It's not like it's in the thread title.I didn't know we were only talking about Japanese sales.
Second week of sales in UK
Definitely normal considering high first week sales.
Nothing to see here, just another failed narrative.

4 million is 3 days, god wtf are people on these days....First week sales weren't terribly impressive either.
Similar happened in UK...but it seems is normal that kind of drop.
99% of sales were digital.........Ran out of stock

We see this every game yet see are calling it a "victory." And I just don't get it. With an 80% Drop of 4 Million + in the first 3 days the game is sitting somewhere between 7 and 8 million.
very interesting. What is the source?
Sales of Halo 5: Guardians dropped 78 per cent last week as the sci-fi shooter falls from the top spot to No.4. Assassin’s Creed drops three places to No.5 as sales decline 55 per cent.
Black Ops III holds tight at second place in spite of a 50 per cent drop in sales, while last week’s No.1, Fallout 4, drops to third place as sales decline 80 per cent.
Rockstar/Take 2s GTA V drops to No2 (-83%) but even with such a drop this week 2 number is equivalent to being the 18th biggest week if ranked against week 1 sales of any other games ever released. Microsoft are back in the Top 3 after a 5 week break thanks to Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition, No3 (-2%) and Konami drop 2 places to No4 having debuted last week with Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 (-46%). Sony drop 2 places to No5 with The Last of Us (-41%) and Ubisofts Rayman Legends re-enters the Top 10 thanks to some price promotion, No10 (+34%).
Not exactly as sales is pretty good. The 2nd hand market is flooded with it though kaitori is buying it for 2,800 yen (for reference RE3: 2,600, Sekiro: 3,700, FF7R: 3,800 Persona5R: 4,400).So Japanese saw the game was riddled with western identity politics and stopped buying it, good.

Think people are desperate to "prove" that the game is failing when it comes to sales.
Seems like it, you got the God of War and Spiderman numbers?Second week of sales in UK

Stop using the 8.7M LTD figures for Uncharted 4Not for Sony 1st party as of the past 3 or so years. GoW4 only had a 36% drop in its second week in UK, and SpiderMan had only a 42% drop 2nd week. FWIW, UC4 is the only other Sony 1st party I can think of that had a similar heavy 2nd week drop in UK (78%), and it totaled out to 8.7 million LTD (that also includes system bundles and copies on sale at large discounts). I dunno if its 2nd week in Japan was nearly as hard as TLOU2's though.
Earlier I said this game could end up doing 5-6 million LTD without heavy discounts and bundling That might have been underselling it, but I honestly don't think that prediction was terribly off. They can maybe get between 7 million and 8 million for LTD but it's kind of clear that a lot of 'normies' aren't necessarily responding well to the game's story (for those who've played it so far), and that goes for streamers who are more or less clean of any politicized controversies. I've seen it myself watching quite a few of said streams, and normies watch those a lot (I hate using the term "normies" btw, but it's just to make a point).
7.5 million LTD, I honestly think that's the upper limit for TLOU2 lifetime sales without heavy padding through console bundles this holiday season. Which Sony may or may not even be able to do because they're shifting their focus over to PS5, clearly (and I don't think PS5s bundled with copies of a PS4 game are going to go over well for people who want PS5 games, just sayin').
BOMBA!
Seriously tho, how big is Japanese market? At least as far as home consoles and AA/AAA hames go? Aren't they mainly interested in mobile gaming?
People are allowed to like the thing you don't like.

So as I said. The game has the same legs as Uncharted 4. Not Spiderman or God of War. High anticipation and upfront demand. Steep drop.
Numbers for the UK market are similar
There is no pandemic in Japan for whatever reason.Famitsu does not include Digital Data. Pretty stupid to get anything out of that during a pandemic
It’s an island. If they isolate (which they already mostly do) the rest of the world doesn’t affect them.There is no pandemic in Japan for whatever reason.

So GTA V dropped even more than TLOU2 and that game is not a failure by any means no matter what you think of it?
Pretty much nothing sells as much as GTA but it shows that a second week drop off does not mean long term failure.Yeah but GTA V sold 11.21 million copies in the first week, i doubt that TLOU2 sell that many copies in their lifetime.
Thicc_miss_information_are_teh_bestStop using the 8.7M LTD figures for Uncharted 4
LTD = life to date
You are spreading mis information on your post.
Uncharted 4 sold over 16M, The Last Of Us over 20M units - WholesGame
Daniel Ahmad, Senior Analyst at Niko Partners, has reported the sales figures of a few Naughty Dog games in light on Uncharted 2’s 10 year anniversary.wholesgame.com
I think it will depend on if there is a PS5 version but it's definitely possible that TLOU2 hits 12 million or more.Yeah but GTA V sold 11.21 million copies in the first week, i doubt that TLOU2 sell that many copies in their lifetime.
