Here is the top ten selling PS4 games on Amazon TLOU2 is still in the top ten. It is at number ten but a year later it is still up at the time of this post plus it has a near perfect rating since Amazon tends to avoid review bombing. So much for a game with such bad legs.

How many copies did it sell at launch to keep it still up their. Like I don't think it has been on the npd charts for at least 6 months from what I could find/see.

 

[TheGodfather07]

Isnt last of us 2 sonys biggest launch ever? Yet there are people saying it underperformed? Hate truly is irrational most of the time. It doesn't really matter if it sells 50m. Those people would still find a way to discredit it and come out with bullshit. It's more a reflection on the person than anything.

These charts are updated hourly. If it was selling at round $30 for awhile, then that means its going to be harder to crack the top 20 since its based on revenue and not units sold.

329th overall in video games, below doki doki literature club on the switch, (which as of this comment is like number 36 on switch game charts and 320 overall) Amazon BSR is a neat metric, but if you get granular enough anythings sales can look good. This isn't really evidence of legs, the only thing we actually know about the 12 months after the launch month is that it sold less than mario kart 8 which probably sold 2 to 4 million copies in the US over the last 12 months. So it could have dropped to 11th overall and sold another 3.99 million copies or completely collapsed sold a few hundred thousand more units, we don't know.
Personally, I don't think it met sony's expectations as they've been dead silent about it since the launch month sales were as sony usually toasts sales milestones, they did 2 or 3 additional ones for Ghosts of Tsushima maybe they're waiting for the multiplayer add on for an announcement (part of last of us 2 I'm interested in) but regardless, they've said nothing about it.

it did, but this is about its continuing sales, something can start strong then crater and be a failure, something can start weak and build moment,
it has nothing to do with hate, it has to do with data and legs. sales of games are something discussed on an enthusiast forum,

Okay that makes sense. Like npd and amazon charts barely match at all so that was so weird comparing both charts.

But why is there such an interest and focus on last of us 2's continuing sales? I don't see the same for other games. Its everything to do with hate. They want it so badly to fail they will latch onto anything. They wont accept it either way. Even if the total sales pass the original you know what they'll say? "Bundles" and "bargain bin prices". Theres always an excuse for haters because that's all they are really looking to do. Hate. They were never interested in a serious discussion based on facts.

People keep saying that since they didn't announce sales, that means they weren't satisfied.

If they announce a milestone in 10 million sales, is that going to change things? If that happens, it's like people are going to start saying, "It could've sold a lot more".

According to NowInStock.net, The last of Us Part II Standard Edition went out of stock on July 07 and its now in-stock as of July 15th.

Before that, Pre-orders were taken March 16th and went out of stock March 17th. It wasn't until April 1st that it went back in-stock at Amazon.

This happens with some games for a few days, but we're talking at least a week with the game going out of stock.

People think Sony is out there reporting sales for games like Ghost of Tsushima and that's not the case (after the initial launch).


Screenrant reported the sales of 6.5 million and they likely asked them how many copies it sold when they were making a report about the film adaption.

EXCLUSIVE: Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions are developing a film adaptation of the hugely successful action adventure game Ghost of Tsushima, with Chad Stahelski attached to direct. The g…

deadline.com

Before that, New York Times reported the sales figures.

Ghost of Tsushima has sold 5 million since July

Sony's first-party line-up continues to be pretty popular.

www.vg247.com

After these were reported, Sony just said, "Yeah, we did". I just predict that they will announce the sales figures or it will get revealed through Sony's quarterly reports. I can see people going from the game didn't sell well to, it didn't sell nearly as well as it could have and Sony is still disappointed with sales.

[ReBurn]

One Sony game outsold two other Sony games. Who is the winner and who is the loser? Seems like no matter how you look at it Sony did well.

I can't see how this means anything. Even after reading all of these comments. It's just fanboys eating each other alive over trivia.

 

[Umbral]

God of War was regularly discounted. It was also cheaper then TLOU 2 on many occasions.

You guys don't bother looking this stuff up.

I don’t bother because I’m not trying to convince you of anything, I’m simply correcting inaccuracies. You are unable to be convinced of something that contradicts what you’ve built so many arguments on top of.

There's nothing to correct. I stick to facts, unlike several people in this thread who always show up in TLOU related threads to either complain about the same things or try to prove its a failure.

