Sold 5 million in the first 11 days so it’s likely already surpassed that.
The OP article also mentions that they are expecting to sell 11.6 million in the first year. They’re gonna be fine
If they burned through 5 million in 11 days they should be WELL past that by now I’d think…
Golly I’m glad they took such a big risk for us undeserving gamers
Or they could sell 14.4 million at half price, since the actual product can be copied and downloaded as many times as needed.
It’s a fantastic game that improved on the first games in nearly every way. They’ll hit it and easily surpass it, especially as more people get their PS5’s.
They know these games sell systems. This and another recent headline about PS+ titles being Sony exclusives costing the company amount or whatever…
They know a huge part of why these projects are worth the cost is outside of sales of that game and as a mechanism to maintain market dominance.
(Edit: a word)There’s a bunch of recent spiderman games out. Remastered 1, Miles Morales, and 2? Is there any point to buying one over the other?
Start with 1 (remastered or not, changes are cosmetic and negligible). If you like it, miles morales is short and necessary story wise to play 2. They all play and feel pretty similar so if you don’t like 1 don’t bother with the next 2
they are serial for their story. But I played MM first.
Then there was probably another 50 mill or so put into the marketing and advertisement on top of that
It’s possible that that 300 million budget is already accounting for all the marketing expenses. Skyrim’s budget was 100 million, of which ~15m was marketing.
Don’t also doesn’t care if this particular game does but so well. It will sell systems and lock people into the ecosystem.
No, it doesn’t need that many. I read that it will have micro-transactions.
Why are you referring to it in future tense? The game came out in October.
