Every year Time Magazine releases a list of the most innovative and inventive technology. Although 2020 has been very different for many people, it has still had a good number of new inventions. In the Entertainment category we find two of the newest generation of consoles.
Ruffy and the Riverside is a puzzle game that is clever in its presentation and made all the better by its gameplay and art design.

"“launch sales were ~66% lower than Death Stranding 1"
Maybe he'll put this franchise to rest now and do something new (which I know he is thankfully)
Not to hate if you enjoy these games but they weren’t for everyone and it puzzles me that he did a sequel rather than doing Physint next or even an actual P.T like game.
I just feel he's trying to make Death Stranding a thing, like as big as Metal Gear Solid and it's just not going to happen.
“Maybe he'll put this franchise to rest now and do something new”
He is making new things, so I don’t see what the problem is. Game reviewed better than the first. It has its fans and served its purpose.
At its core, it’s just not a very commercial game. Takes work, which might turn off casuals.
I might never get around to trying the DS games but good on him for doing what he wants, trying new things, taking risks etc
Probably not, the sales won't be much lower than the first game. And its a critical success

It's selling well digitally you can't compare it to sales of ps4 game because even back than digital wasn't the be all end all like it is today now. With GTA6 delayed DS2 is the game to beat for GOTY
Split fiction and Clair Obscure already have it beat in critic scores.
So does Forza Horizon PS5 :/
Geoff Keighley basically sucks off Kojima and Sony - so yes, it’ll probably be GOTY even though Expedition 33 is better
Cant really compare those. Ones the best RPG since baldurs gate 3. Ones the next game from a game of the year studio and ones the best racing game on Xbox. To score 90 is still very, very good
This is the UK physical charts. This doesn't count digital at all which are the bulk of the sales and a much larger share than they would have been 6 years ago. For example, its the number one game on PSN.
I think he would be happy with your reaction. Remember, he stated that his goal was not to make a hit game loved by everyone. He would have been happy with 4/10 people liking it.
He is making what he wants to make... not what will be the biggest smash hit. He has stated this on MANY, MANY occations. And I think this is okay. I would rather people chase what they want to make as opposed to making money.
However, if you poke your head over on PSN... it looks like its selling just fine.
About the sequel, he ALREADY stated that even though he has a script for a potential DS3, it is not his intention to make another one directly.
Literally this. And its massively improved over the first part. And its not sold badly at all
which is ironic because DS1 WAS a smash hit, having sold over 8 million copies. looks like kojima has another hit on his hands. and even now, steam players are flocking to play DS1 with concurrent players smashing the records set when the game launched 3 years ago.
If they released at the same time Im pretty sure Mario would still take number one.
At least get the statement right, physical sales were down 66%, not total.

Obviously, digital is bigger part of the landscape than it was on PS4.
Digitally on the PlayStation store it is and has been the best selling retail game since prior to release, and still is today.
Also, the digital edition came with early access.

It was 'Time' for new consoles
Interesting that the Series X itself isn't on the list. I suppose the Series S being the cheapest entry point for people to get into Game Pass is a big deal.
PS5:)
Of course PS5 is gaming revolution
