That FFVIIR number is shipped numbers, not sold through.

I think pretty much everyone expected this to open big. There's no way it wouldn't. Too much hype and credibility gained from the first game, as well as people avoiding spoilers.

However, we'll see if it behaves like FF7R. Which people were also trying to throw in others' faces who criticized the game's story changes from the OG game. It sold 3.5M in the first week, but within a week or two was off of every Top 10 list in every reported country. Legs are important. Especially to an expensive game like this one.

$60×4M=$240M USD gross. Even if this cost as much as GTAV to make and market, its still going to turn a sizeable profit once it hits 5 million.

The only problem here is that Ghosts of Tsushima is releasing too close to TLoU2 and the established IP is going to cause problems for the new one.

Exactly, shipments. Shipped.
Sold-through and shipped are two different things.

Not downplaying FFVIIR success, just pointing out the difference as TLOU2 number is a number sold-through to consumers, not retailers (shipped)

I wonder if there was an equally huge spike in scissors sales since people seem to be buying this game just to cut it in half on camera for clout haha

This is just 2 days of sales as well. Have to say I'm looking forward to seeing the numbers spiderman 2 and GOW2 pull in a few years.

GT7, Horizon 2 and Spiderman Miles should do good but the low install base will hold them back at least initially.

And under the economic context of COVID 19.

New excuse now is 'it's only selling well because of how good the first game was' I'm seeing that in this thread. Pathetic.
I mean, to say ONLY, sure. But there's definitely truth to that IMO. The original game was beloved by many, so of course the sequel is going to sell just as well if not more so. Hardcore fans avoided leaks and were all in. Some saw the leaks and preordered as a result of curiosity because of all the attention. I'm sure there are other paths as well. Congrats to ND regardless!

I'm really curious to see how Tsushima does.
 

LMAO
Nice selective quoting.

The Last of Us 2 will not even outsell Spiderman.
Maybe launch sales, but not even first month US sales and definitely not overall.

I explicitly said it could outsell Spiderman at launch, but not in total and not NPD first month.
But whatever fits your narrative.

And I stand by what I said. TLOU2 will not outsell Spiderman
Spiderman sold 13.2 million in 325 days

Important to keep in mind FF7 Remake didn't "sell 3.5 million" it shipped. So it kind of doesn't belong here.
