UPDATED: Sony exclusives have sold more than you think

UPDATED: Added all Sony exclusives I could find with sales numbers

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I notice a lot of people here who claim despite PS4's high hardware sales most of the exclusives sell very little/have a very low attachment rate.

Doing a little research, I found:

Killzone: Shadow Fall (2013) sold 2.1 million copies by January 2014:

There are no confirmed sales numbers for:

Knack

Knack 2

Littlebigplanet 3

The Order: 1886

Until Dawn

Ratchet and Clank

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

Pretty good numbers I'd think. Not as high as some Nintendo exclusives (Mario Kart, Smash, Zelda) but still very good.

Thanks. That's it, I guess...

You're welcome...?

I suppose?

I though God of war and spiderman sold more than that...at least in the media they made it look like it sold more...

You can bet your ass that if XBox could move titles like the ps4 has, it would have exclusives.

@watercrack445: We dont know what GoW sold, only that it sold 5 million in it's first month. And 9 million in 4 months is pretty solid.

@fedor: compared to multiplayer live service games it's not that good. Live service games have more options to make more money, the units sold and "extra" money from microstransations. Battlefield which sold 7 million can easily catch up and outperform spider man because the microstransations and that is not a good sign. At least for me

Battlefield has nothing to do with Microsoft though.

These games were all funded by Sony, are exclusive to Sony, and the studios that created them are 75% owned by Sony.

Who thought that they didn't sell well? They've been considered a success by both Sony and the devs and they'll all have sequels.

People on this forum.

Umm, ok? I’m pretty sure that everyone knew this already.

Thank you for this useless information. When can we expect your next thread on more pointless facts?

Mostly lemmings, which have no exclusives.

Damn, nice alt. Pedro or SecretPolice?

God of War II and III sold only one million in their first months. I had a feeling most of these people aren't fans. Now I know. I'm sure most fans aren't fond of it. I'm certainly not. The lesson is, selling out works. **sad face**

@watercrack445: How many platforms battlefield is on?

@ezekiel43: It would be cool if the next GOW gave you the option to play through the game in both the old overhead and new over the shoulder perspectives. Don't know if that would be possible gameplay design wise, but if it worked well than that may appease some longtime fans.

Why, they get banned?

@ezekiel43: unfortunately I have to say I’m a fan of the new style over the old ones. I’m pretty sure god of War 3 still sold really well though.

I doubt it's either, but it for sure as hell is not SP. Not his style.

Exactly. No GIFs were posted lol.

These are low sales for movies Sony Pictures must not be happy.

I think people say that because of Nintendo. PS best sellers struggle to sell as much as Nintendo's with only a fraction of the install base.

@phbz: that’s because people buy Nintendo consoles for those select few exclusives. Every time. There’s not as much choice on Nintendo hardware as Sony hardware when it comes to games.

Poor cows. I hate his gifs

@i_p_daily: oh geez

Have you fallen & can't get back up?

Here let me help you by hitting the reverse button :)

@Chutebox: You think SP's are bad, wait till you see mine ha.

All those games sold even more than that.

Driveclub has something insane like 10-11 million sold.

@ajstyles: Are you sure about that?

Meanwhile EA is bitching about ONLY 7.3 million BFV copies sold.

Are they really considered low sales for exclusives, though?

@shurns: in his world, sure

and none of these numbers are official. counting on bullshit and fanboy math to guess sales.

Stupid piece of shit sony cant even give out numbers for their games.

the reason? because they dont want nintendo to look better than them. that has to be it.

@KBFloYd: Sony gave updates on these games, that’s why the articles were written...

"updates"? more like overall numbers....vague numbers.

why not give their exact numbers out like nintendo? what are they trying to hide? that their exclusives get shit on by nintendo? or what?

Well yeah, as just about every one is watching them for free on YouTube :(

oh wait. i see spiderman numbers where given out.

uncharted exact number is MIA

horizon zero dawn is from 2YEARS AGO where is the update sony?

no numbers from god of war???

---

so you made this thread because sony announced spiderman numbers??

and then you got those other articles to make your thread cooler?

lol

@KBFloYd: all of those were real numbers. Was 8 million in a year for horizon not good enough for you? For a new single player IP with a female lead? Has Nintendo done that yet?

@KBFloYd: What is the number of Nintendo exclusive at least we get some numbers here once you got number we will talk

exactly nintendo releases EXACT numbers for all their software and hardware.

Those numbers are from a week ago when nintendo had its financial report.

here is a video version

Those numbers seem pretty small, considering that the PS4 is approaching 100 million sales...

Nintendo exclusive number will always high because of the limited number of the games and most of the games are published by Nintendo itself so no point comparing them.
