Red Dead Redemption 2’s Physical Copies Already Sold Out For PlayStation 4

RDR2 says that Amazon PS4 pre-orders for Red Dead Redemption 2 appear sold out with no release date and very little no information about the actual game.

boomtube19872554d ago (Edited 2554d ago )

How the hell does a pre order game that is possibly a year away sell out...must be a Fanboy news

psuedo2554d ago (Edited 2554d ago )

It has to do with
A. The western genre is rare
B. People want the next GTA type game
C. People want the next RDR2
D. People want more games
E. R* Is the biggest baddest

mikeslemonade2554d ago

I will get the PC version :P

naji20042554d ago

Whats next? sold out on digital pre-order .

Bathyj2554d ago

If there is one Mike. You might have to get it on PS poor

mikeslemonade2554d ago (Edited 2554d ago )

I will be forced to get on PS Pro. The sole single advantage of the Scorpio is the console exclusives the Scorpio would look the best on. Good thing Red Dead means next to nothing for me otherwise I would probably need to buy a Scorpio.

nowitzki20042554d ago (Edited 2554d ago )

@mike

Just like you have the PC version of RDR1.

roadkillers2554d ago

Definitely fanboy news. RDR2 is I think the highest pre-ordered game right now, but it fails in comparison to where Halo, Call of Duty, GTA, and Battlefield were at this point.

I'm totally hyped for this game and if purchasing it means more diversity (BULLY 2!!!, Manhunt 3!!!, The Warriors Remake!!!) then I am totally on board. Agent sounds sweet.

PSN_ZeroOnyx2554d ago

@mike

Scorpio has NO exclusive content. PC gets everything Xbox gets. 2 different platforms running windows 10.

Christopher2554d ago

Because the allotted quantity is probably only about 250k. That will go away once the date is revealed.

Muzikguy2554d ago

@naji

No kidding. I find the idea of preorders being sold out ridiculous. False hype or whatever you want to call it. They should be able to take as many preorders as they want. If they ended up with not enough copies,the consumer would just be waiting until more came in.

@mikes

"Good thing Red Dead means next to nothing for me".... must be nice buying games you don't like.

mikeslemonade2554d ago

^I buy anything noteworthy cause I'm a core gamer first. It would have to be like racing and mmo where I may not get a game.

But there is a reason for getting Scorpio if there's more console exclusives. Read Dead 2 is gonna be true 4k compared to like native 1600p on PS Pro. But as I said before I'm a Red Dead hater so I'm gonna need more than just overrated Red Dead.

XanderZane2554d ago (Edited 2554d ago )

I don't know. I'll probably pre-order my Scorpio version at Gamestop. They aren't sold out yet. I thought the game was releasing this fall.

Silly gameAr2554d ago

Fanboy news? This isn't a Scorpio article.

mikeslemonade2554d ago (Edited 2554d ago )

Haha Scorpio won't sell out. You can probably count the number stores that Scorpio will sell out on your fingers and toes.

Kleptic2553d ago (Edited 2553d ago )

Do people still think physical games 'sell out'...?

Pre-ordering exists for financial reasons, 'gamers' keep falling for it...Pre-ordered sales allow publishers to book liquid asset's against low risk liabilities with accurate revenues within fiscal quarters that a game does not release in...they stabilize the 'red, red, red, black' issue that many industries face (as in, they have a single profitable quarter per year that hopefully makes up for the losses)...

the problem remains: the investors are on our side for the most part...they know that if a publisher releases a game that sucks...it'll flop...the answer on the business side of things has been incentives for people to pay for things that aren't released yet...investors trust it more or less, but it helps nothing else...it gives a higher window for investors to get out from under what very much is a risky industry.

It used to be that pre-ordering was a way to offset the dramatic sales decline that happened when people couldn't get what they wanted, and bought something else instead...but digital distribution and far superior production logistics...has removed that...but...that put investors back into the wait and see method...

and publishers hate that...so pre-ordering remains a thing...stop doing it...if pre-ordering popularity would go away, day 1 issues and rushing to hit specific deadlines with on fire products would end. If people would just buy something when it's available for sale and information on said product is out in the open...everything will get better.

