Knew this would sell well, everybody loves zombies. Congrats to Bend
Not sure what the legs will be like on this game in part due to the review scores but I'll probably pick up later in the year when they're running sales (hopefully the bugs and performance issues are patched out by then)

The original was a fresh new IP. The sequel is a very highly anticipated sequel to arguably the game of the previous generation so the game should sell gangbusters.
I wouldn't be shocked to see it happening tbh. TLOU skyrocketed in popularity and its arguably Sony's biggest IP now.
Uncharted 4 did 192k. TLOU2 is as big as Uncharted right now. Maybe even bigger. 200k+ is "possible" if the marketing and quality is right :)
Your post is misleading. Days Gone beat MK11's overall sales.
In 3 days.
It beat Spider-Man, though. I don't know why we're using it as a bar when Uncharted 4 is the biggest UK physical debut for a Sony first-party game.
Anyways, TLOU2 will probably land in that ballpark. I don't know if it'll beat Spidey/UC4 outright but it should get close.
I don't think it will have higher initial sales then Spider man.
bu but according to era the "uninspired, dull, zombie game with boring white male protagonist" can't possibly sell well...I am shocked and amazed.
Seriously though good shit for Bend this will definitely be their AC situation where a flawed but good first entry that sells well gets a astronomically better sequel that alleviates the previous games problems. They'll do amazing things with PS5 hardware i'm sure.

No doubt about that.
What i mean is that people should try to be careful with their expectations.
I remember something like that happend with GoW and people said it's gonna do +200K and then when it did 96K They began to say that it was underperformed which is not true.
5 days of NA sales and still not knowing how it performed in other territories in Europe and Asia still isnt the whole picture either
What do you mean "whole story"? Even with NPD we still won't have the whole story, there is a world outside the US and Sony does well in a lot of markets.
Yea, thats what I mean. NA sales are in the NPD, and I feel because the game launched at the end of April, we wont get full on sales in may. It won't be until June that we see how it really did in total.
I know everyone thinks because it got a 70-something score it wasn't going to do good but does the general public really care about scores? Is there any data that would show how many people actually read reviews and scores to decide on what games they buy?
I told y'all it would outsell RE2. I was called crazy

Hope it does well, seems it's flawed but has some heart underneath the hood. I'll pick it up after some patches and updates.
Based on reviews they need to hire some better writers and get creative with the gameplay loops.

I don't think so.It's very violent,gritty and bloody game,it doesn't have that universal,Marvel/Spider man type appeal to mass market.
One of the reasons i love a lot Uncharted but i am not big fan of TLOU.
You thought there was no way it'd outsell RE2 though. So it doing as well as it has must still be surprising to you...

He already got banned shitting up the review thread. Obviously can't control his hate boner.
God of War did 3.1 million in 3 days and TLOU IP is much stronger in Europe than GOW, so it is not unfeasible at all that with its power in Europe it could go beyond 3.3 million
TLoU part 2 will be insane for an exclusive. 75% of the reason everyone I know got a PS4 is because of TLoU 1. I ain't missin' that shit again.
Lol. Dude flip flops a lot so it is not even worth it to look into his post history.
Another State of Play will be in May imo. Let's see if we will get more 1st party info there ;)
You're gonna like it :) See 'ya in the OT.
I'm buying it tonight as well. Rented it but gonna turn it in tonight and buy
First one did between Uncharted 2 and Uncharted 3, so between 84k and 116k
With Uncharted 4 doing 192k (TUE) and Spider-Man doing 190k (FRI), it might have a shot
Era did say that, but to be fair, Era also said that Era was going to be really surprised once Era realizes it would not flop. ;)
