As I said before, SM2 isn't selling more than SM1. It's a very different economic environment; it’s the third game in a series, and the PS5 install base is lower than PS4’s in 2018.

Let's not jump the gun
Just take the L dude.

3 days comparison based on sales data across the world.

UK physical sales - 2 weeks
TOTK - 264k
S2 - 139k

France physical sales - 3 days
TOTK - 500k
S2 - 120k

Spain physical sales - 3 days
TOTK - 170k
S2 - 62k

Japan physical sales - 3 days
TOTK - 1.1m physical, with digital 2.2m
S2 - 77k

Zelda TOTK is going to be the best selling game of the year which is around 23-25m while Spidey 2 is going to sell lower than Super Mario Bros Wonder.

That's not lifetime sales.

But how can you gauge lifetime sales of a game that has been out for a week or two? SM1 sold like hot cakes, but it has been out for 5 years and has had 1 remaster in the middle. SM2 will probably sell close to 10M this year alone.

Spidey 1 had a crazy BF deal in 2018 that sold spectacularly.

It will not, as in it’s not GOING to. hey, I’ll be pleasantly surprised if it does, it is a better game.

Just have to jump in here and say how cool it is to see a console sell for the old impulse price of $199, even if it was temporary.

I suppose if had to end at some point, but I loved $200 and $99 late gen consoles.

In the other side, why are you so sure it will? I discussed a couple of reasons why it might not.

Because overall PS5 has a better attach rate than the PS4, and launch aligned it has or will very soon be overtaking it in sales. It doesn't take a math wizard to put 2+2 together.

I can be wrong, I can be right, but you seem so sure with no data to back it up that it's kind of flabbergasting.

I’m not sure. It was an assumption based on the three factors I mentioned. Of course I don’t know sure.
