[UK] - Ghost of Yotei’s physical sales really good. Beat 2nd week of EA Sports FC 26. Sold 3x as much as Mario Gakaxy 1+2 on Switch
- Thread starter Tiago Rodrigues
- Start date

It is selling well on the PS charts at the moment, that is not up for debate, but we have no idea how that translates to wider or even long term sales. Or how it compares to GoT even. Selling well on PS charts and being unsure of total sales can both simultaneously be true.
And Yotei managed to top charts with FC26 releasing not even a week before it. It is still topping the charts in lots of regions, even with the recent release of BF6. Unless you wish to argue that BF6 and FC26 are both not significant releases.
What's woke in this game? I'm 60 hours in.
Tell us you hate women without telling us hate women. Go touch grass.

People nowadays talk about hate, but what does it really mean? Some conflate disliking something with hating. For me hating means an intense disliking bordering on anger just by thinking about it.
Is it just a matter of the definition in English meaning that hate is the same as disliking something?

I'm asking the same question.
Whether this game sells 1 million or 10 million, "woke" isn't a factor.

I disagree, for the reasons I stated above. A chart position does not tell us something is selling 'well', unless we know how well something below it is selling at that time.
FC26 was a significant release, when it released. It will be very significantly easier to outperform in its week 2 than in its week 1.
Yotei week 2 beating BF6 week 1 could be significant for sure, unless it's by virtue of BF just not being relevant in that region. It would be pretty remarkable for that to happen anywhere BF is strong.

If i like Stellar Blade and Nier, but dont like Yotei, i hate women or a like them ? I m confus now cause It seens that or you love them all or you hate them all.
Also i think there is some elements of wokeness ( i m playing the game btw ) but that does not make the game bad, actually the game is kind good even If i prefer Tsushima, but i ll not talk about the woke elements since last time i did, i got thread banned.

Sony doesn't really reveal numbers anymore( outside of investors call). E en when Ragnarok was breaking records, followed by spidey and helldivers 2. Even for helldivers the only time Sony themselves talked about sales numbers was during a investor's call( although arrowhead themselves did talk about numbers on 2 occasions).
That's how the pendulum swings. Woke becomes too much, so normies start resisting and anti-woke take over. Anti-wokes become too much, normies start resisting and wokes take over.

That's why I mentioned Elden Ring and Breath of the Wild. Neither titles were released in the same week as the Horizon games, but people said Horizon was competing against them.
Major titles are going to be at the top of the list during the first week of the game's release, so this is not a surprise.
Here's what the rankings tell us on both the PlayStation Store and Amazon.
Amazon showed 20k+ sold in the past month on release day, and that jumped to 30k 4 days later.
Battlefield is #1 on the PlayStation store, but on Amazon, it's still behind Ghost of Yotei, and it shows 4k+ bought in the past month. This points to a bigger launch for Ghost of Yotei in the US during the first week of the game's release.

What are you talking about? Sony made multiple announcements about both Spiderman and God of war, Spiderman we got numbers on day 3 and 5, gow on day 14, helldivers 2 launched on pc as well so "playstation" not making an announcement isn't surprising and outside of that sony hasn't had any huge games since Spiderman 2
If Sony doesn't announce anything goy related by 2 weeks to 3 it is likely meaningfully below got (I could see them waiting for 3 million), granted that doesn't mean it flopped, but no business wants to say a sequel performed below an earlier entry

Don't know if it's true but I read it wasn't that expensive to produce compared to other "AAA" games.

Woke, not woke, doesn't matter. The only thing that does matter is that bitch is Pocahontas ugly and John Smith must have had beer googles on the whole time.
Could have used one of the fine women that walk up to Castle Iwakuni in high heels up dirt paths and an awesome old lady sweeping at the top on the grounds with a wicker broom.
Nah, we will use the ugly prostitute, not the green eyed ladies that Jack Burton was after in Bug Trouble. I don't want to live in a world where money is exchanged for ugly women. I'm out.

I agree, if they are only competing against not-new releases. Or at least it takes a lot to overcome it.
Amazon is telling me BF6 on PS5 sold 2.5x more in the UK than in the US in the past month, so I'm somewhat skeptical about how they are arriving at these numbers.

It has nothing to do with the open world genre. Both games had other issues.
"Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater shipments and digital sales top one million" - do they count "shipments" as sales?
Same. If they want to discuss it, they should start a separate thread.
on point 2 agree 100% I love life is strange it's a very woke game but I love it.
on point 1 not liking the look of one female character doesn't mean I hate women that is very reset era type rage bait.

The announcement in Japanese seems to translate to shipments.

Yeah, the news sites mostly posted "shipments", but according to konami.com it is "units sold".

Of course the warrior not going to respond, what a clown.
Tsushima got a sales announcement in the past.
It seems Yotei is performing worse than Tsushima, so it's understandable they didn't release any sales PR even after nearing 2 weeks on the market.
Sony 1st-party titles have selling lackluster recently
Astro-bot - 1.5m
Death Stranding 2 - Both Sony and Kojima refused to give us any sales numbers for it. A certified flop.
Ghost Of Yotei - An underwhelming result in comparison to Tsushima, definitely selling more than DS2 but nowhere near Tsushima.

