MW2? Why not compare it with Madden while you're at it.

So what would be competition then?

 

[Represent.]

Everyone should have expected this to surpass the TLOU 2 record. This is a cross gen game, basically multiplatform...

Those 110 million PS4s didn't just disappear... And now theres an additional 20ish million PS5s.

On one hand this is great news, on the other, I hope this doesn't encourage Sony to keep rolling out cross gen trash after seeing these numbers...

 

[Mownoc]

That's impossible. Neogaf told me this game was marketed terribly.

 

[Topher]

Shut up the "it is just DLC crowd" at least.

edit: nah....apparently there are some still lingering around. sigh

 

[GhostOfTsu]

Cross-gen trash that looks and plays better than next-gen exclusives like Gotham Knights and Plague Tale.

It's meaningless when you have talented studios like Sony.

 

[TGO]

The only question is will it surpass TLOU2 record.

It'll be like Usain Bolt Vs Melissa McCarthy.

 

[Forsete]

Its a fantastic game.

Well deserved.

 

[jm89]

I'll take cross gen for the rest of the gen if it means we can keep 60fps. *Puts on flame suit*

 

[MasterCornholio]

Shut up the "it is just DLC crowd" at least.

It's more of the same though. Which is why it didn't review highly.

Oh wait that didn't happen.



Don't forget they rushed it and its a buggy mess. Oh wait that didn't happen either.

These guys need new material.

I’m not talking about Ragnarok when I say cross gen trash. I’m talking generally.

If this sells amazingly then they have no reason to change their strategy

Which would suck

 

[MasterCornholio]

Probably going to be this one.

 

[MasterCornholio]

The next SSM game would take around 4-5 years to make if we are talking about this team. Very doubtful the PS4 will be supported that much longer.

 

[jm89]

Eventually they will, probably as soon as next year.

Jim said before the ps5 launch they wanted to quickly move people over to the ps5, but that got hampered by the chip shortages.

Next year is where that strategy will will come true, with a revised console and possible price drop. Jimbo will be dropping those suckers out of planes.

 

[TheGodfather07]

Looks like god of war has a good chance of beating the current record held by last of us 2. It won't be for long though, because spider-man 2 will surpass it next year. Sony continue to roll in hit after hit. They just don't stop.

[jroc74]

There's zero competition. You can see why Sony pushed for it to release in 2022.

Yeah, because Sony knew last year other games were gonna get delayed until next year, amirite?

The avatar bet thread this year started precisely because of one delay into 2023.

Yes no competition besides indie games like COD and Pokemon next week

 

[SLB1904]

I thought that comment was a joke

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Dear PlayStation,

Keep creating outstanding, single player GOTY contenders and continue to make $$$, it's a very simple formula, don't worry about what the "competition" is doing.

Love,
An OG fan

 

[Hobbygaming]

Seeing great SP games becoming successful warmths my soul

 

[Ronin_7]

Spidey 2 numbers will be bonkers lol

 

[Hobbygaming]

Spidey 2 numbers will be bonkers lol

 

[tommib]

Spidey 2 numbers will be bonkers lol

Only if it’s cross-gen.

 

[SLB1904]

Only if it’s cross-gen.

Lol what ha ha ha

You just wait

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Only if it’s cross-gen.

You guys really think ps4 did all that huh. I wouldn’t be surprised if ps5 sales for this are around 65/70% of everything.

In a year PS5 will have sold around 20 more million consoles. Spider-Man is too big to ignore here

 

[sendit]

Spidey 2 numbers will be bonkers lol

I don’t know, I feel like people are getting tired of Marvel. Disney has fully saturated the market.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Are you saying spiderman 2 will be "movie".... An interactive movie?

 

[sendit]

Are you saying spiderman 2 will be "movie".... An interactive movie?

Technically any game with cinematic presentation is an interactive movie.

 

[yazenov]

Only if it’s cross-gen.

Excluding Japan, the lion's share of 1st party and 3rd party games software sales are on the PS5. And that's with the estimated 25 million userbase.

People are already moving onto current gen consoles and by the time Spider-Man 2 is released, there will be a more healthy userbase to sustain its sales.

 

[Hobbygaming]

I don’t know, I feel like people are getting tired of Marvel. Disney has fully saturated the market.

 

[Ronin_7]

Only if it’s cross-gen.

Nah, by that day there will be well over 50M PS5s sold already.

 

[reksveks]

Spider-man 2 will easily beat GOWR.

What's also interesting will be the amazon US charts:

Alot of bundles in the top 10 for yesterday

Damn uncharted 4 was huge! There's no way there isn't another one coming.

 

[Imru’ al-Qays]

I mean, we are in a major gaming drought. I've been considering buying this game even though I know I won't particularly like it just because there's been nothing to play since Elden Ring came out nine months ago.

 

[Pelta88]

It took me a second to get it, but when I did... I damn near spilt my drink

 

[Kokoloko85]

The only question is will it surpass TLOU2 record.

What record?

 

[Thief1987]

What record?

First week sales for Sony's first-party games - 4 million.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

First week sales for Sony's first-party games - 4 million.

I think it was for its first 3 or 4 days only.

 

[Thief1987]

I think it was for its first 3 or 4 days only.

Calendar week, so for TLOU2 it will be 3 days. Ragnarok will have longer "week"

In what time frames are these?How long did it take to achieve these numbers?Ok saw some answers above me so a calendar week so 7 days

 

[KungFucius]

wtf?
Day one...physical alone was bigger in 2022 than God of War (2018) in its first full week? Holy shit?

And all this in a time physical media is dying...

Yeah this is breaking TLOU2 record for sure.

Physical media will die as soon as consoles stop supporting it. I bought the game and I intend to sell it. Though usually I end up not having the motivation to do so.

These should be uk physical launch weeks numbers so if released Friday, then it's 3 days etc.
