Just dug around a bit…Spiderman, as per Sony, hit 13mil about 18 months ago. So it’s nowhere remotely close to 30mil. More like 20mil or so. TLoU and Uncahrted 4 were at 20mil and 16mil respectively as of 16 months ago. GoW was at 20mil only a few months back. Horizon only hit 10mil as of 2 yrs ago…

So yeah, those figures are all WAY too high.

Did sony mentioned player count or the copies sold?

Those numbers are users.

Did Sony release some of those games into PS+, their bigger subscription service? PS Now doesn’t have the users to cover the gap but if on PS+, those numbers actually make sense.

Point would be the same, these subscriptions will help the value of those IPs grow due to engagement and exposure leading to more mindshare. Games hitting 10 million users was very difficult prior to subs. If Microsoft’s is over 30 million subs by the end of this year, 10 million users will be the norm for AAA games. If Forza Horizon 5 is received as well or better than FH4, it could be looking at 50 million users by 2023.

I think they have released some games on playstation collections. Don’t know about ps+

Subscription services are golden.

The figures I noted are all sold, but you aren’t going to make up the gap even with PS Now or PS+. The gaps are too big. Whatever the source of the #'s is ain’t accurate.

I beg to differ.

But i guess we both don’t have any hard proof.

I don’t think even the second hand market would make up the gap either.

How the hell did y’all drag Sony into a thread about Horizon.

Someone did the “but look at the numbers for Sony games” move…
