Sales data for games on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles have been revealed following a hacking attack on Insomniac Games. According to the data, Spider-Man was one of the biggest hits, selling at least 22.7 million copies.
The publication of sales data on the ResetEra forum has received significant interest. The results pertain to the beginning of fiscal year 2022 and are presumed to be even better in reality. What is most impressive is that the first installment of Spider-Man was an absolute sensation, achieving sales of at least 22.7 million copies. Other games on the PlayStation 4 have also achieved significant success. God of War sold 21 million copies, Horizon Zero Dawn – 19.3 million, Uncharted 4 – 18.7 million, and The Last of Us – 18.6 million. Bloodborne also achieved lesser but still very good results with 7.6 million copies. Sales of the game Death Stranding were disappointing but still good, reaching 4.39 million copies.
The situation for games on the PlayStation 5 appears less impressive. Spider-Man: Miles Morales sold 11.1 million copies, while Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart sold 2.7 million. Demon’s Souls Remake achieved 2.1 million, Returnal – 1 million, and Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves only managed 569,000 copies. However, it is worth noting that Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves was recently released in January 2022. The compilation also includes digital sales, which are still limited for consoles. Physical copies dominate, with digital copies rarely exceeding 45% of total sales.
