It's at 7m now, it might hit 10m by the end of the year, or a bit less.we gonna get an end of the year sales update of it being around 15m/2m and this will subside
honestly the game would have been liked way more if the story didn't leak

where's this figure from ?It's at 7m now, it might hit 10m by the end of the year, or a bit less.
Someone dropped that number earlier in the thread. Apparently it was tweeted by a Naughty Dog dev?where's this figure from ?
imo it should be higher, didn' t it come out with like 4m sales first weekend/week or so
i'd reckon it's between 9-12 mill sold
Install base does affect a game's sales potential, but PS3 hardware sales reached a point where this is basically a non-issue. It's not like TLOU1 was limited because of PS3's install base, and it's not like PS4 games should be expected to sell ~25% more than their PS3 counterparts just because of the difference in install base.No, because PS4 outsold PS3 by what, 30 million units or something like that? I thought a comparison against another big PS4 title would be more apt given the big gap in console sales between PS3 and 4. Though I understand the argument for comparing it against TLOU1.
That's interesting. Thanks for the insight.Install base does affect a game's sales potential, but PS3 hardware sales reached a point where this is basically a non-issue.

A good example of this is the Mario Kart series, since there's one game per system, and the games have the same appeal so it seems fair to compare them. But there's pretty much no correlation between hardware sales and software sales. Taking Polygon's data and graphing it properly, you can see it's largely a shotgun blast. Only an idiot would try and extract a meaningful prediction from this.
Anyways the point is, comparing TLOU2 against TLOU1 makes more sense than comparing it against Spider-Man, since the TLOUs have the same appeal and fill the same want. Don't worry about the hardware sales.
I remember when these boards thought Spider-Man was going to be a modest success. Less than GOW (2018) and TLOU Part II
...lol.
Reading people calling Spidey "niche" was a trip to be sure
Basically that Sony gave ND too much freedom to make the game they wanted which, turned some off to the game.
He thinks it sold super well, but, not to Sony's expectations.
This is legit nightmare fuel...
Is Sony happy with the profit the game has made so far given whatever expectations they had?
I can confirm TLOUII is doing/has done extremely well. The next time a figure is announced expect to be astounded. This game has done tremendous numbers and I couldn't be prouder.
The thing is that Spidy sells millions to kids. Last of, on the other hand, has a public massively adult only. God of War would likely be the best comparison indeed.I just picked another top tier PS4 exclusive. Was thinking about checking God of War's NPD trajectory, but got lazy lol. I might go investigate that now.
That's how it seems for sure. It's a question that didn't need to be asked with minimal critical thinkingI just want to say that anyone who thinks that 7 million copies of a game sold in 7 months is disappointing or think that because it "only" sold 3 million copies in the 4 months after selling 4 million on opening day is either being extremely obtuse or disingenuous. The original TLoU sold 1.3 million opening weekend. It took over a year to hit 8 million sold. This took 10 minutes of research and pretty much makes this entire topic of discussion moot.
7 million copies in 4 months is extremely successful by ANY metric and its borderline stupid to argue otherwise.
I have a feeling the OP is looking for evidence to validate a feeling he had rather than coming to a conclusion based on evidence. It didn't do GTA 5 or Spiderman numbers, so obviously it's a huge failure /s.

Post #86Why is op ignoring this post. It seems to have done great even tough it's banned in mea region
Where did you pull this information from?It's probably over 7m sold and literally already made Sony more money than Uncharted 4 and TLOU 1 already because so much of its sales are at full price vs heavily discounted sales and bundles.
I really doubt it underperformed. But I also think it missing multiplayer didn't help it, not even talking about the pre-release "controversy" (which was and remains stupid/pathetic as hell).
I know several people who owned the original, but didn't buy the second. Now, I can't be sure if they didn't buy Part II because there was no multiplayer, because of the pre-release bs, or if they are waiting for the PS5. I kind of think it's a mix of all of the above, but I genuinely hope the spoilers had minimal affect on people's purchasing decision of this.
assuming influencer have a big impact on sales, actually I don't but let's say for the sake of it than it probably affected the sales by more than 30%.
Enlighten me.Yeah that's not how you do market analysis dude
Stop making "TLOU2 was a failure" trying to happen. It's not going to happen.
Uhhh are gay people not capable of being flawed individuals now? I get it, representation across the board sucks, but this is a weird take for me.That game was a disaster they turned the only homosexual character Sony had to a blood thirsty villian. Its a shame.
