Sony hopes Spider-Man will push PS4 to 100M units

Well Sup Forums can the web head do it? Given the current popularity of the MCU, everyone and their father will want to play this game.

gamingbolt.com/can-spiderman-really-push-ps4-sales-past-100-million

What other Marvel heroes do you want to see games from?

>spiderman selling 40m
lol

>“Well, like I tell my sales guys, the first 60 million is the easy 60 million. To get to [100 million], it’s about how do we grow the pie?”
>“But for us in the US I think the biggest chance we have to broaden that pie is with a game like Spider-man,”
Do you even read the clickbait you post?

>press x to hero
>selling 40 million consoles
are sonyfags really this delusional?

Has ANY game sold more than 40mil on PS4?

So now we know why Sony are in serious debt. they know fuck all about running a business.

Why are Sonyfags hyping up this game so much?
It's literally just a reskinned Bamham game but with Spiderman instead and it somehow still manages to look even worse.

Spiderman won't make it sell over 100 million but remember that Sony has great third party support such as KH3, VII remake, Code Vein, Dragon Ball, Ace Combat, MH World, etc and games such as God of War, Shadow of the Colossus remake, etc.

100+ million PS4 consoles sold is a given.

Fuck Marvel.
I want a Green Lantern game where you can choose which fraction you're on and go to space war with the other lantern corps.

>hyping up a Spiderman game only because it's exclusive

We've hit rock bottom

I think PS4 is the worst console right now, but I gotta admit Sony really nailed the appealing to normalfags shit this gen. Their fans being almost walking advertisements also didn't hurt. Credit where credit is due.

>I think PS4 is the worst console right now

I guess you mispelled Xbone but that's ok.

I hate Spider-Man, but shit looks fun as fuck. I'll buy it.

>literally who: the games

The Punisher.

Doesn't the chinks fucking love spiderman for no fucking reason?

>literally who: the games

No idea if you're just a plain idiot or being sarcastic

>hating based Spidey
>liking this garbage tier "game"

I shiggy diggy do

This is what you wanted, isn't it?

Cry about it.

Obviously, yes

>sonyfags not understanding market saturation

The wii was lucky because smart phones were just getting their legs.

PS4 is going to sell over 100 million no matter what happens. It's been an inevitability ever since M$ and the No Games One decided that repeatedly punching themselves in the dick was a viable business strategy.

>Not realizing they aren't tackling America so much as China.

The PS3, with all the horrendous issues it had with it's launch and lifespan still managed to do 80M in 7 years, why can't the PS4 manage to hit 100M considering it hit 60M in under 4 years?

Fifa 18 will sell more than all of those combined.

Face it Sonybros. Fifa and cod will push your garbage system to 100m units alone.

If GTA gets another version then it will get to 120 million. The PS4 is still a piece of fucking shit. And I say this while I'm literally playing one as I type this

Why so butthurt bro?

>PS4 is a piece of shit and yet i'm playing one right now xDDD

Then they should have copied Arkham Asylum in a better way.

I hope Sony fully fails, just like they have already failed with almost all of their Spiderman movies.

GIVE ME IRON MAN

Sales are still going up for the PS4, as the price goes down. The slim model is already $249. PS4 now must be near 65-70m, it'll naturally be 100m in two and a half years, if it keeps momentum. Spider-Man will only be released late 2018 / early 2019, by that time the number of consoles should be around 85-90m worldwide.

The console literally is the PS2-2.

Then why isn't it called Spidel man?

What the fuck is wrong with normies

>KH3
>Code Vein
>Dragon Ball
>Ace Combat
>MH World
All of these will look and run better on the Xbone X or PC. There's no reason for someone to buy a PS4 for these unless they want to play the inferior versions.

I have a feeling KH3 and VII won't be released for ps4

They keep falling for marketing that is based on nothing but hype time and time again and Sony mastered that craft.

Those will sell the best on PS4

Xbots don't care for weeab games, PC is full of fags who only play DOTA 2 and that garbage.

how did ps3 sell more than 360 when it had no games in the first year, hell the first 3 years

The PS3 was a cheap bluray player, dont underextimate how many sales that earned it and the PS2 for dvds. Thats not a draw anymore so its just a netflix machine that everyones TV/roku can already do when its not gaming.

I have a ps3, but the ps4 is an awful upgrade for a media center. Somehow xbox became the best console for that for a number of reasons.

how did ps4 sell more than Xbone when it had no games in the first year, hell the first 3 years

Cable, it would be something like a modern day Psi-Ops with a little more action.

>The PS3 was a cheap bluray player,

No, it wasn't

Does that count Pro sales?

Because thats retarded if it does.
>hey all these people upgraded their hardware it totally counts as more people!

Not him but yes it was. When it came out a bluray player by itself was almost the same price.

>hurr im an idiot
Go back to 2006 and try again retard.

All other companies literally do the same user. The PS4 just has the most games and the most appeal.

They were still expensive, and people still watched movies on DVD's, hell, lots of people are still watching DVD's.

>A recent remark by PlayStation America boss Shawn Layden pointed to Spider-Man as Sony’s biggest potential hit to broaden the appeal of the PS4 to wider audiences and demographics

Go damn they want my grandma to get a ps4 the madmen!

Any console sold adds to the total. Since when has this never been the case?
The 3DS has 8 different models and they all count for the same thing. The PS4 is going to pass it with less iterations and less years on the market soon.

Yes but relatively. If you were in the market for a bluray player when the ps3 was launched there was literally no reason to buy one over a PS3.

I don't think so, even the PS3 struggled a lot to sell at lauch. People weren't really that interested in Blu-Ray.

>PS4 to 100M units
lol

>I don't think so
I don't care what you think you teenage faggot, the rest of us were there and remember it.

