As i said. It was obvious.

!@#{$^~7{

Over 9m as of November 25th, 2.5 months after it's launch and pre-christmas.

It's probably at 12m-14m by now.

Who's eating crow today? :P

Not many people believed it, but it came to be.
You were right on the money.

Yeah Im thinking its ~14m by now too.

That resent drop to 19$, lead to massive sales too, spiderman is gonna stay relavent until PS5, and keep selling decently I suspect.

I remember that :)

"Monster hunter's "core" was japanese handheld users, that wouldnt want to play it on a PS4. So it was doomed to fail"

What happend? they put in effort, and the western markets rewarded them for it.
MHW is such a massive upgrade to the series, I doubt most "core" monster hunter fans, would want to go back now.

Its shipped more than 13m units by now, and it has a expansion comeing soon, that ll re-ignite the sales in the series again.

Well. there is a huge factor that took action for this Spider Man game, and it is marketing.

A lot of people underestimate the power of Spider-Man, possible the most profitable character in the marvel universe.

I think this game has a real chance to pass the 20 million mark. It sold 8.6 millions by November 25th 2018.

Its probably at ~14m right now.... and it hasnt been a full year yet.
Plus consider how well it was doing on amazon prime day when it dropped to 19$.

Theres still demand for the game, so it might actually be possible for it reach those kinda numbers (or atleast get close).
