[alt text: two frames from Spongebob, edited into a meme with extra images and text. The first frame shows Mr. Krabs, labeled "Sony", who is surrounded by different Playstation games, including The Last of Us, Spider-Man, God of War, and Ghost of Tsushima. Mr. Krabs is saying, "All of you, off to PC!". In the second frame, all of the games have left, except for Bloodborne. Mr. Krabs/"Sony" is pointing at Bloodborne and saying, "Except you, stay."]

It's far less important now than it was a in the past. Gran Turismo 7 "only" sold 5.5 million copies, which is barely more than GT5 Prologue, a glorified paid demo. Even the very first game in the series was almost twice as successful.

Compare this to other current Playstation IPs: God of War: Ragnarök shipped 15 million copies, The Last of Us 2 and Spider-Man 2 at least 10 million each and Ghost of Tsushima 13 million.
