Horizon 2 (I think) and tlou2 all had bigger launches but worse legs. I hope gow2 bucks the trend.

Wonder what the ps4/ps5 split is.

It launched on Wednesday instead of Friday like most PlayStation games.

My speciation is that Sony tabulates their numbers through Sunday and don't have 3 day sales numbers.

Its crazy to think this sold almost double uncharted 4s first week.

Gow 2018 sold 5 million in its first month if I remember.

I wonder how fast this will take to sell 10 million

so my wife is finally out of her covid isolation.  got to play for like 45 minutes before we headed out for the holidays. 

progression spoiler
Spoiler for Hidden:
kratos just had his aside with Miramar (sp?) and I just took control of Atreus. I didn't step though the gate but I"m excited at the idea of combat with Atreus instead of kratos.  finally something that isn't so exactly what I did in the original game.

Just think in 5 days, this sold more than the every first party PS1, PS2 title with the exception of the Gran Turismo games.
