Sucks that they aren't obligated to update us about Astro, Helldivers and other franchises in general. The lack of flex bothers me lol.

May wanna get used to that lol. Sony's CFO announced they're no longer focusing on "sell-in units" and instead focusing on "engagement" and "MAU"

Also said a PS5 price hike may be imminent. Although they are thinking about moving PS manufacturing to the US.

Yep the times of knowing sales after the quarter where the games were released are over.

I just hope they make a offline patch for GT7 like they did with Sport when they release a new GT.

Speaking of racing games - 126 hours into Driveclub lol



The $99 version of Destiny 2: Year of the Prophecy is still PSN #1 in preorders for many strong territories after one week and one day of opening. The internet loves to hate on Destiny but it seems they also really like to play Destiny when no one is watching, their guilty pleasure LOL.

That Star Wars colab is cooking.

I pray for another "Insomniac leak" sales/revenue reveal in the future lol.

Thats understandable.

I'm wondering if these statistics would affect a publisher's decision whether to greenlight a sequel or another game within that franchise.

Wonder if that may be the reason why we havent seen a new Devil May Cry game since 2019 (that isnt a port or a remaster I mean) from Capcom.

Oh there was that one mobile jank spinoff that was released in the 2020s but eh...

Hmm, completion rates for games are typically low. It's going to go even lower for any game or edition that is put on a subscription service too. I wouldn't read much into it.

DmC5 has sold 10m, albeit slowly. Its initial sales were solid but not by especially impressive but it's end tally is, so we'll get a sequel for sure.

I just don't think Capcom were in a rush to create a new one, especially when something like RE or Monster Hunter is a bigger franchise and more well oiled machine. 



Just did mission 2 in DMC5 SE

That mission took me 1 whole hour - granted I was exploring around lol.

All the red orbs I spent on upgrading my vitality/health - forgot about Air Hike which is always the first ability I get in every DMC game lol

I managed to get SS Rank in battle with the limited move set which was nice. Was about to get SSS but killed all the enemies in the battle :(

First boss was pretty cool

Level design so far much better than DMC4.  This is my first RE Engine game and the visuals and design is awesome.

The devil arms are a nice addition, the Mega Man buster one is hilarious. Love fan service stuff like that.

Gonna do Human mode of Mission 2 to farm red orbs and to see if I missed anything.

This is shaping up to be my favorite DMC game - right now DMC3 is my favorite.



what a shame that sony refuses to disclose Astro’s sales figures. :( For all we know, the bot hit 8mil…or 2mil. It was off to a really strong start with 1.5mil in its first few months. Alinea projects figures of around 2.3mil as of March 2025.



My playthrough of driveclub has hit 129 hours which makes it my #2 most played game on Playstation - beating out FFXV which I had 127 hours in.

I've also finished the RPM Trophy races and am on Lamborghini Icons. So that makes 8 out of 20 of the DLC trophy races finished.
