Well deserved. Playing GM mode in 2K19 on my Switch with friends, after having put about 170 hours into 2K18. 2K manages to increase the production value every year, which is more than I can say for EA's annual Madden retreads.

i'm guessing that with digital sales included this is the best launching 2k so far. digital sales are extremely important when measuring a game's success nowadays.
