[SAD NEWS] PS5 owners just aren't buying 3rd party games.
Death Stranding 2, a long awaited sequel by the legendary game creator Hideo Kojima himself, sold 66% less units than the first game on launch.
Playstation 5 owners would rather buy 1st party offerings like Astro Bot which sold 33% more than Death Stranding 2.
What can be done to make PS5 owners more interested in 3rd party games?
PS5 gamers want COD and sports. Who cares about gay walking sims?
>>714101001 (OP)walking sim with holliwood whores are not games
nobody owns a fucking ps5. kojima deserves it for being such a sony whore.
Death Standing is that movie game version of qwop right? Why would anyone be fooled by that twice?
>>714101001 (OP)If PS5 owners wanted to play games they wouldn't have bought a PS5
>>714101253But PS5 sold 75 million units...
>>714101001 (OP)Funny how another PS5 exclusive bombs spectacularly. Square Enix learned their lesson. Will Kojima?
>>714101253He'll just pretend that he won.
>>714101001 (OP)"It's a far more digital market today"
What a bunch of weasel-words. We have straight from the Insomniac leaks that physical games still make up the majority of actual game sales, even on the Playstation. The "digital sales" are just battle passes or gacha currency purchases. The replies saying the sales "might be 70% digital" are completely divorced from reality.
>>714103734I wonder how much of the non-pc revenue is COD, FIFA, and gacha.
Normalfags and niggers only bought PS5's. And both of those groups don't really play video games.
>>714101001 (OP)>own a ps5>not wait for the pc release when it's gonna be "free" on psnWhy would anybody. Go beg for a pc port so I can play this in my overpriced snoyscription.
>>714101001 (OP)Sony has cultivated a userbase of people that only play free to play games or games on sale.
>>714101001 (OP)Why did Kojima-sama fall for the Snoy meme?
Death Stranding wasn't a game that warranted a sequel.
>>714101001 (OP)>UK charts>No actual numbers, just an angel's ballpark>No sources cited either >Digital percentile cope>"But actually it did really, really great as a PS5 game"How many times do they do this exact same song and dance? Seems like they've done this for every single PS5 release since launch.
>>714101417Then what should I buy to play games?
Nothing I assume?
>>714104048>Roblox>Minecraft>FortniteThe death knell of gaming.
>>714101001 (OP)People need to understand that for normalfags the generation only begins after Rockstar releases a game
>>714101001 (OP)physical had a supply issue and has only just started coming back in stock
It's not a game. Despite all the denial in this basketweaving forum, it's clear as day to literally anyone that it's a god damn walking simulator. Search any image or video about the game, you always see the exact same picture: norman trying to balance the load out by treading carefully towards a beautiful looking scenery. But that's literally it, that's the entire "game". You can keep coping by calling people tasteless normies. No, that's just you trying to be a contrarian. Don't even get me started on the writing and a load of horseshit "lore".
It's a beautiful looking, pretentious crap.
>>714107421There's a generation of game devs that are insanely loyal to Sony due to the late 90s/early 00s being incredibly profitable if they were PS exclusive
>>714101001 (OP)30+ years old folks were the ones buying them games but there is only so much time once you get old. Problem is the ones that should be buying games now are alpha and zoomers but they only play on their phones like the iPad baby retards that they are.
Games nowadays only really sell well on PC and only because of China.
>>714101001 (OP)Where is he getting his physical vs digital stat from?
>>714110221Another thing is no one wants to play a fucking delivery simulator, after coming home from work.
>>714109668physical games now get very few prints. Getting physical games of most games is so fucking hard. If you don't buy at release date then scalpers start selling them on Ebay for $100. Sony and others really want to kill physical. I bet the PS6 will be digital only, at which point I don't understand why you wouldn't just go PC and have all your digital library on Steam. Much better and more reliable than PSN.
Did anyone actually want a Death Stranding 2?
>>714110221>Games nowadays only really sell well on PCWrong. Unless it's a F2P favelacore shitfest for the usual PC crowd.
>>714109851it's a good game stuck on a shit system
PC chads will save it like they saved Stellar Blade
>>714110525Nope. I was genuinely shocked when he announced DS2. I was expecting some other interesting shit, and.. he just announced DS2. He probably actually thought that DS1 was good and he must make a second iteration. That's what happens when you give kojima full creativity.
>>714110534 Based and filtered. The "PC is the best platform" cope only works if you pretend shit like Genshin, League, and Tarkov clones are some pinnacle of gaming. Meanwhile console gets actual curated experiences (yes, even if they’re walking sims with movie budgets). Enjoy your 500GB update for some Unity asset survival game, bro.
>>714101001 (OP)live service ruined video games
>everything is more expensive today
>wages haven't changed in 20 years
hmmm wonder why $80 games aren't selling
