« Note: HR was released on a Tuesday, while Detroit released on a Friday :-) »
So yes, maybe it didn't flop... and there was probably not another big first party competitor like GoW back then.
The next 1-3 weeks will tell us if was a success or not.

People use the word "flop" and "bomba" way to much it lost all meaning really.
Yeah, good point. I'd say Detroit was a lot lower than I thought it would have been. I expected around 60k when taking into account the install base and push for a big first party exclusive
You hate Cage, we get it, but you're fighting a losing battle here.
Detroit will sell well, will be profitable, and QD will release it's next game on the PS5 in 3-4 years.
so probably around 55 - to 60 million euros including marketing. woof! that's a big budget
You can't read, we get it, but you're fighting a losing battle here.
I was responding to a post that did a comparison with God of War. The comparison doesn't work. God of War opened to higher sales than previous entries. Detroit did not.

That's a very average start for Detroit. I think it will do fairly well over the coming weeks though since it launched on a Friday, the word of mouth around it has been good and it launched so soon after God of War.
Tbh I don't know how Heavy Rain did so well for its launch.

Still i don't think anyone should have expect it to open at HR number .
Also the comparison make no sense due to fact that each QD game is new IP .
It open up higher than Beyond the question is how much with DD and next week will give us a idea about it's legs .
I didn't invoke the God of War comparison.
Personally I think the Detroit sales are middling. Not bad or good. It's certainly opening on the lower side of Sony first-party offerings, even below something like the Last Guardian which is a fairly small title.
And unlike most Sony titles this generation, it hasn't benefited from a boost in sales compared to the studios past work.
Pretty much.
That type of stuff should be reserved for games that have truly done bad commercially.
In UK .hold your horse for WW numbers. And beside last game of QD was beyond and this is selling Abit better than beyond .so if anything they improved ;)
Im wondering if the success of God of War has had an adverse effect on Detroit.
Not everyone has £50 to buy a new game with each month.

And? That doesn't mean it's a flop, it won't sell well , or won't make a profit.
You've been posting non-stop all over era trying to discredit Detroit, Cage and QD. You must really hate the man but you're clearly not being objective with the game, and it's tiresome...
PS: You're quip was really, really bad
And I didn't say any of that regarding flop. My "quip" was also just a straight copy of yours. With how much you're defending David Cage, I thought you'd appreciate a little copy paste.
Sorry that I don't like Cages games or the management of QD which has been accused of terrible things. Didn't realize that was a pre-requiste to posting in PAL Charts threads.
Wait, it's not.

Beyond tanked in its second week in the UK which I expect/hope Detroit won't do. So it should be fine
Mine was not a quip, mate, mine was just a statement. What made yours a quip was your attempt to use your words againts me, in a very uninspired manner.
It's not a pre-requesite, just makes your posts not that valuable when your commenting on Detroit, if they're fueled by this Cage hate
Okaaaaaay...
Whatever you say. Maybe try rereading the post I was responding to and what I actually said rather than whatever your imagination put in there.
I have a dream that one day you'll judge me by the contents of my posts in this thread...
Just looked into this and it's actually bollocks. Heavy Rain launched Feb 26th 2010 in the UK - a Friday.
Yeah, plus it barely makes too much of a difference usually. Most of the sales come on day 1, so if we're making a direct comparison to Heavy Rain as that Tweet was, then it probably won't sell as much as Heavy Rain week 1 in 3 weeks time even unless there's some early price drops.
How so? Because it had 1 million players at launch?
Tracking days most definitely make a difference, just look at God of War.

Yep.
I discovered the souls games through Bloodborne, and last week I got Dark Souls Remaster instead of Detroit. Also because it was cheaper (even more if you preorder it) , and I still have GoW to finish...such a long game
Wow good for state of decay 2. It almost beat Detroit which had what 100X the hype over the last few years? And that's on Xbox much smaller than PS4 install base in the UK, AND on top of that gamepass and a heavy digital focus siphoning off a LOT of SOD's sales. With digital/game pass in account it surely handily beat Detroit.
Sorry, I should have put 'in my opinion' although I thought that was obvious.

Did the new God of War turn out to be good friend!?
LMAO my bad reading these names together so much I got it all mixed up
Doubt that. It doesn't happen that with any other Japanese games. It doesn't even happen with Western games like The Witcher 3.
