Bloodborne is not a system seller, but it will push a couple of extra PS4's for people who are fans of the Souls series. Its a definite contender for GOTY as most of the games have been. Demon Souls won game of the year from Gamespot I believe. I'm not expecting anymore than 2-2.5 million at best for this game to tell you the truth.


It is a system selling. There are millions of Souls fans and they are the type of fanbase to buy a console just for the game. Yes it is not going to go out and sell 10 million copies like Halo or something.

To me the biggest system sellers are Zelda, Halo, Gran Tourismo (Europe mostly), Final Fantasy, Smash, and GTA. Those are the types of games people will just buy a console to play it. Then there are other series like AC, COD, Battlefield, TLOU, Uncharted, Mario Platformers, Mario Kart, Madden, FIFA, Forza ect that do sell alot consoles but it is more of a cumulative effect of all the multiplats (or cumlative effect with other exclusives),  but might not move consoles just in themselves.

Bloodborne compares more to the 1st group expect on a much smaller scale.


Ive never heard a PC fan say they were going to buy a PS4 for Bloodborne alone. I've heard them say they were jealous, but thats all. Bloodborne will give Sony a seasonal bump in sales which is not good for Microsoft in any way shape or form. I would expect most gamers it anticipate a summer sale.
