So GOW 2.2 million week 1 and Spider-Man 2.4 week 1 at retail. I predict RDR2 to top 3 million and be like close to 4 million with digital.
Great numbers, all around, on PS4. I'm personally just a fan of GOW but it's nice to see good games selling so well.

Great numbers all around.

Masterpiece deserves the praise and sales along with god of war and RDR2

How come vgchartz estimate 2.4 million when Sony says it sold 3.3 million in 3 days? Are there areas Sony don't cover and the game sells .9 million there?

Great numbers with only 2 days. Probably at 5 millions as today.

I feel like I really should play this game, but I'm just not in the mood for another open world game. There are so many of these this gen. I will just wait for price cuts. I'm not in the mood for RDR2 for the same reason.

I hear ya. This year i've done AC Rouge & Origins, Spiderman and God of war (not totally open technically). Odyssey and RDR2 will have to be next year for me
