SO maNY Games!
I know it's on the PC as well.... I just had to! (heck it's not even made by Sony lol.)
I would have added to the number, had SE patched the PC version.
I liked the first one more.
In might need to get this online. The GameStop's we have in town just don't have it.
Couldn't get into it, I tried, its just my opinion. Not bad sales for a new IP.
I'm curious what the nature of their exclusivity deal (full/timed) is, Game could probably get a nice boost by branching out on to other systems.
Not a new IP. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

No idea why you are being downoted. You are factually right.
It’s not a new ip, it’s a sequel
@JOLTLORD LMAO There's is no exclusivity deal. Where were you at E3 2015 when the game was announced? SE stated that due to the games cult following they decided to make a new NieR, and the platforms for it were only on PS4. Also, after E3 2014, SE started focusing only on PS4 with their home console Japanese games, hence why Final Fantasy Type-0 was the last announced Japanese game for Xbox One until Romancing Saga 2 in December 2017. The game is not coming to Xbox One because....wait for it...It is the publishers choice. Yeah, that still exists. The game is fine where it is. Always someone trying to play management.

Uhm... Steam?
@reviniente What about Steam, the Personal Computer platform that Nier Automata was announced for in August 2016?
Are you hinting that I should change historical events and mention a platform at an event when it wasn't announced there?
Haha love the downvotes for stating a personal opinion. Alot of sad eggs out there. Goes to show if you arent a sheep you get a thumbs down. Thanks everyone for making me feel independent ;)

It's NOT exclusive to the PS4. There was either, no exclusivity agreement, the agreement was that it would be a timed exclusive fir the PS4, or they broke their own agreement. That's all there is to it.