Simply put, you guys need to move on.

Amazing, that this still exists after we have the numbers and finally know how made up this whole topic was:

As expected, almost all the sales within the first month and huge drop after word to mouth kicked in. It lived of the legacy of the first game. That is why it was discounted so heavy and never was back in the sales charts unlike Ghost or Miles. A month after launch and the sales of whole year were worse than Mario Kart 8 (2017) for example (without digital sales). It will be a huge suprise if TLOU 2 would reach a third of the userbase of the first game. The game has not legs at all.

That is why full price Ghost and Miles are still in the charts; Ghost even a year after launch. Even the Final Fantasy Remake made it back.

Oh yeah, just in case i will add monthly playstation charts

Same thing happened with God of War. Based on your logic, leaving the top 10 after 12 months proves the legs weren't long. The same thing happened with these games and the same will happen with GoT.

That is why full price Ghost and Miles are still in the charts; Ghost even a year after launch. Even the Final Fantasy Remake made it back.

Oh yeah, just in case i will add monthly playstation charts

God of War and Spider-Man permanently dropped after 6 months. Ghost of Tsushima is still full price because they just released a Director's cut version. It still sold millions less than TLOU.


If someone has to keep pointing out the fact that you keep posting misleading and false information, then maybe you need to start taking a hint.

Well said, awful game that sold a lot based on the previous title.

 

[Lupingosei]

It still sold millions less than TLOU.

You still pretend as if that was true, but you don't have single official number to back that up.

You try to make some crazy connections between God of War and TLOU 2, to somehow back things up, how the discounts were no big problem.

btw. I like that you use August and September numbers, when GoW was realeased in April 2018

If we are just looking at the data, Ghost of Tsushima beat it in the 12 months TLOU2 debut in terms of dollar sales. The thread of based off this right? Well the chart is pretty clear when it comes to that unless someone at NPD made a mistake. When this thread was made, the opposite was true, but that is not longer the case just a month later.

 

[DForce]

You still pretend as if that was true, but you don't have single official number to back that up.

I don't need to pretend. I showed you the charts from both Europe and US, which make up the vast majority of the PlayStation user base. The Last of Us Part II is close to Ghost of Tsushima in the US, but The Last of Us Part II is FAR ahead of Ghost of Tsushima in Europe.

They're not making up ground in other regions when its behind in the US and Europe.

You try to make some crazy connections between God of War and TLOU 2, to somehow back things up, how the discounts were no big problem.

You're trying to prove the legs weren't long by showing results AFTER a 12 month period. You can compare the charts AFTER the 12 month period to God of War and Spider-Man 2018 and see that it dropped off at the 13 months.

This means you don't understand what you're even posting.

btw. I like that you use August and September numbers, when GoW was realeased in April 2018

No, I said the SAME thing happened to God of War. Go look it up. It left the top 10 charts because it doesn't calculate the first months numbers.



All of this proves that you're in denial. lol

Lupingosei doesn't understand this.

The Last of Us released in June it was obvious that it was going to drop out of the top 10. The same thing will happen with Ghost of Tsushima next month.

For someone who tries to bring up sales numbers, he doesn't even understand how NPDs work.... or how to even calculate a 12 month period.

Again you pretend that you have numbers, but you don't. Nothing you just said is based on any official numbers.

You somehow pretend, that millions of sales were made in Europe, without any numbers to back it up. Some charts, but again without any numbers.

Playstation downloads of 2020, not even in the Top 5 for the whole year and in the US even behind Ghost. But somehow it is that huge success, which was not even able to outsell a 3 year old Mario Kart after the launch month.

And the place wo do have numbers, in Japan Ghost outsold it easily. If it was such a huge success, again why is Sony not giving any sales updates or at least Druckmann at one point has to show anything, just to own the haters.

But we get nothing.

Why does this even matter when Ghost of Tsushima is behind Last of Us Part II in physical + digital sales in the US?

But somehow it is that huge success, which was not even able to outsell a 3 year old Mario Kart after the launch month.

Neither could God of War. Ghost of Tsushima is going to fall. Nintendo games have proven to sell well after the first year. The same CANNOT be said by the vast majority of games out there.

You're not 'sounding' very bright right now.

I am so sorry, of course you are right this changes everything. It sold less in less time, this proves everything.

