If you look at everything that led up to the release of The Last of Us 2, there was no reason why it shouldn't have done more than the first one.
The fuck are you talking about?
Why would it do MORE then a fucking game that was out for 7 years?
Has it been 7 years yet orrrrr?
Shit, using this odd logic, thats like saying Spiderman 2 FLOPPED, yup, didn't do 25 million, not "mOrE dEn dA fRiSTz 1z"
It makes zero sense. So no, we do not generally assist units sold this way, like ever. Most times, we factor it based on a similar time frame or something.
The Last Of Us 2 was at 10 million units sold 2 years in.
The Last Of Us 1 took like 7 years to move 20 million.
Where the fuck you are getting that The Last Of Us 2 was suppose to move 20 million in under 1 year, on 1 platform is beyond me. Even the most wildest fans are not saying this weird shit. Imagine the next God Of War and us acting as if its going to move 20 million that same year lol
I don't know of many IP that have ever equalled the past installments lifetime sales, in 1 year. Unless that last game was some complete fucking flop or something and a reboot or sequel is wildly better or something, it is simply not normal to expect a sequel to match LIFE TIME SALES of a game that had 7 years to sell.
Thats like expecting GTAVI, to move 190 million units......in 2 years. We are all hype for GTA VI, shit I know most of us will buy it day 1.
I don't think anyone here is on some sort of delusion of expecting it to MATCH life time sales in 1 or 2 years.
