Ghost of Yotei delivers strong opening across Europe

The Game Business writes: "It’s the biggest first-party PlayStation launch since Spider-Man 2 in October 2023.

The PS5 exclusive narrowly missed out on No.1, with EA Sports FC 26 holding on for a third week at the top. The football game’s standard edition had only launched the week before, and sales are down 62% week-on-week."

"opening sales in-line with its predecessor, 2020’s PS4 hit Ghost of Tsushima (digital and physical)."

Thats good because when Ghost Of Tsushima launched, PS4 was at about 113 million consoles in the wild. When Ghost of Yotei launched PS5 is at only 80 million consoles sold. The sequel selling on par with the 1st game is very good indeed.

Although this article doesn't specifically say it, Yotei actually outsold Ghost Of Tsushima's first week in Europe. Combined with your point about the install base, this is actually quite the over performance. Congrats to Sucker Punch. And congrats to Sony (thanks @italiangamer for catching that lol) for their biggest opening week since Spiderman 2.

Congrats to Dony and Ducker Lunch 🤣.

It would be disappointing regardless if it couldn't sell more than the original considering that it's now an established ip, so with that being said I don't think it sold well knowing that Sony has yet to release any sales figure for this sequel.

I played GoT when it came out on PS Plus extra. I was hooked. I should have bought the game when it launched.

Because of this, I bought GoY. GoY didn't let me down. Thanks Sucker Punch and Playstation Studios as a whole.

Oh we all know E33 is game of the year lol with like Death Stranding 2, Hades 2, Silksong and DKB and maybe even Blue Prince in the running , I'm sure GoY is a well made and polished game but it's not shaking up the industry .

S2Killinit93d ago

I would take GoY over E33 as my personal goty so far.

KDC2! So many great games this year!

ravens5293d ago (Edited 93d ago )

How's Death Stranding 2, Hades 2 or even Silksong shaking up the industry lmao. Just like Yotei they are better iterations of the 1st game. Don't even get me started on DKB. People just glaze Nintendo. As for GOTY I say E33 deserves it. Yotei is definitely a nominee for me.

Miraak82 93d ago

@ravens52 i didn't say those games are shaking up the industrial , I said GoY isn't specifically. The other games are just more highly rated and had better hype.

Game of the Year: #4 - Ghost of Yotei

Ghost of Tsushima ended up being one of the most beloved outings of the PS4 generation, and so topping the adventures of Jin Sakai was never going to be easy.

And while we think that opinions will likely always be divided on which Ghost title is best, Ghost of Yotei is a superb sequel that both builds on its predecessor, and delivers a slightly different take on samurai cinema.

Definitely MY game of the year.

All I have left now is to beat Takezo, but that fool is difficult. I’m learning little by little thought, I’ll soon earn the win, and the plat.

They should call it "The Sony Awards."
