Sony Sony inadvertently leaks player counts for PS4 titles

[Jason]

Personalized PSN videos and trophy data combine for massive data dump.

Since I don't care about Fifa, my failure to understand how popular those games are doesn't shock me.

 

I am impressed that The Last of Us did so well on the PS4.

[Rodimus]

3 years of Fifa on the top 5. That sport has its dedicated fans.  I kind of thought we saw these on a list Sony created but not using the numbers recently.

So why the secrecy over this data to begin with? Publishers don't want that out in the open?

That stuff is super interesting.

Corporate humble brag?

Yes.

They want to hide their 5th most popular game is a Microsoft game.

Aside from the very top games, those numbers actually seem kind of underwhelming?

There are a shit ton of people that only play a few games on their console. They might buy the new fifa or 2k but they’re not seeking out all these other games for the most part.

Whether we like it or not, the vast majority of games sell rather poorly.  And sales/profits are concentrated  into a very few AAA games.  I believe it speaks to the relative disappearance of the second tier game.
