Once reviews rolled in and everyone said it was good to great. I knew it was going to be an absolute smash. Good on you Spiderman.
Sony doesn't own the rights to Spider-Man for gaming.But Sony owns the rights to spiderman... So I'd assume its either playstation or nothing
NBA2K is the highest selling sports title and had the marketing rights with Sony since the start of this gen. That all ended this year as they moved to MS...Why? When 2K is a huge game that trumps any sports game in terms of popularity and marketing with players and celebrities. MS owns it now because they paid for it and MS has the money to trump any move Sony does
The reason Sony is getting these deals is because Phil does not want to spend the money when he knows the xbox version will not outsell the ps4 version of the game. But things are tightening a bit more and Phil can now go after certain games
He is going after NBA and got it, he went after BF5 and got it and I strongly feel that COD will go back to where it started to gain its popularity next year. That is just my opinion based on COD making no bundle for ps4 as it has always and the DLC is now just a week and not a month...Things that never happen before...
Whatever happens I want Spider-Man and Astro Bot in PlayStation Allstars 2. Great mascots to add and get rid of some of those terrible characters like Fat Princess and Emmit. Those two had no reason to be called allstars.Once reviews rolled in and everyone said it was good to great. I knew it was going to be an absolute smash. Good on you Spiderman.
Everything you said is totally correct, and I agree, biggest sports game launch, multi platform, simply ridiculous. BUT, American Football is still the most popular sport in America. ;)
Football is the most popular sport in America actually.
Basketball is second. Your point still stands though.
Damn, really? That is honestly a surprise for me.
My common sense always had basketball as the most popular american sport.
Labo continues to be a disappointment. If Nintendo wants to turn it around they are going to have to do more than just partner with schools. Some sales/advertising during the holidays might entice people to try it out.
All we know is it's more (possibly double) the revenue of the last strongest launch of an DQ game, which is likely DQ9.
Happy for Tomb Raider. The fake narrative the game bombed was overblown. Not suprising here though.
I'm just amazed that with all the records broken, September is still flat over last year's results.

That's surprising considering NBA2K, FIFA, DQ11 all launched in the same month. I wonder if those yearly sports games took a dip compared to last year?
Edit: just saw that those games had better years compared to last year. Weird.

Wow. This is really good news. Wasn't expecting that. XBX1X is a really well made system.. Not forgetting FH4. Congrats to MS and PG games.
It's been regurgitating in this thread.
They game actually did pretty bad in UK, at least comparing with previous game. Rise was temporary exclusive, unlike Shadow being multiplat day one.Happy for Tomb Raider. The fake narrative the game bombed was overblown. Not suprising here though.

Who's alt is this?You know who said the same dumb PR statement? MS when they had the deal....You read to much into PR talk....We get it you got a Sony tat but ease up and maybe you would make more sense.
Was there a survey done on that or you making it out of ur ass?In units too? I assumed revenue because well $400 console bundle, $150 SE that were both sold out. But unit sales? It's NBA 2K. Every dude on a college campus with something that can run it is guaranteed to buy it.
Their post history is a trip.
Just to be clear Spidey did not marginally surpass GoW
It completely obliterated it

Called it. I said years ago that Spider-Man would be huge and sell faster than any other PS4 exclusive before it and some folks thought I was crazy. You only needed to step outside of gaming forums and see the kind of hype the first trailer generated among both casual gamers and non-gamers in the real world to know this.
I don't see how that isn't still good news?? MS must be pleased.I think its been said 3 dozen times already but the best sku, not the best selling xbox. impressive none the less.
Or just have both characters selectable?So Spider-Man breaking records, and Venom is a box-office hit.
Can't wait for Venom to make an appearance in the sequel!

Wow. Spiderman's performance is just amazing. What else can you say?
For real. So few people in this industry look outside the bubble.
Sony's marketing roll out for Spider-Man has been sensational.
