Marathon on PS5 Underperforms at Launch, Sparking Sony/Bungie Budget Concerns

TL;DR Summary
Marathon’s PS5 debut appears underwhelming, with early estimates suggesting about 1.2 million copies sold across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC and roughly 217,000 on PS5 alone, according to Alinea Analytics and a Forbes source. The launch numbers, coupled with Sony’s broader financial strains and Bungie’s high development costs, raise eyebrows about the viability of the acquired studio and upcoming projects.
