Spiderman is the most popular superhero. No matter what you think, he's more popular than Batman, Iron Man and Captain America. The game is pretty good and has pretty graphics which makes it appealing to the masses. Its open world while God of War is linear. Spiderman is a standalone game and not a sequel to a long lineup of games like God of War so there is no story catching to do for new players.
On top of that, Avengers Infinity War came this year and Spidey had a major role in the film. It made 2.2 billion dollars. He died in the most tragic moment in the film. Many people are just happy to have him again, alive in a game.
There is too much reason for Spiderman to sell more. On top of all this, God of war is a niche series in UK and japan, the only countries where we have any data. Its mostly popular in North America, Latin America and the BRICS countries. |
Nothing wrong with a game being linear. Can we stop with that nonsense already?

Never said it was? I pointed to it being linear because open world have more mass appeal, and if you were reading carefully all the points I mentioned favour Spiderman in sales over God of War, it being open world is among those points.

Nope. Superman is the most popular hero. Its just hard making a good movie for him and even harder or near impossible making a good game lol.

Superman is the most well known, but not popular these days.

Ah, people are really undermining the games achievements by casually throwing out "Spiderman is really popular"... Ok, so we would have bet on this being the top selling exclusive of 2018 when it was first revealed last year? And yeah, we know Spiderman is popular (never managed to outgross Batman at the box-office though) but Comic Book games have never been generation top sellers, so if this game manages to enter that category that will be really impressive.
As much as I love original stories, I'd love to see more top tier developers tackle books, films & TV shows which could be turned into amazing gaming titles with the right budget and talent (Harry Potter comes to mind).

Spiderman played a huge part in Avengers Infinity War which was a 2.2 billion grosser released a few months back. Ofc he is more popular now and it helps that the game is good. Batman Arkham City was a gen top seller and Spiderman will sell similar numbers. Batman Arkham City sold 5 million in 3 months who knows where its at now.
