This would be true if NPD covered the world instead of one region. Data suggests that globally TLOU2 is outpacing every other PS title in terms of sales.

You hate Spider Man for being for everyone, but not The Last Of Us II for being for every gender, making it literally for everyone?

Are these sold-in numbers or sold-through? There's a good deal of mounting evidence of unsold copies just sitting around on store shelves, especially in Asian countries. So I'm inclined to believe these are sold-in numbers.

The next Naughty Dog game on PS5 is going to sell like hotcakes and look like real life

Im guessing Doom Eternal and Final Fantasy are the ones ahead of it?

I hate when they give the data in milestone riddles. Say the damn numbers already and people can make the comparisons.

Just North America. Also these TLOU2 numbers are only with 16 days of sales being tracked.

It better should, in 2020 it has a much larger user base (nearly 120 million) than the other good PS4 AAAs.

1 is Modern Warfare and 2 is Animal Crossing. Final Fantasy is 4th and Doom will be in the low 20s I think (Doom doesn't have digital sales tracked).

The legs could be worse, but we don't know how well digital sales are tracking now that more people are at home more than ever.
It's 4 million copies vs 3.2 within the first 3 days, which means the first 3 days of digital sales were likely much higher in comparison to Spider-Man and God of War.

Pandemic affects physical sales, there are no digital sales being reported outside of NPD.

My guess is that wouldn't be your response if the thread was about Modern Warfare being the number one on the list

Considering this news, It seems that we have a case of the vocal minority, since social media gives the false impression that most people hate The Last of Us Part II despite this news indicating the opposite.

Obviously. Did anyone think the negativity around the game you see here on GAF is what most people think? No, most people are not angry that this game features gay and trans people.

I guess xD
So maybe they are tracking sold-through, I hope so. But there's no guarantee other equivalents in other countries are doing so.
Been in plenty for years, but thanks for your concern

More like marketing and hype sells. The game's story is completely awful and poorly executed...kind of like certain characters in said story xD.
Gameplay is nothing special though it's competent and functional. No major glitches which is a rarity in most AAA games these days so props there.

You're right, the game's a narrative and thematic mess IMHO. Pretty big for a story-driven game

9 of 10 playable on PS4, 3 exclusives. Impressive.
Wait! MLB The Show 20 on PS4 is ahead of Madden on all platforms? (I'm guessing Madden was front loaded & sold most of it's units in 2019 but NBA 2K20 is still moving units)
