Forums - Sony Discussion - The Last of Us - 1.3 million Opening Week Sales Estimates (VGC)

Don't forget that the game is also available digitally. Pretty much everyone I know bought it digitally to reduce the cost.


I was thinking about doing that too, but the brazilian Sony store offered pre-orders with multiple language dubs (they added brazilian portuguese, which is my native language), which I think will be fun to play the games multiple times, so I have pre-ordered mine. I intend to do every playthrough in a diferent language.

And it was worthy it, because they delivered to me at 06/14, 8 in the morning. 

Something no one is talking: it is gory as hell, I saw some dudes intestins coming out of his belly, a monster rip my jaw off my face in a game over animation, there are missing limbs everywhere. It is very graphic and it WORKS, because it makes sense in the world of the game.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

I wonder how many was shipped? Cause I have a few friends looking for a copy right now and it's sold out everywhere!

Woooooow!! I was super hyped for this game and now that I've almost finished my 1st playthrough it's definitely worth. Still, I never thought it would reach one million FW. I guess there are still many gamers with good taste who aren't looking for games with MP, coop, headshots and explosions.

Now, I'm still a bit pessimistic about its leg, I bet it'll drop like a rock 2nd week. I just don't see it being that mainstream driven to have Uncharted like legs.


idk about that it got 'zambies' man.



Outside of some very disappointing AI (Hard Mode Playthrough), I'm loving the game so far. Can't wait to unlock Survivor playthrough.

Given the reviews, I expected better, like 1.5 million.

For a new ip 1.5m first week is extremely unlikely no matter the reviews. It all comes down to its legs now.

Well shit, if this is accurate then I'm impressed. The pre-orders made me think it'd come short of 1m week one, turns out it'll come close to UC3 at 1.35m & GoW3 at 1.4m (please fix ioi) which is almost unbelievable. See Sony, when you make an effort with advertisement & media coverage your games sell very well, well the immense word of mouth due to the game being critically acclaimed probably helped too! :P



I don't believe it! AWESOME!!! ^^



This game deserves all it's success, I'm halfway through and it's one of the best games I've played



Best debut of new exclusive IP on PS3 or 360?



I wonder, if it take the digital purchased in count ?

i don't remember the last time i bougth a physical Ps3 game.
