Forums - Sales - UK: Spider-Man is fastest-selling game of the year (200k+ retail only)

Amazing, you guys can't imagine how happy I am to hear this!

Insomniac Games is finally getting the big deserved success with Spider-Man! They have produced high quality games for decades and now with Spider-Man they created their biggest and most successful game which they worked so hard for. Hope to see more from Insomniac Games, Sony and Marvel working together in the future! #DreamTeam

 "..., and sold almost double that of the previous biggest exclusive of the year - God of War on PS4."
 

^ that is the surpriseing part... because God of War did really well at launch.
If spiderman is beating it by nearly double the sales..... congrats to insomniac.

Of the year, so far. Just wait until CoD, RDR2, Pokemon, and Smash release. Not trying to shit on Spidey or anything, it's to be expected that a Spidey game with Arkham levels of quality would sell major numbers, it's just this is only September, and Spidey isn't going to be the biggest release this year. It might top CoD, and maybe Pokemon Go if it flops, but not RDR2 or Smash.

Wow. I am amazed. I didnt at all expect Spidey to beat GOW. That must be some incredible sales if this is true worldwide.

There is palpable excitement for Spiderman even in India. He is the most popular hero here and really popular worldwide so I see this game easily beating God of War in sales. Also helps that its a good game.



Well, let's see how much it will do WW, but the odds seem good.

We need a first week WW thread asap. Does one exist?

God of War sold over 5 million units in a month since it launched. It tracker ahead of Uncharted 4 and is on track to beat ten million units within one year. There are very few games on a single platform that easily beat that. Let alone a non Nintendo platform.
