    Proof that gamers have no spine (once again. See also Switch 2 and PS5 sales) and that online discourse holds no prediction of real world value.

      What?? 2M is not a good number for a first-party Sony game. For example, God of War 2018 estimated to have sold 4M on PC alone.

      They’re just having a shit year overall, so 2M is their best.

      You think this id a good number? One of the reasons Sony dropped Kojima is supposedly that DS2 “only” sold 2M.

        Tbf all of this bad press and 1.9 mil = maximum $120 million on a $300 million budget IS an extreme $180 million loss (so far)

        Who among us can truly know what numbers lie in the hearts of AAA publisher executives? Mark my words, mere consumers can’t even begin to guess the immense scale of these numbers. They are numbers of cosmic magnitude we do not comprehend. Verily, even the executives in question have even vaguest idea of what they are actually asking for, unaware of the true import of their demands.
