Again, those were very high initial sales as I mentioned, but the drop off has been tremendous and the game has one of the lowest player retentions compared to other major Sony IPs this gen.
errrr not really man. I think you seem to want it to seem as if "the drop off has been tremendous" when this is typically normal with single player titles like this. Selling something wild like 7 million units in a month (that we know of mind you) isn't normal. Its not something to really be trying to spin as this doom and gloom when very little evidence really points to that, this game is currently the fastest selling Playstation game in history, based on this so called "tremendous" drop, it shouldn't even fucking be in July's NPD top 10, yet....its number 4.
What other games have released were the "drop off has been tremendous" ?

Sir....when one of the best selling games of all time has such a drop and then clearly goes on to keep selling, maybe, just maybe we shouldn't put too much stock in % dropped as that doesn't really tell you whats going to happen to a game in terms of overall sales.
Here's how it compares to other major releases.

I remember when folks tried making a "tremendous" deal about Battlefront 2015 dropping in sales thinking they could desperately hold on to the gloom wishes......the game went on to become the best selling Star Wars game in history. So much for that "tremendous" drop.