With 7 billion+ people on the planet, I expect RD2 to sell 1 billion life time /s

boomtube19872554d ago

yeh 1 billion PS4s out der

Kurdishcurse2554d ago

Pffft!...no. there isnt even a fraction of that in console sales, and probably never will will.

Why not wait for the Scorpio version before pre-ordering? I guess the difference in graphics is not that big to the gamers. I keep hearing the Scorpio will take over third party support just because of better graphics.

BlakHavoc2555d ago

That and the difference won't be that substantial

Armyntt2555d ago (Edited 2555d ago )

Scorpio isn't out yet why preorder something for Xbox when we know nothing outside of hardware capabilities. But from my understanding it should be a drastic difference. If it's not then ms exaggerated imo. The third party games by all accounts should be near of pc ultra settings. If not then what's the point?

MyFactualOpinion2554d ago

And you know the difference won't be substantial based on what?

Sunny_D2555d ago

Scorpio will takeover with what install base? Consumers will always prefer the cheaper option. That's why the regular Ps4 slim is outselling the PS4 Pro. Not to mention, most people still have yet to get a 4K tv to take advantage.

ShadowKnight2555d ago

Install base is definitely the key

"Why not wait for the Scorpio version before pre-ordering? I guess the difference in graphics is not that big to the gamers. I keep hearing the Scorpio will take over third party support just because of better graphics."

i guess your pc isn't that great either then because all i keep hearing is how much you support sony with hardly ever talking about playing games on your pc. so what exactly did you invest in a gaming pc for then, thinking it was going to take over third party support?

ShadowKnight2554d ago (Edited 2554d ago )

Is RDR coming to PC?? Nope... Of course I'm a PC/PS4/Nintendo gamer!!! I bet my PC is more powerful than yours!!! Need my steam account or a picture to prove it?

freshslicepizza2554d ago

@DragonDDark
"RDR2 is coming to pc"

Not yet which is why Shadow felt the need to bring up Scorpio in the first place knowing it will be the best version, unless of course Sony pays for some exclusive content. Which is what they will probably do since they, like a lot of their fans, don't like knowing they have an interior version.

must be why you talk so much about all the games you play on it but i guess the power crown will be awarded to scorpio until then, but sales will go to the ps4 combo.

ShadowKnight2554d ago (Edited 2554d ago )

@Moldybread
Sales keeps you in the gaming industry :)

Funny how you use Nintendo.. Don't worry your Xbox Scorpio is almost here because I know your frustrated atm

freshslicepizza2554d ago

@ShadowKnight
"Sales keeps you in the gaming industry :)"

is that why this game is coming to nintendo systems? please keep eating your own words.

freshslicepizza2554d ago

@ShadowKnight
"Funny how you use Nintendo."

why wouldn't i since you are all over the map just so that you can get your digs in with microsoft. you downplay scorpio for not being a mass seller based on how well xbox one has performed so far and say install base is key yet support nintendo because they have some good exclusives. all you are really trying to do is hit both kneecaps off of microsoft going on about how they are losing to the ps4 and losing to exclusives to nintendo. all while promotying what a big pc gamer you are with a powerful rig to further erode any value to what microsoft might be offering. it is all too predictable.

"Don't worry your Xbox Scorpio is almost here because I know your frustrated atm"

says the guy who says he has a ps4, switch and a pc gaming system, yet keeps going out of his way to talk about how scorpio isn't giving him anything to look forward to. all because you're bored because those 3 (or more) systems you currently own don't seem to be enough. i guess if scorpio had a bunch of exclusives developed just for it you might find the time to actually play them because according to you nobody can have enough game systems.

ShadowKnight2554d ago (Edited 2554d ago )

And what do you do? Downplay Sony LMAO

Clunkyd2554d ago

Because he's an insecure hypocrite.

LexHazard792554d ago

Funny how shit works round here..

Shadow downplays Xbox and people agree.

Moldy downplays PS and people disagree.

says the guy trying so hard to downplay scorpio in a topic about ps4 sales for red dead redemption 2, while telling everyone why he's a pc/ps4 and nintendo fan and how sales matter yet this is only confirmed for playstation and xbox.

even hbo doesn't offer this much entertainment.

Ceaser98573612554d ago (Edited 2554d ago )

RDR 2 , Star wars 2, COD WW 2 is all with Playstation 4 when it comes to third party support oh! and money speaks not gfx .. atm playstation has more users and money then xbox .. Not hating the xbox brand since i too own one but thats the fact...

