As the tweet says that makes it Sony's biggest new IP launch of PS4, beating HZD. Outstanding performance. Given what we know that makes it the fifth fastest selling PS4 exclusive game (sell through only):

  • TLOU Part II : 4M in 3 days
  • Spider-Man : 3.3M in 3 days
  • God of War : 3.1M in 3 days
  • Ghost of Tsushima : 2.4M in 3 days
  • Uncharted 4 : 2.7M in 1 week
  • Horizon Zero Dawn : 2.6M in 2 weeks
  • inFamous SS : 1M in 9 days
  • Bloodborne : 1M in 12 days
  • Detroit Become Human : 1M in 2 weeks


Given Uncharted 4 is 7 days then Ghost could actually be outselling that to be in #4 spot. That's just an insane level of performance.

Deserved, it's a great game.

It's kind of crazy how so many of Sony's games are getting these kinds of numbers.  Previous gens, these were lifetime sales for most of their bigger titles excluding Gran Turismo.

Its possibly the biggest story of this generation. Sony has become a juggernaut publisher, all of their games are trusted to be high quality and are huge. Sony's reputation has gone from being on the level of hardcore gamers liking their franchises to basically everyone who follows gaming trusting Sony to put out at least a good game every time.

Gran Turismo was huge but that was just franchise level really. Their other games like you said sold 2-3M lifetime for the most part. And its not like that's a bad level of sales either. Uncharted was the PS3 franchise which broke out but it still wasn't huge. We know the series sold 13M after U3's launch (3.8M shipped for the holiday) and 28M after NDC and the Uncharted 4 launch in May 2016. So the Uncharted games were selling ~4-6M on PS3 lifetime. That was the pinnacle for Sony outside of GT.

Now we have Uncharted 4 over 16M, TLOU over 20M, Spidey over 13M, Horizon ZD over 10M. God of War 10M+. TLOU2 4M+ first 3 days. All of those are old figures as well and looks like Ghost will join them. ~5M sales is what their lower end titles do now, like Days Gone and GT Sports estimated sales are ~5M+.

Ghost>every previous sucker punch game combined


It is also set to become the best selling story game without sequels/a known ip. Think it's safe to assume ghost of tsushima 2 will be a thing.
