Suggest you scroll up a bit as I replied while you were typing from your notes

Those revenue & sub numbers are from the pc version only. And from what ive seen of FR and CP, they both have pretty much the same "Click your browser to launch the game engine" type gameplay so I disagree with the apples & oranges, it's basically the same thing. However FR's game engine looks a fuckton prettier which is going to be a huge selling point for them IF they can get punters attention. Penguin managed it before the Disney buyout for a decent amount, Disney then seemed to make their numbers boom upwards with their name recognition. Sony needs to advertise the piss out of it in the right places to make a dent.

One thing CP had going for it though was the sheer amount of content they kicked out every month, new items to buy for ingame currency gained from playing games etc. I presume Sony will have done their homwork (surely?) and will know constant ongoing content updates is the name of the game, however in this genre issuing a cowboy hat with a bell on it one month and a arrow sticking out of it 2 months later is considered suitable
