That return on investment for Sony.... Well done insomniac!
That's quite good, especially since it didn't release on the PS4
Not particularly surprising. It is a huge IP, it reviewed well, it is the follow-up to a well-liked game, and the first, big, AAA launch for PlayStation in a while. Put those factors together and you have the recipe for huge sales, especially right at launch.
Not bad. Hard to tell if Mario Wonder potentially split the launch day sales. Felt like SM2 was destined for something a little bigger. Not bad numbers in any case! Still extremely impressive for Sony.
Interesting. Guess we might get this instead of numbers for the weekend though which is a bit of a shame. This is harder to compare.
It's the fastest selling PlayStation game ever. TLOU2 sold 4 million in 3 days so I'm guessing Spiderman 2 probably sold around 5 million in 3 days
Given the context I suppose they mean the one to sell the most in 24 hours, but it's likely it also had the highest 3 day sales yea
Spiderman 2 is gonna have another mammoth sale just like the first one,
Well deserved to an absolute workhorse that is insomniac games!
I got it on Saturday. I wonder if the weekend sold more than launch day which was on the Friday
Massive 1 day sales for SM2, however I have a feeling it didn't top TLOU 2's 4m in 3 days, otherwise why not share the 3 day numbers? Perhaps it had massive pre-orders and so day 1 sales were huge then it dropped quite sharply?
We'll see if Sony shares more updates numbers, curious. It's hard to declare the biggest Sony launch with the varying metrics used, but clearly TLOU2, GOW:R & SM2 all had exceptional launch sales.
You think they have the numbers already for the weekend? They announced this on Monday . They couldn't announce this on Saturday because they most likely didn't have the numbers after just 1 day. TLOU2 was released on the 19th June and sold 4 million in 3 days but Sony announced it on the 26th , a full week. Spiderman sold 3.3 million in 3 days but it took Sony almost 2 weeks to announce that. You could be right though Spiderman 2 could probably drop drastically after day 1 that's why Sony didn't announce the weekend numbers on Monday
Why would they have the numbers for just Friday but not for Fri, Sat & Sun? And even if it takes time, why not wait 2 weeks and share the 3 or 5 day numbers? It seems like a marketing tactic just to say it's the fastest selling PS Studios game to me, most people aren't going to care to compare the metrics used, it's just something Sony rightfully want to brag about.
Definitely not trying to downplay SM2's amazing day 1 sales, I'm just curious to know how it compares to TLOU2 or GOW:R if they used the same metrics.
No matter how you look at it-it’s phenomenal and the game will have huge sales figures through the holidays and beyond.
Well we know that using the day one metric it out sold TLOU2 and GOW:R but for longer we will have to wait.
Spider-Man is super lucrative for PlayStation. Barring some legal disputes with Disney (we saw that happen with Spider-Man films, and there was limbo for a few months), there will be at least one more Spider-Man game in this universe.
