He isn't wrong. I got TLoU free on the ps4. Free games shouldn't count towards sales. Common sense.



Shadow of colossus remake is my game of the decade, Probably game of the century.



There's a good chance for BOTW to sell around 25m copies at the end of Switch lifetime with that GOTD push.

If you bought it is not free.

If you mean PS+ it doesn't count to sales.

I bought a ps4 at retail MSRP and it came with a free copy of TLoU.  Are you really this obsessed with everything Sony or just purposely being stupid?  Free games are bundled with consoles all the time and no it shouldn't count towards game sales.

As an example, did Wii Sports really sell 45 million copies?  I'll give you another example, I picked up an Xbox S All Digital for $150 this holiday season.  It came with Forza and Sea Thieves download codes.  I tossed the codes and never downloaded the games.  Should those count as sales?

Giving something away for free isn't the same as a sale.

I wonder if BOTW 2 will receive a better score on Metacritic if they're addressing the complain of traditional dungeon and weapon breaking element.



Since when do bundled games not count? Its counts for Mario world, Mario kart 7 and the orginal Mario brothers but doesnt count for last us? which I remember being only bundled during the holidays. Regardless games sales don't make a game better then the other.

Where did you get I am obsessed with everything Sony? Please show me in this conversation where did you get it from.

The guy you jumped to agree with is the one obsessed with pretending to talk facts and actually downplaying TLoU sales for some reason, well, the reason is to try to make BotW sales look better, as if that game even needs any kind of help to begin with.

You then immediatly jumped to call me stupid out of nowhere too.

Not only you have barely even tried to have an actual conversation with me you come to call me a stupid fanboy for no reason whatsoever in your first post quoting me.

Be a little more respectful with people, will you?

Anyway I'm really not fine with your uncalled for rudeness towards me, not that I expected any different coming from you from what I've seen before, but even so...

You'll talking alone from now on.

Pretty much what I figured/expected.  You made a silly comment and can't handle being called out, hence why you didn't even bother answering a single question.  

As for the "stupid" part, well that is quite simple.  You quoted my post acting as though you were confused on how I got TLoU free.   Really dude?  We both know TLoU was bundled for free, drop the (stupid) act.

I think this thread is an odd way of saying you're surprised that a game, that has 30 years worth of history, has some of the highest critic scores and is achieving its best sales for the franchise is being beat by a new IP that is universally acclaimed by the users who played it.

It happens, just accept it and move on.



According to metacritic Zelda Botw Switch version has the highest amount of perfect scores in the history.
