Based on this, how many consoles will realistically be sold by Sony for people that just want to play this game?
Not sure how many people would buy a PS4 just to play this.
It's more like people who got caught up in the hype and bought a PS4 at launch will finally have something to play.
Oh, they're out there - or at least they say they're out there.
Xeo, I personally don't give a fig about sales - but you know who does? Sony. Is this game going to sell 1 million PS4 consoles if it's an exclusive? I somehow doubt it. Popular or not, the Souls series is still a niche title, and out of the current 7 million PS4 owners, it's a bit foolish to assume that even half of them will pick this up. If I was Sony I would be tapping into the installed PS3 sales base as much as I could to sell and grow my IP.
