Congrats! But where did that single player thing came from? It never disappeared

Tell that to MS and EA. Who both believe the single player genre is dead and the future is all about games as a service.

To OP, technically U4 isn't only a single player game though. But congrats to them, though that milestone was reached a while ago considering digital sales which VGC doesn't track. I won't be surprised if Horizon is already there or close too considering digital.

They didn't notice that 2 of the highest rated games this gen are single player (BOTW and Odyssey). And in terms of sales, those 2 are not lacking as well. 



Pocky Lover Boy!

PS3 had 8 10m+ sellers.

PS4 already at 6....

Badass result for PS4, its gonna tie or take the lead by the end of the year.

 

I think an interesting comparison would be PS2/XB vs PS3/360 vs PS4/XBO since the PS & XB audiences are very interchangeable and flip flop from one generation to the next.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Awesome news! Lost Legacy is also a great game. Loved the team-up of Nadine and Chloe almost as much as Nate and Sully.



PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

Thats fantastic! So many amazing PS4-Games #this is for the Player

#we love Singleplayer-Games
(Ni No Kuni 2, Yakuza 6, God of War and next month Detroit Become Human yeah!)

Congratulations to Sony and Naughty Dog.They deserve it!



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Nier: Automata - 2.5M
Persona 5 - 2M  

Coming up:
God of War
Detroit
Spiderman

Yeah, not bad for single player games.

Uncharted 4 -  8.7m (back in jan2017) (by now it should be over 10m)
Horizon Zero Dawn - 7.6m (back in feb 2018) (its probably over 8m by now)



Amazing for Naughty Dog. Took them 3 decades of one incredible game after the other to hit this milestone for a game, so to say it's well earned would be a massive understatement.

It's a single player game with an online mode.

As opposed to a multiplayer game with a single player mode. There's a difference.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

ohhhh, they know. But thats not what they want. What they want are games like destiny and COD. Overwatch, fortnite....etc. Games that they will release, sell like 20M copies or at the very least have 20M people download them then support with microtransactions for the next 3yrs.
