Forums - Gaming - The Last of Us - To Hit 10 Million Sold?

JustThatGamer on 30 November 2014

I'm hesitant in calling it a 10m seller, two different games. That's like saying the first God of War sold over 8 million copies at retail alone by combining sales of the PS2 release with the HD remaster across SKUs. If not then why is TLoU:R just a next-gen port and not GoW?

And as amazing as the game is, it wouldn't have come close without all the bundling, don't know why people deny it when games they like are massively bundled.

To answer the question, yes, the game will sell over 10m by the end of the year, 7.5m+ on PS3 and 2.5m+ on PS4.

this game is bundled everywhere. so yes, they will reach 10m end of next year

ofc u want ur game to reach this milstone. every company is desperate for such a nice 10m pr


LOL. The game on PS3 sold 1M between march and July this year on PS3 alone. Confirmed by Sony themselves. It will likely hit 9M lifetime on PS3 alone and on PS4 will be over 2M this year alone. Maybe even over 3M when you include the bundles. Lifetime on the PS4 depending on bundles it could sell up to 5M. Don't worry the bundurus are not because Sony are desperate for that PR because it was getting there anyway. #DATDOWNPLAY

i hope they wont make a sequel.
just let it be a nice standalone

or maybe a spin of (story wise) if the need to milk the name

I'm sure you don't want a sequel haha. Sure MS just leave Halo as it is. DOn't make multiple more over the next decade that will sell 10M each. And Nintendo see that Mario game that sold gangbusters. Yeah don't make anymore over the next 30 years, just leave it be! And Sony you do the same with Gran Turismo! 

Great logic right there!



HollyGamer on 30 November 2014

it almost there, i bet total life time of both version could achieve 12-13 Millions

It'll reach 10 million easily.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how far over 10 million it goes. The sequels sales could be absolutely massive.

Umm yea no

 

.. hmm .. you seem to have a misleading avatar..

 

OT: It will be a well deserved achievement for a GREAT game(despite the "Its-soooOooOo-mediocre-and-overrated" brigades input) when the combined PS4 and PS3 sales reach 10 mill.

 

I hope The Last Of Us 2 reaches 10 mill without a remake budding in.

Probably it has already... VGChartz are undertracking the game.




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

It's already over 10M.

And what about the PS3 GOTY, when is it released?


Do you have a source for that?

The Last of Us (PS3)
7 Million Sold - as of July 16th 

The Last of Us: Remastered (PS4)
1 Million Sold - as of September 2nd

So we know, that by September 2nd The Last of Us crossed the 8 million mark, but what about now, 3 months later?

PS4 has the "GTA V + The Last of Us bundle" for $399, and judging by the retailers "best sellers list", it was a success on Black Friday. Now, if the bundle continues to sell well through Christmas, The Last of Us could potentially be looking at 10 million sold by the end of the year.


I think theres alot of confusion when it comes to totaling game sales. TLOU RM is a separate game to TLOU on PS3, adding them both together is odd. Thats like adding God Of War trilogy to the God Of War games sales, or Comparing Halo on Xbox and adding Halo Anniversary to its total sales count or Wind Waker to Wind Waker HD.. it doesnt work like that. TLOU on PS3 sold 7m, TLOU RM on PS4 sold 1+m plain and simple. The Bundles will help raise the PS4 TLOU RM while the PS3 has stopped at 7m, and to claim TLOU sold 10m is quite stupid in my opinion. That goes for all games and there remakes. I call it cheap sales, you can continue to make a game multiple times and release it every year and have a classic game sell way above 10m+ if companies wanted to. Point is 2 different games on 2 different systems.

So, cross gen games and GOTY editions shouldn't be factored into what the IP sells? Ok.

If you count bundles, it likely already has.

Should we separate every PC release by the GPU used by the gamer? A game isn't the same when it is run on a 760 vs  a 980. I find that stupid too.

Including digital sales The Last of Us will fly past 10 million by the end of the year. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if it reached 15 million retail LTD with the way it's going.
