Forums - Sony Discussion - Horizon Zero Dawn sells 7.6 million copies in its first year.

Those are amazing numbers and fantastic pictures.... also digital may have been high so VGC being inaccurate wouldn't be surprising.

Impressive but I wonder if this includes digital sales...
Also they will still sell at least one copy in the not too distant future as I have not yet gotten my copy and plan to do so when the price is right for me.

Great sales, cant wait to play it!

Absolutely great sales, even more when you consider this is a new IP and previous games made by the developer didn't sell nearly as well as this one.

What are the biggest new IPs this gen?

Biggest exclusive new IP for each console.

Horizon Zero Dawn (PS4) - 7.6m
Tomodachi Life (3DS) - 6.14m
Splatoon (WiiU) - 4.91m
Titanfall (XBO) - 3.1m* (Also on 360/PC....)
1-2-Switch (Switch) - 1.88m
Tearaway (Vita) - 0.69m*

Biggest new IP's combined platforms:

Destiny (PS3/360/PS4/XBO) - 16.2m* (includes Taken King)
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor (PS3/PS4/360/XBO/PC) - 9.96m* (Also used steamspy for this figure, 4.4m on steam)
Watch Dogs (PS3/360/PS4/XBO/PC) - 9.58m*
Titanfall (XBO/360/PC) - 5.07m*

*VGC Figures, physical only

Overwatch is probably very high if not at the top of the list, but can't get PC figures which no doubt make up the majority of sales for that game, over 6.2m on console.

Nice, it's unusual though as for some reason publishers don't very often provide public figures on digital sales.



JustThatGamer on 28 February 2018

Amazing numbers, really need to give Horizon a try. Also seeing how well this game has done I reckon God of War & The Last of Us 2 will easily sell 10m plus.

Publishers always include digital sales with statements like these.
