New gross sales information reveals that Ghost of Yotei has already managed to outsell Ubisoft’s Murderer’s Creed: Shadows on PS5.
The info comes from Alinea Analytics, in order at all times, do take it with a pinch of salt.
Within the newest e-newsletter, Rhys Ellison reveals that Ghost of Yotei has now hit round 2.5 million copies offered because it winds up its third week available on the market. Which means it has offered about one other million copies since Alinea printed preliminary gross sales information just a few weeks in the past. On the time, Alinea famous that Ghost of Yotei had already earned its improvement funds again on simply the 2nd day of gross sales.
However the actually enjoyable stat that Rhys Ellison revealed is that Sucker Punch’s Japanese journey about taking revenge on a bunch of masked males has crushed Ubisoft’s Japanese journey about taking revenge on a bunch of masked males. Yeah, it’s a bit bizarre we had two big-budget open-world video games with virtually the very same story premise launch in the identical yr.
When it comes to total gross sales, AC: Shadows is supposedly sitting at 4.3 million copies offered, a reasonably comfortable determine contemplating how a lot Ubisoft was betting on its success. Clearly, Ghost of Yotei can’t compete with that, particularly because it’s locked to a singular console. But when zoom in to that singular console, Alinea is reporting Shadows has offered 2.4 million copies.
Right here’s the true kicker, although: it took Shadows seven months to realize that determine, whereas Ghost of Yotei has achieved it in simply three weeks.
Nonetheless, Ghost of Yotei has a protracted approach to go but if it needs to beat its predecessor. Ghost of Tsushima had surpassed 13 million copies offered, final we heard again in September of 2024.
