And it's not done either. It'll be a chart topper when Season 2 comes out. And so will TLOU P1.

I mean, you've been around long enough to know my guy. It is your fault for taking him seriously.

I think you take a lot of this waaaaaaay too seriously...
True, the game seems to have longer legs then many seem to believe.

There are so many people who haven't watched the show who will tune in because of the buzz for season 2 and they'll buy the game as a result. People will be out there binging it.
The one mistake Sony made was partnering with HBO instead of Amazon or Netflix though. All things being equal, it would have sold significantly better on those other streaming services.
If I'm Sony I'd want HBO to put season one on Amazon and Netflix and that might be a good deal for HBO too.

It's funny that this is true, but in the opposite way of how you intended it

Yeah, I should have known better. Won't repeat the same mistake again.
Ah okay, so all you were doing here was low effort baiting. Cool....

I agree about Netflix not Amazon though. I just don't feel Amazon is nearly as popular and is probably right in line with HBO. Netflix is bigger than both IMO and can really blow a show up even bigger than it is on it's own. Who knows though maybe HBO just offered something Netflix wasn't willing to. Also like you said they can still go to Netflix after and make a bit of money that way to.

No way!!! LOL!!! TLOU TV show wouldn't have been what it was without HBO. You can see the quality. Now.......putting Season 1 on Netflix might be a good idea.

lol I don't even know if I can call it that, merely joking as clearly the game is on sale.

You know me well. I rarely take much seriously. 99.9% of the time, if I'm posting a gif like that, i"m joking, i'm not doing it to be serious or baiting or anything odd like that, merely find it funny an old game is above a new one. Context be damned lol
We'll probably see those numbers reflected on the 3rd game as the install base grows of fans of the IP. I think Sony could have done better getting a contract with Netflix or Amazon as their budget would have been WILD, Netflix seems to be willing to ok and fund some wild shit, but all the stars aligned with HBO and i think for them, at the time, it was the right call. They have contracts with Netflix and Amazon and maybe this deal with HBO made sense for what they agreed upon.
Well Sony has their own production studio assisting, for all we know it could have looked better with that Netflix budget
This is what I believe it came down to.

You could have used the same production companies. It still would have been the same show, just a much bigger audience.
HBO is tiny compared to Amazon and Netflix. God of War has huge potential, which is why I'm surprised to see the rumors of a remaster instead of a remake.

Fallout numbers are ridiculous, especially with TLOU being a better show.
Sony took a major blow when Horizon was canceled at Netflix. They were banking on it.
HBO has to be willing to stream it for no additional cost on those other networks. Hopefully we'll get there. It would help their season 2 numbers for sure.

No, the deal expired already...
As revealed from a poorly redacted document unsealed during the Microsoft vs FTC court case, Sony’s current contract with Activision for Call of Duty ends in 2024. However, that contract doesn’t include the 2024 Call of Duty game.
“[T]he last game covered by the contract is a Call of Duty title to be released in late 2023,” the document reads."
Sony's Deal For Call Of Duty Only Includes One More Game
Sony's deal with Activision only includes one more Call of Duty game on PlayStation consoles, a newly unsealed document shows.

MS does it belongs to them now.
A $1000 gimped PC with an Xbox sticker on it that runs steam is apparently what the market is clamoring for. MS always knows best after all.

Twice as powerful as PS5 Pro and it comes with an elite controller and handheld.... For $600. Let's see that fuck you money and spare change in their couch cushions. Put their money where their mouth is for once. In reality they'll buy another publisher and raise gp prices.

I think this was more of a mistake than trying to advertise for Sony.

PS4/5 on the top left of the board, Series X/Xbox One on top right. Normally they'd be next to each other.
Oh I see why they put Xbox on the right side of the big board, Japan reads right to left, the sneaky little buggers.

Sony is making some super smart business moves of using the TV shows and films to help sell the games....and a God of War TV show, which I bet would be similar to that Hercules TV show with Kevin Sorbo.

It's all on MS now, but since their marketing department is quite bad / doesn't really exist, they leave it all to Activision. They really don't want to disturb the golden goose more than they have to (i.e. put it on Game Pass since they promised they would do it for everything but lock it to the most expensive tier so they can still technically be right.)
