Sony simply isn't ok with releasing broken and unfinished games to the public. Unlike Microsoft, as everybody can see.

lol, PUBG is still going to sell millions when it launches on PS4. Blame Sony and their lackluster early access program, assuming they even have one yet. Has anything besides Ark launches in early access on PS4? Just curious. It’s no surprise they went with MS, it makes good business sense for them. Same with Darwin Project. Same as all the indies that struck deals with PS4 when the gen started, MS made it very easy with their shitty indie policies.

I’ve had this downloaded on my PC for awhile but never got around to trying it. Maybe I’ll give the PS4 beta a whirl.

Honestly dont think so. 
H1z1 + CoD + Forenite ate up that market, its too late now for PUBG (on ps4) (it ll never get a good install base on ps4).

PUBG shot themselves in the foot, and loss out on tons of extra sales by being exclusive to xbox.
When it finally does come to PS4, no one will care about it.

lol, two of those games aren’t even out yet. But have apparently already eaten up the market. 

Youre literally making my point for me by listing all these BR games that you assume will be wildly successful.

Yet they’ve done it in the past and will do it again in the future. They’re called early access for a reason.

I guess you’re just playing stupid console warz though.

Poor pugb developers... they still haven't figure out how to run the game at 30fps on consoles which explain why the game hasn't gone out of game previews. fortnite and h1z1 are filling the need of a battle royale game for ps gamers and at 60fps.

Yeah h1z1 stealing their 60fps thunder on the ps4 Pro anyway. Crazy to think the pubg developers are still struggling to hit 30. They could of had a massive hit on ps4 but instead their rivals are stealing their thunder. Next up to take more of their market, black ops battle royale. Possibly battlefield and who knows what other games coming at e3. Nobody waits in this industry. Think fast, move faster, semper fi!

H1Z1 looks to be a hit.
Fortnite is a monster hit already, and Call of Duty.... is Call of Duty.... it ll do numbers.

A free beta = a hit. The PC version pretty much came and went.

And yeah, keep mentioning how multiple iterations of the same concept will do well. That totally explains why PUB freakin G won’t do well, LOL. Come on now.

"A free beta = a hit."

 

People said the same about fortnite. But that went onto become the biggest hit since rocket league launch with ps plus on ps4. It brought in 300m for April and that's up from 225m in March. Could possibly hit 500m a month. Fortnite may be free but it appears to be far more successful then pubg not just in terms of players playing "because it's free".

It's a free beta. Numbers are good but we gotta see how many people buy the game at launch.

Edit: So the game is F2P on PS4. So that's a pretty good start.  Hopefully it does well revenue wise.

PUBG can't even launch on PS4 since Sony doesn't allow early access.

Oh man, that’s all awesome. Not relevant to my post though. If you’d like to add logical reasons why any of that means PUBG won’t be successful on PS4, feel free. All I’m seeing is “all these Battle Royale games are going to be huge simultaneously and that means PUBG won’t because of reasons” lol.

And again, that’s assuming it’s even possible for PUBG to have launched on PS4 yet even with no MS deal. Which given Sony’s policies and the lack of early access PS4 games, is not a logical assumption.
