Yeah, but Days Gone also launched this year so I don't think the split will be that differently compared to Death Stranding. They're also both the same types of games as in single player onlt open world games.
Why would two games, both first party, both marketed for years have vastly different digital splits?
People were disappointed in Spidey's opening ?
That game had a monstruous opening, like around 190k iirc.

They should be happy they just released their most innovative game in a while that's taken up so much mindshare
Let's not pretend Death Stranding wasn't one of the biggest gaming phenomenons of the year.
No?
Spider-Man was like unquestionably good. The other were too really.
This is just like a step down from all those games (and several steps in the case of SM), and it's interesting to discuss why.
Death stranding sales are underwhelming especially after all the hype. There was video of a huge line in London that was always passed around as a sign of future sales.

Umm no people where down on both Days Gone and God Of war. He is not talking about the sales being bad but people reactions. Its funny how Days Gone is all of a sudden put on a pedestal now.
This post will not age well in few days when they reveal the world wide sold figure ;)
I'm having some mixed emotions about this thread, lol.
Good news regardless. Had, having a blast with both games.
For a walking simulator that got a 6.8 from IGN, it did pretty well.
And I don't think exact numbers are known?
100k most definitely wasn't a lock when God of War did 80-90k. It was never going to outsell God of War, but I thought it might hit around 60-70k.
That was definitely a thing that happened sure. I think GoW was because the sales were not as good straight away as they were in the US, since GoW has traditionally not been all that popular here which is something Sony admitted IIRC. Can't really explain the DG reaction though rationally since the numbers were decent.
is this real? also ds didn't break 50k? That's bad for a Sonytentpole in November. It's pretty much flopped?
i predicted 100k in the other thread. I really overestimated the Norman Reedus Sony marketing.
fucking LOL
If you say so? I'm not like anti-Kojima/DS or anything but from the outside looking in the game has like zero mainstream appeal. Compared to zombies? Cmon lol I'm not even trying to downplay the game, just that it makes perfect sense to see a game like Days Gone over DS.
Doesn't tent pole franchise refer to a, you know, franchise? This is not a tent pole franchise ,at least for now .WW numbers will be soon revealed so I wouldn't worry about UK physical imo
Nah DS sold more than LM3 based on the article- 2nd biggest exclusive of the year behind only DG. It was close though, and yeah using percentages drop from DG it was less than 50k.
This. Sony isn't dumb, I would be surprised if they thought DS is gonna sell 10M+ like their other big sucesses this gen. Mind you not like Days Gone is there, but Days Gone certainly captured the mainstream more from what I could tell.
(watch me eat my words if does sell 10M WW lol, loving the game btw)
These don't seem like great numbers, Sony bent backwards for Kojima and it will be interesting to see if the return is worth it. I can't see this game having cost less than Days Gone to develop, Kojima got actors that must have cost a pretty penny and used a lot of resources like GG and what not.
I'm playing the game and I think it is just terrible, I'm sure people enjoy it but I don't see the game having the appeal of something like Days Gone so legs will probably be a pretty big issue. Something like Days Gone was unpolished and had some bizarre design decisions but overall was fun to play, Death Stranding is gorgeous, polished but a chore to play. I'm more curious about if Sony will bother with Kojima again, I somehow doubt it.

Huh, I'd have thought Death Stranding would've opened higher nearly everywhere. It seemed like it had more hype to me
Oh they will. They have a close relationship, he's a beloved and proven director, his games will no doubt diversify their lineup, and this game will still well by the end, even if it doesn't come close to Sony's biggest games
yup, the overreactions never fail to happen. Even after the numbers have been misleading a looot of times
To people saying it's surprising that Days Gone was bigger... seriously? Stop living in the Bubble of Gaming Online Community :P
Of course Days Gone is bigger. It has much better mainstream / casual audience appeal, cause it's a traditional shooter with zombies. People still like The Walking Dead.
