Sucker Punch's new game "Ghost of Mount Yotei" was officially released on October 2, but Sony has not officially announced the sales performance of the game.In comparison, SIE's previous game "Ghost of Tsushima" officially announced sales of 2.4 million units within three days of its release, making it the fastest-selling original IP on PS4.Some players speculated based on third-party statistics that the performance of "Soul of Mount Yotei" was actually "pretty bad."

According to the data, the number of viewers of "Soul of Mount Yotei" on Twitch plummeted from a peak of 111,000 to less than 13,000 in just 5 days, while Google Trends data shows that the popularity continues to decline even on weekends - which is the worst situation for the game.

Several key speculations:

1) Despite the initial surge in audience numbers, this attention did not translate into sales or continued interest, likely due to the lackluster performance of the game itself.

2) The rapid decline in popularity shows that word-of-mouth communication has completely failed. Most people talking about the game on social media are trying to persuade others not to buy it.

3) Promotion stopped shortly after the release.This indicates that SIE stopped advertising in order to preserve cash reserves.As a result, the game quickly disappeared from trending searches on social media.

4) All publicity focuses on content that has nothing to do with the core gameplay, such as splitting bamboo, fishing and cooking.This shows that the company itself knows that the core gameplay of the game is weak and cannot impress players like "Ghost of Tsushima".

5) There are almost no trolls or paid touting accounts promoting this game.

6) The only people promoting this game are activists who want to use the game to promote the "politically correct agenda."
