I really don't know I just went to walmart to pick up the game and the associate told me that without me even asking.  At least there is plenty of stock on amazon but it will be cool to know how it did in other retailers such as game stop.  

I work at Target and we got 4 aswell. I don't think Sony's expectations were particularly high honestly.

Yeah I think that is the case.

Which is really fuckin weird, if you think about it.  I mean, they thought enough of this to have a movie made, but adequate stock to all retailers is too much?  That's just...weird.



The game has so far outsold the Nathan Drake collection and SFV on amazon on the yearly charts. It's also still the no.1 best selling video game( daily and hourly). I really hope this becomes a huge success for Insomniac.

A legitimately AAA game releasing for $40? Sony should have had a bit more faith. Still, it seems like over all supply is OK, so it might be more low expectations on the part of some retailers.

If there are other people around like me then a fair few people assumed it was digital only anyway.

More copies might see their way into stores when the movie comes out though.



Good to hear critics like it. I just bought the game blindly. PS4 needs some exclusives like this!

The game was made because of the movie, not the other way around. Insomniac said it

when I got my copy yesterday at walmart, the associate told me they only received 4 copy and I was like really?  apparently sony didn't ship that much.

I got the last copy from my local gamestop when I went and picked it up yesterday.  They had gotten a couple dozen copies though, which I take as a good sign.  Walmart only getting 4 is really weird though.

Really weird.  His comments caught me by surprise.  I even misundestood the first time thinking there were only 4 copies left.
