That 2 million is more than a year after release so I would expect this sequel is selling faster.

Thanks for the data but that is not exactly what I mean...

To understand if a sequel is doing good or bad we need to know how the previous game did.
These 1 million at launch seems to be way better than original at launch.

So unless my guess is wrong Stalker 2 is doing really great sales wise.

People will still buy broken games at launch. Now the next phase will be fixing all the mess.

The original SoC had a very long tail, it remains yo be seen if the gamer of today can deal with the jank to love the game anyway.
