Forums - Sony Discussion - God of War is the "fastest selling" Exclusive in PS History According to NPD

bigger than "The Last of Us" is really impressive.

Hopefully "The Last of Us 2", "Spiderman", "Death Stranding" and "Ghost of Tsushima" will be such a big success too :)

That’s extremely cool. Wonder how far it will go. Anybody know what the highest selling PS exclusive ever is in the US? WW, I’m starting to think this game will top GT4 as the best selling PS title ever.

What did GT4 sell again? 15-something right?

GT3 sold more than 4, about 15M.

good question, but i dont know. The big "God of War"-success is a good sign for the games-industry in my opinion. It is worth again to develop AAA-games with a great story, interesting characters and amazing gameplay. Quality deserves it - all things are important for me and other players (Soundtracks, Atmosphere, Gameplay, Story, Characters, Bossfights, Details, Graphic ect) :)

PS: How big is Spiderman in the USA ? overall ? Is it possible for the new game to set a new record in the US?

Spider Man is huge in the US. In fact, I think for comic book sales, he’s the most popular single super hero character. With the huge backing by both Marvel and Sony, and the fact the upcoming game is a unique new way to experience the character, I think there’s a huge chance this game will be major seller, potentially even topping GoW’s sales benchmark.

I'm almost 100% sure that tittle belongs to The Last of Us with over 17 million Units Sold.  Oh, and yeah, that's another Single player game btw!!    ;)
