But still doubtful it surpassed TLOUS 1 numbers.
? Huh? Why would it? Its been 1 year, The Last Of Us 1 came out 8 years ago..... why the fuck would it surpass The Last Of Us 1 in sales in such a time frame when clearly The Last Of us 1 didn't must move 20 million units in 1 year?
should have been an absolutely massive hit, like TLOUS 1.
The Last Of Us 1 in this exact time frame didn't move the units The Last Of Us 2 has moved....so...I don't know what to tell you. You seem to be under this impression that it should have moved 20 million units in under a year when even the game you are talking about didn't do that....
Now you know why they’re making a sequel

So within 13 months, The Last Of Us 1 sold 7 million units.
The Last Of Us 2 sold 4 million physical units in 3 days, 2.8 million units digital before the ending of its debut month. So before the ending of its first month, it was something like 7 million.
So....3 to 4 weeks 7 million vs 13 months 7 million.
I've yet to see any fucking data to tell any of us that it was suppose to sell 20 million or 18 million or 15 million or 10 million in that time or anything weird like that, its already the fastest selling PlayStation game in history, yet you are clinging to this odd narrative that "should have been" based on a fucking game that didn't even do the thing that is happening right now.....
I think it's telling that there's no released data of the global sales to date of this particular title
Not really. We didn't get sales data every single year for God Of War and it moved 20 million units (by now anyway lol) , Sony litearlly didn't continue to just keep telling us EVERY YEAR how much it sold. So they are likely waiting til the PS5 directors cut, The Last Of Us 1 remake, Fractions MP or PC Directors Cut etc like you saw from God Of War.
No Sony game has ever given us sales data every year bud. When the do, you'll just find a new thing to spin or cry about regarding this.
This is as much as we know regarding this.
1. It moved 4 million in 3 days
2. It moved 2.8 million digital its debut month.
3.It confirmed the best selling Sony published game of 2020 and overall number 5 in the United States
4. It still charts on PSN as of literally last month (likely do to being a horror of sorts)
5. Sony has NEVER given data yearly on any 1 title. Not only can it be random, they many times might stop posting that information all together and just wait til an announcement linked to it to tell us like we saw from God Of War.
Ghost of Tsushima, on the contrary, does have cumulative data that includes 2021 sales.
It also has a directors cut that came out too....do you not see why they might have given that data like we saw with God Of War?
Ghost is not even on the charts for PSN last month, The Last Of Us 2 was =)
Far Cry 6, FIFA 22, and Back 4 Blood top last month’s PS5 charts.

So it simply sounds like they want to wait til some event, or news or announcement to share that info. The new tactic seems to be to argue ignorance, then when told those are launch numbers, cry about not hearing NEW data to pretend that it MUST be BAD if the didn't tell you every day about it, what will it be when you finally hear it moved massive units man? Its literally still charting and its long after all the spoilers and info is out for people to make that choice on if they want it or not, so clearly many don't really care THAT much about this whole " divisive and dismissive" thing regarding the game. Shit we talk about it, but the vast majority doesn't seem to give a shit. It merely sounds like you want any info to make it seem as if its a negative thing, as to why you favor the silence of Sony vs addressing objective numbers, why talk about that as suppose to solid data in the first place? Why did someone need to even inform you those are figures from mere days of release and not months or years? But ye Sony not saying something hold more wait suddenly despite them not telling you about God Of Wars number from 10 million to 20 million, literally from May 2019 to October of this year aka 2021 they didn't tell you shit, where was you worry about that? Thats an even longer time from The Last Of Us 2's launch to now bud, its not some dark conspiracy.
Make it make sense. If you want to know what is normal, look at what they normally do, if you want to know what is good or bad based on those figures, what is the best and what is the worst on the data. The Last Of Us 2 hurts too much of your logic man, its already the fastest selling Playstation game in history, using the first games data won't help much until we get to 8 years and can even compare something like that in total vs 1 year old vs 8 years old. Its a extemely unfair comparison and suspect bud. Why would anyone expect 1 year for it to move 20 million? smh. Does the next God Of War need to move 20 million in under 1 year for you to not attack it too or?
