The Last of Us Sells 3.4 Million: Major Nelson Offers Congrats, 1 Min of Clicker, GOW Meets TLOU Art

As if all the amazing reviews and retail chart domination in the UK and Japan (for the first week at least) weren’t a big enough clue, Sony has confirmed that The Last of Us has sold a whopping 3.4 million copies as of July 3rd, meaning it achieved this number in just under 3 weeks. - PSLS

is what got my friend to drop some $$ on a PS3 this past weekend. It was tough for him as he recently sold off all of his games and systems due to bills.

But since he turned things around, he went and treated himself to a PS3 and copy of TLOU. Bravo ND...truly well done.

[xHeavYx]

That Clicker sound still creeps me out, and Major Nelson's message was quite funny

[izumo_lee]

Clickers freak me out but having a Bloater literally rip your face off is an image i will never forget about this game.

That 'generator' level is one i do not want to experience ever again....unfortunately i have to when i tackle it on survivor....(shiver).

[Gazondaily]

Classy of Major Nelson. TLOU is a watershed moment in gaming as far as invoking emotion and displaying affectionate and realistic characters are concerned.

[BattleTorn]

@izumo_lee

Yeah I remember dying countless times at that part where you have to turn the genny on, and use the keycard....

I finally got past it by doing nothing but sprinting

[Rockstar]

@izumo_lee

I Just played that part. I did a lot of running and hiding and was able to kill all of them

[izumo_lee]

The first time i did that part i wasn't quite sure what to do. I found the generator & started it & all hell broke loose. Wasn't so tense & freaked out in a game for a long time, was shooting the shotgun at anything that ran in my path.

Unfortunately i had to reload the shotgun when the bloater came around the corner just before the escape area using the keycard & got my face opened up. I think i let out a load of curse words & dropped my controller due to the intense moment i just endured. It was FANTASTIC!!

[Rockstar]

Yeah, I had my jaw ripped off a few times before I worked out a strategy. Running and shooting wasn't working for me.

But the more I play this game, the more I'm blown away by how good it is.

[ShugaCane]

Omg that clicker sound would make a perfect ringtone.

[TrendyGamers]

Or the perfect thing to scare people who are alone in a dark room.

[Reverent]

I have the Bloater as my ringtone. God, one of those things trying to rip your jaw off in the dark... *Shutters*

[Majin-vegeta]

Lol i have it on my phone but it's not really long.Just download Zedge and type in clicker.Should be the first option that pops up.

[Virus201]

Can I be blamed for throwing a brick at someone if I hear that ringtone come out of someone's phone?

[Minato-Namikaze]

No, i threw a shoe at my own phone when i heard it, lol

[showtimefolks]

lol or empty bottle?

[SmoothC911]

Agreed, but I'd bet my wife won't when she calls me and that's the ringtone lol

[Wizziokid]

Well deserved for ND.

[BattleTorn]

ND has most definitely earn themselves R* status, in my books - meaning I will buy anything they release without question!

:D

[Majin-vegeta]

Do the sells include DD also or just physical?

I've been trying to get a copy since last week but all my damn places keep selling out :(.

[ILive]

Both. Its not a perfect game, but a truly amazing experience that all videogame enthusiasts should give a shot.

[evenstar]

The sales include Digital Download and physical sales.. trust me, it's worth the wait

[pyramidshead]

No personapersons? He already banned? lulz :P

[latincooker214]

lol i know right or personapersons having sleepy time idk lol. but WOW what a awesome game my vote for G.O.T.Y TLOU FTW:)

[MuhammadJA]

TLOU is better than the whole Resident Evil series combined. :)

[Mikefizzled]

Very bold statement. Resident Evil 4 on PS2 & GC was a masterclass of survival horror when it released.

[Imalwaysright]

What the hell are you talking about? RE inspired TLoU and RE4 is up there with TloU in terms of quality. Both RE4 and TloU are some of the best games ever made and I'm proud to say that I have both in my library of games.

[Mr-SellJack]

Don't go there my friend ur talking about a franchisethat revolutionized a genre and evolved into crap where as TLOU and dead space followed suite the evolution with much better gamescopied their ideas and were heavily influenced.i!m srry but TLOU is no where near re4's lvl the japs revolutionized everything in games

[Sevir]

If you play that game now on PSN and compare it to the first Dead Space and the Second on a Gameplay comparison, Dead space 1 and 2 mops the floor with it. That pause to shoot and no strafing automatically drags tells you this was a ps2/GameCube game... It certainly ushered in Cinematic gameplay experiences and revolutionized survival horror but ummm look at RE5, RE6 RE:ORC... Yeah... The franchise hasn't been itself since the PS2 era and it shows... The Last of Us certainly Takes everything that Resident Evil 4 Pioneered and Rockets it into the stratosphere... Capcom hasn't been able to do that for almost a decade. While Visceral and ND came along and took the genre to new highs...

And to J-Blaze, dude get over yourself, you call the last of us a giant escort mission but Resident evil 4 was the same damn thing if you wanna get technical. What you are is a butthurt hater, Capcom Tried to turn Resident evil into Uncharted after the man who created and reinvented the genre left the company, now RE has been nothing but a skeletal display of its former self trying to cash in on the popular franchises shine on their own merits.

