Extremely impressive. It doesn't specify shipped or sold through, so I presume shipped since Sony always makes sold through clear. Still, excellent performance.

I guess there must have been less than 400k on the shelves, which meant it sold through more than Uncharted 4.

BananaKing

Shipped or sold? Big difference. Either way still hugely impressive.

Oh shame, they just clarified sold through. dang, this is phenomenal then. And its holding super well second week too :o

I imagine this will be a bigger PS4 launch than Far Cry 5 or MHW, so the biggest of the year so far.

fudge. That sold more than uncharted and in less time. 3 days Vs a week. Kratos just kicked Nathan drakes dog.

3.1 million is massive. I really can't believe this lol

Good thing people worried because of UK first week sales.

3 million in the first 10 days would be crazy. 3 million in just 3 days? Insane.

Sony took their time with this press release. Made everyone think it needed a couple weeks to sell a few million.

It was the best opening for a GoW game in UK, no?

Fantastic sales. UK and Japan only dropped 35% week 2. Second week sales could well be over a million. I'd guess 5m shipped in its first month. Insane sales.

God of war 2 could honestly open 5m plus at this rate. The hype will be through the roof.

Only 5m shipped in a month when it will sell well over 4.1m in 10 days??
