"It's a hugely impressive performance for a relatively unknown franchise. To put its success into context, the game's first three weeks on sale is only 28% lower than what Sony's Spider-Man 2 achieved during its first three weeks on sale last year."
So yes its a massive unmitigated and completely unexpected mega hit. I think the real question is how do evaluate future projects when you have one project costing 315 million to make and another costing 50 million to make. So the caveat is that Spiderman is clearly more profitable because of the slightly higher volume and higher MSRP but when it comes to ROI or Return on Investments, Helldivers blows Spiderman out of the multiverse. Which is better?
I think ROI is better at lower investments and clearly straight profit will trump anything. Like if GTA 6 cost a billion but makes 3 billion, its ROI will be less than Helldivers 2, but at those numbers no one cares (Tippling 1 billion is better than quadrupling 500 million...).
