Thought this was interesting that this game continues to sell very well. I remember some people were skeptical.

The Last of Us 2 is the best-selling game on the PS Store of Black Friday 2021, despite being on PS Now

The period of Black Friday 2021 is about to end and with it the discounts of the various chains and platforms. Discounts have also been made on PlayStation and, now, through the PS Store we can see that The Last of Us 2 it was the game best seller of the period, although it is […]

"The information can be obtained directly from the PS Store, through the section dedicated to Black Friday 2021 discounts. As you can see, by ordering the games according to the category “Best sellers", in first position The Last of Us 2 appears, followed by the inevitable GTA 5, Mafia The Definitive Edition, Jump Force and Rocket League. Obviously we don’t know how much sales are, but it is certainly an excellent result."

"Also looking at the full list of PS Store games, again via console, we sell that the only titles that surpass The Last of Us 2 – at the moment – are those included in the PS Plus. This is a major success both because the game has been available for a year and a half, and because – how said – is also available on PS Now. With a smaller investment, it is possible to play Naughty Dog’s work and many others for a month: we do not know how many PS Now subscribers have obtained during this period, so it is impossible to understand which of the two “access modes” has preferred user."

Sony needs to stop hiding the numbers!

 

[KingGhidorah]

Are other Sony’s bigs like GOW, GOT, Horizon, Spider-Man discounted during Black Friday?

Pretty much everything was, even Ratchet and Returnal.

I kind of question this methodology though for determining the top seller, who knows how that is calculated. Do we really think Mafia was the third highest seller, and Jump Force 4th? Lol

Same here

 

[arvfab]

Well deserved. Easily one of the best games ever.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

This is a nothing burger to be honest.

Sony needs to stop hiding the numbers!

I assume they will reveal them during the reveal of Factions(TLoU2 multiplayer) or it’s release.

 

[kyliethicc]

Are other Sony’s bigs like GOW, GOT, Horizon, Spider-Man discounted during Black Friday?

Yes. God of War and Horizon are already at $20 permanently, so those 2 may have not been.

Miles Morales, Ghost of Tsushima DC, R&C Rift Apart, Returnal, Demon's Souls, Death Stranding DC, and more were all on sale on PSN.

 

[TheTurboFD]

The quartering will foam at the mouth if he hears about this.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

It's my fault I ordered 50 000 copies by mistake.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

George Soros mass purchased multiple copies to push his liberal ideology. When will it ever be enough!?

 

[DeadOblivion78]

The quartering will foam at the mouth if he hears about this.

I'm surprised he's still alive.

 

[Fbh]

It was also $20 compared to other big recent exclusives like Ghost of Tsushima (which only released a month later), Ratchet or Returnal which had a deeply discounted price of..... $50

 

[Flutta]

 

[DeepEnigma]

Fantastic gameplay, but man was that story so depressing. Probably the most depressing game I’ve ever played.

They succeeded in what they set out to do.

 

[TidusYuna]

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Well deserved. Easily one of the best games ever.

The melee system, AI, graphics, sound, it's all top notch.

I'll replay it again on PC if Sony brings it over.

 

[DForce]

It was also $20 compared to other big recent exclusives like Ghost of Tsushima (which only released a month later), Ratchet or Returnal which had a deeply discounted price of..... $50

Ghost of Tsushima wasn't discounted as much because of the Director's Cut version.

MLB 21, Assassins Creed, NBA 2K 22, Resident Evil 8 are $23-$30 bucks

 

[ManaByte]

I kind of question this methodology though for determining the top seller, who knows how that is calculated. Do we really think Mafia was the third highest seller, and Jump Force 4th? Lol

Jump Force was like $5 and is being delisted soon.

