Some other sales figures to show just how impressive this is:
1. Demon Souls - 1.3 million in 10 months.
2. Returnal - 500k in 3 months.
3. Ratchet - 1 million in 1 months
4. TLOU2 - 4 million in 3 days
5. TLOU2 - 10 million in 2 years.
6. GOWR - 5 million in 7 days.
7. GOWR - 11 million in 2 months.
8. Ghost of Tsushima - 2.4 million in 3 days.
9. Ghost of Tsushima - 9.73 million in 2 years.
10. Horizon FW - ??
11. GT7 - ??
12. TLOU Remake - ??
TLOU2 was clearly far more divisive and likely cost itself sales. It also hit bargin bin prices far sooner than other games on this list. It sucks because i like that Neil tried to do something different with the game and I hate to ask him to appeal to the masses but he might have gone too far in some places.gif.
No idea why Sony wont announce HFW, GT7 and TLOU sales. HFW and GT7 hit the NPD top 12, and TLOU charted at number 2 in the first month. Should we way better than DS, REturnal and Ratchet. HFW was even bundled and should be over 5 million easily.
P.S Hope Phil sees this and realizes that Sony got nearly $770 million in revenue from just one game in 2 months. Even if we assume that sales split was 90:10, you are still looking at $700 million in revenue. Putting Starfield on Gamepass is going to cut into that initial revenue by hundreds of millions.
