Will Last Of Us Part 2 have the biggest opening for a Playstation game beating Spidey?
- Thread starter Toriko
- Start date
Botw, The Witcher 3 and God of War didn't have multiplayer, but they all reached a 90+ on MC.
It will be very tight between FFVII(R) and TLoU Pt 2.
In the grander scheme of things, given these are not niche titles (afaik), they should sell plenty for SE to pursue the next part of the remake and to fund next ND projects, respectively.

God of War and Spider-Man did 3.1m and 3.3m respectively in just 3 days on an install base less than 100m. The PS4 install base could be around 105m by the time The Last of Us Part II releases, so that'll definitely help. I feel like it's got a great chance of doing more than 4 million in the same 3 day span.
And that's going to be with people outright buying it for $60 per copy, not through a $1 trial on a subscription service.

I think it will because it'll have the biggest marketing budget of any game they've done. Look at Uncharted 4, it was their biggest market push for any game yet. It had trailers in theaters for two high profile movies and every Amazon package had U4 logos on it. TLOU2 will top even that.
Oh, thanks for that.
I think ~4M in 3 days sounds about right (maybe upper 3M). 5M would be absolutely crazy.
The PS4 copy of TLOU alone, sold 11 million.
Everything named Naughty Dog this gen has sold +15 million this generation.

Spidey's got 8 legs for days. TLOU2 opens higher but has not chance of dethroning Spider-Man. It doesn't have the reach or IP power.
yeah i think it will most likely beat spider man's record. but i don't understand why ff7 is included in the poll, is it about the biggest 1st party launch or are we counting 3rd parties too?
Spidey has to beat TLOU1 which was near or little over 20 million .
As for FFVIIR i going to love that game but that not touching TLOU2.
It's a high profile exclusive launching at the same timeframe but I don't think it'll beat either SM or TLOU2.
Except by your own admission TLOU on PS4 ;-)
(and probably not UC:LL)
Officially released numbers from Sony themselves on May's IR Day 2019
Hopefully this will help to snap the Era bubble out of some folks.

Maybe. It won't be by much either way IMO.
What 'Era bubble'? 70% so far agree with you, just not as obnoxiously.

God damm ! It seems like yesterday when they released Uncharted 1 on the PS3 and back then they were regarded as a decent but not a great developer, Uncharted 2 changes everything for them. I believed people started calling them Naughty Gods after Uncharted 2.
Its been cheap to buy for ages and released early on in the PS4's life cycle when there wasn't much competition from third or first party games.
Yeah, Sony alluded to something similar for the Uncharted Collection saying that they were basically new games for the vast, vast majority of PS4 users. The 8 million people who bought TLOU on PS3 are only a fraction of the PS userbase after all.
Opening better than Spider-Man, but Spider-Man will sell more ltd.
TLOU Remastered came out when PS4 didn't have a killer application, so yes people bought it.

Oof, I didn't drop names. I just dropped the knowledge for whoever it may concern
Wether it was, Obnoxious or not, you're entitled to your assessment. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well I mean along with GT6 it came out the last year of the Playstation 3's life, many people were probably gearing up for next-gen.
They also probably include free PS Plus downloads as sales, and it's been free twice before and is free now (though obviously the fact that it's free now might not apply to the graph, and depending on how old it is might not even apply to the 2nd free period).
I'm thinking this will be the PS exclusive that reaches some crazy Mario/Zelda numbers.
They probably don't because that never happens.
I'm putting TLOU2 at 25 milli, honestly.
By the time TLOU2 comes out, PS4 is coming fresh out of Holidays and hitting the console during Tax Return season
Install base should be at more or less 113 million, a far bigger PlayStation audience from where TLOU 1 opened at, and during a period where PS4 exclusives are attracting more buyers than ever and PlayStation branding is stronger than ever.
25 million and more should be on the table.
Why not?
The chart isn't about revenue or profit, it's just about the amount of copies of the game are dispersed on one platform. About brand recognition and strength. It wouldn't be disingenuous at all to include free digital downloads through PS Plus in that scenario.
It's like you forget it got half those sales on a separate SKU, on a different platform. Spidey is flirting with 11-15 million with just a year on sale on one platform.
Uncharted 4 is almost in 20 million in only one version. I think TLOU 2 will be bigger than it
