No it isn’t.

You could even argue that The Last of Us is a bigger IP than GoW now
On PS3 it was true with TLOU1 and the old GOW games but since then the PS4 not at all.

God Of War 2018: 10.9 million in 1 year & 19.5 million on PS4 alone.
God Of War Ragnarok: 11 million in 2 and a half months.

The Last Of Us 2 : 10 million in 2 years and we know the game sold less well than expected.

IP strength isn’t regulated to just game sales anymore. TLOU exists outside of gaming

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.

I think Ragnarok physical sales are somewhat inflated from the bundles number : before the launch of GoW the PS5 was pretty hard to find so the bundles must have sold really well. I' m sure SM2 will have a higher digital split than GoWR.

Nah, HBO show alone exploded TLOU popularity.

Digital will be monstrous for Spidey as I mentioned.

I kind of half expect the next numbers update to be at the Sony quarterly financials Nov 9th, although the other half says first week numbers will be out next week

The quarterly will be very interesting, I am curious as to how everything is going and if their plans have changed.

I hope the numbers are out before then though cause that's a bit of a wait.

Will definitely be interesting as I'm pretty sure previous FY estimates were with Factions being released this year
