I do think that this game can reach 5 million no problem lifetime, and the digital attach rate is amazing, I wonder how much digital sales will have an impact going forward in the future.

Well my prediction is 7 million lifetime. With a holiday bundle it could sell close to 5 million this year alone. As far as new killer exclusives IP's go this gen. This game and Splatoon are probably the prime examples. Perhaps Horizon 2 can cross the 10 million mark on PS5.

Indeed, I hope these successes encourage a lot of company's to start coming up with more new IPs instead of relying on just what they already have because it really shows that people are looking for new experiences.

This game was my first Digital purchase. I've never really been a fan of Digital simply because of the space it takes up, it just isn't practical with the HDD space we have at the moment. To be fair I'm still not a fan, I had to delete a lot of game saves and installs to fit it on.

I was one of those digital sales! So nice to have the game ready to play the morning of the release (also not having to go out to buy it is awesome!)

Signature goes here!

Great sales! Also read on gematsu ps4 sold though almost 60 mill april 30

Oh god...

That was the shipments figure ( as of March 31th ) disclosed in the FY16Q4 financial results release in the end of April...

I guess gematsu didn't mentioned if it's sold-in or sold-through but of course you, instantly considered it a sell-through number...

Thats excellent news!And those digital sales are really big.Wonder why this game got this high digital attach ratio.

I think we can expect that to be pretty normal going forward.

Gamestop is sweating right now! "Sony's own digital store is now the single largest retailer for PlayStation games in the world, and close to 40 percent of new game sales are now digital rather than boxed copies" http://www.glixel.com/news/playstation-is-winning-but-what-next-w485683

OT: Dang. Over 400k of that comes from the US btw.

Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
