Michael Pachter: God of War Could Be Highest Selling PS4 Exclusive, WIll Sell Above 10 Million Units
- Thread starter Wise
- Start date
Spider-Man is also perfect bundle fodder. It's going to be a Teen rated game (I suspect?) and is universally appealing so I imagine they're going to bundle it like crazy.
People mock patcher not because he gets every prediction wrong which would be difficult. It's that his success ratio is probably lower than a coin flip which as far as predictions makes it pretty worthless.
I mean, it is easy to be reductionist with any correct predictions for anyone with hindsight bias lol. It was still stuff he did get right.
Fair enough, I stand corrected
Sony's statements.
I don't think it's lower than a coin flip, it's that people tend to get fixated on what he gets wrong more than what he gets right.
10m is 100% achievable. 20m is going to be extremely hard to pull of though.
If Horizon can sell 8 million in a year then i'd say 10 million is feasible. 20 million isn't happening. Anyone saying that needs to chill.
I'd day there's a high chance he is. Let's just say by most comparison rankings I'vs seen of him within his profession he's in the bottom percentile for what he does.
2 million for Bloodborne at last count, 7.6 million for Horizon.
POliticians get payed for saying shit the whole day. Does that make their shit true? No.
Pachter has a bad "Being right" ratio.
And look at the best selling games from Sony on the PS4. Nothing is close to 20 millions from them. So 10 Millions is archieveable and a high number. 20 million is a daydream.
So it's April now but your gonna wait till November to buy it? It'll probably drop in price in a few months.
I'd love to read one of his true reports, maybe an old one, as someone who works at consulting (on another sector) I'd love to see how the very pros work.
Does anyone have an updated list with the closest to today with how many copies top PS4 games have sold?
Also, I definitely see God Of War selling 10 million units. It's likely doing TLOU numbers in terms of sales.

damn that seems very low for BB...it also has had a lot more time to sell than Horizon.
I take issue with the top 10 games thing, otherwise he's in the ballpark.
2 million was the last time we heard anything and that was a few years ago.

A new IP by Guerrilla Games selling nearly 10 million copies is also unprecedented, yet here we are.
God of War for PS4 has been hyped up far more than even 3, and it's only behind games like Zelda as far as highest rated games of this gen is concerned. It's also a departure that appeals to those not interested in generic hack and slash, and has a ton of good worth of mouth.
GoW will easily blow through all previous numbers.

Don't you fucks dare make those anti-Pachter prediction jokes. I want this dear game to succeed beyond our wildest imaginations.

This describes my one friend. He tried God of War 3, but hated it. He reluctantly bought this one because he wanted something to play and we talked last night and he said it's tied with Uncharted 2 and Last of Us as his all-time favorite SP games.
Doomed to do half of Uncharter 4's sales then. Remember, the smart money's always the exact opposite of what Patcher says.
Sadly i dont see it. It ll sell great in usa but here ib europe its not that popular or popular like uncharted. Games masterpiece but gow still have stigma its bloody 10 hour hack and slash with no mp. I hope im wrong.
Speaking of exclusives tlou s biggest. Most rating along gta on usa and european psn. That game s aell over 10 M.

10 million lifetime sounds accurate.
20 million? Don't make me laugh. It could be the best game ever made 20 million in a 80 million install base is a hard, hard sell, especially it being a rated M game.

Huh? With Smash and Pokémon releasing this year? I doubt it...
I'd imagine Bloodborne would be be quite a bit higher now since that figure was disclosed around the time old hunters was released.
In terms of number of players would be even higher thanks to PS plus last month.
