A great pozzing success.
The "get woke go broke" fairytale you guys tell yourselves at night to be comforted from the insanity still doesn't seem to be playing out here.
We talked about what "get woke go broke" means extensively in another thread two weeks ago. We explained it to you with the example of The Last Jedi - Star Wars get woke but didn't go broke immediately. It still made over a billion dollars. But it did represent a notable drop compared to Force Awakens and it seemed to severely damage the IP for the next couple of years at least. And we said TLoU2 is just like TLJ in this respect.
But you still keep babbling about "haaahaa get woke go broke is just faantasyy you stupid guise haahaa". Coupled with your recent statements about how you enjoyed The Outer Worlds and you didn't mind it to be a disgusting wokefest and that all our talk about the culture war is stupid, I'm starting to think you're either 1) a crypto-SJW or 2) too blissfully dumb to realize what's been happening around you in the last few years.
Nintendo games sell very well actually, usually better than Sony. That's ignoring Mario and Pokémon. Breath of the wild still outsold just about every PS4 exclusive. Animal crossing too.Beaten by a Switch exclusive that is not even Mario or Pokemon, oof.
I think Last Jedi's issues have barely anything to do with woke shit. It's more just boring and tries to deconstruct Star Wars in a stupid way no one wanted.
All of Disney's stuff is woke as fuck and they're the biggest successes on average
Third best after God of War. I can bet you anything Last of us 2 had a much higher development and marketing budget than Gow. And being a sequel to such a behemoth as Last of us 1 is the only reason it sold as much as it did. Then its sales suddenly flatlined. It should have been the biggest release sales wise rivaling Spider Man, not tailing behind Gow.The argument that TLoU2's first week sales only reflected on the original was a good one. If it's really gone on to be Sony's third-best selling exclusive ever though, that argument quickly becomes a fallacy.

Ok, how come the most, maybe second most hyped game of the generation sells worse than Gow?Third best after God of War.

So you're saying third-best in sales ever already isn't impressive, because the first game was very popular... which according to these figures this one already outsold overall in a couple months. Do you even roll something like that around in your head for a while before writing it, or does it just flow out from a place of hopes and dreams?

Yeah, it had smaller install base too. Anyway, the point is, tlou 2 could have sold much more if the reception wasn't muddled by the controversyGod of War came out more than 2 years ago btw.
If adding progressive elements to your game has no effect on its success and get woke go broke isn't real, does that mean gamers aren't super racist homophobic shitgoblins that think women should be locked in breeding cages with their mouths sewn shut?
Bragging about oddly specific records (Play Station exclusive, third highest grossing game in the US in 2020 alone) - Check
It doesn't even say "exclusive", it says "first-party". What other Sony first-party titles are there for it to even compete with? Bloodborne for instance isn't a first-party title, even though it was a PS4 Excl00sive.That’s according to the latest report from NPD Group, which indicates that the Naughty Dog exclusive is behind only Marvel’s Spider-Man and 2018’s God of War in life-to-date dollar sales for Sony’s first-party titles.
Yes, people pointing out SJW bullshit in entertainment products are the real plague and problem of our Current Year, the grand invention of the Internet couldn't possibly have unearthed anything worse than that. Also for someone with such a low opinion of "whiny snowflake bitches", you sure come off as awfully whiny lately:It's the obsessive nutcases who rant about it and post SJW crusade bullshit or whiny bitching about the death of the white man. Thanks to the grand invention of the internet, we have to listen to all of them.
Whiny snowflake bitches are annoying on all sides, but don't expect the whiny snowflake bitches on this forum to agree with that.
Delekflay reads like your old uncle that really barely keep track of things on the last 20 years and assumes the world didnt change a bit.
DC comics is being eviscerated right now for not selling, Marvel comics is also selling like shit, DC series like Batwoman are being cancelled left and right, Disney Star Wars is underperformong hard, the merchandising business is dead. I can make a bigger list and go on excruciating detail how sjw bs is involved on all that but it is not worthy.

Didn't The Force Awakens basically kill Toys R Us?
Install base as in console owners. In the beginning of 2018, when Gow released, Sony reported 73 mil units sold. In 2020 its 112 mil. Quite the difference don't you think?Yeah, it had smaller install base too. Anyway, the point is, tlou 2 could have sold much more if the reception wasn't muddled by the controversyGod of War came out more than 2 years ago btw.
Where do you get that from? If anything, GoW has a larger install base. It's been one of Sony's best selling franchises since the Playstation 2.
Your argument that TLoU 2 only sold big because it's a sequel but not applying the same logic to GoW is pure retardation.

I'm aware that Gow initial sales were hype driven as well, although we can argue how much hype there was for Gow and for Tlou 2, but it continued to sell well past its first month, unlike Tlou 2, sales of which are rather shitty for a game of that caliber. (All of this according to gamestat.com)

Lol... is something blocking the current install base from buying copies of GoW?
Also, you might want to check your link. It doesn't lead to anything.

You can draw some conclusions on how the game performs especially a couple of months after release, before it gets a discount or a bundleNothing prevents, the game still sells, 23 mil owners.Install base as in console owners.

That was exactly my point.
Also, I wouldn't put too much stock into that site. There's a disclaimer right on the front page that says the numbers are not official and are estimates.
