Yep, biggest leak in the history of gaming, PSN revenue and downloads data for SIE-published games from November 11, 2006 to June 11, 2023. Over 16 years.
From the Game Archives re-release of JP-only PS1 game, Crime Crackers 2, to the latest blockbuster release, God of War Ragnarök. Everything is here.

 

[KimDongHwan]

Crazy!

 

[nial]

Gran Turismo 7 at 2.189.753 units on digital, 1 year and 3 months after release.

 

[T-Cake]

Days Gone @ 13 and no sequel. It's a crime.

 

[poppabk]

Can't belive 'Title' is number one and still no word of a sequel.

 

[Jaybe]

Reminder: this is digital sales only from PSN

 

[ManaByte]

Crazy!

 

[adamsapple]

I can't find Legend of Dragoon there

 

[protonion]

IIRC, Spiderman plus Morales sold 33 milion.

If they have 13-14 million downloads, physical is at 20 million!
Is Sony lying with this pie chart that shows physical almost dead?

 

[Jaybe]

Add Ghost Director’s Cut to Ghost of Tsushima, and it’s #2 in LTD revenue on PSN.

 

[LordCBH]

Days Gone @ 13 and no sequel. It's a crime.

It absolutely should get one….

 

[nial]

I can't find Legend of Dragoon there

PS4/PS5 release is at #279 (on revenue) with 73.521 units. Remember that it's also available on PS Plus Premium.
I'll be looking for the PSP, PS3 and PS Vita releases.

Which pie chart? Sony's games sell very well physically. There was a thread a few months ago showing they sell better than digitally (I think).

Oh, yeah that includes all games (3rd party included). And I think it's $ not by units.

 

[nial]

F2P is included as well.

Just a lil reminder that Sony still sees physical games as important.

 

[llLeonhart]

Bloodborne is super high up and still no sequel, no remaster, nothing.

 

[mckmas8808]

You're misunderstanding the chart here. It's also including DLC, microtransactions, and F2P purchases.

What you should be paying attention to is just percentage sales for the core game alone (physically vs. digital)

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

That's...about 60% coming from Live Service BEFORE their big GAAS push?

We're about 3 years away from 90+% revenue coming from GAAS. Mother of God...

 

[Bernoulli]

Motorstorm

I couldn't find modnation racers for ps3 only the vita and psp ports

 

[Banjo64]

Bloodborne is super high up and still no sequel, no remaster, nothing.

Miyazaki would have to be motivated financially (hard for Sony with From coming off the back of a 20m+ seller) and creatively to create a Bloodborne 2. He’s never revisited DeS, don’t see why he would Bloodborne.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

60% Live Service BEFORE their big GAAS push?!

Shows how much of a joke Gaf is when it comes to business-related stuff.

If they generate even more revenue with their GaaS strategy, we will see benefits across the board.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Gravity Rush 2 is above Spiderman remastered. Hell Yeah!!

 

[Damigos]

Seems healthy

I love the GAFers but most can't take the "I like X therefore my assessment must support more X" glasses off. Though clear data like this helps.

We shall see about your second part. Industry is incredibly exciting right now.

 

[diffusionx]

Pain is at 86, sequel when

 

[nial]

Now that I see, Patapon 2 PS4 has its final numbers at 162.242 units as it was digital only worldwide (January 2020-June 2023). Not so bad.

 

[Arsic]

Wild that days gone didn’t get a sequel when you look at this.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Good to see The Last of Us Part 2 doing well.

 

[Loxus]

This will show us Part 3 not Part 2

Part 3 is going to still sell well, people are going to want to know what happens next with Ellie and the infected world if animals get infected.

I expect them to have AI/ML companions like Gran Turismo Sophy AI as well.

Not to mention the graphics and animations with the PS6 version.



Which I believe it should like look this as we are slowly approaching this type of realism with current console hardware being the only limitation.

