Yep it benefits all parties greatly.Guess pre orders are getting up there .
Going to be interesting to see what happens when marketing really kicks in .
I expect Sony and marvel to really push it .
I thought EA Access would come to PS4 at E3. Oops. Maybe next year, or maybe they just go Apple with it and try to lock everyone in forever. Who knows.
If Spider-Man reviews 92 or north I expect it to be bigger or at the very least move more consoles among those who never considered a PlayStation before. It will be advertised by Marvel as well as Sony.Main thing is God of War is one of the highest reviewed games of the generation and got an enormous last minute surge. It always tracked well but reviews sent it to a different level.
But....yeah I mean Spidey is tracking favorably against GoW in the same time frame from launch
If I had to bet on it though I still see GoW ahead in the end. Probably not by a small margin either.
I'm also curious to see if Sony will capitalize on the launch of Spider-Verse in December for a 2nd round of marketing for the game.

Do you think that Sony strategy about one week GOW realese made a good role in sales?It would need enormously positive reviews to have a shot, yeah. I was always adamant it wouldn't pass GoW, and I still dont think it will. But recent things have made me slightly less on my stance on it

Thx for the answer. Spider-man indeed have a great chance after those previews, but I not seeing so much PR in the same way GoW have, but still Spider-Man its god gamn popular. September It's going to be a hard month for scale all those sales.Releasing reviews early you mean?
If so yes 100%. Review scores, and them hitting early had a very large impact. Buzz went from high for it pre launch, to through the stratosphere
I'll say this. Spidey has a better shot of topping GoW than I thought a month or so ago.
Still not sure if it does it or not though
Pre-order / reserve data.
But I agree that it probably wont. It's still more likely than it was a month ago, because yeah....its tracking real good

If Spider-Man scores 50 Meta, it's over. Sony Marvel and Inaomniac will split ways. If Spider-Man scores 90+ I expect huge sales, sequels, and continued partnership.
That's the scene I was referencing lol
Spidey will have a 80+ meta at minimum.If Spider-Man scores 50 Meta, it's over. Sony Marvel and Inaomniac will split ways. If Spider-Man scores 90+ I expect huge sales, sequels, and continued partnership.
SoD2 really managed to hit number 1, I'm gonna go ahead and say that Days Gone is gonna have no issue.
That seems like a safe prediction! Do you think Pokemon is releasing too late to creep into the top 10 this year?
That market hasn't even been served well this gen. You can count the amount of decent to high quality, AAA zombie games on one hand.That is a great interpretation. People are still open to ''zombie" games it seems!
Now we getting some good looking ones with Days Gone, Resident Evil 2 and Dying Light 2That market hasn't even been served well this gen. You can count the amount of decent to high quality, AAA zombie games on one hand.
oh wow, I'm surprised you think this'll hold it back. Don't see the Pokémon Go tie in/increased accessibility doing much?Late, sales split between two games, not the full featured RPG, no digital sales included.
They're technically two different games, yeah.

I think this version will work at what it's supposed to do in growing the installed base with kids/family. But right now, Switch owners lean older and more core. I think both do very well, but making the top 10 in 2018 isn't like a normal year.
Yeah that makes sense. I'm definitely curious to see how the whole situation with Let's Go plays out.I think this version will work at what it's supposed to do in growing the installed base with kids/family. But right now, Switch owners lean older and more core. I think both do very well, but making the top 10 in 2018 isn't like a normal year.
Meh, I left BLO PS4 PC Digital in there when I shouldn't have. Updated:
Dec 7th is real late in the year to make it onto an annual top 10. Who knows. Maybe it gets there, but in 2018 it'd take something miraculous imo.
Yep, agreed. Good things come to those who wait.Now we getting some good looking ones with Days Gone, Resident Evil 2 and Dying Light 2
No way, the end of the year is packed. God of War came out with really no competition.I'll say this. Spidey has a better shot of topping GoW than I thought a month or so ago.

It gives MS good "ammunition" to convince other publishers yeah.Yet another example that Game Pass as a model seems to work. Even better than expected, maybe. I hope this will make other publishers to follow suit and publish their new games on Game Pass. It's a wonderful service.
It gives MS good "ammunition" to convince other publishers yeah.
Think a game like Ashen will do nicely also i think. Now its day one at Gamepass also. Not like crazy stuff. But the Gamepass visibility is gonna help for the xbox version.I think that the first big third party game is coming this month. That will be the gauge

This year there is more competition too. Gow and Spidey will sell more than Horizon for example ( i think ). BF V , Cod , RDR , Fallout 76 ... Lot of big titles in 2018. Anyway Smash will be huge.If a 3D Mario game on a smaller install base can do the insane numbers it did in such a short time, Smash definitely has a shot, even with the later launch.
