Forums - Sony Discussion - Bloodborne Release Date February 6, 2015!! Collectors edition Revealed!!

"Selling a lot" depends on the expectations, which we don't know. The games release two weeks apart and can sell plenty between that time.


I expect that this time around Bloodsouls will have a sizably larger budget than the older entries in the series. We're getting some extravagance in this title unlike the older entries, and its now also heavily limited unlike past titles by going back to exclusivity after two titles enjoyed X360/PC sales that made up a good chunk of its usual sales figures.

The Order, harder to say, since we don't have a past comparison to judge a "what is good sales" for the titles and how their budgets usually line up.

It'll be interesting to see if the slip in sale numbers continues too for the Souls series, though that may have had more to do with the lesser quality of DkS2 than the series reaching saturation on largely unchanging mechanics (may also be why Bloodsouls is adding some new bells and whistles). This may be why to titles are in one month, in case one of them doesn't perform up to snuff.

still dont understand why this and the order are coming out in the same month


There is less competition in the early months, and neither game is expected to sell a lot, so might as well get them out of the way as soon as they are ready...

They could both sell fairly well (1.5m doable) and push some systems.  It'll still be fairly early in PS4's life (just over a year) when they release.

I think they will both struggle to reach a 1m mark. Bloodborne might be higher if the reviews follow the DS scores, while The Order will struggle, as it already has tons of negative press that I don't expect to change. It will meta in the yellow, have very shaky legs, and fade very quickly.

The same for selling systems, and the only thing that might push the numbers higher is bundling either of them for free.

lol no, Bloodborne will reach 2 million if not 3 million if the game is not bad. The Order will do a million very easily! How much more it can do is dependant on how it reviews, as we´re not sure it´s a good game so far.



Best game at Gamescom!



So this game will have Co-op? Sweet, going to try and get my friend to buy this when they get their PS4.



cant wait, i will get that collectors edition.



You Americans are confusing with your dates, put February in the title.



Hmm, pie.
