Seems not terribly great
But eh, the bean counters probably got an extra 40M or whatever so they’ll still consider it free money

Yikes, low but expected. The PC gaming market is very different from the console space.

There are games that appeal to both audiences, Spider Man is certianly not one of them.

Fuck PC. Might as well release Sackboy on the Switch. Would sell more than Insomniac’s entire PC sales.

As someone on Neogaf once wrote eloquently - the most beautiful girl in a small town moved to a big city and wondered why no-one noticed her.

I'd be interested to see the sales figures if their games had copy protection, like all other big releases. People know they can download Sony games day 1 for free on pc.
I also suspect that a lot of PC gamers also own consoles, and so have already played most of these games.

If you look at that graph you can physically see the hype of PC players getting playstation games with horizon. Maybe that tarnished their experience.
These are not great sales numbers at all, considering. I expected much more. Especially when keys can be purchased for peanuts.

That's the price you pay for releasing them 2 or 3 years later.
By that time anyone who wanted to play that game already played it on console.
But if you release them Day 1 on PC then there's no incentive to get the console, so if they're not willing to do Day 1 releases might as well not release them at all, doesn't seem to be worth it.

Is it worth the hassle of porting?

Sony games belong to the most pirated games on pc. Sony is one of the few devs who are completely drm free but they get punished for it.
Anyway this cant be excused, any trash survival game on pc is selling more than those can't be it.

its not fake, literally over a million files got stolen form insomniac and the hackers posted them on the dark web. they've made their way here. They asked for Ransom and I guess Sony didnt pay

If everyone plays them on consoles if they release it later on pc than that means porting isn't worth it because why should Sony care if most pc players plays them on ps5, in fact they don't have to share revenue with valve. They are in a lose lose situation here.

UC4 is also the worst one when visuals are taken out of the equation. I bet a UC1-3 collection would do better.
Thats doesnt mean anything, TLOU is also not here and prob sold almost a million on pc.

You know your sales are really bad, when everyone hopes the numbers are fake.

Some of them is in line with what we know. Don't worry sony will carry on on pc despite the bad sales numbers. But its kinda funny that one reason for them to release on pc in the first place was to get an audience for their gaas games and they are massively scaling their gaas games back now. Even as a decade long pc gamer this ports have done more harm.

Hmm, maybe. Still looks fake because of the things I pointed out. Who drew on that shit with pointers? Why would Insomniac have this crap? Why are the date range wrong?yes it does

Yeah I am not bothered about the numbers, I don't care if they sell well on PC, it's the other things that look fake.

Yeah, the whole PC ports thing was Jim Ryan trying to squeeze every penny from every game they own. Probably after these results and now that Jim is retired they will reevaluate the port strategy.

It was a stupid strategy. These games don’t sell on pc. Stop wasting time and resources. Move on.

I mean these games are all old hat by the time they are released on PC. What do you expect? If you are hardcore into Sony games you have a PS5. I actually think they would sell a lot more copies of their games if they launched day one on PC as well, but it would probably hurt PS5 sales and take dollars out of their storefront

Sony games sell 10-20 million copies, so yes, the games are very popular.

Alot of my steamfriends play literally nothing else but unfinished unoptimized survival games which are also mostly the same. So sadly sales and quality don't always go hand in hand.

Not on PC they aint.
Yea I don't get them people, but they're probably more interesting experiences than Horizon Zero Dawn tbh.

Well in that case I guess they can stop porting the games to PC and nobody will complain right?

You can say that about most PC ports.

I'm a little confused by all the messages, first thing, most of the games are around 2-3 years old, even more for some, each game is sold at full price (especially the latest ones) and the big games are at least at 1 million sales, so?
Obviously, it's not as high as on console, but the numbers seem pretty logical to me, not incredible, not bad either.
It would be interesting to see the sales if Sony decides to put their games day 1 on PC.

So Uncharted, Miles and Sackboy were not released yet at the time this graph was made.
These definitely don't look high but say they make "only" 30 USD per copy, that's 264.000.000 USD for 4 games that costed what 5-8 million to port per game? If you add the other games, we might talk about 400.000.000 USD in profit for old games that nobody buys anymore on console, release late on PC and cost them nothing to make. Had they not butcher TLOU release, they might be close to half a billion in profit. No company will look at half a billion and say "Yeah not worth it", especially when their main market is breaking all sort of record regardless of PC Port.
But hey, Fanboys gonna fanboys so enjoy that one
Also, if you want more sale, you know what to release (Bloodborne) and what to do for future games Sony (Day and Date).

I think it's pretty obvious that Sony need to either, release games on day 1...or kind of not even bother...their sales are declining at a rapid rate. Their ports have been of poor quality, to the point it's almost pointless now.
I think they gave it a good shot and the PC market just isn't interested and sales are on the decline. Just leave those games to console and push the envelope there.
