Why?! So far HFW and GT7 legs are better than HZD and GTS.Legs won't be as good as the first game,
Honestly, I disagree. I think the legs will be stronger. Especially since this is actually Sony's first "sequel" in the last decade that didn't get hit by backlash or controversies (which Uncharted 4, Horizon 2, The Last of Us 2 all did). People are going to be picking this up for their PS5s through the entire generation.Legs won't be as good as the first game, but still this result is amazing when you consider PS5 stock issues and the higher prices.
If you do consider the PS5 stock issues, then why wouldn't this have strong legs?Legs won't be as good as the first game, but still this result is amazing when you consider PS5 stock issues and the higher prices.
I don't think they mean launch game as in a game launching alongside a console, I think it is just awkward wording for "game launch". The point they are making is that Ragnarok has the best launch of any PS first party game ever.'Launch game' is a somehow poor choice of words. The PS5 launched two years ago.
Still, congrats Santa Monica.
The sales figures are as of November 13th.Very nice results, I was worried we weren't gonna get any PR at all for this like the last couple of games, but I'm glad we got these numbers because they are very impressive. Although I do agree that it is mildly annoying we got 1st week instead of 3 days which makes it slightly inconvenient to compare to other Sony releases.
Talent won, since that order also happens to correspond to those games' respective qualityYour turn, Spidey.
- God of War: Ragnarök - 5.1m FW (5 days)
- The Last of Us Part II - 4.0m FW (3 days)
- Spider-Man (2018) - 3.3m FW (3 days)
- God of War (2018) - 3.1m FW (3 days)
5 days, God of War launched on November 9th.The sales figures are as of November 13th.
So it's still 3 days at the end
Sony's first pirty just keeps continuing on growing.
Could we be looking at a 3M+ NPD opening here?
GoW 18 did 5M in its 1st month, so I expect 7-8.5M in its first month for GoW R going off the 1.5x increase in physical sales we've seen.
If GoW is this big, I expect Spiderman 2 to be even bigger.
Spider man 2 will destroy some records man!
Crazy to think they are now outselling the previous record in a matter of days.As long as the stock continues to improve into what i assume is fall next year with that possible slim model releasing.
This is also interesting for the fact that the highest selling game in the original trilogy was God of War 3 at just a little over 5 million copies LTD
First 5 days (Nov 9-13)Is this a full week or the usual 3 day first week that comes from how games usually release partway through the tracking week?

Also a very minor pet peeve, but I prefer "launch" over "launch game". "launch game" in this context is confusing to me because I think of a game coming out alongside the launch of a system.
GoW3 sold ~7.6 million unitsThis is also interesting for the fact that the highest selling game in the original trilogy was God of War 3 at just a little over 5 million copies LTD
First 5 days (Nov 9-13)
Thanks for the clarification! It slipped my mind this was a Wednesday and not a Friday release.First "tracked week" which always ends on the Sunday after launch. So Friday releases count a 3 day total, and Wednesday releases count a 5 day total.
This is launch week ending Sun Nov 19, so five days counted.
Neat but how much of that is bundled?
At some point it becomes really, really hard to beat the previous record.Your turn, Spidey.

So, she had a really good source then, @Jorge , @MegaXZero ?? It was tweeted just 5 days after launch. LOL
They don’t have a source, you’ve been told this. This isn’t up for debate. They said the target was to essentially be above GoW’s launch. Everyone predicted that (I said as much if you actually read my comment). Do we all have sources?

No, she doesn't. Anyone could've made the same comment since GOW18 did 3M or so and TLOU2 4M+.
Also
Like i've said above, well, she said that spoked with someone, though
