What has the first complain about Gravity Rush? No marketing!

That is the reason, if the invest enough on the marketing they can sell the game.

EDIT: Days Gone is a perfect example of that.
Days Gone sold / is selling great because it's a great game :)
Just imagine a f2p The Last of Us game with Factions, PvE, PvPvE and Battle Royale

Zero chance in hell that it will be a F2P game imo. But let's see ;)

Sons of Anarchy X Zombies had some pretty obvious mass appeal to anyone who doesn't eat/sleep/breathe ResetEra.

Soo is Gravity Rush, but obvious is Sony choise to market the games that they think will sell the most.

And it seems to me that marketing a mp game from Naughty Dog will sell milions of copies.
Even with Days Gone's marketing budget Gravity Rush would still bomb in the west. You can't "sell everything to this community". It is what it is.

Well said.

True, we will never get one for Bloodborne :(
Pretty sure we will get another Sony AAA IP from From Software. And Bloodborne 2 just makes too much sense.
As much as I love the characters, I think it's also a sign of the times that games like that don't really do well on PlayStation anymore. I'm curious, did Ratcher & Clank sell well on PS4?
Yes.

If a Bloodborne sequel ever happens, I think it might be the first time I'd actually cry over a video game announcement lmao. It's my favorite game of all time, platinumed it twice, and I'd even buy a remaster of it. If Sony doesn't give us a sequel then they must really not like money, because that's a huge guaranteed system seller right there.

I believe It was their best selling game, until Spider-Man.

Yes.
Good to know.

That's why Sony hinted at a new Ratchet & Clank game after the Insomniac acquisition announcement. Pretty sure we will get a Ratchet & Clank game at/around the PS5 launch.

ND's approach actually makes me excited in both SP and MP even more. I didn't touch MP in TLOU (shame, I know) so an ambitious SP with a fully realised MP some time after seems like the best of both worlds.

Different situation imo.
Detroit was a full exclusive, that Sony decided to port later on on PC. They still own the IP/publishing rights.

Death stranding is certainly a 12 month exclusive, thats why no "Only on Playstation" logo on the box .
Death Stranding is a Sony Interactive Entertainment license and so belongs to them, if it comes out on PC, the same as Detroit, that will have been their decision.

So far Sony is working on three MP projects that we know of

Predator, Guerilla Games MP and now a seperate MP game by ND.

Not bad not bad.

Yeah, if I had to guess what the new team in San Diego is doing, I'd guess it has something to do with this MP experience alongside Naughty Dog

I know Sony says that they don't force developers to do sequels or certain games, but I've always wondered. Is it just that insomniac really likes Ratchet and Clank, or is it just the most successful Sony platformer, that we have gotten so many titles in the franchise? Just wondering why Jak is essentially forgotten in comparison.

After U2, ND split into two teams. Uncharted 3 team and Jak & Daxter team helmed by Neil & Bruce. It didn't come together for some reason so they went with Neil's crazy zombie game instead,