Gamers and Critics... 3.4 million of them have said that The Last of Us was more Resident Evil than the last 4 resident evil games released. And that stands to reason. RE will always be a loved franchise as it was great but after 4, Lol yeah... Let's just stay at RE4 as that was its best moment, if you want a Survival Horror game Dead Space 1 and 2 and The Last of Us especially The Last of Us does the genre that Shinji Created justice Than any of the Drivel Capcom has released Post RE4...

[Mr-SellJack]

My god r u kidding?Re4 urinates over dead space's face any day,i sold them due to poor replay value,10x the enemies,4x the story length,more weapons,much more open than dead space,dead space is a shooter compared to re4,much more haunting and scary.dead space is nowhete near Re4's league.ds is not better than re4 in any way, even in the gfx section,design,environment are leagues ahead of ds.sold dead space 2 because it was damn repetetive after finishing it once,shoot,shoot necromorphs,enemies are pathetic compared to Re4.i would prefer playing Re4 than any dead space.Re4 over ds any day.many last gens own games this current generation mgs ico and re4 aswell as ff are still amazing.

[Imalwaysright]

"The Last of Us certainly Takes everything that Resident Evil 4 Pioneered and Rockets it into the stratosphere."

What? RE4 scope is much more ambitious than TLoU and its atmosphere is miles ahead of TLoU which I don't even consider to be a survival horror. The only thing that TLoU has on RE4 is Ellie which is imo one of the best characters ever made and its story which imo succedes only because Ellie is such a fantastic character.

Im sick and tired of seeing PS fantards dismissing 3rd party games just because they're not exclusive to a Sony console. RE franchise is the reason why you fantards get to play an awesome game like TLoU and instead of appreciating its legacy you idiots start dismissing what it has brought to this industry and worst of all question its quality. Its quite frankly disgusting.

[TrendyGamers]

If you don't put RE4 into that group and judge them by today's standards, you could argue that.

[TechnicianTed]

I'd have to agree really, although you have to put it into perspective. Resident Evil 1-4 were great for their times, then it started going downhill after that.

TLOU is the kind of game Capcom should have been striving to take the series to. But they didn't and Naughty Dog beat them at their own game, and then some.

[Roper316]

"SCE continues to be committed to delivering unique gameplay experiences that redefine the interactive entertainment industry and The Last of Us is a perfect example."

This is why I support the PS brand. Even with the new console just over the horizon Sony is still releasing amazing new IP's like TLOU. MS on the other hand hasn't released a new 1st party core exclusive in around 4 years.

[xReDeMpTiOnx]

Tlou IMO game of the generation.

I'm a grown man and I couldn't believe a video game brought emotions out in me, from the story tellig to the characters to gameplay and graphics everything screams polished!

[Kratos_1986]

hear this from me here im officially :

THE LAST OF US FANBOY !

[latincooker214]

well said Kratos heres bubbles to you my friend TLOU FTW:)

[izumo_lee]

It is well deserved for a game that not only is a new IP but one so late in a consoles life cycle with the next gen just around the corner.

Also it looks like that new advertising company that Sony hired is paying off. Well done to Naughty Dog, Sony & Playstation gamers for supporting this 'one of a kind' experience.

[modesign]

the last of us will be able to fund the next 12 exclusives on ps3/ps4

[b_one]

Clickers are easy, they sound and sometime act strange, but humans are more tricky.(hard lvl)

[ChillOut707]

And Square Enix wasn't happy about the 3.6M sales of Tomb Raider

[vigilante_man]

Tomb Raider is multi-platform and an established franchise. TLOU is a new IP.

But still good figures for Tomb-Raider!

[Kantankoras]

All the sequel request are making me mad... As much as the world of TLOU was fantastic, and definitely could afford more exploration, imagine Naughty Dog taking that attention to detail, that story telling prowess, that passion and expertise to something else? Something new? A Space Opera? Or a Spy game? Or a Fantasy game?

I hate when talent is forced to sit still and do the same thing over.

[TechnicianTed]

I agree. I think the game had a satisfying conclusion, it would be better to leave the game as it is really. I wouldn't mind some DLC to pad out some of the stories for the other characters, like Bill, or even David.

[ajax17]

Still need to add my +1 sale. I hope I can get it soon!

[TBONEJF]

DAMN. THEY DESERVE EVERY PENNY OF THOSE UNITS sold

[king_george]

holy crap :o good job ND! ill be picking my copy up soon. its amazing how big naughty dog has gotten this gen alone. easily one of the best in the biz

[Hueynewton2012]

Why does Major Nelson give a shit? Also why would Sony fans give a shit what about he thinks or says?

The fans and consumers who spent their hard earned money on this game are the only people who matter, fuck what Major Nelson has to say. If he wants to talk so much why doesn't he answer the question as to why so many Xbox 360's broke? He can start there.

[darthv72]

but the suits on the other side of the gaming industry generally have respect for each other.

It shows there is more camaraderie than animosity.

[GraveLord]

Major Nelson is kinda....annoying? I don't know if that's the right word but he shouldn't be around commenting on games on the competing platform, good or bad. Seems kinda attention-whore-y to me.

[Hakoom]

that clicker sound is taken from my channel
exactly the same file
