“The Last of Us: Part II now ranks as the third best-selling Sony-published game in U.S. history in dollar sales, trailing only Marvel’s Spider-Man, and 2018’s God of War.”
There are youtubers that tried to say the game didn't sell well at all. They tried to say that the initial 4 million pre-order sales were all hype, then after the first week, sales then dropped off a cliff and the game was a failure.
OH HOW WRONG THEY WERE. Lets hope they report on this, but you know they won't. The success of The Last Of Us part 2 does not fit their narrative.
I just saw a sad little tweet about how the game was 'crushed' in sales by Ghost of Tsushima, and how much of a loser Druckmann was. Those people still seem to be seething over the game's success.
@ Neon, yeah, and it's a hand-held with no competition that purposefully did not launch alongside Sony of MS.
The vast majority of Switch owners also own a PS4 or Xbox One. It's a companion handheld to go alongside a PS4. Show me a person that only owns a Switch and no other last gen console, and I'll show a person that's in a small minority.
Well done to Miles Morales. It was just released in November and made the top 20 highest selling games of the entire year coming in at number 12.
And some sales guesstimation speculation articles and reddit threads tried to say the game flopped. Of course it didn't sell as well as Spider-Man, but it's a raging success.
Anyone thinking The Last of Us Part II isn't going to sell very well is delusional. What I am interested in, however, is how its sequel (if exists) will perform. People who played it don't seem to talk about it as much as the first game.
I'm sure if there is another The Last of Us game, I'm sure it will do well, considering how The Last of Us Part II received by far the most game of the year awards in 2020: https://www.gameawards.net/...
I'm so happy Tony Hawk Pro Skater made the top 20, the game is perfect and everything a remake should be so I cant wait for them to hopefully remake 3 &4 as well as the underground series.
I feel like if the game was released after the holiday rush it would have done much better in early 2022. Sometimes these publishers make no sense like when EA released battlefield and titan fall few weeks from each other
Not a fair comparison are you overlooking the fact CP was one of the most hyped releases of past 10+ years while this game was called a different name before it got a name change
Not only was it a new IP, but the NAME... the name is crazy obscure. They messed up with the name of the game big time imo. I know avid gamers that have no idea that the game even exists, let alone what it's called.
It was originally called Gods & Monsters and got a name change late in production . I don’t think many people realized it and it didn’t get much publicity after the change
Nintendo is all over the list. Third highest selling game of the group. For all the grief Call Of Duty gets, twelve years in a row at the top of the list is impressive.
We can put COD there every year that franchise no matter what anyone says sells. It's been a while since I bought one and when I do it's usually for single player anyway
Nintendo is the "superior company"? lol....yeah, about that. Of the three, Microsoft is the "superior company" in every way. And it isn't even close. Revenue tops $140 billion a year. Next is Sony with over $70 billion a year.
Nintendo comes in last at $12 billion. Hell, Sony's gaming segment alone brings in more than that at $20 billion. As a gaming company, Sony is superior to both Nintendo and Microsoft in regards to revenue.
But why is that? Well, while you are bragging you somehow failed to realize that the majority of the games on that list are not on Switch at all. That is a hell of a lot of revenue going to PS and Xbox that Switch never sees.
So yeah, congrats to Nintendo on Animal Crossing doing well, but you seriously need to step back from the kool-aid you are drinking when it comes to judging companies.
Glad to see Miles Morales make the list. It is such a great follow up the OG Spider-Man game. I really hope they make Miles more of a central character in the sequel and or release DLC for the PS4/PS5 game. I need more of it. Glad to see The Last of Us Part 2 sold well. I am enjoying my first playthrough of it and I have no problems with it thus far. Pretty solid list overall besides seeing CoD and Madden on the list

Nice!

Seems like everyone's eating, cant ask for more🤷♂️
Some people are not going to be happy seeing You know what on that list. They will more than likely say, Sony is paying them and the list is rigged.
