Shows just how powerful some decent hype can be...

Imagine Battlefield 1 when it releases

Battlefield 1 on ps4 is going to be 1 powerful sku. Can't wait.  

 

OT: That top 3!! Ps4 beast mode.  NMS with a huge launch and uncharted 4/GTAV continue to beast.  

 

Turning into a great gen.

In terms of new IP across all publishers and Sony formats it sits 5th behind Destiny (PS4), Watch Dogs (PS4), The Getaway (PS2) and The Last of Us (PS3).

I knew the game had a lot of hype and would see big digital sales but I did not expect it to become the 5th fastest selling new IP ever at retail.

What happened there?

That feels so pleasing. NMS sold over 100k, and as a side note it sold 500k on Steam.

I saw an article it had the most successful steam launch of 2016 as well.

So an overhyped indie game did well? Shows just how powerful some decent hype can be...

Or people like it because it's pretty much what they expected.

*On a single console.

 

And yeah, I did not see it coming either.

The negative reaction it got upon release suggests it was indeed overhyped...

It's been on the internet dehype train for sometime before release.  Enough so, that the negativity incoming on launch was very predictable

The negative reactions only existed because of the hype.  Its funny how we try to make the negative reations more meaninful than the positive ones.  This is an indie game.  It was as Sean said self funded and developed by a tiny team.  The results are amazing considering.   The wave of negativity can blind people but thats why I recommend watching streams.

Funny how only the negative reactions matter and the positive don't count.  If you like this game it seems it's only because you were tricked by hype and not because it's enjoyable to you.

It's insulting.

Agree with this statement.  I like it.  I don't get hyped for games like that so for me it was the actual gameplay that made me want it.    Between PC and PS4 the game will easily clear 2 milion units sold.  There is no doubt in my mind that they will invest their earning into making this game even better.
