That's pretty bad when you consider this game is bundled. Insomniac should have stayed with PlayStation, that's where most of their fans are obviously.
so that 230k is about 3 days worth of sale since it was released ?
Not bad for a bundled game in a special edition white version of the console. But not very good either.
True, but VGC doesn't track bundles in all countries. It probably sold more, but not by much.
Deserves way more tbh.
