Despite launching on two platforms, the sales of Insomniac's Spider-Man spin-off doesn't hold a candle to the 2018 Spider-Man game.

The game released on PS4 and PS5, what's the reason behind this big decline in sales? for me i didn't buy it because i was already tired of Spider-Man after spending more than 30 hours on the original game, i think Sony made a mistake releasing it too close to the original game.
The thread and article titles are click bait fake news, this is only an estimation.
And of the digital sales only, not of the total sales.
The correct title should be "Superdata estimates that Spider-Man: Miles Morales sold 70% less digital copies at launch than 2018's Spider-Man".
Other than that, it's a spin-off with other main character, so obviously it will sell less. And the other game had the extra of a lot of people hyped to get the first great Spider-Man videogame in many decades.
And well, the original Spider-Man had INSANE sales so it's very difficult to repeat that specially in the middle of a very crowded moment with tons of huge releases like Cyberpunk, ACV, WDL, Demon's Souls etc plus 2 console releases. So many people interested on it maybe decided (like me) to get other stuff instead and wait to get this game later.
