Yeah, it really flopped hard. For a quick comparison, just look at Sony’s sales:
| Position | Game | Sales (in millions) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Marvel Spider-Man 2 | 11.00 |
| 2 | Ratchet & Clank | 3.97 |
| 3 | Elden Ring | 3.64 |
| 4 | Final Fantasy | 3.00 |
| 5 | Demon’s Souls | 1.40 |
Now if we look at the catalog of “caixistas”, from Xbox, and take just 1 title. Just 1: Animal Crossing, which sold 45 million copies on its own. Or Mario Kart 8, which sold almost 62 million, we understand that you only need 1 title to surpass 5 Sony titles together. It’s just unreal.
Another important point is Game Pass, which today has more than 34 million subscribers paying every month. The hole in Sony’s accounting must be colossal. Only 7 games managed to sell more than 1 million copies.
