I know what Benji said (above 8 mil), but I'm making this post to put it on the record that I'm predicting Spider-Man to be past 10 million 6 months in.
1 year I'm less confident on, so I'll go with 13 mil for that.
This is in the ball part of what I expected too. 8 mil in 6 months. 11 in one year
You are a brave person...I like it! I hope you are right
Hopefully whatever is next will be multiplatform. Since this was made by a independent developer and has been wildly successful it will hopefully show some other publishers that there's not much risk associated with these franchises.
You mean like the Avengers game coming from SE/Crystal Dynamics that has been in the works for awhile?
No I mean like whatever else is next that we don't know about, say an iron man or hulk or Thor game.
I feel like these kind of comments kind of sweep under the rug that imsoniac are top tier devs and made an amazing game. Just attaching spiderman And marvel to a title doesn't mean it's going to do well. Some of y'all need to stop downplaying the quality of this game.
But imagine Insomniac designing all of Stark's gadget in R&C style. Hnnngg
Next game from Insomniac? Because they are going to make Spider-Man 2. Some of the devs even said next Spider-Man in many podcasts/articles.
Ever since Sony gave us those TLOU numbers and I feel some people went insane with their expectations/pretictions -__-
Doubling Spidey number in it's first 3 day. Not happening.
We have yet to even see Sony´s marketing plans for The Last of Us Part II. For all we know, they may be planning their biggest marketing campaign yet for that title in particular.
If it does extremely well in reviews like the first game and it has an ad campaign bigger than both God of War and Spidey, it will no doubt be the next record setter.

Marvel would need to actually want to work with you in the first place though. There's a reason why they went to Sony even if it meant locking it down to a single platform: they want quality titles out of the partnerships they do
3.3 million was just 3 days....holy crap at them 2nd week holds!
Spider-Man games as multiplat is not happening for a while. Sony undoubtedly would've asked to have the publishing rights for multiple entries as it was a big investment on their part. But not to worry, other Marvel multiplat games are on the way, and I'm sure more are now about to be greenlit with good investments from third parties after seeing Spider-Man's success. Just won't be the insomniac spider-man games though.
A success on this scale has been long overdue for Insomniac. Great studio. I'm super happy with how the game turned out too, my favorite superhero game ever.
Meh. it doesn't bother me.
The next Spider-Man won't be.
I hope Ghost of Tsushima is a huge hit as well. ND, SP and IG have always been some of my favorite dev in ps2 era for giving me Jak, Ratchet and Sly.
Spider-Man isn't going multiplat unless he's featured in someone else's game, which he no doubt will at some point.
The closest non-PS4 owners will get to a Spider-Man styled game with a playable Spider-Man is a potential Daredevil or Moon Knight game that takes place in NYC that for some reason has a playable Pete. Or if the Avengers game is open world NYC.

I wonder after this massive success Marvel is all:
"Hey Sony, do you want to take a look at any other of our IPs?"
"Hey Sony, do you want to take a look at any other of our IPs?"
Don't know where you got that from at all, didn't say or imply anything like that. Some of "y'all" need to not be so aggressive in your defence of any perceived slight against the game.
Of course, but any big publisher can outsource a game to a respected developer, or have one of their many fantastic internal devs do it. There is no lack of quality dev teams going around.
People are saying it's going multiplat? Sony owns the Spider-Man PS4 IP. If they make a sequel to this specific Spider-Man then it's also a 1st Party WWS game.
They dont own the IP but all future games are with them for the foreseeable future.
No matter how you see it, this is a massive success for the game.
I remember there was a thread predicting lifetime sales of Spider-Man, I think my prediction from back then will be off. The majority of voters picked betwee 5-10 million (including me), but at this rate the game will easily surpass 10 million.

No no, Sony owns the Marvel's Spider-Man IP. This specific Spider-Man is owned by them. Not talking about the overal Spider-Man IP. This is a 1st Party game just like they own Bloodborne.
Very impressive ! Congrats Sony and Imsomniac ! No question the game will sell more than 10 million copies this fiscal year alone.
Better comparison would be Crash Team Racing. Sony owns that specific IP while Activision owns the IP in general but would still need Sony's go ahead if they wanted to do anything with it
Good example. Yeah exactly. Marvel's Spider-Man is owned by SIE. Anything that happens with this specific Spider-Man game is on Sony. Just like Bloodborne is owned by SIE and not From Software. And yeah, Crash Team Racing is owned by SIE and not Activision.
Thoroughly well deserved indeed! IMO these guys always deliver, time and time again...they've been round the block a few times so to see SM hitting stratopheric numbers is very heartening!
I'm relatively confident this isn't the case. Marvel still owns the White Spider-Man, but Sony owns the publishing right for the game.
It'd be crazy if Marvel let Sony have this specific Spider-Man as part of their ownership.
I'd be surprised if that isn't the case. I expect Sony own the rights to this game and any sequels and probably have first option on any future Spider-Man gaming projects that may impact the brand now that they've invested so much into it.
There's no way they let a Crash/Spyro situation happen again.
If Marvel/Disney want to take Spider-Man (the character) multiplatform it will be with a separate franchise not "Marvel's Spider-Man" or any of its sequels.
I think i predicted over 10 million months ago. Right now i think it'll sell in the 12-15 million range.
Publishing right means for this release or this includes any remake, remaster in the future based on this game? Usually I think publisher only own the publishing right for the game developed at that time but I guess in this case Sony may own any potential remake or remaster in the future
Not million seller, but TEN million seller! (in the long run of course)
Last generation they literally had only one (Gran Turismo). Well, maybe 2 if we include The last of us, but that was basically a cross gen game…
This gen they have:
- Uncharted 4
- Horizon
- God of War
- Spiderman
