Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech...record-3-3-million-copies-opening/1346187002/Beats the God of War record with 3.1M in the first three days of release. And the number doesnt even factor the copies that came with the PS4 Pro Amazing Red bundle The popular comic-book superhero's recent resurgence has expanded beyond cinemas and into the world of video games, with the wallcrawler's latest self-titled game selling a record 3.3 million copies in the first three days of its release earlier this month. One million copies were pre-ordered, another record for Sony. That figure also does not factor in sales of the company's limited edition PlayStation 4 Pro bundle that combines a special Spider-Man version of the console with a copy of the game for $399.99. "It's met and exceeded all expectations. I think the company, and the campus, and our fans are super proud of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hot Sauce 2,727 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Sony is a video game industry superhero saving talented development studios from Microsoft's terrible management. I'm fully expecting the guys from Capcom Vancouver to start up a new studio and make a Playstation exclusive that's a GOTY contender and pushing 4 million in 3 days thanks to Sony's guidance and commitment to quality entertainment. Thank you, Sony, for saving gaming year after year. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And gaming has never been more casual, more accepted and more mainstream in its history by ridiculous margins. 7-8 years ago PC gaming was still relatively niche, a nerd activity which is now openly accepted and engaged in by basically everyone. It took Steam 7 years to hit roughly 70 million generated accounts, the following 7 years it hit roughly 700 million. Apples to oranges. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd argue that the Arkham series and now this Spiderman are the only two competent superhero entries ever made. Here's a great representation of casual influx.

jehurey 3,227 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 LOL, i love how Dynocrap is simply making up more shit. "demographic change in gaming" "spiderman is dramatically more popular superhero than batman" Wasn't he the one that was trying to downplay the thread from last week about Spiderman's UK sales numbers as saying that its not indicative of anything because it was only the first couple of days of stats? And now he's trying to downplay in the other direction as saying that a popular superhero game sold alot is not a surprise? Poor guy, he'd sound so clever if we didn't remember what he typed yesterday. LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Batman is definitely one if the most popular super heroes of all time. The Batman games sold millions individually as well... years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So by your logic...........because of the "comic scene", Spiderman's popularity should have made those PS2 sell more than the Arkham games. See...........your own bullshit has you cornered, you're going to have to concede something in order you get out of your own self-made corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You're on drugs. Batman is more popular than Spiderman in Videogames, comic books, movies, the 90s animated series, the DC animated movies, pop culture etc. Spiderman is just having a little resurgence in popularity because of Avengers. Batman has been consistently popular for decades. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lynux3 2,052 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 So... God of War sold 3.1m units in 3 days, this sells 3.3m units in 3 days. Sony's first party is unmatched. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's not true, since 1939 Batman has sold like 450 million comics, since 1963 Spiderman has sold like 375 million, that's over a million issues more sold per year than Batman, Spiderman is much more popular. Batman has had better games, the mechanics of the character has given credence to better function over the course of technological advancement. Making a Spiderman game has always posed issues with the scope, scale and function of character relative to mechanics of web slinging through a massive city. A Spiderman game couldn't have been properly done until now, and now it finally has been. I'd argue even now that a competent Superman game could not be made yet, we're not technologically there to handle that kind of scale and seamless scope or levels of destruction. Also better TV shows for children doesn't equate to a more popular character in general. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
