Well, I guess than we can say for sure that Detroit didn't reach that.

Now this is confusing, article says Heavy Rain sold x4 more than Detroit and Detroit is in line with Beyond, are the 37k for Beyond wrong?
Decent result for Detroit. Not bad but not great, since the comparison is being drawn to Beyond and not Heavy Rain sales wise.
Ooof, that'll put detroit around 21k because articles says that Heavy Rain sold 4x more :/
They know as much as you and me ,they are just speculating about digital.Until 2019 only Sony really knows digital UK numbers.
Last Sony report said that Q4 2017 global digital sales were 43%.
37 is the upper limit, it sold less than that, significantly less than that https://www.**********/threads/pal-charts-week-41-2013.696904/post-85995310
So State of Decay 17k and DS remastered even below that? That's not a good week for new releases at all...
Too hot out to play games. I think all 3 will have relatively decent legs in the next few weeks.
So with 5% increase this week, looks like GOW sold almost 13k this week.
Yeah, Cage has said all their games have been profitable. They are relatively low budget as far as AAA games go.
I remember the article about Detroit having 30m budget. Not 100% sure
I'm in the UK and I bought Detroit digitally. 30K + at retail to me means it sold at least 50K total including digital. My guess is world wide this game will break a million in it's first month with ease.
Detroit's numbers in a vacuum are good
But yea, once you invoke that comparison with older titles, it hasn't done well. Coming in lower than The Last Guardian?
Oof.

Oof.
Never really got the impression that any of the new entries this week would be great sellers so the result doesn't surprise me. And it's saying something that this will probably be the most 'active' week so to speak for quite a while. Can't really think of the next big 'AAA' release.
Yeah, you're right, though that's without marketing most likely.
Here's the thread: https://www.resetera.com/threads/heavy-rain-has-sold-5-3-million-copies-detroit-become-human-dev-budget-about-€30-million.17001/
Cage talking about his games being profitable too: https://wccftech.com/david-cage-sony-remarkable-single-player/
So probably around 50-60m mark. That's not much I guess. Probably will be profitable in a year
