Horizon had memes and bundles to increase it sales. It reviewed better and made it to more lists. So when people try to self-discover games search engines and gaming sites are going to likely recommend Horizon over it. Also 10 million is a pretty arbritary number how do you even know if it'll even pass that mark.

Ghost of Tsushima is one of the GOAT's. The spinoff or part II is going to look amazing and play amazing
Maybe for new weapons they can do nunchucks and a staff

Gonna need to see the numbers on that. Sony has been completely mum on TLOUII after its record breaking opening.

Nope! there's still no official update since 4-millions on the first month. Sony has been awfully quiet about TLOU2 while they're bragging other numbers

You mean this?
That's not a statement. As of right now, no one knows how much TLOUII has sold. It's one of the only Sony exclusive that they've gone absolutely silent on after giving an initial sales figures, hence all the curiosity on its performance.

Um Ghost of Tsushima launched over 3 years later on a VASTLY bigger install base. It sold more at launch then Horizon did. It also got a PS5 version which also gave it a greater chance of outselling Horizon and that version has about the same review score. It won more GOTY awards than Horizon as well. Fact of the matter is sales for Ghost seemed to drop off faster than they did for Horizon which is a bit sad given, like I said there were 10's of millions of more PS4/PS5 owners out there.

There hasn't been an official update. What we do know is that TLOU2 had around 7 million players back around the end of 2020 and that number has only gone up much more since then. So yeah it's probably over 10 million by now since it was showing up on top sales charts multiple times in 2021.

i find it laughable that people still think ghost of tsushima might be higher than TLOU2. theres no chance in hell of that. just wait. the confirmation isnt too far off because we will hear from naughty dog this year. no updates means jack shit because sony are pretty random like that.

Someone thought Japanese flavor has no broad appeal and would hinder the game's sales...
Guess what? Japan is cool people, who'd have thought?
You just have to make a good game and dont care for politics or race stuff - everyone will buy it.

This wasn't a guess by fans. That number came from gamestat which was a site that had actual data on that sort of thing. You can downplay it all you want but that was facts. I don't understand you people who just want to try and paint TLOU2 as some kind of failure. Get over it.
Also here is some ice cold facts for you. We know Ghost had sold 5 million copies by November 2020 as Sony confirmed that. We also know TLOU2 had sold more than Ghost in both NA and EU in 2020 as those links show. Ghost wasn't even close to TLOU2 in Europe which is PlayStation's biggest market. And as I said TLOU2 hasn't stopped selling as it was still appearing in sales charts throughout 2021.

They are fucking idiots. There is nothing out there anywhere that paints Ghost as selling more. On the other hand we saw yearly sales charts that had TLOU2 above Ghost in multiple regions. It sold way more at launch too. Ghost had no way of catching up to a game like TLOU2 that was still placing in the top 10 of top 20 PS Store charts in 2021. Plus we had sites like gamestat that had actual player numbers and TLOU2's were at like 7 million back in 2020. These people need to get over that TLOU2 was always going to sell more. They are both Sony games ffs idk why people want to put them against each other.

Lol who the fuck thought that?! People was praying for a samurai\ninja based assassins creed game for years...
Add to that a triple A made by sony and the success was basically a given.

Makes it even more impressive that Rift Apart is likely over 2 million right now on a install base of 15 million

Incredible numbers. One of the few open world games I adored from beginning to end.
I offered the DC to the father of my godson who recently got a PS5 and yesterday he texted me saying that it’s his favourite game ever and turned him to a full time gamer again. He’s close to the platinum. Warms my heart.

We don't know shit. They never give us official sales.
Just guesses from users over nepgaf and Amazon sales lol. Probably the game don't meet up the sales expectations for pay up the develop cost.
Lets move on the conversation. The thread title is GoT, not TLOUS2. I don't even know why people bring this shit up.

Actually we do know shit and I posted the official sources up above. If you and others arguing against it ignore those official sales sources that's your own ignorance.

Come on, Fake. You can be better than this:
NPD reveals the best-selling games of 2020 in the U.S.
The best-selling games of 2020 features a lot of Call of Duty, Nintendo, and other familiar names as sales soared through the year.

“The Last of Us: Part II finished 2020 as the year’s best-selling PlayStation exclusive, while also ranking as the sixth best-selling title overall,” said Piscatella. “The Last of Us: Part II now ranks as the third best-selling Sony-published game in U.S. history in dollar sales, trailing only Marvel’s Spider-Man, and 2018’s God of War.”

Say that to The Getaway 2. Doubt even Infamous series sold that well.

I honestly think the people here who are arguing Ghost of Tsushima sold more are just purposely ignoring every official source that shows that TLOU2 was well ahead of it. They don't understand basic math.Come on, Fake. You can be better than this:

Ghost of Tsushima had sold 5 million by November 2020. In North America we have the chart showing that TLOU2 sold more at retail + digitally than GoT. In Europe, we have the official sales chart that shows that TLOU2 sold more at retail + digitally than GoT in 2020 by a LOT. Therefore by the end of the 2020, TLOU2 was WAY more than 5 million. Then we can go and look at every monthly chart of say the PlayStation Store in 2021 and quite a few of them TLOU2 is ahead of GoT. In November 2021, Ghost of Tsushima was #16 on PS5 in the US and missing in EU. On PS4 TLOU2 was #16 in the US and #6 in EU. Ghost of Tsushima was missing from the PS4 charts entirely. In October 2021, GoT wasn't in the top 20 on PS4 or PS5 in NA or EU. TLOU2 wasn't in the top 20 in NA but was #11 in Europe.
That's just a few examples. Again, while we don't have the "official number" for TLOU2 we do have plenty of enough sales sources that show it was well ahead of Ghost and TLOU2 hasn't exactly stopped selling. If Ghost of Tsushima managed to sell another 3 million in 2021 then from sales charts it looks like TLOU2 most likely did as well and didn't have its 2020 lead diminish much at all.

Call me malicious but I found weird ND hasn't announced yet to have reached over 10 million with TLOU2 if really they did time ago.

You do realize that Sony is in charge of that and they don't exactly have a pattern to when they announce sales numbers for a game right? Most of the time they drop that kind of info when they have something new to say about said game. They aren't Nintendo who have a set schedule for updating sales numbers. For all you know the number could be over say 12 million and they're waiting for it to hit 15 million to announce it. Or they are waiting to give an update when they announce something else regarding the franchise like Factions or the Remake.

The thing is TLOU2 has received a lot of negative feedback by many people after the release. Stuff like this influence negatively the lifetime sales; they did for RE6.

Average GAF user trying to explain absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence for another game that is unrelated to the topic.
