I think you guys are taking Shus jokes a little too serious. One phone call from him and he gets access.
He just wanted to promote the price reduction and new games via Twitter.

You never know.. I am not sure it will happen but stranger things have happened.


I'm calling BS on this prediction. DS is a new IP, on a single platform, and has divisive game mechanics and story. I'm sure preorders are solid due to Kojima's fans, but overall this game won't be as mainstream as MGS V.

The game is putting insane metrics with every trailer, and looking at the ratio of likes:dislikes it doesn't look to be as divisive as you'd looking here or under every tweet about the game. If days managed to do around 4 million so far, Death Stranding is doing a lot bigger than that.

I think concrete genie could join PSnow after Gow and the others leave. Not sure if i would like the game, but damn it is pretty and tempting.
Not but due to backlog but i may sub so psnow a few months to play SotC or maybe TLG

I agree, but MGS V didn't sell really well, so I can see Death Stranding doing better than it.

Death Stranding won't sell as well as Uncharted 4, God of War, Horizon : Zero Dawn or Marvel's Spider-Man, it probably won't cross the 10M line, but it can do between 5M and 10M.

Didn't TPP sell over six million in 2015 alone?

I honestly think it's less him wanting a free ride (Shu with PSNOW) and more him wanting to experience it at a consumer level. I mean that's the only way to really guage products like this without being biased.

Where did you hear this? MGS V has sold at least 10 million copies; it had already shipped 6 million units by the start of 2016, three months after release.

I would pay no attention to the controversies on forums. People buy these games, just like they go and see certain movies, no matter what's the discussion around them. Death Stranding is poised to do the same, as long as the game is received with similar fanfare to every KP game before.

None of those games are available on PS Now (though you can play the original SOTC remaster via its PS3 version, just like ICO). Both are on sale right now, by the way.

Yes, but it didn't have great legs. In the UK, it wasn't in the 50 best selling games of 2016. On Steam, it was in the top 100 for 2016 (at the lowest tier) then disappeared and never reappeared in this ranking.

Metal Gear Solid V was probably profitable, but it probably didn't offer a significant return on investment for Konami.

I read it there. A french article behind a paywall, but it explained that the majority of sales of this game has been done during the first month (70% of its sales during its first month in the US, 60% of its sales in first week in France) and that 6M isn't a lot for a game which cost more than 70M to make.

I think it will be the same for Death Stranding: a great start, even better than Metal Gear Solid V, but I doubt the game will have great legs.

They should delay Concrete Genie and bump it up to AAA quality.

Concrete Genie already looks AAA just from its presentation...not sure what else they could do bar add HDR, but I think they said that's coming soon anyway.

They could even add it in Nov :P

But I will wait to see what is the exact strategy about that « marquee selection »
Will they add their first party games ? Or was it just for that first month to attract people ?

Will they add recent AAA third party games like CTR or Control or a bit older like RE2 Remake / KH3 ?

Anyone here thinks Blue Point games are working on another Sony IP remake? They have been silent since saying they were working on their biggest project to date.

Wait, Concrete Genie won't get HDR? This game looks like built with that tech in mind.

Dude... God of War sold 10 million in 1 year.

In what universe would TLOU2 sold less than that considering it is currently Sony's biggest IP? 8 million is a ridiculous prediction. TLOU1 did that back in 2013 on freaking PS3.

Hell, a new IP like Horizon almost reached 8 million in 1 year (7.6 mi).
Where did I even say TLOU2 would sell 8M? I said it'll go past that easily.
Seriously, read what you're replying to.

I don't know really... Just look at the YouTube views, the whole Kojima being fired and Sony adopting him marketing has been really powerful but I'm not sure about actual sales
