Its amazing how the game has been holding up on the charts.

Amazon has the game at Number 7, which is pretty incredible considering that it released a while ago.

For comparisons sake, Star Fox Zero is at 15, Dark Souls 3 (PS4) is at 67 and Quantum Break at 142. All of them released the same month.

Congratulations to Insomniac for making this amazing game, the sales are matching the quality of the title.

I was totally fooled by this and now I'm angry. Curse Insomniac and their clever wording.

I think it would've reviewed significantly more poorly if it was $60.  The game's length is perfect for its price, but if they'd done a full price release (on top of the film, which is sort of plot-important in the minutiae) then it would've hampered at least some sales.

With a series that hit its relative rock bottom four years ago, where everybody was asking what happened to Ratchet, the fact that a remake movie tie-in game is the fastest selling in the series says loads more than the usual PR.  It means we're at the beginning of a series Renaissance.  You're heavily undercutting what this game is doing by calling it a simple PR move (especially when, as others have said, it's got an insane extended opening window compared to other games this month that debuted big and fell fast!).

I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. I'm not talking about the games sales. I'm just talking about the tweet and taking a look at it from a marketing point of view because that's what is... marketing. Two different things.

I completely understood what you were saying.  I'm saying it's disingenuous to compare this PR statement to hypothetical Sony or Microsoft "thanks for the money" PR statements, considering the context.  This isn't a "thanks for the money" sort of statement, it's a welcome back to a series that realistically may have died if the game underperformed - especially coming directly from Insomniac, who usually doesn't discuss sales and who before this had a rough few years.  They watched their baby return to the limelight in the greatest way, in a dual-team effort that has gotten love from all over the internet.  I'd definitely say that's not equivalent to a generic publisher humblebrag.

I will be getting this game, U4, and a PS4 in Early June. Probably after E3. But man it has been really hard not to just buy a PS4 recently. The money has been burning a whole in my wallet for months now.

If I weren't going on Vacation in 3 weeks I would probably a PS4 and Ratchet today. It is taking nearly every ounce of my willpower to not just go buy it in 45 minutes when I get off work today.

I really need to stay off forums, they always make me spend money on the things I want.  And yet I need forums to keep informed...GGGAAAAHHH!!!

To those people angry about the wording "fastest selling" complaing its just PR empty speak.

Look at this from Neogaf:

SlimySnake: "I bet it sold like 50k copies but it sold most of them in the first day which makes it fastest selling. Nice try Insomniac!"

Stanng243: "Or it could be 1st Day, 1st Week, and 2nd week that it was the fastest selling of all time."

jstevenson: "All 3. "


See? people downplaying it for no reason at all.
No reason to hate. Its not just the fastest selling game for a few hours, or a day or a week.
There has NEVER been a time another R&C has sold at the rate this new R&C is selling at.

Its selling very well, thats all that Tweet is.
Insomniac just happy :)

Yeah, but I believe that R&C as a Sony exclusive is... not precisely shocking, isn't it? XD. I'm a Nintendo gamer and I wouldn't expect R&C to come out on my consoles, and I still think it looks amazing. Jesus, we're all gamers!

I prefer Coke to Pepsi, and if you like Pepsi I hate you!

Well deserved, absolutely loved my time with it
