Spider-man 2 first week sales prediction!
- Thread starter SLB1904
- Start date
Its gonna be close to 10 million. If you have a PS5 you are buying it, dont see why you would not.
I had no idea.
As long as it sells enough to support the studio making the stuff, I agree. It’s gotten so weird.How much a game sells really shouldn't have to be a concern.
Back in the day, gaming was so niche, we just enjoyed whatever we liked without much care for economics.

You can’t really put that toothpaste back in the tube. ThRees a lot of stuff we didn’t pay attention to or care about when we were younger, like reviews in general. All gaming outlets post about sales, all forums talk about sales, and we know bad sales or underperforming games get studios shuttered or games cancelled.
To be surprised that theres a hyper focus on gaming sales in enthusiast spaces in 2023 is bizarre
I'm mad Bloodborne didn't sell more because of it did I'd be playing Bloodborne 2 right now
I dunno I cared about reviews when I was a kid. GamePro with those zany cartoon heads, or the scores given by E. Storm and Nick Rox of GameFan.
Had zero info on sales though and it didn't matter. Just wanted things to be fun. Still do.
I realistically did not care about reviews. I didn’t buy magazines just for reviews, and i didn’t rent games based on a score in one magazine or something. There was no consolidation of reviews, and it wasnt until IGN got popular that people started using them as a primary metric.
The majority of games i played growing up were blind rentals or purchased them because they had cool box art or belong to a popular franchise like final fantasy, mega man , sonic , zelda, mario, etc.
Voted 4 million. And just as a reminder, we have an active bet where you think Spiderman 2 will beat Tears of the Kingdom's 3 days sales total. And, as a second reminder, TotK moved 10 million units in its first 3 days.
You said "Spiderman will sell more. Bookmark this" so I did. Tick tock.

Yes they do. Bundles however won't be factored into the NPD charts (or whatever they called now)
8m first week 
It will do more than Ragnarok easily.
Caters to casuals + significantly larger PS5 install base + coming off of the hype of an amazing Spider-Man film + glowing reviews = massive success!
Even my cousins that only play Madden and CoD will be picking up Spider-Man 2.

Yeah I do agree with you on the box art stuff. When I was under 10 that was a huge part of it. Just browsing the stores and having no idea what’s out there, it all felt like pure discovery.
Good times and something that doesn’t really exist now.
I think the review score thing started more for me after the snes launch and paying more attention to the magazines I mentioned.
Box art helped, and having a big liscense (Jurassic Park, Lion King, etc.) but the real seller for me as a kid was game kiosks. Stuff like DKC 2 or Banjo Kazooie was sold to me in the store on a tv.