Ra3v3r2554d ago

Bullshit. Xbox isn't a company and neither are PlayStation both are divisions of MS and Sony respectively and MS have considerably more money than Sony. If it wasn't for the PS, Sony would be screwed as none of their other divisions are doing well at all. Users though - yeah it's destroying MS but it doesn't stop me enjoying both systems.

It'll be interesting to see what potential exclusive content RDR2 gets as at the moment it's just being touted as specific online content. I loved the first one and can't wait for the 2nd.

Ceaser98573612554d ago

Ra3v3r

Aww! Again with the MS VS Sony. Dude dude, calm down.. If MS wants it can get rid of Xbox since the brand Xbox is NOT doing good for MS. MS earning has nothing to do with Xbox. But Xbox earning well will be taken well with MS. Dont always change the topic from games to companys. And guess what Sony Playstation has MORE money then MS Xbox..

ILostMyMind2554d ago

Whoever wants the best graphics plays on PC and is not paying any attention to Scorpio. People need to stop paying attention to fanboys and MS-sponsored sites. Scorpio is between an expensive console and a weak PC.

subtenko2554d ago (Edited 2554d ago )

aint nobody waitin for no scorpion man, we just want the game now. gimmie R* gimimie!!!

Hardiman2554d ago

Because there is no price, I grew tired of Halo and Gears and don't plat racing games. To tell you the truth my Pro looks good enough. The only way I buy a Scorpio is if they reveal new IP's at E3 and even then I'm waiting to see if they go gold, but only then.

LexHazard792554d ago

Im getting it in PS4 Pro but only because my clan plays there. If not for that it would be a purchase for Scorpio. I dont expect to buy 3rd party games for PS4 Pro going forward unless..to play with friends ala CoD.

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein6d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

Yi-Long5d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius4d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

Demetrius4d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh

hmm kinda out there i find red dead 2 a over hyped game i am sure there are other's out there worthy of this award.

Are we saying rdr 2 mp is better than the first one?

The cover shooting better on #2 than #1?

I mean they reused 80% of rdr 1 map on rdr 2

smolinsk23d ago

Red Dead Redemption 1 was better. A better story that's for sure but the world in red Dead Redemption 2 is fantastic. But overall yes Red Dead Redemption 2 is overhyped but with best living World ever made.

just_looken23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

Oh rdr 2 world how you leave tracks what you can do and the npc's are great no doubt

For me its the forced guns one way to play missions and the camp you can do nothing be a ass and there is no change sense none of the hunting/donating.bounty/karma etc even taking care of your horse matters. Then you got the horse inventory along with them bringing in realistic inventory but at the same time have that slomo crap pick a lane is it a wild west sim or a max payne rip off.

shinoff218323d ago (Edited 23d ago )

Plus who cares about the mp. Single player is where it's at.

I don't think it's the best sequel either. I liked it but I can see why some say it's overhyped. That's because it was. Great game still. I'd take xcom 2 as a better sequel. I'm sure there's plenty others.

just_looken23d ago

We care about mp because of gta v even if you been living under a rock you know what gtao did to gta v dlc.

Though rdr 2 mp failed it still put time/resources and budget away from the single player for a subpar experience compared to the first.

lucasnooker24d ago

Hmmm don’t know about that one myself. There’s some good sequels there….

No way last of us 2 was a better sequel than the original resident evil 2. The story of TLOU2 was a huge let down for me!

Assassins creed 2 was a vast improvement over the original and still the very best of the entire franchise imo.

Half-life 2 will always be legendary.

RDR2 is great but the best sequel ever? I don’t think so… just my opinion though I guess

shinoff218323d ago

Shoot down last of us 2 but bring up assassins creed 2. What in the world.

anast24d ago

Last of Us 2 would be mine and Dark Souls 3 has to be up there.

raWfodog23d ago

I also enjoyed TLOU2 but RDR2 edges it out for me. Both hit me in the feels but RDR2 just a little bit more lol.

anast23d ago

RDR2 is an excellent game. One of my top 10 of all time.

SimpleSlave23d ago

Sure, if you started playing game yesterday and just for this series. Otherwise? lol... No.
