Congrats to Guerilla. I account for roughly 5% of those sales. You're welcome.

20 million copies sold for a new IP is amazing, no matter how you try to spin it.
That's basically The Last of Us amazing.

Oh no, people can't keep quoting the 10 million number. So sad.

I got it for $15 on PSN. But a sale's a sale. That's a huge success for the IP. And probably another few million from PS Collection giveaways on PS5 for people that didn't already own it. Safe to say 25 million people probably have played this. Absolutely massive.

Same, maybe we should form a group of us lucky 20 like the Miami Dolphins perfect season team did and celebrate every year.

I'm one of them, although it was a pack-in. Solid game, hope the sequel hits it out of the park.

But some people told me Sony games didn't sell more than 10 million and that people wouldn't buy games anymore because subscriptions…
Congrats to Guerila, well deserved.

Wtf? I thought it would have topped out at around 15m. The legs on sony games are insane. Last we heard it was at 10m. This doesn't even count ps now or ps+ collection downloads either.

That's the thing...the game SOLD 20M but has already been on PSNow, PSPlus (i think?) it was given for free on their Play at Home initiative, etc...
The game was actually played by a lot more than 20M people i imagine.
If Forbidden West reviews well it could do even better than 20M for sure.

It's massive for a new IP. And they aren't counting players like YouTube views either, this isn't a F2P game.

Next they will downplay the 20mil figure

Really massive. I guess some people were wrong once again. People see value and people spend money.
This is good to show to those that say Sony first party isn't in the same league that Nintendo's that they're also wrong.

It'll be huge. PS5 supply constrained, and the game is likely not going to get the kind of sales and discounts we used to see on PS4, and it's $70 on PS5 (if you aren't paying attention). If it hits 20 million this time it'll be more impressive than 20 million on the first one. But I wouldn't be surprised. The sequel is mostly hyped, and the original title received a bit more mixed reviews initially.

Nintendo regularly sells 20+ million, but at basically full price. It's a different beast.

Exactly. What we're seeing now is year 2 of Sony trying to be Nintendo and not discount their games. Going forward sales will be somewhat comparable to Nintendo I think, since they're really barely cutting price on things now.

You're the one who brought up Nintendo. You can see my post regarding the topic further up the page.

Quite a big deal and I think it actually says quite a bit about the importance of PC to Sony going forward.
The game had sold 10 million on PS4 by 2019 and was released in February 2017. Horizon was not on the best-selling list for 2018, so the idea that it sold millions and millions more on PS4 is unlikely. I'm guessing a good percentage of this is PC sales.
With constraints on PS5 hardware sales this generation, they're going to lean hard on PC. Day and date? I don't know or care, but I think you're going to see almost all of their games released on PC going forward. Too much money to ignore.
10 million copies @ 50 dollars a pop? 500 million in revenue, minus steam royalties. Just for one game. A handful of games gives you enough money to go out and buy studios.
Spider-Man Remastered on PC is going to be a huge hit.

It'll easily surpass 20M sales, specially since it has an immensely huge userbase and it'll release on pc at some point.

Its also on PS4- and you can upgrade that version for free. And early gen games have much better attach rates (eg Miles Morales). It will do just fine
You may not get record week 1 sales but the legs will be a lot better

The original is 89 on Metacritic. Nothing mixed about that.

Also why I tell people Sony doesn't need to spend billions of dollars buying IP.
Horizon Zero Dawn by itself has outproduced all of Konami's sales in the previous generation by itself. It's only a matter of time until we hear there will be a Horizon movie staring Sophie Turner or something.

Not critically, but most of the narrative at the time was comparing it unfavorably to BotW. I'm just saying the narrative on the sequel will likely be even better than the 1st one.

Those were on bubbles, most people played both and were happy about that.

I'm sure someone's going to get mad soon. Keep trying, and I'm sure you'll reel in someone one of these days.

I bought this not knowing hardly anything about it. Did so just because GG stamped their name on it. I was shocked they did something other than KZ and then double shocked how good it turned out to be.
Hard to believe we're a week from part 2.

I think it's less about Nintendo's games and more about those fans spending habits and perception of value.

is usually phil of shit, but he's right this time.Nintendo is a different beast compared to Sony as much as Sony is to Microsoft.
The important thing they are all growing.
