EDIT: USA Today corrected their article, and the 3.3M figure does in fact include the copies that came bundled

It's now the fastest-selling first-party PlayStation title beating the God of War previous record with 3.1M in the first three days of release.
The popular comic-book superhero's recent resurgence has expanded beyond cinemas and into the world of video games, with the wallcrawler's latest self-titled game selling a record 3.3 million copies in the first three days of its release earlier this month.
While Sony did not provide an official number, with a retail price of $59.99 for the game the 3.3 million copies translates to roughly $198 million, crushing the $117 million opening weekend box office of the latest solo Spider-Man film, "Spider-Man: Homecoming."
One million copies were preordered, another record for Sony.
While Sony includes the sales of its $399.99 Spider-Man PlayStation 4 Pro bundle as part of its count of 3.3 million total copies of the game, it did not break out how many of the limited edition consoles were sold. The bundle's more expensive price could push the $198 million figure even higher.
"It's met and exceeded all expectations. I think the company, and the campus, and our fans are super proud of it."
