For those spreading lies here about Marvel making the most out of the deal...

The rate has tiers. 9% to 18% physical and 19% to 26% digital for the first 7 mil. So even if it's 26% for all versions it's not that much. Considering all platform holders charge 30%. And just like 30% is how much Sony is getting from call of duty.

Now let's think about how much money Microsoft is making off Indiana Jones on PS5 and steam since there is a platform cut of 30% plus the disney cut...ouch. 😏

Plus why would Disney mess with a deal where they sit back and make a crap ton of income without lifting a finger?! Idiots think Disney will say no to money? Lol

Yes considering the IP, 19-26% isn’t really that crazy.
For context google and apple wants 30% for selling your console and PC games on a phone.

False
Proof: you are able to purchase titles within the Steam and PS Apps. You've always been able to.

The one exception is Xbox, where they both (1) have their own mobile store agenda, and (2) have remote play built into the core Xbox app, while PS Remote Play and Steam Link are separate apps.

Can someone explain me the math here. 20 million copies x $60 = $1.2 billion max (assuming every copy was sold at $60 which it possibly couldn't).

Even Gta5/RDR2 didn't generate this much revenue in their first year even though they sold much more. Something is off here with this revenue calculation.

Basically people like Boxx don't know wtf they are talking about. There was also an expensive collector edition of the game, faceplate, controllers and a special edition console. Add in new customers to Playstation buying the system to specifically play Spiderman and yeah you can bump up revenue in multiple areas. Spiderman is that popular.

It's a guy saying their games helped generate revenue...not any official revenue. He's touting revenue that wouldn't exist without the game. So ya toys and comics. This is not a sony financial report.

It took GTA 3 days. And Spider Man had a season pass as well that released all it's content a couple of months after launch.

Reminds me how many devices was gta released on and who’s fanbase bigger CoD or gta 🤦🏿.
Edit:Congrats to Sony.
Damn I missed a obscured account troll comment 😩

Spiderman didn't have a season pass in the traditional sense. It was 3 story missions included in the Deluxe edition, but with the ability to purchase them all separately as a pass. They were multi-hour stories as well - It's not like Insomniac has been constantly building on Spiderman, collecting money monthly from players in exchange for monthly content drops.

Hell, all the skins they released were free for everybody and there have been a ton of them.
Why are we comparing Spiderman to GTA5 anyway? You can pick literally any game or media release and it doesn't compare to GTA5 sales - plus, one is exclusive to Pla-... this is dumb.

It's only off if you decide to exclude accessories and custom consoles/bundles. Those are all part of the revenue

@TysonDor
Sure, if that helps you sleep better at night. You might not be smart enough to know this, but most games don't get bundles or their own custom consoles. If Sony, Nintendo, and MS create a custom console of a game that ends up selling millions, that revenue is counted towards that game. Video game sales are not the only way games make money.

They are not fudging any numbers, they are counting the money they made through this game, hell I would say it's more if we include merchandise sales too, but that goes to Marvel, not Sony

The Death Of Arkham Has Me Worried About Spider-Man

Saad from eXputer: "After the rise of Rocksteady and its fall with post-Suicide Squad, I'm worried about Marvel's Spider-Man suffering a similar fate."

Hofstaderman391d ago

Why? According to the well publicized Insomniac leaks they have a slew of plans for Spiderman including its sequel.

CrimsonWing69391d ago

The sequel has had rumors that it could be sold piecemeal style or might be GaaS.

https://youtu.be/XCFr3KRB9G...

This is all coming from the leaks you mentioned. The problem is the industry is not doing well no matter how ill-informed people spin it on here when they see “sold 3 mill.” In those Sony leaks it showed the struggle to get ROI and they spend an insane amount of money to develop, which makes 0 sense to me when there’s not much to show for the increased development costs. Case in point would be Suicide Squad vs Arkham Knight.

I believe we’re in the middle of seeing a drastic change in media and distribution. This goes for movies, but more so for games and the industry is scrambling to figure out how to get more money out of consumers rather than stick to the “buy it once” to play it all.

These are things you need to pay attention to in order to know which direction the wind’s blowing with this sh*t storm. I was almost certain the GaaS initiative was killed when Jim was leaving, but now seeing the success of Helldivers 2… I’m thinking we’re in for a bumpy ride. I just don’t know what that looks like yet, but I don’t think it’s gonna be pretty.

Insomniac still has a good generation left in them before they get cannibalized by investors. It'll probably happen around the mid PS6 gen, when we see the beginning of the fall.

dmonee391d ago

Huh with this article? If Sony and Insomniac want to abandoned the Spider-Man franchise and make a half baked, live service Spider-Man game, and miss the mark with their fans, then God bless’em!!!!

JimmyDM90390d ago

Seems unlikely when they abandoned the GaaS spiderverse game but are still going ahead with single player games like Wolverine and Spider-Man 3.