Ok....

Should we not count the X360s that were sold to people who bought new ones after their consoles RRoD'd or the multiple 3DS revisions, including the New 3DS which was a literal hardware revision that added new buttons and more power to be sold to old 3DS owners too?

The wii didnt.
I'm just saying they need to stop acting retarded when they sell "100m units" and only get 2 mill in game sales.

For fucks sake the NES had 60 million and that was before gaming was even popular like it is today where every single person has to be playing whether its on a phone, tv screen or monitor.

Absolutely, pretending an upgrade is another user is a bad marketing tactic since servers going down on launch to get free publicity. Its bad because it leads to situation above where huge devs dont make enough money because their projections are so fucking skewed.

>pretending an upgrade is another user is a bad marketing tactic and as bad as the shitters who use servers going down on launch to get free publicity

Damn I cant type, missed an entire part of my sentence.

>sony
>in debt
When?

The biggest misconception people have is that the X360 sold more than PS3. That was only true for the first year. Once Playstation got their PS digital store, trophies, weeb games, PS+ and started marketing the "instant games collection", the tide started to shift. MGS4 announcement and exclusives like Uncharted 2, God of War 3 and inFamous brought a lot of people on board.

i think the highest selling exclusive was uncharted and that didnt even reach 9 million

>he doesnt know sony is more than just playstation
Theres a reason you dont see sony phones or TVs anymore.
The camera and finance divisions are doing alright though compared. Finance especially.

I worked a circuit city back then and yea people bought it for the bluray. PS3 was the casual machine. Why is that hard for niggers to believe?

I want them to start a MCU for video games.

You can pinpoint the retards that visit this board by checking the posters that, after reading that news article, think Sony expects Spider-Man to sell 40m.

It shows a severe lack of reading comprehension.

What about multiplat?
Does cod sell on ps4?

It just sold more in in the US. It also took more than a year to catch up. Xbox live was far better than psn for a few years there desu.

I completely agree, I'm just saying people here sometimes think the USA scenario accuratelly reflects what happened in other parts of the world. Europe has been Playstation territory for more than a decade, Xbox 360 had no presence in Japan even though the PS3 wasn't selling very well there, Latin America was leaning more towards X360 but still had a good amount of PS3s after they released the first slim model etc.

highest selling overall game is GTA V at about 15 million

looks fun

Anything that isn't FIFA or Madden isn't worth mentioning when it comes to the ps4. I feel bad for consolewar faggots and especially sonyshills.. Sad losers.

you might as well say the same thing for every console

What have you been playing this year in your platform of choice while Sony fans had like 8+ exclusives and all multiplats to choose from?

Their fiance division is what makes the most money. They're far from being "in debt"

Deadpool
:^)

So many retards in this thread who are misinterpreting what Sony said.

The video games that have been released so far are normal video games that cater to the same people. But with Spider-man being exclusive to PS4, Sony now has a chance to cater to a specific broader demographic.
This is simple logic.

Why are you pretending madden sells well? Fifa is the only sports games that sells over 10 mill consistently because football is the biggest sport

They were in the red for a long time with almost all their divisions floundering around them.

Maybe if you could read you would know I wasnt talking about the current situation but before they started to pull their shit together.

>sony
>in debt
>When?
When they were in debt. They wised up since then and are starting to let others do all the hard work while they reap benefits.

>Europe has been Playstation territory for more than a decade,
UK was 360 clay though.

what's with that spiderman suit. don't tell me they are making him have web shooting machines

>hurr

We all know that idiot. What demographic will spiderman be for? Because last I checked ps4 already had them all covered. Thats why it has 60 million sales

And that's just one nation

It's also 25% of relevant Europe.

If it's good a sm2 it will to bad it won't be.

It is though. PS4 hardware is fucking garbage.

Nigger it's $250. What the fuck do you want?

And it too is PS4 territory

Still way better and more powerful than the Switch

As is everywhere, but we were talking about ps3/360 you homo.

No you are wrong. A lot of these games doesn't require Sony's platform. This game caters to people who doesn't have a PS4 and who loves spider-man. I am talking about the kiddies who only have their smartphone or who only have an xbox, toaster pc or a handheld console.

That is quite a big market and there is bound to be a sizeable chunk who has public blind love for a big franchise like spider-man.

It is quite a big opportunity. Even if it only sells them 2 million consoles it is still very very helpful for Sony in their current position.

Nah Marvel comics are shit. If you like Marvel garbage buy a gun and shoot yourself.

why

>More powerful than a handheld using a mobile chip

Wow Impressive

It is tho

Playstation's biggest exclusive is Uncharted 4 with 8 million units, and that was in a fucking huge bundle, what the fuck makes them think that they're gonna get 100M units off this thing? It would have to be one of the biggest-selling games of ALL TIME for it to do that good.

Marvel = Better heroes
DC = Better villains
But good villain > good hero

The failure in basic reading comprehension is astounding.

>I am talking about the kiddies who only have their smartphone or who only have an xbox, toaster pc or a handheld console.
But no one has an xbox. Are you even paying attention? PS4 already won, this wont do anything. because its marketed specifically for normies who have literally always been sonys target on the ps4 since the xbox flopped so hard.

GoW and LoU2 will on the other hand because they will draw gamers from other platforms. A silly capeshit game wont move units like so many are pretending.

Oh wait I forgot how batman was totally crucial to the sales of last gen.

Pre-Gold/Blue 80s X-Men Inferno/Mutant Massacre NYC Open World Co-op Brawler.

Underage.

Not him but I literally bought a PS3 so I could play Arkham City. I had sworn off vidya for a couple years prior to that i was busy being addicted to heroin
