I was expecting to see Splatoon in the list.

Good to see Bloodborne in the top 10.
Not really that surprised to see The Order so closely behind it. When I bought my PS4 for Bloodborne it was bundled with the console. I'm just going to pretend most Order purchases stemmed from bundles bought for Bloodborne.
There were Playstation Bloodborne bundles too iirc.
Really interesting figures; thanks Bruno. Just running a few numbers for The Order - 23 million euros is just over $26 million USD. Assuming it sold similarly in North America then let's say it made $50 million total sales, but Sony will only see, what, half of those profits? So if they earned $20-$30 million from The Order then there's no way they they made profit on it; especially when we factor in marketing costs as well.
I'm probably lowballing the figures here, and I don't know how much of a cut platform holders get from retail sales, but it doesn't look good for The Order. I expect its sales in Japan/Asia are extremely low too. Also not accounting for digital sales, which I guess could reasonably add another 20% to total figures, but would at the same time net Sony a higher profit margin.
"These projects have been and are profitable, to some extent," he said. "I'll give you one example that I know about: Heavy Rain. Let's say it's $22 million to produce. With marketing it's maybe $30 million. With distribution, $40 million. Sony earned $100 million with the game, so it's very profitable. It's the sort of margin that most publishers would strive for, for any game."
Are they going to publish corrected listI don't have hard sales numbers, but an Update.
GfK did a mistake compiling the data, Bandai Namco games aren't in the charts because of that.
3.) The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
12.) Dragon Ball Z: Xenoverse
13.) Project Cars
Dark Souls 2: SotFS is not in the top 20.
That kicks DA:I, The Sims 4 and The Crew out of the Top 20.
