Oh how much you cows fail to take into account, tsk, tsk, tsk...
The PlayStation 4 has been barren in terms of exclusive games, and the ones it has had have been.... Well you know, not exactly great.
Bloodborne was selling the way it was predominantly because hype and there being nothing else. People who don't like Souls games and knew this wouldn't change with Bb still bought it, including myself.
The craze has worn off, the impulse sales have ceased, people have seen it, people have played it, word of mouth has spread to those who were on the fence and didn't like Souls games and now they know for sure they still will not...
This games run as a mainstream product has come to an end, you should see the level at which this game is being traded in. There were 13 used copies at the closest GameStop to me, there are another four stores within 5 miles of it and I'm sure it's just as bad there.
Thinking this game was going to appeal to that 99th percentile was a pipe dream, they hate it, they don't want it, they're getting rid of it. Check your local Craigslist, I'll bet it's littered with people offloading this game, mine is.
It's still niche, it's still only liked by the people who liked the other games and still despised by the people who didn't. Nothing has changed, the only thing this game accomplished is mass marketing and hype to bring in sales from people hoping this game would be different just to find out it's not...
It's not a bad game and it has its place in the market, but you people need a dose of fucking reality. Normal people don't like this kind of game, they essentially got suckered into buying it and are getting rid of it at an alarming rate...
Those high sales numbers posted, they won't continue in any capacity, the mainstream interest surrounding this game is no more.