You guys literally fell for the fake Chinese 2 million propaganda, which was debunked before you even knew about it. Literally no one has debunked these numbers and multiple pro PlayStation sites are reporting them. Besides I said "seemingly" which is a damn sight better than the blatantly false shit you all were dying to rub in peoples faces knowing full well it was nonsense.
You looked up what guy? I didn't get info from a "guy" I got it from a company that even PlayStation fan sites are reporting. If you are taking about Endymon or whatever, this is a completely different number and he claims his numbers are from a source so I never quoted him at all.
Hey, feel free to show anything about this game selling well. Weren't we supposed to "know more" Friday? Well it's almost Sunday and Sony and company haven't said a single word about this game. Why?
P.S. Tron:Ares is highest grossing movie in the world this week. According to GoY slurpers that makes it a success, right? It couldn't possibly just be the fact that it released against literally nothing else and can be both the highest grossing film and a failure at the same time, right?

Not sure about that, but how expensive it is to make isn't what makes something DLC. I'm playing it and it is a full-fledge stand alone open world game.

You posted multiple times in the 2 million sales fake bullshit thread without ever once question if it was real or not. Stfu, you literally have no leg to stand on. Post back when these numbers are disproven.

The number 2 million real or not doesn't matter, it's not a flop. Majority of Sony 1st party games has legs. It must really pain you that Yotei is doing well and will continue to sell.
RafterXL
Member
Not as much as it pains you that everything you are saying is make believe until proven otherwise, which you can't do.
And the 2 million story matters because it shows how pathetically easy it is to get you lemmings to follow each other off the cliff because you are so eager to stick it to the chuds.
Like I said, when you can prove me wrong…do so. If it's doing so well and is a success, that shouldn't be too hard, right? I look forward to it.
demigod

There is proof that it's topping the charts, not a flop like you're dreaming. Even in this thread that you are posting in. Now where is your proof that it's flopping? Go on, i'll wait.
RafterXL

I literally debunked your "proof" with the new Tron movie. It's "topping the charts" as well but it sure as hell isn't successful.
I can show you dozens of games a year that top the charts at release that don't sell well. Launching #1 on a platform does not make you successful. The position alone mess less than nothing. You'd think people on an enthusiast site would understand this.
And I gave you my evidence, feel free to disprove it. These numbers have been widely reported and not ONE person with the info has said they're fake, unlike the 2 million stuff which we knew was fake almost immediately.
Btw, I never said it was flopping, I said it wasn't selling as well as the first game and that means it's not successful.

I don't believe numbers from unreliable sources, and you didn't see me "fall for those Chinese 2 million" numbers.
I only used 6 pieces of information.
- 1st week UK sales report
- 1st week physical sales numbers
- Amazon sales numbers
- PlayStation Store charts
- Christopher Dring's report that digital sales for Ghost of Yotei are significantly higher than Ghost of Tsushima.
- Ghost of Tsushima numbers
I didn't fall for any fake numbers, but you clearly have.

For Konami, a unit shipped is a unit sold because they've already been paid for it. So that number is about shipment.

First Light wasn't DLC, it was a budget standalone side story. I mentioned that because same studio. Maybe Lost Legacy is a better example. Also a budget priced standalone side story.
I can't say if GoY is worth $70 but I think it would have had better reception if positioned as a lower priced side story instead of a full priced protagonist replacement sequel.
Ass of Can Whooping

But it's not a budget side story lol
Rule of thumb is if you're going to market something as a standalone/spin off or whatever then it's going to sell worse than if you were to market it as a main line title even if its cheaper.

Ghost of Yotei? More like "ghost of yo-go-buy-and-play something else."
I reckon Ghost of Tsushima would've gotten drowned out too if it released in the fall and not the summer.

4k copy of Big Trouble in Little China, good looking characters in games, long walks on the beach during a blood moon, peace between humans and the lizards, sticks that look like swords on hikes, etc.
Ya know, typical human stuff.

I think if we are looking for reasons that the game isn't selling then I'd say it is because Atsu isn't an appealing character. Not like Jin was. The game is worth the price, but at some point game studios need to figure out that charisma is important. Turns out, Atsu is a more compelling character than Jim was, imo. But first impressions mean a lot and I wasn't thrilled with her at first either. That's going to kill some sales.
Kilau
Member
Can't really say it's not selling since we don't have numbers. Atsu certainly isn't an appealing character to me but I'm not sure "normie" gamers care that much. I do remember Sucker Punch was breathing a sigh of relief that AC wasn't set in Japan when GoT when was announced, possible that AC: Shadows sucked too much air out of the samurai game excitement this year.

Then AC Shadows presented Sucker Punch with an open goal and they blasted it a mile wide. It's a strange industry.

Hasn't been proven to be fake. The guy who said about it works for PlayStation.
If you are using numbers from Alinea, they are 100% made up.
