Re: The Last Of Us Part II
"The Last of Us Part II sold around 4 million copies in its first 3 days. With that number, the game became the fastest-selling game for the PS4. Its sales, however, have dropped 80% week-on-week, which is a huge fall, but not unusual. The figures are for the United Kingdom, as compiled by GfK. Keep in mind these are based on boxed sales only and not digital sales figures. Although The Last of Us Part II was the #1 game last week, the game’s sales dropped by a huge margin. The game has topped the UK charts for two consecutive charts for now but is likely to lose its place next week.
As GamesIndustry.biz mentions, although 80% is a huge fall, it’s not unusual for a game that sold so well during its first week. To compare the figures, Uncharted 4, a story-driven linear game, saw a 78% drop in sales during its second week.
Interestingly though, people who haven’t played the first The Last of Us game are buying the game rapidly. In boxed sales, The Last of Us: Remastered for the PS4 saw an 82% rise in sales week-on-week."
