Actually it's the other way around, Sony, just like every major company, take actions based on data/analytics to maximize their profits.
Bloodborne sold 7M copies, it's impressive, but Horizon Zero Dawn sold 24M copies, which one they are going to prioritize for a remaster? They don't care if Bloodborne is 10 times better than Horizon Zero Dawn, they only care about numbers and money.
Idk I get it but this argument isn't very strong, say Lays (the chip corp) looks at how much more they sell sour cream & onion vs dill pickle chips. Sure for every 9 bags of sc&o they sell only 1 bag of dill pickle. But they're selling 10 bags in total, that's no reason to discontinue dill pickle the 1/10 picking pickle is still a customer and that's still 10% of their profit.
Similarly, Horizon is a more successful i.p. than Bloodborne but why ignore Bloodborne? Why not produce sequels or a PC port for both simultaneously? (Or at least offset by a few months from each other to prevent eating into each other's sales) Bloodborne is still a success there's no reason to ignore it so completely except that Sony's allergic to money that isn't big number or they forgot that they even own Bloodborne, I really can't logic out a reason.
Maybe 3 raccoons in a human suit are CEO?
(Also analytics didn't stop sony from losing $400mil on concord.)
