Spider-Man 2 fastest selling 1st party PlayStation game in history. Should be approaching 5m already then.

So Ragnarok sold less than 2.5m in 24 hours, but over 5.1m in 5 days. Interesting. That gives some insight into launch day vs the days that follow in terms of sales distribution in games. Would have thought launch day would have been over 50% of first week sales honestly but it seems not.

Note: Sony rebranded SIE Worldwide Studios to PlayStation Studios in 2020.
Ragnarok was released after this and also was the fastest selling game in PlayStation history and beaten by Spiderman 2. So the rebrand doesn't change anything. This is the fastest selling PlayStation game ever regardless of the wording.

Why the fuck does every irrelevent "promotional" twitter post require its own thread?

Like who gives a shit if a billion dollar company is doing well or if a billion dollar IP is selling well? Why should the average gamer give a fuck? Im not a goddamm shareholder?
By ansering to this topic you bumped it to the top again. You can just ignore it. There's an option for that isn't there?

Hopefully this isn't the only PR we get. I'd very much like to know if it's still ahead of Ragnarok's 5.1m in 5 days. But I expect we probably won't hear much else from Sony until they release their fiscals for the quarter.

You just proved that you do care. When you don't care about something, you ignore it. You don't go into a thread and post a comment about it.

It's already fastest selling in a 24 hour period and it's only on PS5. Its safe to assume it'll beat god of war's first 5 days and end up as sony's best selling game ever.

You did realize it woulda been alot faster for you to just ignore the thread...like use the Ignore feature.

And I should have done the same to your post, lol.

Goes to show how the vast majority of sales are from casuals. Word of mouth must be huge. Maybe they simply didn't know it came out and it will continue to sell really well as more and more people find out it's out. 2.5 seems low for such a huge userbase. I know it isn't before I get quoted, it just seems low when there are so many PS5s out there and no big exclusive in a while.
