Thought this deserves its own thread

God of War has had a better debut than any other PlayStation exclusive ever, according to The NPD Group. Not only was it the best-selling game in the U.S. in April, but it’s performance in its first month also outpaces all other PlayStation exclusives. That’s not just PlayStation 4 — it’s for any PlayStation since the platform’s debut in 1995.

God of War of War came out on April 20, so it was only available for 10 days in the month. But it was still able to break the record, beating Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which came out for the PlayStation 2 in October 2004.

Holy

So happy for SSM! Happy they got out of the slump after game cancelletion and layoffs. MLB The show seems to do well every year and its actually past Sea of Thieves in NPD sales, even with latter having windows market sales :o . Sea of Thieves had pretty big drop.

I think next month will be very interesting with new exclusives and how old ones hold up.

The game they canceled looked so good on paper

All thatin 10 days...that’s very impressive. Sold hundreds of thousands of PS4s as well it seems.

It is apparently above 2.06m for October NPD. I think NPD is talking unit sales here.

The best thing about God of War is that it will have legs

But - but , single player are dead.

What does that mean in numbers?

That's impressive. Now if only we could get the numbers for April
