Sony PlayStation: First Party Studios & Projects |OT2|

I'd put it closer to 6m - maybe 8m. Should do 3m in it's first week or two then onto the Christmas shopping season.
For comparison God of War sold 5m first month. I think that will be over 8m by the end of the year.
I think they will skip PGW and do a conference at PSX (like in 2016). Last year, PGW was just one week before the launch of the Xbox One X, but this year they have no reason to do a conference in October.
Spider-Man will outsell GoW short term and long term. Spider-Man is an IP that does well all over the world and considering that it will "nuke from orbit" in the USA - as Benji says - this will be a global juggernaut.
No doubt.
No doubt.
Well it's not like GOW is done selling guys. Both of these has potential to be 10+ million sellers, after that milestone I don't think Sony cares anymore.
Based on Shuhei's comments, I actually think Sony's next goal is to have a hit MP game. They have Horizon, God of War, Spider-Man, TLOU, Uncharted, and hopefully Days Gone as potential story focused IP for next gen.

Wasn't a press conference at PSX in request by Naughty Dog?
How do you explain 2015. Big update from SIE WWS and announcements. If TGS will indeed announce new console games since 2015 they will bring that update to PGW. Plus we are still waiting for Manchester Studio's big VR project. We need an update on WiLD. It's been three years since we saw it. MediEvil Remake handled by xDev based in Europe. Dreams needs a update on the beta release.
But we have to wait and see. If they announce a press conference at PGW then that will be the last major event of the year for announcements from SIE WWS.
The real question is: Do we need them in order to make a point in the sales discussion of Spider-Man PS4?
I don't think so.
GoW sales surprised the heck out of me... but that doesnt change the fact, that when 10 kids walk into game store, 9 of them will choose spider-man game over everything... and lets be real, most of us will do the same. It may not outsell Gow in its first month/3 months, but long term... cmon, it will be selling everytime some kid walks up into store and sees that red flag amongst other games.. sony and insomniac knew what they were doing with that cover... it really doesnt have to be good. it just needs to catch your eye... rest will be easy, its fucking spider-man, biggest comic book IP and pretty much number 1 comic book character all around the world.
Every kid will know about this game by christmas either from youtube, their friends, other media or just because of seeing the game in every single store, probably next to to sweets in their local shop (:P ok, you know what I mean) so we know number one christmas wish/gift for many of youngsters - buy me PS4 with spiderman... good luck parents :P

Pretty spot on, in my opinion. I think it'll beat God of War, especially if they do that embargo lift a week before like God of War. If it doesn't review well, it won't sell as well as God of War, or at least as fast, but I think that is very unlikely, given it's developed by Insomniac who we know is extremely talented and is a reputable studio. Previews already seem gleaming. I for one have had this as my most anticipated title this year, even if my hype is swinging constantly. I loved Spider-Man 2 and Ultimate as a kid, no doubt this'll be no different. :)
I'd quite like a pizza mission as reference to Spider-Man 2, because that'll be hilarious. Doubt we'll get that one, but we'll see. :P
438... this needs to stop soon lmao
Thanks for the info, but I at least wanted a Dreams event for Gamescom. Seemed like the perfect time to do it
I believe that Spider Man will outsell God of War in it's first month and long term but that God of War will be known as the better overall game.
i thought they already stated this is a mature peter that works as a scientist? likelihood of a pizza delivery mission is very low
In 2015, Sony had four conferences, but it was too much. So in 2016 and 2017, Sony had only three conferences (E3, TGS and PSX in 2016, E3, TGS and PGW in 2017). It will probably be the same this year.
The question is : PGW or PSX ? Yes, Sony Europe have a lot to show, but PSX is their own event. Sony don't need to be at the PGW, but they need to do a better PSX than last year.
Get outta here y'all got pgw Xp
Psx the only thing I can physically go too lol
You still can't even buy a physical copy of Spider-Man from Amazon in the US. They are selling it digitally but that doesn't crack the top 100. Even if you narrow it down to the best selling Playstation 4 games the digital deluxe version comes in at #25 and the regular digital version is at #59.
I always thought they should move the event around. Go different places in North America and other country's. PlayStation is a global phenomenon, Makes perfect senses to do it that way.
Hey nice gif, I've played ALOT of Horizon but I've never tried sliding under the larger machines and dealing damage that way. Seems like a viable combat tactic. So thanks for the gif; beyond just looking great, they hold some good information too.

Thank you! I appreciate comments like this. I also posted it in the game's subreddit, and I'm amazed not many take advantage of the belly of the Thunderjaw. You can do the same with behemoths and tramplers too! :)
Spidey hype! :)
I don't really the comparison. There wasn't that much demand for a Dark Souls remaster because it was already available on PC at 60fps and we we never going to get much more from a remaster. Demon's Souls, on the other hand, has had quite a bit of demand even before the servers went down, because it's "stuck" on a last gen system and a remaster could offer some relatively simple improvements to the resolution and framerate.
But on top of that, this is Bluepoint we're talking about, so they'd probably give it a visual overhaul worthy of calling it a remake. And there's always the possibility of them adding the 6th archstone back into the game, even if I find it extremely unlikely unless FromSoftware are involved.
You're looking at this all wrong. They didn't host a PGW 2017 conference because it was right before the X launch, they skipped PGW 2016 because SIEE were in charge of PS Meeting 2016 where they unveiled the PS4 Pro. Otherwise, Sony have been hosting European conferences for the last decade, there's no reason to believe that's suddenly changed.
Sony didn't get rid of PSX last year because they didn't have enough content, they got rid of it because they've shifted focus from the indies and niche Japanese games that made up 90% of PSX conferences to only the biggest and bestest AAA games. It baffles me that people seriously think Sony couldn't have hosted a 2014/15 style PSX conference last year when those kind of games haven't gone anywhere. Sony just doesn't seem to be interested in shining a spotlight on them any more.
Why?
I know that for many E3 was a bit disappointing, but that was mostly due to a snafu in the format itself.
PSX is a fan event, and even if it has a live streamed event it's mostly a smaller scale thing (which blew up a bitndie to the TLOU2 reveal).
Imo, they -have- to do PGW so that the message to their EU fans isn't "Well, sorry that you aren't in the US or Asia, but at the same time we kinda take you for granted".
Is PSX already dated?
I'll be moving to Long Beach in two weeks and should be much closer to the event this time. :D

So I'll be at Gamescom and have a press ticket. Surely Spider-Man is a game I will play. Hope will find time to play VR-games, too.
And yeah, many other games, too. This will be insane.

Be sure to let us know if anything particular stands out! Especially if you do get some time with some VR games I always enjoy reading about people's vr experiences
While I know that PSX is a fan event, im hoping for a showcase at this year's PSX like Sony did in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
God of War sold 5M in it's first month. I think that Spider Man is going to surpass that because it's more well known brand and mainstream plus it has a teen rating which will help sell more copies.

Not yet. I highly recommend going though! PSX is amazing and quite easily the best convention to go to in my opinion.
Definitely sounds like he's going back to work on God of War instead of a new IP.
I'm just making an educated guess based on "return to the fires whence I came." Maybe I'm looking too far into it.
I bet it probably has the potential to outsell GoW with the type of marketing it has around it. Like look how many Twitter accounts have privilege to market the game. To different casual markets. That's just a 1min trailer. Imagine when the marketing campaign kicks off.
