The first game is packed In heavy and always on sale just for comparison gow ragnarok in 1 year 15 million in sales, spider man 2 is at 11 million sold through after 8 months. Horizon forbidden west after 1 year is 8.4 million. It's big but it's nearly the biggest Playstation franchise the revenue for horizon is very telling and they are desperate to push the character. |
This sounds pretty divorced from reality no lies.
You should know that Sony of all companies is not going to waste their time and effort pushing a character if the associated game isn't seeing actual movement with the demographic they're targeting.
This weird narrative to consistently downplay the Horizon IP and Aloy is baffling to say the least.
| curl-6 said: I think Horizon has done very well for a relatively young IP, not many such games reach 8 figures on their first try. |
I'm not sure it reaches those numbers, considering the popularity of Star Wars. But, Aloy has made an appearances in both Fortnite and Genshin (and I think there was a MHW crossover event too), so there's def an audience who will know who she is.
I do think the game does need to review well though, which makes me wonder what kind of replayability it has. On the surface it looks like a potential dungeon crawler, but is presented in a more narrative focused campaign.
