The most popular Locoroco game was obviously *checks notes* Cocoreccho?! Oh no. That just shows me what a miss it was to not get the franchise onto console at the time it had any popularity. People clearly were willing to try it out at the time but it wasn't meant to be I guess.
It is good to see Both Soul Sacrifice games and Freedom Wars with better results. Surprisingly, combining both Soul Sacrifice games sales, would makes them the best selling franchise on PS Vita with over $8,779,586 digitally sold. And, yet, Sony still not given us a PS5 remake of Soul Sacrifice Delta, especially with the rise of soulbornes games with Elden Ring.
It was maybe right at the start but currently nobody buys a PS5 to play Spider-man, they'd just upgrade their CPU if necessary.
Cocoreccho was digital-only so this includes all the sales whereas 1 & 2 were physical and digital. I don't even think they were available digitally at launch.
Nah; Demon's Souls still has a unique place in From's pantheon. It's just not valued as much because From's latest games are far more heavily inclined towards what gamers want (that being, fast-paced roll-focused action gameplay), whereas Demon's Souls is focused on slow and methodical adventuring. See how bosses are treated. Most of the fanbase see DeS's as nothing more than 'gimmick shit' when, in reality, they represent a far greater variety in gameplay and problem solving than any boss lineup that came after. With bosses nowadays almost always boiling down to dodging fifty-hit combo strings with no real way to outsmart them beyond using that game's designated OP strategy.
That and the OG game had a very intentional art-style, one that the remake threw away in favour of pure graphical fidelity. To call it "ugly," honestly does such a disservice to the art-style they were going for. It may not be to your tastes, but that's not the same as it not having artistic value.
Seems weird Socom Confrontation made 4 million (was like $30)
but a "massive" game like Killzone 3 only did 600k?

Fair, I was just having some fun with seeing that haha. If they had got a digital copy of 1&2 on PS3 though it might've done some good for the franchise, considering somehow 300,000 downloaded Cocoreccho o_o My favorite one was Midnight Carnival which was digital only and the least popular one, but that's not a surprise especially as digital only for the PSP meant it was just kind of an invisible release at the time ha. Interesting to see how the franchise was more popular in Europe, I recall at the time seeing lots of advertising for it in England and felt like it was getting a good push.
This eases my concern! I have heard mixed things about On the Loose but haven't tried it yet.
Edit: Now that you mention it I definitely had to buy the physical PS1 disc to play in on my PS3. It's making more sense now.
The MediEvil remake at #69, with $8.4 million. That has to be way better than what people thought. It certainly did a hell of a lot better than Knack and Sly 4 lol.
I'm now starting to think there could be a possible truth to the MediEvil 2 remake rumor.
Edit: Though probably not lol

A lot of "100 mil plus" revenue releases.
Doesn't give away the whole picture, it is only PSN sales and other leaked data showed that the digital-physical split is pretty random from 30-80%.
The sales split chart in combination with this might give a good picture...

You'd think a Last of Us would make a flash million in any space at this point but the fact the Part 1 remake didn't reach that high yet is...interesting.
When you consider it's 800k people who bought in at basically full RRP (average price based on revenue would be ~$65), it's not done too badly.... but also not surprising it hadn't sold more given it's the second re-release of the original game and it comes with a $70 price tag.
Not really, because Spider-Man is about more than just the game and revenue. The IP sells consoles (especially to younger audiences). I don't think that DS led to many people wanting to buy a PS5.
70 pretty much just made it an instant wait for PS+ as the Remaster was still good enough for any "I wanna play TLoU" feelings following the show (I ended up just replaying Part 2 instead). Probably would have been an impulse buy at 40 and instant if it had something like an upgrade path.
You'd think people posting about the licensing cost being unsustainable, also ask why Sony is signing up for even more marvel games.
And with DriveClub... it was only on market for sale for 5 years. 2014-2019
Imo, it would have continued to sell... especially a new bump if it were given PS5 aware patch (unlocking the framerate to 60fps) for the launch of the PS5 in 2020.

