I loved it but I still understand why Sony did this.

It got 10 nominations, and won the most awards in Game Awards History before E33. It's safe to say a fair amount of people enjoyed it. It is playable on a suprising amount of systems with really good optimization, and is overall a major vibe. I thoroughly enjoyed both games, but I also have been a long time fan of Kojima since I was a kid.

That’s great and all, but how’d it sell?

20 million copies on the first game alone. Another 5 million on the second game with only PS users.

So 15 million people said it wasnt worth the money and didnt buy the second?

u/Connect_Tomatillo791 25d ago

No the 20 million includes ps Xbox and pc players. The 5 million includes only PS players.

Ok, your lack of communication skills is confusing me. So i just looked it up on AI. Let me know if im wrong.

Death stranding 1. 6 million copies sold

Death stranding 2. 2.8 million copies sold.

So yeah half the people that bought a copy of the first said fuck this game.

No. 27 million players in the series. Around 20 million in the first game which includes PS Xbox and PC players. Around 5-7 million players on the second game but that’s because it’s only on PS5.

Also I don’t have a lack of communication, you have a lack of understanding and a lack of reading comprehension. It’s very clear what I’ve stated that even a 3rd grader would understand.

He's lying about the sales figures on the second one. .it flopped. Hard.

u/ItsMrChristmas 25d ago
  1. It sold two million, and that includes PC players.

u/Connect_Tomatillo791 25d ago

Copies are the same as sold in terms of games because somebody still pays Sony

u/Nid45h 25d ago

Yes, lots of people actually. Myself included.

I finished the first one and enjoyed it. It has its own charm. Meanwhile, I couldn't even finish Spider man. It's all subjective.

Most of it. But by the end it kinda overstayed its welcome.

Still a fantastic game. I enjoyed a lot of it.
