Congrats to Insomniac, they are one of the best teams in the industry.

I’ll check it out on PC whenever it hits. I still have to play Miles Morales.

Yeah Insomniac for just $229 million was a ridiculously good deal. By the end of this year their games will have made well over $1 billion in revenue since being purchased by Sony.
Christ the first week's sales will probably cover Sony's purchase of Insomniac alone.

Doesn't quite work like that. You still have to account for operating cost, marketing, and licensing costs.

Without a doubt very successful and they could have made enough to cover the purchase for sure, but all the money isn't theirs.

Well deserved.

Whilst not perfect and not polished to say the least, it’s by far one of the most fun games i’ve ever played and one of the best games this generation thus far.

Insomniac are easily in the top five devs these past 20 years.

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?
So just to be clear, threads can be made about a certain other game and its active daily steam thingy, but one can't be made about a game breaking every first-party sales record so far?

Tbh I think the 3 day numbers will be the interesting ones because that's what we got for Rangnarok, TLOU2 etc
Ragnarok was 5 days as it was released on a Wednesday. We'll probably get another PR post from them once it breaks another major sales milestone.

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.
You must have missed the 24hrs part. And also the part where its predecessor took 3 days to even break that milestone.

Then again who are we kidding, even if it sold 10Min 24hrs I am sure you would have figured out some negative way to spin it.

Almost like there is an ignore thread button but instead you clicked on it and came in here acting like this

Calm down GTA V sold 185m. 😭😅

Or, don't be a dumbass. You can celebrate a games sales without it beating every other game in existence.
How rich when every thread about starfield compared it to every game in existence. Sales wise, performance wise, gameplay wise and graphical wise. Also GTA V sold 185m In 3 days? Lol

I would say I'm surprised to see some "well asckutally" posts ....but I'm not.

Game is literally breaking sale records.

Gaf user 268974: meh, that's it?

130m Vs 40 million? Not my problem. Reggie Gif.

Zelda wipes the floor with anything Sony has offered in all the years they have been making games.
...okay...?

As for the Wolverine stuff — a few folks thought Naughty Dog would struggle with The Last Of Us because it was mature. Sometimes, studios, especially of this caliber, deserve benefit of the doubt. Let them get the game out first. Hell, lets at least see some gameplay before we ask of Sucker Punch to take it on.

At this point give it to anyone but a Sony owned studio period.

Not any studio can do action super hero games very well. Outside of Insomniac and Rocksteady, not sure which ones I would have confidence to do a good job. I think Insomniac *can* do a good job with Wolverine, but I think Sucker Punch has the chops to bring in a darker,edgier, not polically correct super hero like Wolverine and all the viscerality needed with a guy who has got dang claws embedded in his got dang fists.

But maybe Insomniac will surprise me. I'd be fine with that.

Rocksteady copying Insomniac who copied Rocksteady 😂

Not talking shit, it would just be funny.
