I've said it before and I'll say it again: "Player numbers tell us nothing when the game is given out as part of a subscription". I want to know the sales. Not the players. Because if I download it to my PS5 and then everyone in my house opens the game once without even playing it....that's 5 'players' and 0 sales.

This statistic is useless.

Salty much? You can't prove any of the BS you just said about player count.

Whether you like it or not the game was a major success and Sony is funding the sequel for it.

Cry harder. :)

Yes they would have but unlike others Kojima productions gave some clarity to their numbers even if a full breakdown is unlikely considering it involves other parties sub services.
