Well deserved. Spider-man was my main reason for purchasing a PS4, and actually the only retail game I've bought since buying it about 2 years ago. And, I feel like my purchase has been completely justified.

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.

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.

Spiderman could do it. Avengers Infinity War made 2.2 billion dollars at the box office and Spiderman was among its standout heroes with perhaps the most iconic sentence which pretty much everyone who watched the film remembers. Spiderman films themselves are massively popular.

Spiderman is like Pokemon. A cross media behemoth. Its way bigger than God of War, many Spiderman players here don't even know Uncharted and God of War exist.

He's also riding the height of his popularity. Sony's timing couldn't be better.

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

Its possible, yes :)
