The Last of Us Part II sold through more than 4m copies during its first weekend. Lifetime sales expectations for the PS4 version alone?

Hasn't PS been fairly transparent with sales figures? I suppose they didn't have much to say about the Vita, so there is some precident for not getting official numbers. I don't see this being another of those times however. I'm skeptical of the legs TLOU 2 will have, but highly doubt it will amount to a sales embarrassment, which is what it would need to be for sales updates to cease.

Never know though. I might owe you a Coke on this one.

For the first TLOU we know that it sold 20m+ on two platforms, but we don't know the split between PS3 and PS4.  In contrast we know Mario Kart 8 has shipped 8.45m on the Wii U and 24.77m on the Switch.  My expectation with TLOU2 is that it will get ported to the PS5 at some point and then we will get combined totals instead of the specific split between platforms.

Huh. I see Sony decided to amalgamate the numbers at some point after a sales announcement in Sept 2014 where they did distinguish between the 2. Didn't realize that. There were figures of approximately 7 million sold on PS3 and 1 million on PS4 at that time. Thanks for the explanation.
