Will ACNH outsell all PS4 exclusives released this year combined?

Yes 23 63.89%
 
No 13 36.11%
 
Total:36

Just wondering if others think that Animal Crossing: New Horizons will outsell all PS4 exclusives this year combined.

Animal Crossing has sold 22.4m units since it's release.

Sony PlayStation 4 Exclusives sales we know so far: 13.8m units (including FF7 Remake)

This is what I have been able to find of PS4 exclusives so far, please post any others.

NIOH 2 - Sold 1 million as of May

Persona 5 Royal - Sold 1.4 million as of July (released Oct 2019 in Japan)

The Last of Us Part II - 4 Million units in 3 days (largest release in history for PS4)

Ghost of Tsushima - 2.4m in 3 days (best new IP on PS4)

Marvel's Iron Man VR - ?

FF7 Remake (timed, up for debate if included) - 5 million units

https://www.vgchartz.com/article/444799/final-fantasy-vii-remake-tops-5-million-units-shipped/

Even if we take into account the data we do have, we know that PS first party games have sold 18.5m units in Q1 so maybe we can make that the "benchmark" going forward?  Last Fiscal year all PS4 First party games sold 43.3m units and FY18 was 50.6m units.

just so im sure, you mean all the ps4 exclusives that released this year, right? If so probably



Can you please name all the PS4 exclusives this year so we would have a better idea



There are 3 huge exclusives that I know of. Ff7 remake will end up around 7 million on PS4. Tlou2 15 million and GoT at 8 million so that's at least 30 million. Persona 5 royal 2 million and there must be a few other small exclusives that I don't know of

Yeah, I will look at what they released this year and update the opening post.

No way TLOU2 is hitting 15, I wouldn't even be shocked if it didn't hit 10.

Are you talking about lifetime sales, or by year's end? I can see these titles hitting that number lifetime (although I'm not so sure about FFVII unless there is another sku), but by year's end... I don't think so.



Or you could easily say will animal crossing outsell all other switch's exclusives this year which I think it easily will



Just curious, but which other exclusives does Nintendo have this year?

And it seems very intentional, and if I was running Nintendo, that's what I would be doing.  No reason to release potential hardware sellers when you already have one on the market doing that for you at an alarming rate.  It's the smartest thing they could be doing right now, have ACNH sell hardware for you and then people pickup the evergreen titles (Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Pokemon, etc) which keeps their sales high.
