Here's some data from the asylum(resetera):
Top 9 NPD for Sony launch :
Now, Uncharted 4 sold more than 1m. in 19 days in US. Tlou 2, according to gamestat, sold around 5m. worldwide in 19 days. So let's assume it sold 2.5m. in US.(probably less)
How can Tlou 2 life sales in US already be more than Uncharted 4 life sales(more than 4 years on the market) if the difference in their launch sales are not that big?
Something doesn't add up here. This guy from NPD used some clever shilling wording in his tweet. The only way his info works is if he means life sales in a set period of time after launch. Tlou 2 could be the third best selling PS game of all time in US in 19 days or 1 month after launch or whatever metric this guy used, but didn't tell us, compared to the same number of days after launch for other PS games.
So, yes, i still say Tlou 2 sales are underwelming.
