After the insomniac group Insomniac Games was hacked and stolen data, some of Sony's internal information was directly exposed to players. This includes a lot of game-related data that Sony has not yet released, such as the souls game "Bloodborne", which is very popular with many PlayStation players, and the game sales data of the PS5 escort "Ratchet & Clank: Time Jump", the former has been in existence for more than 8 years, and has sold more than 7.464 million copies as of fiscal 2020, while the latter has sold only 2.2 million copies, making Sony lose money.
According to data leaked by Insomniac Games, Bloodborne sold more than 2 million copies in the first half year of its release in 2015, and as of fiscal year 2020, the game sold 7.464 million copies and shipped 7.648 million copies, of which 41% were digital. Now, more than 2 years later, that number could be even higher.
"Ratchet & Clank: Time Jump", as an early PS5 escort work, has only sold 2.2 million copies as of February 2022, which fully utilizes the performance of PS5. As a result, Sony failed to recover its development costs and lost $8 million.
