I didn’t buy it yet I have a huge back log!!!
Great numbers, now show us some Wolverine please

Kratos_Kart2007799d ago

Yes I'm waiting for Wolverine

Stuart5756799d ago

I've got high hopes for wolverine

Christopher799d ago

I really hope they go with a more mature theme and concept with Wolverine and better side items. Don't think Logan is going to be too interested in rando-person stories or fixing the environment.

Profchaos799d ago (Edited 799d ago )

Agree can't wait to see what they are cooking up I'm hoping for old man Logan personally.

We know it's going to exist in the same universe as sm currently what we don't know is how many other characters will we see cross over from Spiderman or even if we will see other X-Men appear.

I have a feeling we won't be seeing more of the game until July 24 at this point who knows

Nice, great actual sales numbers, and it'll have legs and only keep going.

Flawlessmic799d ago

Yep 5 million in 11 days with a install base of only 45 million players is bloody fantastic!!

And like you said, this game will have legs for years, just as the last 2 games did!

Spiderman 2 has sold more than Super Mario Wonder, the fastest selling Mario game, on an install base 1/3rd the size

CrashMania799d ago

@klein

Just the same sad troll and his daily alts probably lol.

darthv72799d ago

It should be higher than that actually. Sony only said 11 days while Nintendo was saying 2 weeks for Mario. Both games released on the same day so if Sony said 2 weeks as well... it would be even more than the 5m.

Profchaos799d ago

@plaugedr I brought both I know so many others who did the same and Nintendo also considers wonder to be a hit.

Both amazing games really I ended up finishing Spider man 2 first personally because you can't really spoil a Mario game but I was seeing comments and articles discussing the sm2 ending a week after it came out

Great numbers for sure but this means that first week numbers are not the highest for PS 1st Party games because GoW Ragnarok also sold 5.1 million in first week.

Redemption-64799d ago

GoW was a cross gen game with PS4/PS5

sagapo799d ago

True but do you think a big PS title like GOW would have sold less if it was PS5 only?

Ezio2048799d ago

GoW sold 80% on PS5. So despite being cross gen, it would have sold more than 4 million in 7 days.

Popsicle799d ago

@Sagapo

One has to think, why would Santa Monica Studios go to the trouble of porting across two consoles if they didn’t expect to be compensated by selling to a wider audience. 🤔

sagapo799d ago

True, wider audience. But my question was merely a wondering if GOW was PS5 exclusive, would it have sold as much? An honest question.

sagapo799d ago

And also, when GOW was released, the PS5 install base was smaller then today, right?

eagle21799d ago

This is an Insomniac masterpiece. Instant classic!

babadivad799d ago

This game is by no means a masterpiece.

tay8701798d ago (Edited 798d ago )

Says who? It has scored higher than every single xbox 1st party release this yr, including the supposed "game of the generation" starfield. Lol.

FF 16 still has my vote for game of the yr though. I'm currently playing though Alan Wake 2 and it is also great. Going to be hard to beat FF16 for me. EPIC boss fights, great story, insane graphics, fantastic voice acting, and possibly the greatest musical score ever in a game.

@Tay8701

Literally no one brought up Xbox. What the hell are you talking about? I swear Xbox lives rent free in a lot of you guy's heads. The console war never ends with you guys. Any criticism of a game for your chosen plastic box is automatically classed as an attack from the "other side".

Being unable to take and internalize criticism is exactly what destroyed comics, Star Wars, and Marvel. Now it's coming for video games. The trojan horse Sweetbaby Inc has already infiltrated all major publishing houses. If you aren't honest about your criticism, this industry too will have a divided and destroyed industry.

No industry is too big to fail.

The story for this game was mediocre at best and eye rollingly cringe at worst. This game launched buggy as hell.

The gameplay was fantastic but it has way too many knocks against it to be classified as a masterpiece.

A noticeable improvement over the Steam Deck, but those reflections are hilarious. You're definitely paying for better quality with that hefty price tag. I do like that density isn't really affected by quality, though.

darthv7292d ago

For the performance they were going for, increasing the reflections would not have been viable. The deck and rog can certainly be taken further into the quality mode, but obviously performance takes a huge hit..... but it does look good on a little screen.

shadowT92d ago

Yes, it runs somehow in low graphic resolution and with very limited effects. $1000 for this quality?

drivxr92d ago (Edited 92d ago )

Looks impressive for a handheld that lets you play anywhere other than a living room or a desk.

XBManiac92d ago

It works best with Steam OS, so don't despair.

darthv7292d ago (Edited 92d ago )

...or the PS portal
