Pretty good!

What does this mean for Horizon Forbidden West? We never got a sales announcement from it.

A few comparison points I was able to find:

God of War Ragnarok at 11 million in ~3 months.
Spider-man at 9 million in ~2.5 months. September 7th, 2018 - November 25th, 2018
Uncharted 4 was 8.7 million in ~7 months.  May 10th, 2016 - December 21, 2016
God of War at 10 million in ~12 months.  April 20th, 2018 - April 2019
Horizon at 7.6 million in ~12 months February 28th, 2017 - February 2018
Spider-man Miles Morales was 6.5 million in ~8 months November 12th, 2020 - July 28, 2021

I think I would just assume it didn't smash any records, but that doesn't mean it did poorly.

Might get an update today, before their fiscal reporting tonight.

No way would have Gow:r reached 11 million during this entire gen.

Subscription services the way the are now just don't work IMO. They need adjustments to their business model.

Movies used to rely on a combination of box office, blue Ray sales and then syndication. With netlfix model the only source of revenue is Subscription, its just extremely limited

yeah.  Netflix makes money but their RoI is terrible compared to Disney.
