for the series/industry in general and heck it barely looks any better than the previous games?
It really annoys me when people ridicule creators marketing their product as much as possible to attract as many people as possible to buy it.
Just because you guys don't have the self-control to avoid seeing more than you want to doesn't mean Kojima should stop giving insight into DS, alot of people (not me) still aren't sure what to think of DS and need convincing to pick it up (or straight up ridiculing what had been shown as the Internet would do).
Kojima is a legend of the industry but even that doesn't guarantee anything when it comes to actual success of the product, MGSV's sales were barely a footnote compared to other heavy hitters let alone even scraping to touch the success of games like Fortnite, Fifa and Cod and that was his established series on multiple platforms whereas this is an entirely new IP that more than likely will be instantly ignored by the casual crowd releasing on just ONE platform (for now atleast), so for once how about laying off on the usual fear mongering.

Re: Soapbox: Cyberpunk 2077 Could Become a Victim of Its Own Immense Hype

Re: Bluepoint Games Tackles PS5 Speculation with Top Trolling
One could also look at the first 2 words as a hint of a frequently requested Sony shooter series. π
Re: Bluepoint Games Tackles PS5 Speculation with Top Trolling
@Deadlyblack this is something I wish Sony took notes from Nintendo, collaborating with devs to incorporate their IP into other games.
Re: Bluepoint Games Tackles PS5 Speculation with Top Trolling
It's worth noting that Bluepoint rarely tweets anything.
Also some could be vague but I think there's more references including;
Jak & Daxter ("Eco"-friendly)
Ico (Black Monsters)
Shadow of the Colossus ("Wander", return from "shadow")
Silent "Hills"
Re: Random: This Fan-Made Uncharted Trailer Reimagines It as a Cheesy Summer Movie

Re: Death Stranding Gets a Fresh Japanese Trailer with Glimpses of New Footage
Worth noting that PlayStation made this trailer themselves and the Launch Trailer that Kojima is working on will be released later.
Re: The Outer Worlds Is Enhanced on PS4 Pro After All
So they say, who's to say they're telling the truth.
Re: When Does the Death Stranding Review Embargo Lift?

@b1ackjack people can play together in Bloodborne, that's why.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Behind the Scenes Video Gives Insight into One of 2019's Best Trailers

I fricking love Keanu but to say that's one of the best trailers this year is laughable.
