I thought we had more data than Japan and UK already... well it is a good start after all.

Cool. coolcoolcool. GOW is/was a sales monster, so I don't fault anybody for thinking that Spider-Man would sell less. Be interesting to see how the sales look for both after a year or so.

This game's set to smash my 2.5 FW prediction... not to mention BraLod's cute lifetime estimates.

I don't know if i ever predicted first week sales, but i think i predicted over 10 million lifetime...

 

I think it'll sell 15 million right now.

I predicted 10 million as well shortly before release. Cant say if it will come close to 15 million until we get the first month data of at least the US.

This is Amazing spiderman beating God of WAR? A 94 meta game? I never would of thought thisI think it sell closer to God of War if it sells better than GoD of War then I think Spiderman should be Playstations mascot?

Spiderman is the most popular superhero. No matter what you think, he's more popular than Batman, Iron Man and Captain America. The game is pretty good and has pretty graphics which makes it appealing to the masses. Its open world while God of War is linear. Spiderman is a standalone game and not a sequel to a long lineup of games like God of War so there is no story catching to do for new players.

On top of that, Avengers Infinity War came this year and Spidey had a major role in the film. It made 2.2 billion dollars. He died in the most tragic moment in the film. Many people are just happy to have him again, alive in a game.

There is too much reason for Spiderman to sell more. On top of all this, God of war is a niche series in UK and japan, the only countries where we have any data. Its mostly popular in North America, Latin America and the BRICS countries.

Nothing wrong with a game being linear. Can we stop with that nonsense already?

We now have data from Germany and Switzerland as well. Unfortunately, the German chart isn't multiplat but as one of the countries that prefers PlayStation the most, the multiplat chart is probably not that different. If any German-speaking users read this comment, it'd be great if they'd look for a multiplat chart covering Germany.

Germany:
1. Spider-Man (PS4, Standard Edition)
2. Dragon Quest XI (PS4)
3. Spider-Man (PS4, Special Edition)
4. F1 2018 (PS4)
5. NBA 2K19 (PS4)

Switzerland:
1. Spider-Man (PS4)
2. Dragon Quest XI (PS4)
3. NBA 2K19 (PS4)
4. Pro Evolution Soccer 19 (PS4)
5. F1 2018 (PS4)
6. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Switch)
7. Super Mario Odyssey (Switch)
8. Detroit: Become Human (PS4)
9. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch)
10. Minecraft (Switch)


Spider-Man still performs exceptionally on Amazon.
US: 3 (behind 2 PSN Cards)
Canada: 1
Japan: 1
India: 1
UK: 1
France: 1
Spain: 1
Italy: 3 (behind 2 PS4 versions of FIFA)
Germany: 10 (blame FIFA)

Nope. Superman is the most popular hero. Its just hard making a good movie for him and even harder or near impossible making a good game lol.

Yeah I’ve never understood that gripe. Like we need everything to be open world? Also, God Of War isn’t exactly linear.
