It will have longer legs as all the Spidermen games have so far, but I wouldn't be surprised to see lesser launch numbers than SM1, since I've been saying for a while the marketing for this game has been very lackluster. The Spiderman IP will always sell itself but this launch should've been the biggest thing ever.
They have a skeleton team working in the marketing branch since everyone was fired between 2021 and last year. Marketing has been shit for PS since 2020.

But it's the new CEO'a fault he's a penny pincher

It is very rare for an exclusive these days to have a bigger physical launch than its predecessor from 2 - 5 years ago. We will know the full picture come this Friday, I think?

Just also know there will be many Spiderman 2 sales not included in the Next NPD chart as well.

This game will sell faster than Ragnarok in the long run even if it doesn't beat the record.

12+ million sold by December, bookmark it.

Apparently, PS5 version of GOW Ragnarok alone is bigger that Spiderman 2.

Ragnarok had 2 days advantage over Spidey 2 but more than 800k PS5 had been sold since then. Really impressive for GOWR.

Selling slughtly less than 5 million in 3 days is "big oof"? Lol this forum become fully retarded, time to leave it

And yes, it's a big oof. Spider-man is a massive franchise, with the last two movies selling a cumulative $2.6B. If you don't see how less than 5M would be underwhelming, there's no saving you.

It’s always the anime nerds with the bad takes. Lol

See above. And I love how people with shitty names and no avatar are usually the ones with fly by comments and no semblance of actual participation in the forum.

@Thief1987 @Petekilla It's a forum... there will always be some opinions that we don't agree with... For the most part I think people on the forum want to wait for the digital numbers and to see tracking that matches GOWR, because SM2 had less days on market.

Hopefully you understand that one or two views do not define the forum.

The PlayStation 5 exclusive had a strong launch. It is the biggest PS5 boxed launch of the year, with sales almost 5% bigger than the previous high point: the PS5 launch of Hogwarts Legacy back in February.

Spider-Man 2's launch sales are just over 3% lower than the PS5 launch of God of War Ragnarok, which was the biggest PlayStation launch of all time when it arrived last year. Of course, this is purely physical sales, so we will have to wait until digital comes in to find out which game comes out top. Note: God of War Ragnarok launched on a Wednesday, whereas Spider-Man 2 arrived on Friday, so last year's title had a few extra days on sale.

Spider-Man 2 is the fourth biggest boxed game launch of the year, behind Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, EA Sports FC24 and Hogwarts Legacy.

Compared with Spider-Man: Miles Morales, which released on PS4 and PS5 in 2020, boxed launch sales of Spider-Man 2 are 41% higher. When looking at the original Spider-Man, the new game's sales are 38% lower. The original Spider-Man was released in 2018, and digital downloading has accelerated significantly since then. Again, we will have to wait for the download data to come in to see how it truly compares.

The success of Spider-Man 2 means that the darling of the physical games market, Nintendo, had to settle for No.2 with its big launch of Super Mario Bros Wonder.

Top 5 physical sales launch of 2023

1. Zelda TOTK - 208k
2. EA FC 24 - 154k
3. Hogwarts Legacy - 135k
4. Spiderman 2 - 116k
5. Mario Wonder - 79k

It completely destroys as SM2 is one platform with smallest install size by huge margin.
