For a new IP it's great!

 

[MasterCornholio]

At least they show the most important stat. Nice that the game was successful.

 

[Pimpbaa]

Great game, but it deserved much more than the half assed port PS5 port it got.

 

[MrA]

Deserves every sale. Though it should really be played in Japanese

How was it half assed?

 

[ManaByte]

Best game of the PS4 gen.

 

[itshutton]

Beat Ubisoft at their own game. Loved this game, if a little repetitive. It certainly deserves the success. And for a first game in the series, can’t wait to see where they go next.

 

[PixelatedBeast]

How was it half assed?

I just wish it had Raytracing reflections. The game is beautiful on ps5 thought, but it would sick if in photo mode you could see reflections off the bloody swords and armor.

 

[elcapitano]

Including Directors Cut?

Thought it would be higher tbh with the two SKUs.

Good game not great imo.

 

[Crispy Gamer]

Loved it

 

[PixelatedBeast]

Best game of the PS4 gen.

You mean if GOW and TLOU2 didnt exist?

 

[Topher]

 

[SpokkX]

Too bad. Being effectivly an Ass Creed clone i thougt it was by FAR the worst Sony developed game since… uhh.. well I will just say Knack was WAY better

 

[Pimpbaa]

How was it half assed?

Slight bump in resolution and some better textures on a handful of objects (environment was completely untouched), 60fps was available on the PS4 version when playing on PS5. Falls way short of what say insomniac did for Spiderman. There were 3rd party games that did much more with FREE upgrades to current gen consoles (like Doom Eternal or Metro Exodus).

 

[TheDuskwalker]

Obligatory

Best game of the PS4 gen.

Id say it was my favorite singleplayer of last gen for sure. Multiplayer was a cool bonus but the singleplayer had me mesmerized/in awe. I loved the feeling I got playing it for so many hours. I had been waiting most of my life to play a game like that having been a fan of those old Japanese films when I was little.

 

[Fake]

For a new IP this is huge.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I thought it was pretty cool to hear that the Japanese enjoyed it.

 

[MasterCornholio]

I thought it was pretty cool to hear that the Japanese enjoyed it.

Haven’t played it yet but I heard they did a lot of work to make it as accurate as possible. Pretty sure they even funded a shrine in Japan.

Edit: My bad it was the fans of the game not the developers themselves.

Ghost of Tsushima fans come together to help fund repair of Watatsumi Shrine gate

www.destructoid.com

As word of the fundraiser spread online, Ghost of Tsushima fans caught wind of the campaign began to offer their own donations toward the restoration project, with the crowdfunder closing out this past weekend at around ¥27 million, (or roughly $260,000 USD), five times that of the original goal. The founders of the project thanked the Ghost of Tsushimacommunity for its generosity, and noted that some of the campaign’s highest donors will be recorded on a nearby stone monument.

It’s still really cool though.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Easily in my top three games of last gen. I can't wait for the sequel.

 

[ANDS]

Another one of those games where you spend several dozens of hours. . .joyfully doing anything but the main plot. One day I'll just set aside any new game purchases and knock some of these massive "come in and get lost" games out.

 

[Duchess]

9.73 / 24 = 0.405​

So, about 405,000 copies per month. That's pretty decent.

 

[SlimySnake]

I guess it didnt outsell TLOU2 after all. lol

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Gamers who prefer linear based games keep getting beat up. Open world is taking over.

I doubt GoW is going to sell badly.

 

[ManaByte]

It’s better than both.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Blots on a graph.

You got to look at all these releases and notice the trend. The outliers kind of prove my point.

 

[Kerotan]

Insane sales. Almost 10M. It won't stop anytime soon either.

Not really when Ragnarok is going to sell extremely well. Linear games are still extremely popular. I’m curious to see if Insomniacs Wolverine will be linear or not.

 

[SSfox]

Incredible game.

Nice numbers and well deserved. Now just don't release it on PC FFS.

 

[Arioco]

Well deserved. Amazing game, I really enjoyed it. Can't wait for the its sequel.

 

[Ellery]

Not bad and congratulations again. I am most impressed by how well the game was received in japan.

 

[farmerboy]

Good on them. Great effort!

 

[Jaybe]

Almost 10. Was GoT in the Nvidia leak? I think it will pull at least a million copies on PC.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Loved the game so much, went across the entire land and got everything done. I don't do that often. I should go back and check out all the content they added.

 

[Zones]

I guess it didnt outsell TLOU2 after all. lol

Ghost of Tsushima is the more successful game of the two:
-GoT had a far higher average selling price compared to TLOU II.
-GoT had an immensely lower head count (and hence, development budget) compared to TLOU II.
-GoT is a new IP, whereas TLOU II was a sequel to a +20 million seller.
-TLOU II is probably at about 10.5m as of now and it's likely reaching the product's EOL sooner rather than later (thanks to the already aggressive price reductions taking place), however, once GoT receives the same aggressive price promotions that TLOU II received, it will more than likely outsell TLOU II even on that (mostly useless) metric.

 

[Celcius]

Best new IP in a long time.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I guess it didnt outsell TLOU2 after all. lol

I mean...if anyone believed that they were delusional. And TLoU2 still didn't have the PS5 SKU released. It's the PS4 version only.

 

[Gone]

Proof that Sony can make mid games and it'll sell like crazy. Happy for Sucker Punch tho.

My god... Tlou2 surpassed 10M "early this year" as Neil said. It never got a PS5 version. It never got an online multiplayer mode like Ghost of Tsushima and TLoU2 sold more than 4M on its first 3 days. That's close to 300M US dollars in sales. It sold much more at full price, with only one sku released.

Unlike TLoU, ghost of Tsushima had no foundations from a previous game as well. Tlou2 was already built from a previous game.

Just because a studio is smaller doesn't mean much btw. Ghost was in full production much longer than Tlou2.

 

[Gambit2483]

I did my part
Best new IP of 2020

 

[Aenima]

Amazing game, and good sales for a brand new IP.

 

[freefornow]

I certainly think these are good numbers? Hard to tell when Days Gone sold 8M? and was considered a dissapointment by Sony? Not sure on the 8M as i have seen 5.8M bandied around as well.
Sony better be happy with this, Sucker Punch are top teir and deserve keys to the money vault.

 

[Nautilus]

For a new IP it's great!

Its a great number for any IP.

 

[Pelta88]

Well deserved numbers. GOT is a Phenomenal game. I spent way too much time in photo mode after I got the plat!

 

[Rival]

I still haven’t gotten this.

 

[A.Romero]

I wasn't expecting how much I liked this game. I got it together with a PS5 on a whim and couldn't play anything else. Got 82% of the trophies (which is very unlike me) and enjoyed every second of it.

Well deserved.

 

[TheUsual]

Fantastic game and pleased with the success. I played the original PS4 version on my PS5 and platinumed it. Didn't play the expansion or legends.
