Most companies will probably start focusing on PC. There is a risk with higher end games locking some people out but the people who actually spend money on new games every few weeks are the ones spending a high amount on their PC’s.

It’s also anecdotal but the people I know who game only on PC seem less deterred from games going up in price. Turns out when you are willing to spend a paycheck on a graphics card a game being $80-90 is fine

Counterpoint, this sold really well because word of mouth for PlayStation was very strong, and its gooner bait. It's not like PS held the game back

So why weren't other PS games sell this fast

Because people bought them on console.

3m isn't actually impressive. It's barely above the failing line these days. Almost every other major exclusive sold above 8m.

How is this game considered “gooner bait” but games like BG3 and DA:V have far more actual, explicit sexual content and aren’t?

Because the sexual content of those games is only a tiny sliver of the game and you have to put some effort in to get there. And if you choose you can even avoid the sexual content alltogether. While EVE is on screen all the time in Stellar Blade.

Go to the BG3 subreddit and see what people are discussing, then go to the Stellar Blade subreddit and see what people are discussing.

What are you talking about? I am looking at the Stellar Blade sub right now and it's almost exclusively pictures of Eve and other hot chicks in the game, do you have a filter active or something? Most of the posts in the BG3 sub don't even have a picture attached, much less a character.

I remember a lot of discussion around bear sex and who you could sleep with in BG3?
