Not really, more like 13 days

" Marvel’s Spider-Man for PlayStation 4 sold 3.3 million units worldwide in its first three days of release (from September 7 to 9), and has topped the record previously set by God of War earlier this year as the fastest-selling PlayStation 4 exclusive title, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced."

September 7th, 8th and 9th.
3 days only for this number of 3.3m+

The game was available to pre order since august 28th, so 13 days.

Congrats Sony, insomniac and marvel.i really hope Sony let Santa Monica make a captain America or a thor game with the same production budget and quality as God of war.

I want RockSteady or RockStar North to make a Punisher game.

 

I know RockSteady isn't possible but it be a great fit.



How is that compared to Nintendo? Also wouldn't this make it the fastest selling Playstation exclusive game ever? Because I thought God of War got that award, and now PS4 has outsold it slightly.

Nintendo's fastest selling game was I believe Sun and Moon, which sold 3.7M first week but that doesn't include Europe which would bring it up to 5.1 Mil.

This is so interesting to me. Both Sony and Nintendo are simultaneously seeing a fucking massive increase in sales for all their exclusives. Absolutely deserved.

Sales are counted from day of release not day of pre-order

Marvel’s Spider-Man for PlayStation 4 sold 3.3 million units worldwide in its first three days of release (from September 7 to 9), and has topped the record previously set by God of War earlier this year as the fastest-selling PlayStation 4 exclusive title, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced.

The 3.3 million figure does not factor in sales of Sony’s limited edition PlayStation 4 Pro bundle that includes an “Amazing Red” console and DualShock 4 controller in addition to a copy of the game for $399.99.

This big success is great for all singleplayer-fans and high quality games! The development costs are high and the hard work is rewarded. Absolutely earned!

Oh I imagine it'll outpace God of War easily, simply for the fact that it has a much wider appeal... although I'm expecting both games to be within 10m by the end of the year anyway, it's crazy how these exclusives have been selling this gen!

Yeah, sales wise Sony 1st parties have certainly come a long way since PS1 and PS2 days where Gran Turismo was pretty lonely on top.

Uncharted 4, Horizon: Zero Dawn, God of War, and Spider-Man are all guaranteed 10 mill sellers at this point on PS4 alone.

all amazing games, the last years was really fantastic. The best Games-Time in my gaming life (with the PS2-era) :)

Ratchet and Clank..

The last Ratchet & Clank (Remake)Game on PS4 was a great success for the developers / Sony. Dont worry, a new game will be released in the future. Thats sure, someday. Maybe there will be an ratchet/clank-announcement next year ?! Lets see.. ; ) Funny is: I dont like the Spiderman-movies(for me they are boring), but the game is fantastic! (especially the gameplay, the bossfights, graphic and staging).

This is going to be a 10 million seller. Congrats Sony.. Insomniac should be given licence for further marvel games exclusive on PS4.

Hope it, because Sony has the highest development costs (biggest quality) for their games / for the players in the last years. Thats reasons therefore their games / exclusives are so impressive.  it's great to see, how much effort they make.

LOLLL!  Are you really counting the time that it was available on Amazon as the official start of sales?  The game has been available to preorder everywhere since the game was announced.

Also as someone mentioned before, the game went on sale September 7th worldwide.  Your Preorder/Predownload is not counted as a sale until 12:00am on that day. 

This is why the internet can be dangerous, I'm sure there is someone somewhere who would take the above and push it as fact. 



Kudos and Congrats!!!

Would love to have a playable Spider-Gwen in the next outing?

So will TLOU2 beat this next year? Ps4 will have a 100m user base and I honestly think it will launch we about 2m retail and 2m digital.

Abso-fucking-lutely. 

The fact that God of War could even come close to Spider-Man in sales means TLOU2 will beat this record.
