Forums - Gaming - The Last of Us PS4 sold ~69,000 units in the UK first week [higher than MK8]

This thread reminds of me of this - http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=173497.

600 is statistically insignificant, and the UK is not a reflection of the rest of the world.

69,000

Even in the UK Mario outsold Knack, that was just an inflated openning week due to the PS4s launch. TLOU doing this well in Uk definitely bodes well for its sales worldwide...

69,000 vs 68,407 = 593 = statistically insignificant. 

We will see about worldwide sales, but I don't think you should use the UK numbers to get your hopes up.

#1 on Amazon's best Seller for the past week.

It is even moving consoles in the US.

People that bought it are idiots.. They could have easily saved money by buying a PS3, the PS3 version of the game, and the DLC for no less than a few hundred bucks.

Are you joking?
1. Im sure most people already had a PS4, its sold a ton lot of units and not just to previous ps3 owners. 
2. why would you spend 200 pounds on a PS3 and TLOU, when youre only gonna end up buying a PS4 ontop of that in the next 12months anyway?? Might aswell fork out little more the PS4 and The superior version of TLOU and save money in the long run.


Sorry if you misunderstood me but I was being sarcastic. I guess I should  have made that more clear in my original post since this is the first time I've been moderated on this site and I've had multiple people respond to it as you have.

Anyways... I don't see a problem at all with this game being made. You can kind of look at it as a timed exclusive for PS3, but instead they have made it impoved when they ported it to the PS4 and they also added in all the DLC. Several people that bought TLOUR have not played the original version yet, and that was the reason the game was brought to PS4.

The only logical issue anyone could come up with that would be negative about this game is that Naughty Dog should have spent their time making something else instead of this. But TLOUR only took 6 months of work to bring it to PS4. I don't think they could make a new AAA game in that time frame.  It also allowed several people to play the "Game of the Generation" on their PS4 in case they missed out. This could be because they didn't buy the game on their PS3 or they just never owned a PS3.

Hopefully we see more remasters then!

Suck it remasters haters. :-p

Edit: Seriously though I feel like a game as good as TLoU deserves to be on next gen too since it came out so late in the gen. I felt the same way about games like God of War 2 and Persona 4. 



if only I could know how people would react if the game was multiplatform.

That's the spirit!



The real question is did it outsell Knack?