 

[Hugare]

It was also $20 compared to other big recent exclusives like Ghost of Tsushima (which only released a month later), Ratchet or Returnal which had a deeply discounted price of..... $50

Thats counting every game in the store, not only exclusives

For a game more than 1 year old, thats pretty good

 

[DeepSpace5D]

It was also $20 compared to other big recent exclusives like Ghost of Tsushima (which only released a month later), Ratchet or Returnal which had a deeply discounted price of..... $50

The Ghost of Tsushima for $50 came with the Iki Island expansion in the Director’s Cut, it wasn’t $50 for the base game only.

 

[Javthusiast]

 

[Godot25]

Isn't "Most Popular" category on PlayStation Store segmented based on region?

 

[The_Mike]

What's with the space between the G and the O?

 

[KingGhidorah]

so this is more like the cheapest games sell the most, okie dokie

 

[Physiognomonics]

Yep. It says a lot. Naughty dog era is over. He thought that was going to be easy to kill the most iconic Sony character? He thought people were going to love his game because of his ideologic and utopian story alone? Nope.

 

[Shifty1897]

I finished TLOU Part 2 last night. It was a 10/10 until the ending, which promptly went off a cliff and exploded in mid air.

I wrote a better ending in five minutes while laying in bed.

 

[legacy24]

thinking of buying it right now actually or getting it off psnow hmm

Diablo 2 res has taken over my life haha, i have not had any time for any other games since its releases, i wish the god damn thing had never been released.

I would have so snapped up that deal, might still do, ps4 pro though still, humm

i bet you sleep in an Abby onesie, lets see those pics

Factually wrong, ending was pure perfection.

[Spaceman292]

There will be a lot of depressed people in about a week's time

 

[kikii]

nais that TLoU2 doing okee, but do we rly need these threads ? same goes with Halo:infinite ^^

 

[VulcanRaven]

Great news. Its one of my favorite games of all time. I need to get PS5 at some point so I can play it in 60fps.

 

[Putonahappyface]

A lot of golf fanatics scratching that itch I see.

Runs fine on PS4 too. I definitely recommend trying it out eventually.

 

[kingfey]

People who bought jump force needs a life support. That game is pure trash.

 

[Hobbygaming]

This won't age well

 

[onQ123]

Went woke sold the most or whatever y'all be saying.

 

[arvfab]

I was depressed too once completed. Was afraid I would find any other game shit after TLOU2, so good was it.

 

[Ellery]

Congrats to all the new buyers and enjoy the 2020 GOTY.

 

[Punished Miku]

Thats just cause it was in stock like the series s. Doesn't count obviouslyyyyyyyyy .

I considered getting it but I'm waiting for $10. Or PS5 upgrade.

 

[Kokoloko85]

A few decisions I wouldnt have gone with but overall great game if you like Uncharted/TLOU gameplay.
More gameplay freedom than the first game, some better overal controls and options during combat etc but less like epic situations. It had its moments but I felt there wasnt enough clicker fights either. The island escape was awesome, I enjoyed california.

It felt alot longer than any of the Uncharted games or TLOU. More game for sure.
I have alot of issues too with it but enjoyed it

 

[MikeM]

I finished TLOU Part 2 last night. It was a 10/10 until the ending, which promptly went off a cliff and exploded in mid air.

Curious about this ending.

This is a sales thread, not another TLOU therapy session.

 

[Woggleman]

This must be mistake. The game has terrible legs as ND dropped like a rock after the first week.

 

[kyliethicc]

Its a pretty straightforward measure. I just went onto the US PSN Store and sorted all PS4 games by best selling.

Unsurprisingly the top games right now are PS Plus games, free to play games, sports games, and a few big AAA games.

Like NBA, Madden and FIFA go on sale, so people buy them. Then there's 2 big Sony games, The Last of Us Part II and God of War, both at $20, so people buy them. The new Battlefield game is selling too, no surprise there. And of course free to play games are popular.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

This must be mistake. The game has terrible legs as ND dropped like a rock after the first week.

The game was one of the best selling games of 2020.
When you start with 4M copies sold in 3 days and have sales worth of more than $250M, everything looks frontloaded, lmao.
