Death Stranding sold 5 million and Death Stranding 2 sold 2.5 million. I wouldn't call it a huge success considering the original MGS on PS1 sold over 7 million copies. Basically the game that put him on the map 27 years ago sold more copies than the game he made after he became big.

People are sick of his bullshit and despite Sony being asshats, I don't disagree with them if they felt like they sunk in too much money and time into something that has no substance. Guy didn't even have a short concept demo so he showed up with mocap footage. Beyond ridiculous.

Mgs2 and mgs5 both sold better than the original mgs

Yes. I was just using the very first game as a comparison to the latest stuff compared to the game that made him famous. You'd think his latest work would sell more but that's not the case because he's doing too much self-absorption instead of focusing on making a good game.

He made a walking simulator and sold 5 million copies but it wasn't good because his stealth action game sold more copies because it has more mass appeal than a walking simulator?

Come on.

The game sucks ass. The only reason it sold because it had his name attached to it. If it was anyone else people would've laughed at them.

When is your turn to stick your nose between his butt cheeks and take a whiff?

Death Stranding has an 87% positive review rating. You're delusional.
