Why the PS2’s Sales Record Will Never Be Beaten

New DVD release, , ,
As the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S set incredible sales paces in the midst of strange times, and the Nintendo Switch continues to exceed all sales expectations, many fans find themselves wondering whether or not any of those consoles can eventually dethrone the best-selling video game console of all-time: the PlayStation 2.  Well, as you probably guessed based on this article’s headline, my answer to that question is “No.” The PlayStation 2’s position atop the best-selling console chart isn’t an accident and it’s not a record meant to be taken lightly. It’s arguably the one video game sales record…

New DVD release, , , , ,
Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red has released more information about their Q1 earnings, and the financial report finally seems to shed a little light on how bad Cyberpunk 2077‘s sales have been since launch and how those sales are negatively impacting the company’s stock. While CDPR enjoyed a 2% increase in product sales during Q1 2021, the company has watched its net profits plummet 64.7% during that time from the previous year. The company reportedly expected a net profit of 80 million zlotys during that quarter and instead only recorded a net profit of 32.5 million zlotys. Surprisingly, the…

Can Returnal Sales Figures Be Blamed on PS5 Shortages?

New DVD release, , , ,
In case you haven’t heard, Returnal isn’t just one of the first major PS5 releases of 2021; it’s one of the year’s best games and a fascinating project that’s smaller scope and strong creative voice make it the antithesis of the kind of blockbuster games the PlayStation team is reportedly focused on. Of course, there are some who wonder if Returnal could actually “overcome” its small nature and perhaps even become the next great PlayStation franchise. Maybe that’s why more people than usual seem to be focused on the game’s sales. After all, it’s hard for a game to become…

New DVD release, , ,
Since the popular idea of a “console war” isn’t going anywhere despite all the evidence that suggests our perception of that concept has drastically changed in recent years, it’s only natural that many gamers can’t help but wonder who is winning the sales race between the PS5 and Xbox Series X.

The good news is that both companies are doing very well at…

Cyberpunk 2077 Sales Figures Prove the Hype Was Bigger Than the Bugs

New DVD release, , , ,
While we had heard that Cyberpunk 2077 ended up recouping most of its development costs based on pre-orders alone, a series of unusually generous refund policy adjustments instituted in response to the game’s technical problems led some to wonder whether or not the game’s 2020 sales figures would reflect all of the bugs, missing features, and increasingly bad word of mouth. Well, according to this figure tweeted out by Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Project Red, it seems that Cyberpunk 2077 may have ended up exceeding many sales expectations despite the circumstances that negatively impacted the game’s launch. pic.twitter.com/tShgt8LRqN— CD PROJEKT…

Nintendo Switch Sales Numbers Prove It Can Easily Outsell PS5 and Xbox Series X

New DVD release, , , , , ,
While most eyes are fixed on the GameStop stock situation, an equally interesting video game finance story happened today when Nintendo released their latest financial reports.  There’s quite a lot to break down from those reports, but if you’re looking for the headline or biggest takeaway, then here it is: The Nintendo Switch has sold in 79.87m units after 46 months on the market. Here is how it compares to other consoles when launch aligned. In the same time frame, the PS4 was around ~67m and the PS2 was around ~69.5m. The Wii was just under 75m. pic.twitter.com/ox3NQy8Ye4— Daniel Ahmad…

Has Cyberpunk 2077 Met Sales and Review Expectations?

New DVD release, , ,
Nearly a month after its release, Cyberpunk 2077 remains a hotly contested game. From those who have seen all of the game’s endings to those who are just trying to understand what all the buzz is about, nearly everyone seems to have an opinion on Cyberpunk 2077 and those opinions are rarely exactly alike. Cut through the divisiveness, opinions, and occasional drama, though, and you’re left with the question “Is Cyberpunk 2077 a Success?” It’s a seemingly simple question that proves to be much more complicated than you may anticipate. In an attempt to add some statistical context to the…

How the Cyberpunk 2077 Best Buy Debacle Became Another Next-Gen Sales Failure for Retailers

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The lead up to the release of the long-awaited sci-fi RPG epic Cyberpunk 2077 has been anything but smooth sailing. Originally announced all the way back in 2012, CD Projekt Red’s follow-up to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has suffered several delays, and not all of them due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Most recently, reports of poor working conditions at the developer shed light on the dark side of a studio that originally promised it would not rely on development crunch and mandatory overtime to finish the game. Then another delay came, pushing the game from its November launch date…

PS5 vs Xbox Series X Sales: Who is Winning So Far?

New DVD release, ,
While we’ve previously talked about how the PS5 vs. Xbox Series X war likely won’t be won through console sales alone, it’s inevitable that people will want to know which console is outselling the other at any given time. To save you a lot of drama, we don’t know the exact sales figures for either console as of yet. Nintendo recently revealed that they’ve sold 735,000 Switch and Switch Lite units in the US in October, but Sony and Microsoft are staying quiet at the moment in terms of sales numbers. However, a little reasonable analysis of what we do…

Why the PlayStation 5 vs. Xbox Series X War Won’t Be Won With Console Sales

New DVD release, , ,
In an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, PlayStation CEO reiterated his belief that the PS5 can potentially break the PS4’s sales records but surprised many by noting that he doesn’t believe victory in the upcoming Xbox Series X vs. PS5 war will be measured solely by console sales. “It’s become a lot more nuanced,” Ryan says of console sales figures. “For example, one reference point, we sold a lot of PS2s, but many of them were at $99, on a format that was very, very heavily pirated. Right now the metric is engagement, and that obviously can be judged across two axis:…

Madden NFL 21 Sales Figures Seemingly Unaffected by Negative Reviews

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The early sales figures for Madden NFL 21 are in, and they may come as something of a surprise to those who felt that this year’s installment represents the series at its absolute worst. While EA hasn’t revealed exactly how many copies of Madden NFL 21 have been sold thus far, a report by the NPD group makes it clear that the game is already a tremendous success. It’s not too surprising to learn that Madden NFL 21 was the best-selling game of August, but it is shocking to hear that this year’s installment reached “double-digit percentage dollar sales growth…
