Amazing game. I'm just waiting for the patch to fix the AI (it's OP) and it'll be perfect.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

The game is great, I had a blast with it on the pc version, but those numbers are because it was free on PS+

I'm sure you can supply us with a list of games that were on PS+ on both the PS4 and PS3 that hit 4.5m. Clearly, it's jsut because it's free. I wonder if we'll see the creators of Styx telling us it was downloaded 4.5m times?

Pokémon Shuffle has over 5 million downloads, must be a great game right?

I was thinking exactly the same.

So, Styx was downloaded 4.5m times, as was Rain and Driveclub! Great to hear but I wonder why no one has mentioned it?

It was downloaded 4.5m times because it's a great games. People might want to brush it off but 'thems' the facts.



 

The PS5 Exists.

Used way more time to do so, has a bigger userbase (for the free platform), and this games has sold almost 500k on PC. And Pokemon Shuffle uses one of the biggest IPs in gaming.

Don't try downplaying it, this game is a huge success, just being free isn't enough to achieve what this game has.

And it's a lazy uninspired clone of Candy Crush filled with microtransactions. Yet it still convinced 5 million people. Because it's free. 500k people bought Rocket League with real money, good, but not amazing by any stretch of your imagination.

It's so sad the lengths people will go to downplay something.

Anyway, this is great news! Keep those Indies coming Sony.

Given how big Candy Crush is, being a clone of that will give you a boost, when you are using such a big IP as Pokemon to kickstart it.

Now, do you think this game achieved this success just because it was free?

It would have sold around 800K-1M by now if it wasn't free. That's good, but not nearly as amazing as some of you guys are claiming this to be.
