I'd imagine Microsoft gave them a sweetheart deal because Microsoft must have known that their Series X|S launch window / first year was nothing short of awful.
Sony have also paid for deals with indies to flesh out their launch but at the same time also have a great first year (on paper) planned.
Game looks pretty good from what I've seen. January actually seems to be a good time to release games. Both this and Hitman 3 have stood out during what would normally be a gaming drought.
I have this loaded on my Series X and just haven't had the time to play it. I plan on correcting that today. Congrats to the team.
Releasing trailers counts as "marketing".
An ad for this game is going to cost more than the game itself lol
you werent looking hard enough then
medium was in front of everything microsoft for the past year
As I said in the OT, I did not have a good time with this game, but I'm very glad it's been a success. I want to see more and better horror games by Bloober.
Resident Evil 7 also launched in January (2017), and did extremely well. I don't understand why publishers don't take more advantage of the Jan - Feb window. You'd most likely have those months to yourself for more exposure.
I'm happy for them and i'm enjoying it on my Series X right now.
Even in a positive thread there seems to be a need to for war...

Not enjoying this game much at all despite its excellent music. MC and dialogue and voice mixing get on my last nerve. It's almost self parody in the "telling you what to do through seemingly natural internal monologue," but that's not the only reason. Maybe when monster Troy shows up it'll become more fun.
Anyway I'm glad to have been able to try it with Gamepass, and that a service like Gamepass hasn't affected their income.

I would assume "sales" means all revenue generated by the game.
Creating trailers (like the live-action one they did), going at events (yeah I know), paying for a social media manager and so on still counts as marketing costs.
Yep, didn't think about showcase events, but you're right. I was thinking more recently.
Good points, the live-action trailer was really well done.
Hopefully they can cover costs for the barrage of patches necessary to run with good performance on pc...

so I suppose a bit less than 200k copies?
Their launch lineup was much weaker without Halo Infinite. This was announced for Game Pass well before they knew Halo would be delayed. Sony also bolstered their line up with 3rd party exclusives, it has nothing to do with being worried they would have an "awful" launch.