But as per leaked "Insomniac ROI Chart", expected lifetime total revenue for Miles Morales is $260M and for Rift apart is $73M, but if corresponding PSN digital sales itself are $231M and $66M, then the numbers from ROI Chart are too far below from actual physical+digital sale revenue.
Sony don't own Spider-man. At some point what happened to MLB coud happen to Spider-man. They'd better focus on the IPs they actually own like Bloodborne and Demon's Souls.
Or they could just do both.
They have Spidey locked up through at least one more game (and a spinoff) and they have X-Men locked up for a possible 2+ games after Wolverine.
That's like 15 years in normal dev time and even at Insomniac's speed that's about another 6-10 years, minimum.
Disney and Sony also have extra incentive to play ball together for the foreseeable future on multiple business fronts, so I don't see the point in not releasing the Marvel games that make oodles of money.
GT Sport and Gran Turismo 7 pulling in numbers Forza Motorsport could only dream of.
I don't think any Forza Motorsport title cracked 2 million though I could be wrong.
Forza Horizon 3, 4, 5 certainly did though, even without Game Pass they make bank, and regularly top the Steam charts for driving games.

The whole rebranding GT did to the esports focus was just like perfectly timed, really rejuvenated the I.P. Think if they can get GT7 on PC it'll do incredibly well as something not as extreme as the iRacing, but still very competitive focused.
GT Sport was divisive but I felt it was the best and most important game in the series.
It earnestly tried to teach people about motorsport and why the pursuit of excellence is a noble one (and provide the tools to learn), whereas most other games are like "here's a bunch of cars and tracks, go vroom them".
It is the direct reason why I produced about 30+ official tutorials videos for F1 2020.
I feel like I'm being a bit mean to Turn 10 saying this, since they are turning the game around now, but the contrast between GT's numbers in the OP and this:

definitely makes FM8 feel like a missed opportunity, since the audience is definitely there.
Yeah Forza Motorsport was never on the same level sales wise as GT.
Yes, but God of War 3 to God of War/Ragnarok the growth is insane compared to The Last of Us to Part II

Yes? The chart above is a sales forecast dated pre Rift Apart launch.
It's sad because Forza Motorsport genuinely has some good moments (I race with my club every Monday, it's great for that) but the launch was so rough from a technical and design perspective.
Forza Motorsport's greatest problem is that Forza Horizon exists and hoovers up the entire casual audience on Xbox (on top of the fact that Forza Motorsport has none of the meme potential of Horizon in terms of oddball cars). The competitive audience that would like the game also have comparable experiences, such as DiRT, F1, Assetto and WRC, not to mention the fact that Forza Motorsport lacks several features that competitive players specifically want (like multiplayer spectating, rolling starts, tyre wear modifiers, manual grid ordering, "pitwall UDP" and more).
It doesn't seem to be a forecast, rather To Date sales data but probably outdated. As of June 2023, MM seems to have total sales of $554M, so physical sales revenue is around the same as digital store
Thematically, Soul Sacrifice might fit with soulsborne games but mechanically it's much closer to Monster Hunter. Though of course Monster Hunter is also incredibly popular these days.
Wouldn't call it mechanically close to either MH or Souls. It's more or less an arena brawler where you fight bosses over and over. There is very little "hunt" or exploration going on in Soul Sacrifice. Combat isn't similar to either game either and pretty unique.
I was more not into the contents Part I offers as it's severely lacking, in my humble opinion; and this 'remake' didn't even make the PS4 remaster obsolete completely.
For all the great graphical/technical/accessibility options, I personally honestly don't need any of those, especially not at $70.
What I need from a
I don't know how dependant their remake/remaster to previously ambitious standalone multiplayer, until that multiplayer project was cancelled, but new mode like No Return was more innovative than the entirety of Part I contents, despite not the most original.
It's ironic we had to wait till 10+ years just to have their own Mercenary/horde mode, let alone new creative skins/costumes that's not realistic grounded, when Part I PS5 could/should do this way back...
But it's not. 🙄🤷
I refuse to buy/support it $70 at launch & probably never, because it's pointless when I could watch the game on YouTube at 4K 60fps instead.
Nothing value was lost whatsoever to me.
