I'm guessing 4-5 million in 3 days and 20-25 LTD. The LTD is entirely dependent on its reception.

Will Last Of Us Part 2 have the biggest opening for a Playstation game beating Spidey?

I feel the same way most do - TLOU2 will have no problems besting Spidey's opening, it's a massive IP at this point. LTD will be tricky to call...I'm still going with TLOU2 based on gut feel
2020 is such a ridiculously good year :)))

It's amazing how beautiful Final Fantasy VII Remake is. Square Enix has done an amazing work with this game, it will easily become their best selling game ever.
FF7 blows my mind.

TLOU2...just doesn't look like anything I haven't seen before.
Regarding the topic, I think bigger opening is definitely possible, but I highly doubt it'll ever pass Spider-man in overall sales.
Yes that's why on the long term, Spidey will sell more imo
13.2m copies in 10 months and 21 days
But God of War, a more violent game, was able to sell about 10.9m copies (probably as of March 31 2019, given they release their IR Day slide on May 2019) in 11 months and 12 days
Unlike movie entertainment, IMO the video game business allows a game even violent to reach massive numbers if quality is here
I mean, GTA is not a kid-friendly game on the paper but reaches massive numbers
I think it'll be very close, but really not confident in saying yes or no. GoW being so close makes me think yes, but Spidey is a completely different beast in terms of overall popularity.
I'll go with yes, because fence sitting is boring.

I can it see doing more than that debut .
Of course this depends on the USA but if get numbers near GOW there it will be over easy because of the rest of the world .
This is it.
Folks saying 4+ million opening in a 24 or 48 hour period is realistically what we will get.
The pull that Naught Dog's name + PlayStation branding / marketing + positive Critical Reception will have, will be on a scale hitherto undreamt of for a PlayStation exclusive.

Sequels of the popular games [especially if marketing/coverage is positive and there is hype] have a very strong potential for strong initial sales.
I think that TLOU2 will break initial sale records of any previous PS4 exclusive. As for total sales, PS4 BC on PS5 will reduce full sales potential even if ND releases upgraded PS5 release.

It won't. It will affect the legs though. Less remake purchases coupled with BC it's not going to do as much as people think LTD.
TLOU2 will break all the records, it will be record breaking at breaking records.

I want TLOU to win just for the good natured gif of Spidey getting beat up by the sinister six at 2018 E3 demo, but with Joel, Ellie, and Neil's faces superimposed.

people on here will always say TLOU because Naughty Dog is huge and everyone is pumped for w/e they put out. In reality, i believe casuals came out in droves for spidey in a way TLOU2 will not see.
Can someone explain to me what the fuck is "hitherto undereamt of"?
This is the 2nd time i'm seeing this phrase on ERA
98 Metascore.. 4.2 millions opening.. Spidey will win in the end because it's a fantastic game with huge legs
Yeah pretty much. TLOU2 has more hype amongst gamers but less casual appeal. Grandparents aren't going to be getting TLOU for little Timmy's birthday (at least hopefully not).
With how amazing The Last of Us sold and was loved by fans and critics, this sequel is highly anticipated, so I think it will become PS4's best selling exclusive.
It's not just about hype and anticipation. It's also about age. Spider-Man has a bigger target demo. I think it stays up front.
I think it'll have a better opening but I think its short term legs might be stymied by FFVIIR. Not sure I believe in the 25 million LTD narrative, but I do expect it to beat Uncharted 4 by a bit at least, with Spidey possibly holding the LTD record.
GoW completely blows that thought up. GoW was in spitting distance of Spidey's launch numbers and GoW has never been that level before it, despite all mainline entries being 90+ rated. I think TLoU 2 can top GoW's launch, so I think it's possible it can top Spidey's too.
I don't see it happening, honestly.
Spiderman's marketing the most for a single game I've seen, since like Halo 3. They really went ham on that one, and a lot of casuals really got into that one (anecdotally, my COD/Fortnite friends even got into as well)
It will neither beat that 3 day record, or sell better than than Spiderman lifetime (only comparing the PS4 versions of both, cause it goes without saying that inevitible TLOU2 version on PS5 will skew the results in its favour).

And you dont think Sony will go all out with marketing for TLOU2?
We'll see about that.
Not as much as they did with Spiderman, tho. That was on a whole another level.
