Quad Damage 1,853 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 This isn't the first we've heard of games like Spider-Man and Fortnite lifting the industry up. Earlier this year NPD announced similarly rising figures on the back of Fortnite and God of War. Similarly, Sony boasted in September that Spider-Man had broken sales records set by God of War, and sales have apparently been so strong that the PlayStation business lifted Sony's financial forecast as a whole. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/spider-man-and-fortnite-lead-to-rising-game-indust/1100-6463592/ Link to post Share on other sites

McWicked 825 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I don't think it's Spiderman on its own, though it's clearly a hot ticket item for the year. I think it's Spiderman + PS4 in a $200 bundle. $200 is the sweet spot that consoles sell crazy numbers at, and bundling a hot new game with it is a recipe for sales explosion.
