A sales analyst predicts that Ghost of Tsushima will soon overtake Marvel’s Spider-Man as the best-selling PlayStation 4 exclusive in Japan.
The recent and probably the last major PlayStation 4 exclusive Ghost of Tsushima continues to establish itself as a big seller. In Sucker Punch, which a few days ago they shared some statistics of Jin Sakai’s adventure, they have to be especially happy, since the game is already second in the list of the best-selling exclusives in Japan, where it has been especially liked, as it was to wait.

A great merit without a doubt, more so given that Ghost of Tsushima has achieved it after only three weeks on the market, having appeared on July 17. The news comes from analyst Benji-Sales.
“After just three weeks, Ghost of Tsushima becomes the second best-selling game among all those coming from a Sony first party studio,” he said on his Twitter profile. “The best seller is Marvel’s Spider-Man, but with 300,000 physical copies sold, GoT will soon surpass it. Astounding results.”

It also stands out that Knack is the game that has distributed the most copies in Japan, but with the nuance that it began as the game with which PS4 was sold in Japan, with console and video game sets arriving in a bundle. “Some will say that Knack should be in first place,” he says. “” However, his sales are inflated when sold in a pack with PS4 in Japan, so it should not be taken into account when viewing his performance in terms of to software sales “.
In fact, Ghost of Tsushima’s sales have been so high in Japan that it has even exceeded Sony’s own expectations, so much so that the game has become practically sold out. A great success for Sucker Punch, which to get an idea you just have to see the number of images taken with its Photo Mode on social networks, according to the study, at a rate of 1.5 million a day.