 

[Loxus]

Wild that days gone didn’t get a sequel when you look at this.

Still possible, was it confirmed what game Bend Studio is currently working on?

They could have two Studios as well.

 

[nosoynadie22]

Even if Days Gone didn't make a lot of money, it seems that a lot of people played it. If they can make a sequel that corrects the errors of the original game and comes out in good condition, they could sell quite well. However, not only Sony, it seems that Bend studio doesn't want to know anything more. from Days gone and its creator is gone

 

[blue velvet]

GT7 is definitely gonna outsell Sport once it's said and done. It might not reach 20 million but my best bet would be 15-17m copies sold world wide. This is the only 1st party IP left from the PS1 era that's still on the top 10. Crazy longevity.

 

[nial]

Horizon Zero Dawn was really popular in East and Southeast Asia.

It will 100% become the best-selling one in the series. Gran Turismo Sport was already very close.

 

[Labadal]

Looking at that chart, my dreams of a new Sly Cooper release have been shattered.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

335k digital copies of Gran Turismo 7 sold in Japan, and around the same time in June 2023 the physical sales were sitting at 317k, but just for the PS5. I think it's nearing 1M units sold in Japan alone when combining PS4 + PS5 (digital & physical).

17./20. [PS5] Gran Turismo 7 # <RCE> (Sony Interactive Entertainment) {2022.03.04} (¥7.900) - 3.559 / 317.672 <80-100%> (+56%)

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Even if Days Gone didn't make a lot of money, it seems that a lot of people played it.

"Days Gone creative director and writer John Garvin said that, if you love a game and want a sequel, you should "buy it at f****** full price." As reported by VGC, Garvin was a guest on God of War creator's David Jaffe's YouTube show and discussed many topics regarding Days Gone and his time in the video game industry."

It didn't generate enough money to warrant a sequel. Lots of revisionist history with that game.

 

[ayokunaj]

This leak is insane

 

[King Dazzar]

Wild that days gone didn’t get a sequel when you look at this.

First thoughts too. Where's our sequel!

 

[bitbydeath]

Wild that days gone didn’t get a sequel when you look at this.

Ghosts is even higher up and hasn’t got a sequel either.

 

[BattleScar]

Bloodborne is super high up and still no sequel, no remaster, nothing.

Just because a game is good, doesn't mean it needs any of these things.

But I guess given how many remakes and remasters there are....
But unnecessary sequels to games which don't need them, are why we have disappointing franchises.

 

[T-0800]

Pain is at 86, sequel when

I bought that. What a weird game that was.

 

[King Dazzar]

Ghosts is even higher up and hasn’t got a sequel either.

Yeah, but there's one in the works isn't there?

 

[hybrid_birth]

Not a first party game but I'm sure this piece of shit sold 5 copies if that.

Potato Sack Racing Simulator 2024

With more than 5 hours of Potato-Tracing technology infused gameplay

store.playstation.com

 

[bitbydeath]

Yeah, but there's one in the works isn't there?

Nothing confirmed yet, Sonys communication has been lacking this gen. Hopefully we hear what they’re both working on soon.

 

[DrFigs]

tlou2 stays winning

 

[Holammer]

Bloodborne is super high up and still no sequel, no remaster, nothing.

FROM was contracted to do Bloodborne and Demon's Souls while they had a rough patch afaik? Today not so much, when they appear to have a Midas touch. Anything they release will sell tens of millions of copies across multiple platforms.

 

[MikeM]

Am I reading this right? Spiderman did $315m in revenue so far???

 

[Perrott]

Man, those VR titles did horribly. Most, if not all, of them surely didn't manage to break even with those numbers. No wonder why the investment in PSVR2 first-party titles is near-zero compared to the prior headset.

It's also pretty clear why they abandoned their indie publishing operations across NA, EU and JP. One or two million dollars (at most) of lifetime revenue aren't worth the pain in the ass.
