The action game "Ninja Gaiden 4", jointly created by Platinum and Team Ninja, was officially released on October 21, and is available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series, and Game Pass for the first time.However, the game’s online peak on Steam is only over 10,000, and currently there are only 5,521 people online. This phenomenon has caused sighs from many foreign players.

Several foreign players tweeted on X, feeling sorry for this game, "What a shame, such an excellent game...".

Later, some players wanted to analyze the poor performance of "Ninja Dragon 4" from the perspective of price.One player pointed out that if he bought all the masterpieces released in the past two months, it would cost nearly $700.If you only buy 3A masterpieces, you will need at least US$420.If you just buy independent/remastered games, it’s less than $100.

Therefore, players cannot afford such pricing and number of games, and similarly, game companies cannot afford it either.

Some players also suggested that the price of "Ninja Dragon 4" should be US$40 instead of US$70 on Steam.Because no matter how good the game is, if the price is too expensive, no one will buy it.Especially with the price increase of Game Pass.The same goes for Doom: Dark Ages.

Game publishers need to consider realistic pricing.

It is worth mentioning that the price of "Ninja Dragon 4" in Steam's domestic region is 298 yuan, which is the lowest price in the region, and converted to US dollars is 41.84 US dollars.But obviously, "Ninja Dragon 4" did not attract the attention of too many domestic players.

However, some people pointed out that the "Ninja Dragon" series is still a "niche game" today, although this series is very well-known.Before the release of "Ninja Dragon 4", the series sold only 7.5 million to 8 million units, and the budget was also very low, without much marketing, so it should be able to ensure profitability.