But I like your crazy numbers game, you mix up everything so much until it makes sense somehow. The place you do show numbers, like the UK would not even be enough to make up the difference of sales for Japan alone.

I showed you numbers overall in Europe.

And no, Japan is not enough to make up ground.

You just have to give it a rest. Somehow US alone proves your point, but you think all other regions are irrelevant.

One has to wonder, why Sony doesn't update game sales anymore...

 

[EDMIX]

One has to wonder, why Sony doesn't update game sales anymore...

? They actually still do.

They might be saving a Last Of Us 2 update when they MP is ready or when the remake of 1 is ready for reveal etc. We don't know what they are planning as to why they are not just stating such things every 6 months or something lol

Some times those statements get made during press events or investor calls etc. The game is already breaking a shit load of records as is, I don't get this stupid goal post of "why Sony doesn't update" as if now suddenly that is the last ray of hope or something, when they do confirm the records its clearly broken for them yet again, whats next? Sony isn't updating us 2 days after, something must be wrong? lol

This isn't some massive "wonder" type thing, they reveal data when they feel like it, they never had some ironclad thing on even doing that. For all you know, they tell you that data when that remaster, ie Directors Cut The Last Of Us 2.

 

[DForce]

The place you do show numbers, like the UK would not even be enough to make up the difference of sales for Japan alone.

Holy shit! I mean, I knew that the Switch was popular in Japan, but that chart takes it to a whole new level..!

 

[prinz_valium]

? They actually still do.

They might be saving a Last Of Us 2 update when they MP is ready or when the remake of 1 is ready for reveal etc. We don't know what they are planning as to why they are not just stating such things every 6 months or something lol

Some times those statements get made during press events or investor calls etc. The game is already breaking a shit load of records as is, I don't get this stupid goal post of "why Sony doesn't update" as if now suddenly that is the last ray of hope or something, when they do confirm the records its clearly broken for them yet again, whats next? Sony isn't updating us 2 days after, something must be wrong? lol

This isn't some massive "wonder" type thing, they reveal data when they feel like it, they never had some ironclad thing on even doing that. For all you know, they tell you that data when that remaster, ie Directors Cut The Last Of Us 2.

For UC4, God of War and Spider-Man the constantly updated the sales numbers.

For TLOU 2 and GoT they only ever published launch sales.

 

[evanft]

The best part of this game was how it lives completely rent free in so many people's heads.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

It's a shame this game became a political hot rod. Blame Drubkmann, blame the fans, I don't care. It's got excellent gameplay and pacing. Wish that was the center of the conversation.
That said, I do recognize the importance of story in these games and can see how that element would throw people off from the game.

The encounters are so good though. Some of them I replayed over and over.

 

[Cyber_hunter026]

 

[MrHydra933BR]

But there is a crucial diference: In 10 years, GoT will still be fondly remembered. And TLOU won't.

 

[Lupin25]

But there is a crucial diference: In 10 years, GoT will still be fondly remembered. And TLOU won't.

Lol... Nonsense.

 

[Tripolygon]

But there is a crucial diference: In 10 years, GoT will still be fondly remembered. And TLOU won't.

9 years on and we're still talking about TLOU.

 

[mckmas8808]

Well said, awful game that sold a lot based on the previous title.

You're going to be really mad once TLOU: Factions is annouced.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

I'm damn excited to finally play this game on PS5 at sweet 60 frames. That must have been a sweet upgrade, yeah?
The only thing I'd like now are more alternate outfits. That may be trivial for some, but I love having a cool tactical outfit, mask, or helmet in game like this. I'm weird like that.

Has anyone played the perma-death mode? I think I'm going to do it by chapter on my next playthrough, as well as use New Game+, so I can use the assault rifles and such from the start. I love the options in this game. How have you all been tweaking the game?

 

[Woggleman]

It is indeed great on PS5. I don't know if I have the balls to play perma-death. I recently beat it on grounded but if I get all the way up to Santa Barbara and then die I know I will be raging. I also wish I didn't spend all my points on concept art and game models so I can enjoy some of those filters and modifiers.

 

[EDMIX]

For UC4, God of War and Spider-Man the constantly updated the sales numbers.

For TLOU 2 and GoT they only ever published launch sales.

Thats actually false.

