>The Last of Us Part 2 has shot to the top of the UK boxed charts in significant fashion.
>The action horror game is Sony's fastest-selling release this generation, narrowly beating the opening week of 2016's Uncharted 4 by just over 1%. Download sales are not included in this data, so when we factor in digital sales, it's possible the game's launch was even bigger.
>The Last of Us Part 2 is comfortably bigger than its PS3 predecessor, with launch sales 76% higher (although it's worth noting that PlayStation 4 is a more popular console than PlayStation 3).
>As a result, it's the biggest UK launch for any boxed game released this year so far, with sales 40% higher than the previous best -- Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
There truly is no hope. You gaymers are all a bunch of fucking degenerated assholes.

But the bad reviews.....

Zig Forums, you really need to get it through your thick skulls that games with tons of hype are going to sell, regardless of quality.
It doesn't matter if the story is shit, or the gameplay is shit, if it has a ton of marketing, and especially if it's pretending to be SO MACHEWER, it's going to sell.
Christopher Williams
This is gonna be like when Batman v Superman had the largest opening ever and then cratered after people actually started watching the movie Though Batman v Superman is better than TLOU2

>Europe Irrelevant. They're all snoyggers
Isaac Howard
Yes, the damage has already been done, most people preordered it. Good luck trying to sell your next game though.
Good, this is the kind of sjw dumpster fire that turns people right wing.
Caleb Miller
UK is the only mainstream review shit that has shat on it.
Jason Clark
...
Tyler Hill
Yep
BFV sold well initially too. DICE was so confident and in hubris they held events openly shitting on alt-right. Then reality hit them and BFV basically died.
Isaac Ramirez
You're all faggots for believing polls and sales numbers. Anyone with a brain knows Neil Druckmann is bribing the guys in charge of the sales numbers to lie about the game.
SONY ALWAYS WINS BABY *we fly high plays at max volume*

>The Last of Us 2 Smashes Sales Records, sells 40% more than AC New Horizons
AC Horizons is a slow burner, these huge AAA games fizzle out in a few weeks.

>Good, this is the kind of sjw dumpster fire that turns people right wing.
Aye. More people will be coming here as they get banned from plebbit for trashing this game.
Get your redpills ready for the conversion therapies lmao.
Jace Hall
I wonder what the refund percentage rate is going at?
Easton Edwards
Why so much seething?
John Brooks
>UK >Europe Maybe 10% of total sales come from EU and 1% from UK
Zachary Rogers
>Comparing sales to ACNH which released in the middle of the corona lockdown so people couldn't leave their houses and just purchased the digital version ACNH won't be beaten in sales this year
Gabriel Harris
That is unfortunate.
Jordan Rodriguez
All this proves is what I've known all along. The vast majority of people lack taste and have no standards to speak of.

DELET DELET NOW JANNIES, IT IS AGREED THAT SALES THREADS ARE ALLOWED ONLY ABOUT BEST SELLING NINTENDO GAMES DELET

CRUNCH 96/3.4
NO CRUNCH 91/5.1

this desu. shit's plastered over all electronics stores round here and most people just know it's a sequel to something they liked once.
John Hughes
This. The Last Jedi sold a lot of tickets, but the franchise is pretty much dead. Not sure if Mass Effect 3 and ME: Andromeda are good examples, since Andromeda was not only a sequel to the part that ruined the franchise, it was also hilariously bad in its own right.
Hudson Hughes
The Star Wars sequels also broke records and still managed to tank the franchise. That said, vidya is in a fucking dire state and you would do well do get a better hobby.
Chase Robinson
lol no.
Dylan Powell
Ah yes... the sales equal quality argument. So unexpected. Sells are never an indicator of quality, they are an indicator of popularity which is to say they measure society´s reaction towards a product. From that data you could extrapolate social interests and certain cultural aspects but nothing about the game. I mean, if you followed that logic capeshit would be the pinacle of cinema and Trump would be the best president in history. I´m just saying.
Henry Wright
No you fuck off you dumb nintendo bitch.
Lemme know when Bayonetta 3, SMTV, Metroid Prime 4, or, well, ANY non-Mario videogames comes to your tablet.
