Good thing they arent owned by Microsoft then, as Stella Blade wouldnt have a chance against getting the axe given what happened to Tango Gameworks.

The perpetually braindead coomers turning on the game as soon as it came out probably didn't help.

comparing how one game sold compared to another is a poor metric to go by as to whether it's a flop, or not.

it only makes sense if the other game also sold little/ a lot.

Physical sales are even lower in Japan than the US. The fact that it was still the top-selling game of the week is still a good thing.

There's not much concrete info out there.

According to a few places, based on its pre-orders it should be over a million though.

The PS5 is the only console Sony has ever made. They didn't make the PS2, a legendary console sales wise, which the PS5 outsold.

He spent $600+ on a PS5 and the game literally just because of the horny and then decided the game was mid.

I think that really just spells out everything you need to know about Marth without even going into his shitposting history.

What's the deal with people these days thinking they have a god damn right to pressure devs to release info before they are good and ready.

The game looks to be doing great. Sorry you are upset at dropping $600 on a PS5 for it to be disappointed. I'd be upset as well if that were me. Good news is most people are loving the game.

Just wait for the officials numbers from Sony to come out to see whether or not it performed at expectation or not. Depending on the budget, even selling millions of copies can still put you in the red. Speculation are just that, speculations.

With that said, for a triple A game like Stellar Blade...you don't really hear a whole lot about it other than the "controversies", but never about the actual game itself. The boards that I do visit that do talk about this game (if the conversation ever shows up) are even calling the game from good to mid, with many people calling it the poor mans "Sekiro" or "Nier Automata". With that said, you gotta give it to the dev team that was only known for making predatory mobile games, they manage to create a solid game with little to no bugs and have great performance that looks this good.
DI MOLTO!
