Deja vu. 2011 PS3 Feb: Killzone 3, LBP 2 March: Infamous 2, MotorStorm: Apocalypse September/October (Don't remember exactly): Resistance 3 November: Uncharted 3
We know how many of those games flopped (a lot) so its likely that so many games will likely not all sell well. And all in all I'm also counting third-party exclusives, though I understand that Sony doesn't have control over them. |
ehh, the problem is, you're attributing "flop"(ing) with releasing too many in the same year.
In reality, the problem is that while those games carry a certain weight of being big releases,
Motorstorm was not a poular franchise, similarly to lbp, and resistance...who's popularity in sales generally came from being early release titles for the platform and were generally not "great" games.
Killzone 3 ran into the problem of not being as good as 2, similarly with uncharted, though uncharted 3 sold well.
Not to be disparaging, but I think you're overthinking it.
TBH, the only games in 2016 that will sell really well are uncharted 4, GT (if released), and maybe last guardian.
Don't expect too much from the other games. R&C might see a resurgence from the lapse between titles, but R&C has never been a huge seller.
SF is a game in a declining genre. Gravity Rush.... maybe 2m if it's lucky. Last Guardian is a complete toss up. It could sell 4m, or could be another Order1886.
Playstation titles don't tend to be blockbusters. They sell relatively well, but they've never been really solid.
However, third party (historically sony exclusives) like ff15 will crush. Just like mgs5 will do this year.
