Ghost of Tsushima was received so well by the Japanese that they made two of the senior developers Ambassadors to the island.

...And this is why Ubisoft instead pumps out a new Assassin's Creed every year.
But for real, 1.3M sales is profitable for a 2D game. It's not like AAA games which need multi-million sales just to break even. For a 2D game, even 500K sales is enough to make a profit.
Do you know it was profitable?
1.3 million units X $49.99 = $65 million
That's roughly how much gross revenue it generated... I highly doubt the budget, especially for a 2D game, is even a fraction of that amount.
Ubisoft being disappointed is basically like Square Enix being disappointed. A game under-performing doesn't mean it wasn't profitable. It simply means the profit is less than what they projected.
They only get 70% of that though plus marketing cost. Not to mention the game was discounted one month after release so not all copies sold for that price.

It only sold a lot. Not a shitload. So we can't do more of that.
Game is good, I recommend.
That's not that much and most of those sales came after a quick price drop.
Perhaps Sony will be smart and drop PC.
Now is the time to triple down on single platform exclusivity. The war is with Nintendo. One of the fronts has been pacified. It's 1990s style Playstation Versus Nintendo.
Yep. Give people a reason to buy your console and make the Playstation platform worth owning again
1. Have great main console
2. Make a portable console that is to Playstation as the Steam deck is to PC( the important part is that it shares game across all Playstation platforms)
3. Have a couple studios dedicated to the PSVR2. Although it's niche it's a great area for growth
4. Have high quality single player exclusives.
5. Make the next console backwards compatible with all previous Playstation hardware.
Cows have gone from "bu bu xbox studio's games are shit" to begging for them and making them PS No1 pre order titles....the new narrative being...bu bu but they sold more on PS..
But their games were shit! That's why they spent 80 billion dollars acquiring studios that could make games 🤣
So console gamers get ripped for upgrading to the pro when their getting anywhere from 30% to 50% and in some cases nearly 2x the performance but you get to pay over $1000 for 10% ? 🤣🤣
Ill just stick with the PS5 pro until the PS6.
