The game director of Days Gone, Jeff Ross, shared that despite the success of their 2019 title, the company’s local studio management always made the entire team feel like the game was a disappointment. On the 5th of Jan 2022, Jeff shared this on Twitter as a reply to the 2020 release Ghost of Tsushima’s major milestone achievement tweet.
At the time I left Sony, Days Gone had been out for a year and a half (and a month), and sold over 8 million copies. It's since gone on to sell more, and then a million+ on Steam. Local studio management always made us feel like it was a big disappointment. #daysgone #PlayStation https://t.co/KMZr2pGe9r

Damn sold over 9 million and didn't get a sequel. And a million+ on Steam when it was released later in its lifetime
Only one conclusion from this: Metacritic matters

Talk your shit brother! Days gone is one of the best games I ever played and i thank you for it! Here’s hoping for a Second one in the future

One of my favourite games ever!
Unfairly marked down but also released with lots of issues.
The game is an easy 8.5-9/10.— #Tru (@TruGiffers) January 6, 2022

Wow pathetic how much Sony is invested in the game awards and Metacritic scores. I always wanted a sequel to Days Gone. Oh well now I got an Xbox, and Sony doesn’t seem to want one so 🤷🏽♂️
