As reported by NPD Group and spotted by our pals at VGC, this means the only first-party Sony titles to top The Last of Us 2 in terms of life-to-date profit are Insomniac's Marvel's Spider-Man and Sony Santa Monica's God of War - and both of those have been out for considerably longer than Naughty Dog's highly anticipated sequel. It addressed exactly what you said, which was based on feelings and not any solid data at all. It's likely that the game made what it needed to in those first 4 million unit sales and everything else was pure profit. It's a better guess than assuming it is "probably the least profitable game made by ND in the last 15 years or so". |
VGC article states life-to-date dollar sales, not profits. So not sure where Eurogamer is getting that. Must be a typo on their end. I tried googling if NPD stated anything about profit and they did not, so you're article doesn't prove anything about profit. However, it also doesn't prove that its the least profitable. |
The article uses data. That's the point. We can argue profit vs revenue all day (which is generally silly anyway, given how these companies judge their products). It was the 3rd highest grossing game for Sony upon release. |
Agreed. It was the 3rd highest grossing game at that time, not 3rd most profitable (cant prove this unless Sony makes any kind of statement which the likely wont). Which is the point I was trying to make.