Several other Sony titles have not gotten "constantly updated" and one can argue even the fucking thing you are talking about hasn't had ENOUGH TIME to even factor into this, as 1 year has passed, its not like Sony told us 6 different updates on the games you listed, 1 year after release. In fact, you need ot even prove that Sony during 1 year gave us SEVERAL UPDATES to argue something isn't happening that has happened before, the current Spiderman Miles Morales right now is not getting any "constantly updated" type treatment and we know its selling very well same with The Last Of Us 2.

Also Ghost was literally updated BEYOND those "published launch sales".

So basically everything in your post is factually incorrect.

So no, GoT did not ONLY get a update for launch sales.

Ghost of Tsushima Sells 5 Million Copies, Sets New PS4 Record

Other games like Marvel's Spider-Man and The Last of Us 2 have sold even faster but are not PlayStation “originals”.

gadgets.ndtv.com

That is factuall wrong.


So what it tells me is Sony updates shit when they feel like it. We see little reason to not update folks on some of those games sales other then waiting for a press event, investor call, sequel announcement etc because they games they are not updating, we already know are BREAKING RECORDS FOR SONY, so its not this mystierous thing that they might want to hold out until the Director's Cut announcement or MP announcement or remake of The Last Of Us 1 or reveal of Spiderman 2 before giving out other updates on sales.

'Uncharted 4: A Thief's End' Sold An Incredible 8.7 Million Copies In 2016

'Uncharted 4' has done something rather incredible for a console-exclusive game not sold by Nintendo. It's put up enormous sales since launch, and Sony is now bragging about the figures.

Does this mean Uncharted 4 MUST have failed cause Sony didn't update us every 5 seconds? hmmmmm



Nope.

Niko Partners: Uncharted 4 sold 16 million copies, The Last of Us – 20 million | Game World Observer

Naughty Dog celebrates 10th anniversary of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Daniel Ahmad, an analyst at Niko Partners, used this opportunity to discuss the sales of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.

gameworldobserver.com

It must means they didn't continue to keep telling folks those numbers at all times, they have NEVER had any standard of this to really make it sound like it was common place. Several years pasted after UC4's release where we heard that figure sir. As in, Sony didn't just keep telling us every year how many copies it sold or something.

So the fact that they even said this in August of last year means that fucking game is moving gangbusters for them.

www.eurogamer.net

From just several months on sale, not even a full year, to hear it even moving units beyond Spiderman and Ghost is not that shocking and it simply sounds like they want to wait before they get a unit update during some event, reveal, investor call etc, but again, that isn't a thing that is a standard thing that we can argue was always exact, even from games that did well, its not like we got several a year on updates.


I think over time they didn't want to keep posting those and decided to just wait, as to why certain titles didn't keep getting updated, despite doing extremely well in sales. I mean, you literally see the data on those games doing well, why you NEED Sony to update to goal post is beyond me. They are just going to confirm the numbers you already see projected by lots of this data anyway. Why not tell folks The Last Of Us 2 outsold Ghost and Miles Morales? Maybe they want that statement during the MP reveal and the remake of 1 reveal or the remaster and or Directors Cut of 2 etc So even if they don't tell us for years, that wouldn't' be the first time as they've done that many times.

 

[DForce]

Amazing, that this still exists after we have the numbers and finally know how made up this whole topic was:

As expected, almost all the sales within the first month and huge drop after word to mouth kicked in. It lived of the legacy of the first game. That is why it was discounted so heavy and never was back in the sales charts unlike Ghost or Miles. A month after launch and the sales of whole year were worse than Mario Kart 8 (2017) for example (without digital sales). It will be a huge suprise if TLOU 2 would reach a third of the userbase of the first game. The game has not legs at all.

Just a quick bump

Remember what I told you last month? You used this as proof that the game was doing bad.

I told you it was going to drop off next month.

Neither could God of War. Ghost of Tsushima is going to fall. Nintendo games have proven to sell well after the first year. The same CANNOT be said by the vast majority of games out there.

You're not 'sounding' very bright right now.

Guess what happened?

No Ghost of Tsushima.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Say what you will about TLOU2 story, but its quality is far superior to Miles and GoT. Plus, ppl sure love zombie games. I'm sure Spiderman 3 will outsell TLOU2 tho.

 

[It's all in the wrist]

All of those games are great. TLOU2 was my favorite game of the entire generation, and it followed up the most highly acclaimed game ever, so this isn't surprising at all?

 

[Sander Cohen]

Miles Morales will eclipse them all at this pace.
