Forums - Sales Discussion - Ghost of Tsushima Sales Top 6.5 Million Units. Samurai-Yakuza-Games in the west?

KazumaKiryu on 26 March 2021

"Also revealed in the report is that Ghost of Tsushima has sold over 6.5 million units worldwide since it launched for the PS4 in July 2020".

Great to hear! Wonderful game.

edit: By the way.. other developer.. according to Sega, the Yakuza-Samurai-Games MAY appear in the West someday, because the success of Ghost of Tsushima is so big. The west also loves good samurai games, they now know that :)

Very strong sales for a team that wasn't as strong before (although I really liked Infamous 1,2 and second son) and this game was just fantastic, I think the movie can also be very good.

Less than a year too, no one would have expected 10m+ seller when this was first announced but now its gauranteed

I think it has more to do with Sony and less with which topic the game is about. Sony didn't reach Nintendo status yet but they are close and most of their good received games simply sell millions now because it's from Sony.

Doesn't mean Sega shouldn't release them in the West but they shouldn't expect the same success.

I kinda expected for the quality of the game and the topic and what we had seem, the only question mark was that the dev haven't produced a game that had reached such high success.

Great sales. While I was disappointed in my time with it hopefully it's success will convince capcom to make a new Onimusha title damn it!

That some of their games sell much better as they would from most other developers but still not as good as the average Nintendo game. Blizzard as example could be also mentioned but not sure if they have still that status.

Aside of Splatoon, can you point out which New IP from Nintendo have similar sales to this one in the last 10-15 years?

Because the best selling titles even on the Switch are the same franchises (Zelda, Mario, Pokemon, AC) and now Splatoon.

Just asking for a friend.
