Fantastic start for Sony's brandnew IP. On it's way to 5 million ww. Congrats to Bend Studio. One of Sony's smallest studios a few years ago and now look at them. I'm glad this game is doing so well.

Did we ever get proof of this supposed zombie fatigue? Like a game, tv show fail etc.
I mean you pretty much said "screw the haters." I find it really difficult to see it in any other light tbh.
I don't believe we did.
I have a feeling it is people who don't like zombies to begin with who are having this "fatigue". I can understand feeling it back when zombies were everywhere in the PS360 era but this generation where there is barely any zombie games? It is not believable.
That's much better than I expected. Congrats to Bend. Good to see them hit the big leagues again.
The game was always going to sell well to fans if exclusive first party quality. The test is if it keeps hold next week, or drops off a cliff
I can see the headlines now, "Days Gone 3, the game The Last of Us 6 could only hope to be."
You interpretation is wrong.
We had not just people on here who were talking about the game not needing to exist because zombies are not interesting and TLOU exists, but even media outlets bringing those up. It wasn't one person talking about themselves but about the industry itself.
Redboxed it and the game is fine. It's really fun to play don't see how some reviewers like gamespot could give it a 5/10.
Yea can't imagine how well it did on digital. I hope this keeps them in business to get another new IP or maybe a return to syphon filter. DAYS GONE feels like a one off unless they are going to expand more on the lore of the freaker infection.
Holy shit that's awesome , the game is actually a good amount of fun, not perfect, but enjoyable
#1 Amazon UK
#1 Amazon Germany
#2 Amazon France
#2 Amazon Spain
#1 Amazon Italy
And it's been that way for a while...
Screw the haters is a harsh term. My post is to imply that Bend studios are on the right track with this IP and they scored big. There will always be obstacles when pursuing a new venture and in this case Bend successfully avoided most of them and that includes the doom preachers who put this game down when it was initially revealed, right up until launch.
Days Gone threads were a common discussion thread that constantly turned to crap because of the above reason.
I don't need to provide examples for you in this case. You can use the search feature.
As i said before, i'd rather root for developers who try something different, even if its their own spin on an existing formula. Never wish failure on things. Never understood the need for such things anyway.
Did GOW even do good in UK? I remember people being disappointed.
People are dumb though. GoW 2018 did really well given that the series wasn't that popular in the UK (or Europe in general) up till that point. It also had fantastic legs.
Anywho, good for Bend. They really needed a success and they've found it.
Yeah, it did. Had really good legs too.
DG should be somewhere in the 90-100K range if you add digital.
The math says 96K with digital included.
96 - 27% + 37% = 96K
If Sony recent digital percentage disclosure holds true.
That 37% comes from worldwide, yeah? I don't think we can apply it to a single country. I just went with 20% to be conservative. Even if you go with that, it pushes it up to that ~85K range.
Open world zombies vs fighting game. Easy decision for many people..
It broke week 1 franchise records, people just expected too much, than it not doing good. Though it had very good legs, was #1 for 5 or 6 weeks straight and had sold over 200k physical by week 4.
The game and setting is fantastic.
Proper played it for first time yesterday. There is potential here. Its not great nor does it suck but i feel that its one or two changes away from being an excellent game. I can see this game in a city setting with co-op and with huge numbers of freakers on screen.
I really wouldn't mind if this becomes Sony's State of Decay because i love that game.
Even with your conservative estimate of 85K Sony Bend should be in really good shape. I'm wondering what the official PR will look like.
Excellent start and the positive word of mouth will continue as more people play, hopefully making a sequel inevitable.
I remember you talking about zombies fatigue tho.
But yeah, a good selling game and a good game as well! Excellent.
As long as it does well enough to keep Bend in good standing it's a success IMO.
It's not only Sony honestly, Odyssey seems to always be on sale on PSN. The rest of the industry is not like Nintendo.
It's a good game. Solid 6/10 game from me. Since I first saw the dev interview from last year I've been rooting for this game to be a success and it seems well on its way to finding some commercial success. I hope this game gets to 2 million sold relatively fast and it grows some legs after that.
I'm expecting performance on par or better than Horizon (2.6M in 2 weeks). I may be overestimating it but I think it is feasible.
Yep, I definitely agree. I think there are pros and cons to both routes but I certainly wouldn't say the non-Nintendo route is inherently bad or anything like that.
Anywhere near that number in the same span of time puts Days Gone in guaranteed sequel territory.
i put off buying MK11 on launch because i'll be waiting the inevitable 'komplete' edition 2 years down the line. I got the MK XL Komplete for like 20 bucks with all the characters so i feel to see why i should buy MK11. Especially with the current towers of time grinding issue, i think i will continue to wait till NRS can resolve that issue before i will even put MK11 on my wishlist. I'm not an online PvP player anyway, settling mostly on vsCPU so i can wait as long as i want.
